There are some errors regarding where they are and how certain things are said in one area but I don't feel the need to change it. It is my story lol.

The atmosphere is quiet when he enters. "Sarah, I'm home," he yells out.

No reply is given, confusion floods his face, he closes the door behind him and locks it, setting the keys down on top of the kitchen counter. He begins to take his brown, leathered jacket off as he walks towards their room. Before reaching the door, he hears frantic shuffling on the other side. Slowly opening the door, he peeks in and sees a blonde-haired figure grabbing things out of their closet.

"Hey, Sarah," he begins, huge grin on his face when he approaches the small crib beside their bed. He passes Sarah and moves to the angel sleeping soundly in the crib. Adoring the scene of his new born child for a minute, then going back to Sarah.

She steps out of the closet with a pile of clothes in her hand and throws it on the bed. He turns to her in confusion, "What're you doing? Spring cleaning already?" He chuckles, stopping when she turns to face him with a serious and cold look.

"What's wrong?" He ask in worry. She ignores the question and continues doing what she was before, frantically looking for something.

In an attempt to help her, he ask, "What're you looking for? Maybe I ca-"

"Where's my suitcase?" She cuts him off with a cold tone. He looks to her in confusion, "I think it's in the storage closet in the kitchen, why d-" She jets out of the room, not letting him finish off his question. He takes a big gulp before following to where she was now. He's afraid at this point.

"Sarah, really. What's going on?" He attempts to communicate with her again, but she ignores him and continues to walk past him with the large, black suitcase in her hands towards their room.

"Please," he begs behind her, he's at the verge of tears at this point, he doesn't know what to do.

"I'm leaving," she finally breaks the silence, his heart drops.

"W-wh-what do y-you mean?" A single tear drops from his eye, following another, then another, fear consuming his body.

"I can't do this anymore, this- this stress, I'm going back to my mom's." For a second she pauses and lets out a deep breath, she looks to the tall, scrawny man in front of her. She shakes her head as if in disbelief, "I can't believe you talked me into all this, I was never ready to be a mother."

"B-but Sarah," he chokes out. She zips up the suitcase and grabs her purse off of the nightstand. Walking out of the room, he follows behind her like a lost puppy. When she reaches the door, he grabs her arm, "please, don't leave," he begs.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not fit to do this." With that, she shakes out of his grip and opens the door, before closing it, she gives one last look to the shaking man she's leaving behind.

"Don't try to find me," and with that, she's gone, slamming the door on her way out. He falls to his knees and puts his head in his hands. Tears flooding down from his face, his heart shattering into smaller and smaller pieces as the pain surges in. Negative thoughts float through his mind and he feels his body becoming numb, he questions life, how'd it get to this point, what triggered the only person he's truly loved in his life to leave.

He's taken out of his trance when a cry echoes through the small flat. The scream makes him jump and he rushes to get up, almost trampling over the boots on the floor. Entering the room, he heads to the crib and almost breaks at the sight of the small baby crying, face red and wet from tears. He picks the child up gently into his arms and holds them close, rocking the baby until they've calmed down.

"shh, it's okay Adrian, daddys here, daddy will always be here."

16. Harry was only 16 when he was left to take care of his newborn son.
