There is Still Hope

36

I sat there crying. Thinking of the possibilities. I couldn't stop crying. Once I stop I go to the bathroom to clean up.

"Mommy! Guess what!" I heard Charlotte run upstairs.

"What?" I asked hugging her.

"I made a friend! Her name is Annie. She is really short." I laughed at her description.

"Well your dad is a giant." I say.

"That's true." she says.

"Do you know anything else about Annie?" Harry asks.

"Uhh, I think she has a hamster." she says. I laugh.

"Are you hungry?" I ask cleaning up a bit.

"Yeah a little."

"What are you drawing?"

"A cat." she says. "like tater." she adds.

"Tater isn't gray." Harry mocks. she looks at Tater who is on the couch.

"Crackers." she says crumpling the paper and throwing it away.

"Do you want to go somewhere?"

"Yes I do!" she says.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Can we go to Olive Garden?" she says.

"That's fine."

We hop in the car and drive there. It's packed.

"I'll see what the wait time is, I'll be back." Harry says and leaves the car. We wait for fives minutes and comes back.

"That wait time is an hour." he sighs.

"Oh, let's go somewhere else." I say. after driving around for half an hour, we go back home. Starving I pop some popcorn. I sit on the couch and watch l Dora with Charlotte.

"THAT ONE!" She screams at the tv.

"Mommy look! I was right." She points.

"Good job." I tell her.

I call Troy. Even though I kind of cheated on Harry with him.

"Hey! Sarah!"he says.

"Hi Troy."

"How's it going?" he ask.

"Well, Harry and I have been fighting." I sigh.

"I'm sorry."

"No, Troy it's not your fault."

"I know."

"So how have you been." I try to lighten the mood.

"Well same old same old." he says bored.

"Wanna meet up somewhere?"

"Yeah that'll be great!" he says happily."How's the little ice cream shop by the bakery?" He adds.

"That sounds great! See you there."

"You too." I hang up. I sigh and walk to Harry.

"Harry, I have to tell you something really important." Butterflies in my stomach, a knot in my throat.

"Did you break a nail? Do you want me to call 911?!" he jokes.

"No, I, I'm pregnant." I say scared.

"What?"

"I'm pregnant, were gonna have a child together."

"I don't know of we are ready to have a kid." he worries, holding my stomach.

"Neither do I." i say hugging him. A tear drops down my cheek, but before it falls, Harry wipes it away and kisses my forehead.

"I love you to the moon and back." he says
