Chapter Fourteen

Beauty is the gift from God. Aristotle

Weeks passed and Kacie hadn’t seen or heard from Deacon. She hadn’t been at Cummings Street Church since the installation service. She couldn’t trust what she would do when seeing Deacon in his newly appointed capacity.

Kacie met her doctor’s appointment before it was time for her to report to work. She only had to work a five hour shift today. The kids were at school, which made the day even more perfect. Now that Keshena was one year old, according to the Department of Human Services, she could go to daycare.

When she was called back to the patient area, the doctor performed an ultrasound.

“Your baby is growing. A big baby too.” The heavy accent of the nurse practitioner was barely understandable.

Kacie took her time replying. “All of my children were big babies when they were born,” she said nonchalantly. The practitioner’s mouth turned slightly upward. Kacie remained expressionless. She removed the remaining gel from Kacie’s growing belly.

“Do you want an ultrasound picture of your baby?” the doctor asked.

“Yes,” answered Kacie with a show of happiness on her face for the first time since she’d been in the room.

“You must take vitamins to build your iron.” The doctor wrote her a prescription.

“Is the expected delivery date still the same?” Kacie asked as she removed her legs from the stirrups and sat back on the table.

“Yes; middle of May. Maybe early. Maybe a little later. All up to the baby.” The doctor laughed. “But I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that.”

“No, I’m aware that they come when they want to, and not a minute before.”

Kacie left the doctor’s office and pinned the ultrasound picture at the top of her sun visor. Deacon, things will change when you see your child. Of all days, when she arrived at work, she found the store was busier than it had been in a long time. But she still kept thinking about Deacon’s stinging words. Here she was, pregnant by a married man.

Envy recalled that Kenny’s daddy was married when they messed around too, but at least she’d known it from the beginning because he was straight up with her. But Deacon…Deacon had purposely deceived her. She was going to do some investigating. She would find where he lived somehow, someway. He didn’t know who he was messing with, but Deacon Riggs was definitely going to find out. If he thought he was just going to disappear out on her and their child’s life, then he was in for a rude awakening. Not this time. This baby’s daddy was going to pay, and pay handsomely.

Kacie not only had plans to find where Deacon lived, but she was going to tell Mrs. Martha Riggs that she and Deacon and were madly in love. Deacon may have refused to accept the fact she was having his baby, but she wanted to hear for herself how Mrs. Riggs would feel once she told her.

Envy, much to Kacie’s surprise, came inside the store.
