Ava's Pov 

(8 weeks pregnant and 4 days)

Seconds turned into the minutes. The minutes has turned into the hours. The hours went to days. Now the days has went to 3 weeks. 3 weeks since I was told about my husband. None of this is making any scenes at all. The police told my mother, Blake and I that they found Brantley's truck with blood every where? But they couldn't find a body? Being married to a detective I knew one day if that day came Brantley would have been killed during work, but not like this. 

I was so mad at him, that I knew told him I still loved him. Why? How? How am I going to go on living my life with out my best friend. My husband. My kids need there father? I knew thought that I would be a single mother again, but what do you know. Here I am. Raising a 16 year old, a 5 year old and being pregnant again. This baby is all I have left of Brantley. And he never knew that I was having a baby? 

I'm only 8 weeks pregnant and you can see my little bump that I'm rocking already. Today Becky is coming over. Her and I haven't really talked about nothing since we both got the news. Mom is out for the day. I left her in charge of the food shopping and house shopping today. Blake took Ned for the day for me as well. Ever since I had to tell Ned about his daddy, he hasn't left Blake's side. 

I looked at myself in the bath room mirror and all I see is hell. My partner in this life is gone. When we had Brantley's funeral we didn't even had a body. All I want to do is kiss him one last time. To hold him. I've wanted to grow old with Brantley. Having our children here on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Having our grand children here. Going to bed one last time and waking up in heaven together. Hand in hand Brantley and I would walk thru the glory gates together. 

After I was done with myself I walked into the kitchen. I haven't been sleeping in the master bedroom. I can't go in there. I know they say that time heals itself but I'm not there yet. And In some ways I don't know if I'll ever be there. Brantley was my first true love. I didn't know then but meeting Brantley was the one of the best things to happened to me.

I was about to get some glasses felled up with tea when I heard a knock on the door. I walked over to the front door and opened it. It was Becky. She pulled me into a hug. It was so good to see her again. As much hell I'm going through she is the one that lost her son. We need each other more then ever now. I looked at her and gave her a smile. 

"I'm glad you are here?" I said to her. 

"Me too baby. Me too." Becky said to me. I held her hand and we walked into the kitchen. 

"This place is quite." Becky said to me. I went to get the tea out of the fridge. 

"Yeah. Mom is out food shopping and the boys are with Kate today." I said to her. 

"Well, I'm sad that I've missed your mother and my grandchildren." Becky said to me. I smiled at her. 

"How are you doing Becky?" I asked her. Becky and I both sat down at the kitchen table. 

"Oh. Good as I can. Kolby hasn't left me out of his sight. I know he's doing what he thinks is best, but. You know with sons." Becky said to me. 

"I do. I think he is only looking out for you. Just know whatever you need Becky the boys and I are here for you." I said to my mother in law. 

"I know dear. How are you, Blake and Ned all doing?" Becky asked me. 

"We're getting by. Ned is sleeping with either Blake or I. Mom has taken charged around here, and-- and I'm okay." I said to her.
