*Listen to Yours by Raiden while reading this chapter*

I stayed at my parents house for dinner and decided to just stay for the night. While we are all in the living room watching TV, I send a text to Wonho.

"My appointment went well and I'm fine. I will see you later. I love you."

I get an answer from him right away.

"That's good to hear. :) I love you too."

As I lay on the couch I start to think some crazy thoughts. What if I went back to Indiana for a trip? What if I saw my family there? I turn onto my side to look at my family.

"What would you think if I went to Indiana for a week?" I ask them. Everyone turns their head to look at me at the same time.

"Why would you do that?" My mom asks me. I shrug.

"To clear my head and maybe to see my family there."

"Just remember what they did to you." My dad says. I nod.

"Of course. You guys are my only family."

"Just be careful if you go. You have another person to look after now." My sister tells me and points to my stomach. I nod again.

"I will. I'm going to leave in the morning." I say and lay back on my back.

"What about Wonho?" Jisoo asks.

"I'll see him when I get back." I reply. I hear her get up and then she appears over me.

"Tabby, hear me out right now. I can tell how much Wonho loves and cares about you. Don't throw that away." She tells me. I sit up and grab her hand.

"I would never throw what I have with him away. He's the best I could ever have. I just need to clear my head. I just found out that I'm having a baby." I reply. Jisoo nods and squeezes my hand.

"It is crazy," Jisoo says and then smiles. "But I'm so happy for you." I smile too and sit up. I pull her into a tight hug.

"Thank you." I tell her softly.

I spend the night at my parents house and got up early the next morning. As I'm getting ready to go to the airport, my sister comes into my room.

"I'm coming with you to see you off." She tells me. I smile softly. Of course she is. She helps me with the small bag I have to take with me. I'm only going for a week, so I don't need much.

We walk outside and get a taxi to take us to the airport. As we sit side by side in the back of the taxi, Jisoo grabs my hand and holds it the whole way. Besides Wonho, Jisoo is the closest person in my life. It feels right that she is with me right now and one of the first people I told about the baby.

We get to the airport and we walk in together. I check in quickly and we head over to the departure area. I look at my sister.

"If Wonho comes looking for you I'm telling him where you are. Just saying." Jisoo tell me. I smile at her.

"I wouldn't expect anything else from you." I reply. She grins.

"You be careful and come back right away if it doesn't go well." She says and then wraps her arms around me.

"I will. I love you, Jisoo. I'll be back very soon!" I say.

"I love you too." After she says this I turn around and start heading to the plane. I turn around once and wave at her. I board the plane and find my seat. I get settled for the trip and wait for the plane to take off.

*14 hours later*

The plane lands safely and I get off. I walk through the Indiana airport. As soon as I walk outside everything comes back to me even though it's been years since I was here. I get a taxi and tell them where to go. I watch out the window as we pass familiar scenery. It certainly feels weird to be back here.

As my old house comes into view I forget how to breathe. Its the same as it was when I lived there. I get out of the taxi and stand in front of the house staring at it. All the bad memories here come rushing at me all at once, but I push them all away. It could be different now. I walk up to the front door and knock. I never thought I would actually be back here. It doesn't take long before the door opens and the women who used to be my mother, Karen, comes into view. She looks at me and her eyes go wide.

"Tabby? What are you doing here?" She asks me and then looks me up and down. I notice she stops at my stomach and looks at it for a few seconds.

"I just wanted to come visit." I simply reply.

"I see you're starting a family." She points out.

"Something like that, yeah." I say. She backs up from the doorway.

"Well come in." She says. I do as she says and walk into the house. She walks past me into the living room. "Hun, you'll never guess who's here." She says to my used to be father, Dave. I walk into the living room after her and he looks up from the couch at me.

"Why are you here?" He asks. No hi or anything, but what did I expect? These are the people who let me go. They don't actually care about me.

"Just visiting." I reply.

"She's pregnant, hun." Karen points out to Dave. He looks down at my stomach and then back to my face.

"So, you're married?" He asks me. The question takes me off guard and I look down at my hands.

"Well no, we've never talked about that." I say.

"You're not even married to this dude and you're having a baby with him?" Dave asks and glances at Karen. I almost roll my eyes. Oh boy. Why exactly did I come back here?

 Why exactly did I come back here?
