“Beauty is the gift from God.” Aristotle

Weeks passed and Kacie hadn’t seen or heard from Deacon. She hadn’t been to church since the installation service. She couldn’t trust what she would do if she saw Deacon serving in his newly appointed capacity.

Kacie met her doctor’s appointment before it was time for her to report to work. She only had to work a five-hour shift today. The kids were at school, which made the day even more perfect. Now that Keshena was one year old, according to the Department of Human Services she could go to daycare.

When she was called back to the patient area where the doctor performed an ultrasound.

“Your baby is growing. A big baby too.” The heavy accent of the nurse practitioner made her difficult to understand.

Kacie took her time replying. “All of my children were big babies when they were born,” she said nonchalantly.

The practitioner’s mouth turned slightly upward. He wiped all remaining gel from Kacie’s protruding belly.

“Do you want the image of your baby?” the practitioner asked.

“Yes,” answered Kacie with a show of happiness on her face for the first time since she’d been in the room.

“You must take vitamins because of low iron,” he explained.

“Is the expected delivery date still the same?” Kacie asked as she removed her legs from the stirrups and sat back on the table.”

“Yes, middle of May. Sometimes come early. Sometimes late. Up to baby.” The doctor laughed.

Kacie left the doctor’s office and pinned the ultrasound picture on the top of her sun visor. Deacon, things will change when you see your child.

Of all days, when she arrived at work, the store was busier than it had been in a long time. But she still kept thinking about Deacon’s stinging words. Here she was, pregnant by a married man.

Kassandra’s daddy was married when they messed around too, but at least she’d known it from the beginning, because he was straight up with her. But Deacon, Deacon had purposely deceived her. She was going to do some investigating. She would find where he lived somehow, someway. He didn’t know who he was messing with, but Deacon Riggs was going to find out.

She spoke aloud to herself, “If he thinks he’s just going to disappear out of me and our child’s life, then he’s in for a rude awakening. Not this time. This baby’s daddy is going to pay, and pay handsomely.”

Kacie not only had plans to find where Deacon lived, but she was going to tell Martha Riggs that she and Deacon were in love. Deacon may have refused to accept the fact she was having his baby, but she wanted to hear for herself how his wife would feel once she told her.

Envy, much to Kacie’s surprise, came inside the store. Kacie was rearranging stock on one of the aisles when Envy saw her. “How are you, girl?” she asked when she noticed Kacie.

“What are you doing here?”

“I need some panty liners, so I thought I’d run in here on my way to the office.
