The Unhappy Bride

Family

"Mom what's wrong?" I asked as we walked to the balcony. She looked like she was about to cry.

"I'm sorry, I have always made your life what I think it should be and not what you want, I'm sorry" she said.

"Mom I forgive you," I said as we hugged.

"Just promise me you won't be like me and your father, don't let him hit you and don't stay because of the baby." She said as she ruffled through her purse for something.

"Mom I promise." I said as she pulled out my grandma's charm bracelet. My grandma died a couple years ago. She gave my mom the bracelet when she had just gotten married. Now my mom was giving it to me.

"I never knew who to give it too but now it's clear you deserve it." She said as she put it on my wrist. I saw the tears in her eyes "She'd want you to have it honey." I began to cry. I missed my grandma. She was so fun to be around and she was just like my second mom. She was there when my mom wasn't.

"Okay mom we got to stop crying." I said as I wiped my face and hugged her again. We walked back to were everyone else was. I came and sat next to Mike. He was talking to one of his friends.

"Mike who's this?"

"Oh Kayla this is Zax, he's the caterer. Zax this is my wife Makayla."

"Oh nice to meet you Zax." I said as we shook hands.

"So you're the Mrs. nice to meet you too."

"Thank you for your service tonight the food was amazing." I laughed as I looked over at Mike.

"Oh no problem." He said as he walked away. Mike looked at me and smiled. We kissed.

"We need to talk later."

"About?" I said as I glared at him. It was hard to tell what was wrong with him. I couldn't read him but I knew something was wrong.

"We'll talk after the party." He said giving me the side eye. I walked to Ashlyn and we talked. I asked her about her pregnancy. My body wasn't really changing but I did start to have some odd cravings. Like pickles and chocolate or I'd want crushed ice and other odd food.

"That's normal honey."

"Do you have any tips for my first month."

"Just take your prenatal vitamins and you should be fine."

"Alright." I said as she left. It was getting late and my little nieces have a curfew.

"Bye Mila, bye Leigh." I said as they hugged me and left. More people started to leave. After everyone left the caterers had to break all the stuff down. Mike helped them finish but I was getting a little tired. I got ready for bed so I took a shower when Mike came and joined me.

"Kayla is there anything you aren't telling me?"

"No, why?"

"Kayla I hate to ask you this but well never mind."

"Mike what's wrong?" I asked as I kissed him. He still seemed a little distant.

"Nothing." I knew something was up so I kissed him again. He knew I was trying to pry it out of him with kisses

"Honey let's just go to bed." He said as we got out of the shower. He didn't throw his towel on the floor this time. Something was wrong. He didn't come to bed either. Instead he sat on the balcony. I went to the balcony and sat with him. I kissed him again.

"Mike come to bed." I said. He didn't get up. "Baby please come to bed." He looked me in my eyes.

"Are you still talking to Kyle?" He asked as he got up.

"Where is this coming from?" I asked angrily.

"I heard you talking to Brice, when where you going to tell me." He snapped as he walked back I to the bed. My eyes watered.

"He needs to know Mike, I'm not sure who the father is."

"Really so when did decide you weren't going to tell me."

"Well I didn't know how I was going to tell you Mike, but I did intend to tell you. To answer your other question no I don't talk to him. If you were listening then you'd know that he left and I haven't talked to him since." My voice cracked as I cried. I went back to the room with him and began packing.

"What are you doing." He said as I packed a little suitcase. He stopped me as I was crying. "Okay I'm sorry, I just-

"We can't keep doing this." I stopped packing and broke down on the floor in front of the closet. He picked me up and carried me to bed. When we got to bed I buried my face in his chest as he held me close.

"You're right, we can't keep arguing like this. I trust you Makayla. I'm sorry for eavesdropping and assuming." He said as he kissed my forehead.

"I trust you to Mike." I said as I looked up so he'd kiss my lips instead.

"I love you Makayla." He laughed as he cradled me to sleep.

The next morning Mike cooked. I woke up to the smell of coffee. Usually I loved it but now it made me feel sick. When I walked in the kitchen I almost threw up. The smell was killing me, which was abnormal. I sat at the table and put my head down.

"Kayla did you take your vitamins?"

"Yes please stop brewing that coffee. The smell is making me noxious."

"Are you okay?" He asked as he brung the food to the table. I felt okay but that smell was getting to me. If the smell did that much to me, I hate to see what coffee would do to me.

"I'm fine, but I think I'll be having orange juice today." I said as he brought the food to the table.

"Are we still doing lunch?"

"Yea."

"Don't forget to call me if you need anything okay?" He said as he looked at me.

"Okay, I'll be fine by my self honey seriously." I quit my job. It's not what I really wanted to do. I always wanted to be an event planner.

"Alright I'm just telling you." He laughed. It was 8:00. Mike had to be to work by 9:00. He's a lawyer and he manages a legal firm. We finished breakfast and he left for work. I had the whole day to myself. First I cleaned the penthouse then I went shopping for baby stuff. After while it was lunch time. I met Mike at Harry's.

"Hey baby." He said as we kissed.

"Hi how's your day going?"

"It's good I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day with you."

"Cool, I saw this really cute baby bed earlier and I want you to see it."

"Alright." We finished lunch and went shopping the rest of the day.
