A FEW WEEKS without calls or any knowledge where Dal was. It was all just a mess and I hated it. I was all alone while being pregnant with twins. I didn't understand anything going on. Randy and Bob agreed to drop the case seeing I had evidence they had attacked me that morning. So now Dal was free of any charges but again nowhere to seen. I did everything for him and now he's just gone once again without any explanation.

"Listen to the names I'm suggesting." Mary snapped her fingers in my face as she was reading off baby names for the twins. I wouldn't know the gender of the twins until they were born so it was sort of hard finding names.

"Fine. List them off as you please." I murmured not in the mood for this right now.

"Caroline if one of them is a girl?"

"No, I already know someone named Caroline."

"Okay, if one of them is a boy how about John?"

"Oh gosh, no I hear that name everywhere."

"Alright then. Matthew, Laura, David, Julia, Eric? Any of those names sound nice?"

"No. Too simple."

"You're so boring. I know Dallas is on your mind so spit it out. Will ya?" Mary sat next to me as I laid flat on my bed since my ankles were swollen. She was correct Dallas was on my mind and has been for a very long time.

"He is Mary. I don't know I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I try so hard to deal with him but sometimes I feel like enough is enough. But then again I witness the rare moments where he shows that he clearly cares for me and wants to be apart of the twin's lives. But then the cycle continues where he leaves and I don't think I want that happening for my kids. It's not right." I explained holding on tightly to the locket that had been precisely chosen by Dal.

"Look I'm going to tell you that you should just follow your gut instinct. If Dallas truly does want to be in the lives of his kids, he will and maybe perhaps try to work things out with you. I can see the way you both look at each other that isn't nothing Rose." She smirked placing her hand on my shoulder to reassure me. I didn't know what my gut instinct was at this moment, but I don't think I can visualize a life without Dallas and I was hoping he would feel the exact way too.

"You're right, but I'm worried about him. I know it's Dal but after him being locked up in the cooler I can't help but think if he's in trouble." I whispered my eyes blurring from the tears forming in my eyes. Being pregnant had my hormones all over the place, and this was making it much worse.
