Unexpected Book I
Amara Simms felt the need for more in her somewhat perfect life. She had her dream job, working in a beautiful city, a house, car, and a supportive group of family and friends. What could she possibly be missing? A boyfriend, yes b...
"I'm regretting the decision to let you be my workout partner."
"Come on, you're so close to your goal. There's no reason to slack off now."
"You're right, I'm up."
"Good I'll meet you downstairs with the boys." After our argument a few months ago we went to my doctor and she diagnosed me with postpartum depression. She recommended that I go to therapy and talk about the problems I'd been having since giving birth. Kason came with me to a few of my sessions, it helped us work through a few problems we'd been having for the past few months.
Part of our plan was for us to work out together four days a week, starting with a jog every morning. Some days we brought the boys some days they spent the morning with Val or Kathleen so that Kace and I could have alone time. Something I loved about our morning jogs was how freeing it was and when we walked back home together we talked about any and everything like when we first met.
"Someone is very excited this morning." I said as we did our stretches.
"I've got a lot to be happy for. I have a beautiful wife, two amazing sons, I'm at the top of my division. What more could a man ask for besides more kids?"
"I can think of something."
"And what would that be?"
"Being nominated Men's Health Man of the Year."
"I guess that's pretty nice."
"Nice, babe this is big."
"I know it is but you know I'm not an awards person."
"True but be excited for me at least."
"I'll try, how are you feeling today?" It'd become a routine for Kason to ask me how I'm feeling when I first wake up and again before I went to sleep. It helped me talk about my frustrations and feel better knowing that he cared enough to listen and reassure me when needed.
"Much better than I have these past few weeks. Thank you for dealing with me, I know I can be difficult at times."
"I love you and I told you I'm here for better or for worst."
"Morning breath, stretch marks and all."
"If it means being with you, I'm okay with it. Now come on, you have a doctors appointment." We made it back home in enough time to take a shower before the boys woke up.
"Don't rush me."
"I'm not, our six weeks are finally up and that ass has been looking amazing during our workouts."
