Unconditional Love: A Mother's Gift

Go Away

The next day, Destiny tried to summon the courage to tell her parents about hers and Mathew's situation with Madison.

"Mathew...I'm scared to tell my mom and dad." Destiny said during a date night out with Mathew. "I'm scared of their reaction."
Mathew looked down feeling ashamed; after all this was all his fault. He put down his fork and gave Destiny a sad look.
"I know. I'm sorry we have be going through this. For putting you through this." Mathew said then he sighed. "They are going to be pissed at me. Your dad is going to kill me."
Destiny took a sip of her wine and said seriously. "Well, I wouldn't put past him."
Mathew nodded. Then Destiny continued with a sly smile. "Okay, maybe kill is a little bit too much. He'll probably kick your ass though."
Mathew looked at Destiny and couldn't help but chuckle. Destiny gave a chuckle too.
"Well, I deserve it! I'll happily take what he has to give me." He said.

Destiny held her smile for a moment then leaned in to kiss Mathew from across their table.

Their intimate moment was cut short however by a women's voice saying. "So, this is where I find you instead of at home with me awaiting the arrival of her baby!"

Mathew and Destiny turned and saw Madison standing in front of them holding her belly.
Everyone at the restaurant turned and stared.

"Madison! What is wrong with you?!" Mathew said. He was shocked at her outburst and was angry. He couldn't believe she would do something like this in public.

"What is wrong with me?" Madison said with a chuckle. "What is wrong with you Mathew!? If you weren't happy with our marriage then you should have told me!"

Tears ran down Destiny's cheeks; by this point, the whole restaurant stared and listened to every word being spoken.

Mathew stood up and said forgetting they were in public. All he saw was red. "Madison you're crazy! We are not married! I am married to Destiny! We have been married for three years! You were nothing to me but a one night stand and you know I'm going to take responsibility for my child!"
"Oh right! The wife that can't give you a child!" Madison said with wicked smile looking at Destiny. She then looked back at Mathew and said to the people in the restaurant. "Okay fine! We aren't married. I just couldn't help but rub our affair in his wife's face. Doing this in front of you people just added to the fun."

Destiny was sobbing hard now, she stood up and ran out the door. Mathew threw a hundred dollar bill on the table that took care of their meal and that left the waiter with a huge tip.
Mathew didn't care, he just needed to get out of there and go after Destiny.

Mathew found her hunched over by their car just sobbing. Mathew walked over to comfort her but she pushed him away.
"Des...baby. Don't listen to that crazy bitch!" Mathew said trying to hug her again. "She's just...she's just jealous of what we have."
Destiny once again pushed him away from her and said in between sobs. "Just...take...me home. Our home. I'll...call my...mom...later. I can't...have...her see...me like this."

Mathew nodded and walked to the drivers side then got in and drove home. Destiny cried the whole ride home; as soon as Mathew parked the car, Destiny rushed to the front door and used her key to go inside.
Mathew followed close to her; she ran to the nursery and shut the door leaving Mathew knocking outside of it.

"Des, come on open up." Mathew said feeling extremely worried.
"Go....away!!!" Destiny yelled. "Just...leave me alone!"
