‘Destroy it?’

Mabel was sitting in her mother’s office a few days later with the company lawyer, Malcolm Browning. Joanna looked stunned, then said it again. ‘Destroy the sperm?’

‘That’s the only thing to stop her from taking you to court. This woman is intent on getting legal rights over the specimen,’ continued Malcolm, crossing his legs. He was tall and skinny but looked rich. He should be considering how much the company paid him. ‘Unless you want to have another baby, Mabel?’

She didn’t know what to say.

All she did was look at the floor and wonder why Wes would do this to her.

‘I have to think,’ she replied.

Her mother’s face was etched with concern.

‘Thank you, Malcolm, for looking into this,’ Joanna said, standing up and escorting him out. ‘And for the paperwork regarding the new board member. Much appreciated and we’ll get in touch soon.’

Mabel didn’t know what to do.

That was the problem.

And she was unsure if she wanted another baby with Wes, dead or alive.

The next thing she felt was an arm across her shoulders while her mother peered into her face.

‘You don’t have to decide on anything,’ she whispered to her. ‘Mabel, I don’t think Wes was being fair, knowing his mother and wife would want a say. He should have destroyed it at the time. Did he ever tell you he wanted more children after having his last one?’

‘I didn’t speak to him about it, given the handful of conversations we had before he died.’ Mabel gulped hard. ‘I don’t know what to do.’

‘What did he say to you in the letter?’

Looking at her mother, she reached over into her bag and pulled the letter out.

‘He wrote it by hand,’ Mabel said looking at it.

‘Read it for me, darling.’

Looking at the letter, she took a deep breath.

‘Mabel, I am sorry for everything. I want you to have my frozen sample so you can use if you one day decide to have another baby. You might not want to, and then please make sure it is destroyed. Look after my girls for me. They are like you, beautiful and kind. I love you, and always will. Wes.’

Holding the paper between her fingers she didn’t realise her mother was crying.

‘That’s so beautiful,’ she gulped, wiping her tears away.

‘No, it’s not.’

There was a knock on the door.

It was Alex.

‘Am I disturbing?’ he asked, frowning heavily when looking at them. ‘I can come back.’

‘No, that’s fine,’ Mabel said, jumping to her feet as Joanna grabbed her hand.

‘Destroy it,’ her mother whispered.

‘Tafari will sit on me regardless,’ she replied, picking up her case. ‘I have to work.’

Keeping her eyes down, and remembering what Jess told her, Mabel walked past Alex and went to her office. She knew her presence was needed at a meeting in five minutes, so dumped her case, and took out her laptop before heading off to get a coffee.

As she walked to the meeting room, cup in hand, she noticed Alex was watching her from down the corridor.
