Goodbye

Awkward silence fills the car the majority of the ride home. You know, the kind where everyone is barely breathing as to not be the initiator of conversation. Nobody seems to know what to say. I think it’s the pregnancy thing, but that’s just a hunch. Cayden drives like a grandpa, exaggerating the mere distance of only ten miles to what feels like a road trip to Disney. For a doctor he sure does seem careful to not break me. Most doctors I’ve met are douches, but not my sweet Cayden. I guess he has no real way of knowing that the speed he is driving is the last thing he should be worried about. The only danger in this car is the silence, making me feel captive and isolated again. Being cooped up in a single room with zero communication for the last few weeks has revived a need for some form of interaction, even if it ends up being an uncomfortable conversation about the newest surprise in my life—the baby. While I’ve been completely blindsided by the news, the thought of having a baby is somehow—comforting. The knowledge that physics and science make this entire scenario impossible does cross my mind—heavily. It leaves me wondering if I’m dreaming. I pray I’m not. That would mean I’m still trapped in the dark room. Now that I’ve tasted freedom again I never intend to let it go. Unfortunately, I’m still trapped—yet in a very different way. He is still here waiting in the shadows of my mind…now, more than ever. I don’t know what the right thing is anymore. Even if he and I were still on good terms, what does this mean for the baby? Is it even human? These are only but a few of the overbearingly heavy questions racing through my mind, questions I have no way of answering.

The image of a translucent baby keeps pushing its way into my brain, making me cringe. I push it back, for today anyway, there isn’t any room for additional thought in my head. The art of thinking clearly faded some time ago, forcing me to learn to how to avoid or alter my thoughts in a time of need—such as now. Between the baby and Dominick, I’m losing it quickly. I want him to go—I want him to stay.

“Okay, guys, it’s off the charts awkward in here. I’ve been kidnapped for a month, and now I’m pregnant. Surely someone has something to say.”

Mia takes the cue easily, as if she were waiting for me to speak first. Her face remains steady and her authoritative appearance shines through due to her tight ponytail and baby blue scrubs. She looks very professional. I only hope she doesn’t intend to shrink me. Normal conversation will do just fine.

“Now that you mention it, Syd, I actually have something to say—well, not say, but ask. Since nobody else in this car wants to do it, I guess it’ll have to be me.” Mia pauses.
