NO REGRETS

*2*

(Gabrielle's Pov)
It's been two months since I moved in with Damien and everyday has just been wonderful, making me feel relieved that I made the right choice. Damien has been nothing but helpful making me feel at home with  him,these past two months,he  has  been really accommodating and has made room for me in his schedule. He has accompanied me to my monthly ultrasound scan and is always concerned about my general well-being.
           Most days, I have all day to myself so I mostly just go shopping for baby clothes and decorate my baby's room, or watch movies or try out new recipes to consume time. Today I'm planning to go grocery shopping, so immediately Damien left for work I set out for another shopping escapade.
        Shopping was going well and I was really using the peace and quiet to reflect on how my life was going to turn out when my baby finally came, when I bumped into something or rather someone, I looked up to apologise when I saw someone I never thought I would see again, my best buddy,Cole Anderson.

        I've never really felt like committing or making  a promise to anyone, especially when it comes to the subject of marriage, most people think or from what I've heard or seen, that people, most likely guys who are players always have a background story as to why they do or are what they are which often is caused by a broken heart.If it is the reason other guys do so, it definitely is not why I do so, it's just who I am, or I'm most likely just afraid to commitments (not that I'm going to tell anyone though).
   All this cheesy stuff about commitments tend to occupy my thou everytime I step into my parents huge mansion,saying huge is an understatement, grand fits better, as I walk through the halls,it's seems empty, what am I saying, it is empty but it still feels like home even though its been almost if not five years I moved out. I did not move out because I had any issues with my parents, I just felt like I needed to fend for myself immediately I clocked 20.As I entered the  pristine clean and spacious living room, I make out the silhouette of my dad on the sofas my mom crushes me in a rib breaking hug, I laugh as I hug her small frame and get intoxicated in her scent that I always miss whenever she leaves when she comes to visit. I've always had a soft spot for my mom, maybe it's because I know she's the closest I would ever I have to a trustworthy female friend in my entire life.
     I already know how this discussion would go,because this is not the first time I've been summoned by my dad. So as I  sit down next to my mom, I tuned them out and start to think of a good excuse as to why I'm not yet married because apparently talking about getting married is a very good way to spend a Saturday. If I wasn't here I probably would be passed out on my bed having a sick hangover.
  They just don't want to understand that I will never be able to commit to just one woman for the rest of my life. I don't hear anything so I assume they asked me a question and I look up, but what I see has my heart breaking into pieces,my mom had been crying all this while and there and then, I knew if I say what I've been telling them every other time, I would not be able to forgive myself.
Christiana's  face flashed through my mind and I remembered meeting her two months ago and was very happy for her when I saw that she was pregnant and engaged. We were  secondary school friends and I remember how tight we used to be that it was rumored that we were a couple.So I blurted out  the first thing that came to my mind;I have a girlfriend and she's pregnant.
