Chapter Nine

Six Months Later

Kristie pulled up into the hospital parking lot, her heart beating wildly. It felt like just yesterday that Kass had announced she was pregnant and three months along. Now here she was, about to give birth to a beautiful baby girl. Kristie had rushed over as soon as she had gotten Kass’s text that she had gone into labor.

Almost absently, Kristie found herself touching her own stomach. There was no pregnancy to be had yet. But that was to be expected since she hadn’t been living with Gray for almost six months. It made her throat close up to realize that she was probably going to see him today. There was no way that he would miss the birth of Rick’s daughter.

Gray and Kristie had been, for lack of a better word, on a break for the past six months. She had been staying at her mother’s home. It wasn’t because she didn’t love Gray or didn’t want to be with him. On the contrary, she wanted them to work out and be together.

But the night of Kass’s party, when Kristie had seen Armand, had put things into perspective that she could no longer ignore. She had stayed in that bathroom, waiting for Gray to come and retrieve her as if she was a package to be picked up. She had been trembling like a leaf in the wind. When Gray hadn’t come and she heard the Infernos shouting in restaurant, calling for Gray, Kristie had stayed hidden. Instead of going out there to make sure her pregnant friend had been okay, she had hid and cried.

After the men had left, and Gray had come to find her in the bathroom, she realized then that he was not going to change. Until Armand was dead and gone, he would be clinging to his gang to try to hold it together. Armand wouldn’t rest until he killed Gray either. Kristie was letting her own mental state suffer just to try to have a baby. No, she had realized, she needed to focus on herself.

So she had moved back home and let Gray stay in the apartment. She still felt too terrified to live alone so she had no problem moving back in with her mother. Her mom, of course, had been thrilled. All her mom had wanted was for them to divorce and was more than happy to take Kristie in.

Gray had been beside himself over Kristie moving out. She had told him that it was for the best and that this was how things would be sorted out. But Gray had withdrawn from her and their communication had been labored ever since she left. She had been hoping Gray would understand that the stress of trying for a baby on top of dealing with gang violence had been too much. Kristie wasn’t sure how he was truly feeling. He could be impossible to read sometimes.

Now, staring up at the hospital, Kristie tried to control her nervous breathing. She had been going to therapy since she had moved out of the apartment with Gray.
