Chantell

She wasn’t sure how she’d gotten to this point. It took less than one week for her to break and let him back in. So goddamn weak. Especially when it came to Tanner.

As she stood in front of him wearing only her underwear, her breasts bared to his gaze, Chantell ran a hand through the soft strands of his hair. Her love for him is the one thing she couldn’t seem to get over. No matter how much she wanted to walk away from him, she couldn’t seem to do it.

“Our baby,” he whispered softly against her stomach.

Tears welled in her eyes as she watched him. Maybe she’d been unfair to him. “I’m glad you’re happy about the baby. I wasn’t sure what you’d think. I know our relationship isn’t normal.”

Tanner shook his head before looking up at her. “Our normal doesn’t have to be someone else’s normal.” Dipping his head, she heard him take a deep inhale. “Sweetheart, we have to get beyond this. We can get beyond this. I need you to believe me. To trust me.”

In all honesty, trusting Tanner had never been an issue. It was trusting herself. Somewhere along the way, she’d lost herself. Her entire life revolved around the man sitting on the bed in front of her. When she’d found out she was pregnant, she’d cried for days. Luckily, he’d been on a business trip, so there was no risk of him seeing her like that.

She was ashamed to admit it, but she’d considered her option to end the pregnancy. Having a child amid this fucked up situation was the last thing she’d wanted to do. But as soon as the thought truly formed in her head, she’d dismissed it.

Not only did she want her baby, but she also wanted to have Tanner’s baby. No matter their situation, their little baby bean had been made with love. A love that spanned almost two decades. There was no way in hell she was going to get rid of their child.

That’s also when she realized that things had to change. No longer did she have the luxury of living for herself anymore. Chantell could no longer be selfish and think of only her needs, her desires.

Having a child would change everything. Although she loved Tanner with everything she was and ever would be, she was no longer willing to live this half-life. He either had to be all in, or he had to let her go. There could be no other option.

“Tanner, I do trust you. Hell, I’ve trusted you for over half my life. But can you blame me for how I felt?” She tried to pull out of his arms, but his hold tightened.

“Stop pulling away from me. Physically and emotionally,” he barked.

“I’m still mad at you,” she mumbled.

“Then get glad real fucking quick.” He stood quickly, coming to his full height, his arms wrapped around her waist. “I’m not saying you don’t have a right to be upset. I know what the fuck I’ve asked of you, okay? I get it.
