The Wife

Chapter 2: Help

A couple weeks later.

Beyoncé

When life is going great it's hard to believe anything could be going wrong right under your nose. I'll explain. Lately Kelly has been acting strange, when I say strange I mean stranger then she normally acts.

It could be from the stress from being a new mom and all But I have a feeling that it's more than that.

She's been having very quick mood swings, crying over nothing, exhausted and just seems sad. I'm a nurse I see these things all the time with new mothers it's called postpartum depression. I know what your wondering "Well you've been taking care of Faith just like Kelly has for the last few weeks too why don't you have postpartum depression?"

The answer is I'm not the one who went through 10 months of carrying a child and then spend like 8 hours giving birth to it. I mean that's a lot to swallow and now that she's here. Kelly is probably just drained.

I don't like watching my baby suffer. There's just one problem, I don't think Kelly knows or realizes that something is definitely wrong with her. I could try to just talking to her. I Don't Know, This could go good or very bad. 

I walk in the nursery as Kelly breast feeds little baby Faith. Omg she's so cute and small. I love her.

"Hey baby" I say standing in the doorway.

"Hi" she said blandly. I look at her face and I mean I really got a good  look at her. She looks tired. 

"Kelly, are you okay?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah I'm fine" she said not even looking at me.

"You sure?" I pressed. I just needed her to talk to me. Just throw me a bone.

"Yes!" She snapped. I nodded. Welp I guess this conversations over.

"Okay sorry. I just wanted to make sure" I said throwing my hands up in defense.

"Well I'm fine so you can stop looking at me like that" she said adjusting herself.

"I'm not looking at you like anything" I responded softly.

"Yes you are" she spat.

"How am I looking at you Kelly?" I asked. I should've never even said anything in the first place.

"Your looking at me like I'm some kind of head case"

"No I'm not"

Well I wouldn't have to look at you like your a head case if you weren't acting like a head case.

"Whatever" she rolled her eyes.

"Ohh-kayy, anyway I'm cooking dinner tonight. Anything you want in particular?"

"No. It doesn't matter"

Of course it doesn't. Nothing matters to you anymore.

"Okay" I nodded leaving the room. No point in even trying to talk to her. Whatever comes out my mouth she's gonna take it wrong.

Kelly

I unlatched Faith and covered up. "Come on baby girl" I brought her downstairs and put her in her swing. She loves it so much.

Look I know what your thinking. And I'm here to tell you I'm completely fine. So I don't get why Beyoncé is the one making me feel like there's something wrong with me. Well there's not okay. I'm just tired that's it. So what I'm a little snappy. She should know that's how I am. Just because she's a nurse doesn't make me one of her little patients. I'm fine. Actually I'm better then fine I'm great!
