Months before...
"Are you sure you don't want me to go?"
The brush smoothed out the random strands in my hair, and I looked at myself in the mirror. The bandages wrapped around my wrists stood out to me - the reminder of what I'd tried to do a few days before taunting me. But I couldn't...shouldn't have ever tried that.
I should have known it wasn't just me anymore.
My gaze traveled to my belly through the mirror. It was flat, no sign of life. No evidence of the growing child within me and yet...I knew it was there.
We shouldn't have stopped using protection but for just a few days we'd been on the same page. For a few days everything had been perfect and we'd planned a family, thinking nothing would stop us.
Or at least it's what I thought.
Fragile dreams.
I had to face him though, or at least try. Evie insisted she go with me, but I couldn't let her. This was a conversation I needed to have with Derek alone. We needed to figure it out not only for our sake but for the future of our baby. There was no reason why we couldn't do this and though I was angry, I was willing to forgive. I was willing to try and put this behind us to give our baby the family that we never had.
"Hannah?"
I blinked, meeting Evie's concerned gaze through the mirror. Setting the brush to the side, I turned around and smiled at her.
"It's okay, Evie. I'll be back soon."
"But Hannah. Are you sure?"
Not really.
I'm not sure about anything anymore.
"Yeah, I'm sure. If I'm not back within a couple of hours you can go look for me, but I promise, if anything comes up I'll let you know, okay?"
Evie nodded, and after a few minutes I took a cab to Derek's apartment. I wasn't nervous or scared. In fact, I was so calm it was surprising.
However, since I realized I was pregnant everything changed. It should have been stressful given our situation, and yeah, my heart was absolutely shattered that I couldn't share this with Derek in the way I would have liked to but we were having a baby. This child was the extra motivation I needed. The strength I'd been missing a few days before.
