Becca stared blankly at herself in the bathroom mirror. Despite her reflection seeming calm and collected, there was a quick-growing turmoil rising up inside her. It was paired with a nauseated feeling, mixed with a little bit of dread as well.

She had not considered her overly emotional and edgy state as being out of character or strange for her. A lot had happened the past few weeks, and it was enough to send any normal person into a state of emotional disarray.

Becca took a deep breath and counted in her head. It had been over two minutes, and she scraped her courage together and glanced down.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she noticed the two blue lines appear before her eyes, and she gasped loudly. Never in her life had she thought she would feel as terrified as she did in that very moment.

She was pregnant. And Dax was the father.

A million questions suddenly popped up inside her mind. Would she be able to do this? What would Dax have to say about this? Would he be happy? What if he wouldn’t be? What if he left? Or worse? What if he was not ready to have a baby? Was she ready to have a baby? Should she tell him? He did have a right to know.

Worry started to fill up inside her, and Becca wasn’t so sure whether she wanted Dax to know about the baby. She didn’t want her child—their child—to grow up the way he had, thinking that he was indestructible and untouchable. She wanted her child to be raised in kindness and love, not the materialistic world Dax was used to. She wasn’t even sure if she wanted Dax to be in the child’s life, because Dax wasn’t exactly the kind of man who would know how to raise one.

Fuck, I don’t even know how to raise a child, she thought. All she knew was that she had to tell someone; someone she could trust completely, and there was only one person who fit that description.

Still, she could not stop thinking about Dax, and whether or not she should tell him. He had every right to know—it was his child, after all—but Becca was not convinced. It took much more than being a child’s biological father to be a dad, and between Dax’s reckless behavior and the fact that there was a chance that he might hurt her, albeit unintentionally, she couldn’t tell him.

The only thing she could do was disappear. Leave Vancouver, change her name, and start over. For her child.

For her.

It wouldn’t be easy, as merely thinking about it caused her heart to ache in her narrow chest, but she had to do it. She wanted Dax, with all her heart and all her being, but she couldn’t just think of herself any longer. She had to do what was best for her unborn child.

Becca left the bathroom, the pregnancy test still laying in the bathroom sink, and grabbed her phone from the coffee table in the living area.
