I called Peter from the car on my way back and told him I was coming back. He was so happy, he told me and he was going to stay awake to wait for me. I kissed him when he opened the door and threw myself in his arms.

"I'm so sorry," I said. "I'm so sorry for everything."

Peter chuckled and stroked my cheek. "It's okay, Rebekka. I’m beginning to get how important your job is to you."

I smiled and kissed him again, wondering for one insane second if he could taste Sune on my lips. Could he taste that I had kissed someone else?

We went inside and up to bed where Peter wanted to have sex, but I told him I was way too tired. He looked disappointedly at me.

"Tomorrow, Peter. Today I'm beat after a long day. I just want to go to sleep."

Peter kissed my nose and turned around to go to sleep. I lay a long time with my eyes open, staring into the old, hand-carved, wooden ceiling, and feeling like the worst person on earth. I had been lying to Peter. I wasn't too beat to have sex. The fact was I didn't want to. I hadn't felt attracted to him.

Probably just because you're so damn confused.

I closed my eyes and forced myself to think about something else and finally, after half an hour or so, I fell into a heavy sleep.

"Mommy! Mommy! You're back." Julie woke me up the next morning jumping into our bed with a shriek. I grabbed her and hugged her for a long time. "What do you want to do today?" she asked.

"I want to do anything you want," I said and looked into her eyes.

"Let's play hide and seek," she said.

"Okay. After breakfast."

"Do you want to play too, Daddy?" Julie said.

"I guess I could play a little," he answered.

"How's the painting going?" I asked. I looked at my family and felt suddenly overwhelmed with gratefulness. To think I had almost thrown all of that away again.

"Not progressing as fast as I'd like it to," Peter said. "But, alright I guess."

"Let's go," Julie yelled and jumped down from the bed.

"I'll take a shower first," I said. "Be right down."

I walked into the bathroom, when suddenly I felt incredibly nauseated. It was overpowering and I had to sit down on the bathroom floor.

It's gotta be stress, I thought to myself.

I undressed and looked at myself in the mirror. Had my breasts grown? They had been very sore lately and now I could hardly touch them. Another wave of nausea flushed over me and I barely made it to the toilet before I threw up.

It was when I lifted my head and spotted the box of Tampax on the shelf that the penny finally dropped.

Could it be? Could I be? No. No. No.

I went through the stuff in my toilet bag, knowing I had hidden a pregnancy test somewhere in it from back when I was with Sune. I had used one of these a month, only to disappoint him with the results.
