Aria

A year later.

“Haley, I’m leaving,” I call over my shoulder. “Is everything okay?”

My babysitter appears with little Tommy in her arms.

“Everything’s going to be fine, Aria. Tommy and I will be happy and good while you’re gone, won’t we Tommy? Say bye-bye to Mommy.”

But I can’t resist and rush to my baby one last time, pressing kisses to his brown curls. He looks up at me with big blue eyes, innocent and round while waving a small fist in my direction.

“Gah,” he says. “Goo-gah.”

I laugh at the little tyrant.

“Mommy will be back soon, I promise Tommy. Mommy loves you,” I say before giving him one last kiss and disappearing through the door.

After all, I can’t put off life forever. Strange things happen, but you have to roll with the punches and do the best you can no matter what.

A year ago, I never would have guessed that I would be in this position. Back then, I was a college junior engaged in the hottest relationship I’d ever been in. Okay, it was the only relationship I’d ever been in, but it was with a gorgeous, handsome, charming man who swept me off my feet. Roland Moore was my English professor, but he was more than that. He was witty, kind, and made me feel so good inside and out. I felt safe in his arms, as if all my problems were over.

But that was only the beginning because after a month of dating, I fell pregnant. I didn’t even know it at first. I missed my period, but it was no big deal because I’ve never been regular. Then I forgot to look out for my second missed period, and by the time my third missed period came into view, he’d gotten that terrible letter from the university. Roland was being investigated for lifting someone else’s work, and he was going to be grilled by a panel of lawyers, professors, staff, and university management. It was bound to be awful.

I didn’t want to add to my lover’s misery, and the truth is that it wouldn’t have been right. After all, what we were doing was absolutely taboo. He’s an older professor, and I’m a student in his class. He has direct control over my grades, and not only that, but he’d given me A’s on my last two papers. I deserved the good grades because of my hard work and in-depth research, but I knew it wouldn’t appear that way to the investigators. They would uncover our secrets, and allege that our relationship was just another breach of the university’s Code of Conduct.

So I disappeared from Roland’s life. I withdrew from school and sent him a two line email saying goodbye without explaining anything. Then I shut off my phone and moved home to have my baby. My parents weren’t thrilled at this turn of events, but what could they do? Their daughter was pregnant and there was no turning back the clock.

But they supported my decision to keep the baby, and after Tommy was born, they were over the moon with joy.
