CHAPTER SEVEN

WILLOW

“Hi, Daddy.”

“What’s going on Baby, are you alright?”

“Can you come help me move tomorrow? I know it’s short notice, but...” I pause, swallowing the large lump in my throat. “I’m driving back to my place. I’m moving home.”

“What happened?”

I tell my dad everything that happened. I know he’s disappointed. He thought of James as the son he never had. He did a complete one-eighty. I think we all were surprised at what he did, but, I won’t stay with someone like that. Especially when a child is involved.

The drive home is long, about three and a half hours, so I decide to use my time to get things in order. Calling my realtor, I need to put the house on the market. It’s a beautiful two-story home, and even if it were handicap accessible, there are no bedrooms on the main floor. I price it to sell fast, I don’t care if we don’t make money on it, I just don’t want to have to worry about it. I call the bank and transfer half my savings and checking into a new account. Next on the list is to cancel all our joint credit cards. But the hardest call I have to make is to Kevin Martin attorney at law; Kaiden’s father. I can barely get through the call without sobbing, after all, I thought at one point he would be a father to me as well. Although he practices real estate law, he knows other lawyers in his practice that can take my case. I want this over and done before little peanut is born.

It’s late by the time I get into town, and I’m exhausted. I haven’t eaten since lunch with Jenny, and I’m starving. The night ahead is going to be daunting. Swinging by a local box store, they have apple boxes that I will need to pack some of my things in.

Pulling into my driveway, I stare at my beautiful house, knowing I’ll never live in it again.

Dragging in the boxes, I drop them on the kitchen floor, packing most of the kitchen, all my clothes, all the baby things, and I’ve tagged the furniture that I want to take.

It’s almost midnight when there’s a knock on my door. Who in the world would be at my door at midnight? My stomach twists, hoping it’s not Rita trying to change my mind about leaving.

Switching the porch light on, I’m surprised to see my dad standing at my door. His eyes full of love and concern. He angles his head to the side giving me a weak smile. At that moment, all I want is for my daddy to hold me and tell me that everything will be all right. I hadn’t expected him until morning. Unlocking the door, I open it to let him in, he pulls me into a big hug. It feels so good, I don’t want to let go. Opening my eyes, I see Kaiden. He steps out from behind dad.

My breath hitches as my heart skips a beat at the sight of Kaiden.
