CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Alison

Alison checked her phone again; no new messages. But this time she shoved it into the desk drawer. She was aware that she’d looked at it way too many times today. It’d been about a day since Kaden had last messaged her. Just because she never answered him, didn’t mean she wasn’t thrilled that he was checking on her.

He continued to claim that he missed her, and that’s what she needed to hear. She just wasn’t sure how to respond. After he suggested they do this as a family and make it work, she wasn’t sure what to think. Did he want to be with her, or had he suggested it just because she was pregnant with his baby? She wanted him to want her. Not just do the right thing.

“Just call him.” Hailee groaned from behind her. “You know you want to. Trust me, even I know that you want to.”

Deep down, Alison did. But wanting to and letting herself were two very different things. She wouldn’t chase him. She ran her hand over the gentle swell of her belly. She didn’t think it wasn’t an obvious bump, especially if she wore the right shirts. I miss him so much. I just want him to want us, not just go through the motions. Her heart ached. It isn’t worth getting upset over. She had more important things to worry about. Like taking care of this little one.

“Ali, I know both of you well enough to know that you’re meant to be together. You need to stop pushing him away, and he needs to step up. I know, how about we go to the game tonight? Dom can get us seats. It’ll be fun. We won’t even have to sit in the family box with the other WAGS. He can get us seats in the crowd.”

“Oh, I don’t know…” Going to the arena to watch Kaden was not her idea of a good time right now. In case he decided the family life wasn’t for him, she needed to be okay without him. Unfortunately, Hailee didn’t think the same as her.

“Give me one good reason why.”

“I have to teach—”

“Ali, I know that you don’t have any lessons tonight. Try again,” Hailee countered with a smug expression.

“I… I don’t feel very good.” She stuttered and held her hand on her belly.

“It’s called being knocked up. Got any more?”

Alison scowled at her friend but gave a little laugh. Seeing Kaden would be a slippery slope. Seeing him again would bring back all the feelings she’d tucked down deep in order to prepare to raise this baby on her own. Part of her wanted to jump at this opportunity. She did miss him. When I finally am face to face with him, it will have been planned. Like at Hailee’s wedding.

“C’mon. It’ll be fun.” Hailee pushed.

Heat filled Alison’s face, and her head began to feel dizzy. This is why I don’t answer his messages. I want to believe him so badly. But I know how bad it will hurt if he leaves just like my dad did.
