Becca

Monday morning comes far too fast. Over the weekend, I consider quitting my job half a million times before I talk myself out of it again with my stupid heart that won’t let me escape from the most uncomfortable situation I’ve encountered. And it certainly doesn’t help my resolve to quit when one of the twins comes down with a sinus infection and has to be rushed into the doctor’s office for prescription medication.

There’s no way we can get by without the money.

“So, what do you think you’re going to do?” Carrie asks as I stuff some toast into my mouth while scribbling medication instructions onto a notepad soaked in stale coffee.

“Abby is a lot better today,” I say, plonking the medicine bottle onto the kitchen counter. “Just keep giving her this for a few more days, and the infection should clear up.”

“That’s great, Becca.” Carrie leans against the wall and crosses her arms over her chest. “But I was talking about the boss problem. You know, the boss who is the father of Abby and doesn’t know.”

I close my eyes and let out a sigh that comes from the very deepest parts of my bones. “I know he needs to know, but he made it clear he thinks I’m the worst mother on this planet.”

“He was actually talking about me, remember,” she says with a pointed look.

“Carrie.” I raise my eyebrows. “That’s a technicality, and you know it.”

“Still, after the way he treated you the other night, he’s not going to shun you just because you live in this dump of an apartment,” she says. “Sounds like he’d just move you all into his billionaire penthouse. And don’t get me wrong. I’d miss you. But that’s a serious upgrade you shouldn’t turn down.”

These are the same thoughts that have been spinning through my mind all weekend. As much as his words hurt me, he was only saying them out of concern. At the time it had felt like a knife in my gut, but it’s not like I haven’t thought the very same things a million times myself. Guilt over housing the girls in such a shitty home. Worry every time I leave them, even if it is with Carrie. Concern when sirens blare outside the windows in the dead of night.

But hearing his disapproval…well, it hurt. And I didn’t want to see the look on his face when he realized his daughters are the ones living in the place he despises so much.

“I don’t feel right about being a charity case.” I take another bite of the toast and glance at the clock. Time to get going, or I’ll be late. “Especially when…well, you know.”

She raises her eyebrows. “Because you fucked in his limo? Tell him about the twins, take him up on his awesome living situation offer, and live happily ever after. Just don’t forget about me while you’re up there enjoying Central Park views.”

I nod, curling my hands into fists and pulling every ounce of courage into my soul.
