I want you.

Another Woman.

  I walk in the house and I am delighted with the sweet smell of brownies in the oven.

"Mom im here!" I say.

My mom comes darting down the hallway. She hugs me practically pushing me over.

"So glad to see you." She says.

My dad appears.

"You just can't stay away can you?" My dad says jokingly.

I laugh. He gives me a hug.

"So I have something to tell you guys." I say getting ready to break the news.

"And that is?" My dad replies.

I can't help but feel so emotional. I guess this is what being pregnant does to you.

"Okay well...Im.."

There was a silence.

They stare at me intensely.

"Im 3 months pregnant."

My dads jaws dropped and almost hit the floor. My mom gasped and covers her mouth shocked.

It was quiet. I just watched there faces. I was unsure how they felt. My mom gave my dad a quick look. Then my mom started squealing and jumping up and down out of no wheres.

"Oh my god, im going to be a grandma!!" She yells with excitement. She looks at my dad and hugs him.

"Were ganna be grandparents!" My dad laughs.

Then they both hug me. They both congratulate me. My mom feels my stomach. I barely have a bump but its getting there.

"Well you must be hungry with a extra person in there! Come eat dinner. Its almost done." My dad says.

We sit at the dining room table eating my mother's famous beef stew.

"So did you come back because you found out you were pregnant?" My dad asked.

"Well no, See Tom gave me a pep talk that got me motivated to come back. Well I was packing I realized I missed my period. I mean I was throwing up and gaining weight it all made sense. I made a appointment at the hospital and the next day got checked out and boom...im pregnant." I explain

"So Roberts the father right?" My dad says.

"Yeah Its Robert."

My mom clears her throat and my dad gives her a glance. She shakes her head at him.

"What?" I say speciously.

"Nothing honey." My mom says lying.

"Its just. Me and your father took a walk in the park the other day and saw Robert."

"Really!? How did he look? Did you talk to him?!" I ask very quickly.

My mom and dad looked at each other. There faces not looking very promising.

"Alex he was with a woman." My dad spurts out.

I drop my spoon letting it hit the table hard.

"What? Who was she?" I ask with my voice sounding shaky.

"Were not sure. She looked his age maybe a little older." My mom answers.

I feel my eyes water.

"I think im going to go to bed." I say standing up.

"Honey. Please sit down." My mom demands.

I don't even say another word. I stand up and leave. I go to the guest room and and plop my self on my bed. The tears flow.

He seemed so heart broken and miserable when I left. How could of he gotten over me so fast. I mean Im the one who left him and I was the one who us overly depressed. Maybe he didn't love me as much as I thought he did. He's over me now. But im not over him. I will never be over him. Well I have to face him some time. I mean for god sakes im having his child. I finally fall asleep letting my last thoughts drift to Robert. Its kinds funny I still remember his face. I remember every detail of it. When I was away from Tom as the days went by I slowly forgot what he looked like. The thing with Robert is I still remember what he looks like. It never left my mind. Same thing with my bother. He has been gone for almost 10 years but I still remember every inch of his face. I guess its because I truly love Robert and my bother.
