Chapter 19

When Dylan opened her eyes, the world outside her window was dark. She didn’t know how long she had slept, but it hadn’t been enough. What had woken her, she didn’t know, but maybe it had something to do with the odd pain in her breasts?

Looking at the machine beside her, she remembered she had the baby, but the delivery hadn’t gone as planned. And somehow, she had agreed to stay with Holden and help with the baby for a week, possibly more.

Sitting up a little, she looked around the room, noticing Holden was still there. His head was flopped to the side as his body slumped in an uncomfortable chair, sound asleep. As far as she could tell, the baby wasn’t in the room.

Tim… He was named Tim. That was what she had been calling the little thing since the first moment she knew about him. Trust in me, she had promised him, telling him that she would take care of him until she could hand him off. It was supposed to be without them meeting again. A social worker was supposed to take him away and give him to Holden. He wasn’t supposed to be there when she woke up from surgery.

Or sitting in the chair beside her bed, sleeping.

She didn’t know what he was planning, but he was planning something. When he didn’t yell, shout, or ask questions, she knew he was romancing her, or whatever it was considered now.

“Tim was getting a little hungry.” A nurse came in, carrying the bundle in her arms.

Handing him off, she proceeded to leave the room immediately, like she had done this more than once before. Don’t they know that this was nothing she had ever even thought about?

As Holden said, Tim knew. Within moments, his lips clamped down on her nipple as if he had been starving. In the dark silence of the room, he made little sounds as he ate. His dark hair was soft against her hand, resembling her hair. At first, she had thought he looked just like Holden, but now she could see herself in him. Her hair, her nose, maybe even her eyes one day.

Maybe he looked just like her, but she had no baby pictures of herself, so she would never know. It was the first time since she walked away from her life that she wanted to know more about herself. Had she been a good baby? A naughty toddler? When was the first time her mom thought she was lacking? How old was she the first time her father hit her?

When was she going to turn into the monster that was
