Once the tree was decorated to the satisfaction of Melanie and Jordan, attention turned to the supper that they planned to have. Rebecca and Melanie had put together a stew in a couple of crockpots earlier that day. The aroma of it drifted through the house and made Rebecca’s stomach rumble. With many people to help, it didn’t take long to get the meal on the table. The familiarity of sitting at the table with these people wasn’t something Rebecca wanted to get used to but it was hard not to. Her and Jordan’s presence at the table with this group of people seemed natural. Even normal. And the thought crossed her mind that this was how it should be.

But the only way it could ever be that way was if things changed between her and Alex. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as simple as picking up where they left off. Too much had changed since they were first married. Alex was a stranger to her, even though she was getting to know him a little bit more just by virtue of having to spend time with him. But at the very bottom of it all was a need that could not be ignored. And that was her need to be able to trust him.

Unfortunately, his response to the news that she was pregnant was deeply embedded in her mind. At a time when she had needed him the most, he hadn’t been there for her. He should’ve known that abortion was not an option for her, and it shouldn’t have been an option for him. The moment he had presented that to her, Rebecca had felt like she hadn’t known him at all. Though they hadn’t talked at length about having a family, it was something that they had agreed on. So his reaction to her news had taken her completely off guard.

Hearing him explain to Jordan why he had said what he did had been an eye-opening experience. It brought clarity to her now, but Rebecca wasn’t sure that it would’ve made any difference back then. Over the years, as she’d matured, she’d come to understand that things were rarely black or white. That experiences could influence people in ways she never imagined. Back then, even if Alex had tried to explain to her his reasoning, Rebecca was sure that all she would’ve seen was that Alex was rejecting their baby.

Unfortunately, understanding what had been in Alex’s mind back then really had no relevance now. He was a different man than he had been fifteen years ago. No doubt faced with the same scenario now, Alex’s reaction would be much different. She sensed that he had somehow developed the ability to separate his work from his personal life.

Thinking of his personal life, Rebecca wondered if he’d had any relationships over the years. Obviously, he couldn’t get married, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t get involved with someone. She glanced across the table to where he sat between Ryan and Adrianne. He was attractive in a more mature way than he had been at nineteen.
