~Mia~

I sat in the car like a total idiot, engine off, hands still gripping the wheel even though we weren't moving anymore, staring at Kacy's front door while Rowan knocked again, louder this time, and my stomach flipped so hard I thought I might actually throw up right there on the dashboard. What the hell was I doing? I'd dragged him all the way out here on some half-baked revenge fantasy, hoping he'd walk in on Liv and Kacy mid-makeout or whatever, get jealous, storm out, and somehow end up

    Liv I held onto his shirt tight and I half laughed through the first real contraction that felt like my insides were twisting up. “They always do Kacy. Always pick her. But you know what. Screw them. You are carrying me like some hero from a movie and I am dripping everywhere. At least the universe gave me one good thing today.”He got me buckled in the car and started it up and we drove off while I could hear sirens somewhere far away for Ava happy ending. I kept talking the whole way words just spilling out between the breaths because the pain was getting stronger and I could not keep my mouth shut. “ I hate them I really do but I would never wish Cole gone or anything. That is Ava level crazy and I am not like her. I am just me. The one they always leave behind. Again. But you are here. You are always here.”Kacy squeezed my hand at every red light and he said and I am staying. “Breathe Liv. In and out. We are almost there.”The hospital turned into a blur after we got there. Nurs

    LivI stood there in my doorway with my huge belly sticking out like it had a mind of its own and I just stared at the whole mess on my porch. Ava was shoving her way past me yelling about how I stole Cole and how it had to be payback for everything that happened before. Caleb kept yanking her arm back like he was the only one trying to keep things from blowing up completely. Then Mom and Dad pulled up in their car and jumped out looking all worried and ready to jump into the middle of it like they always did when Ava needed them. My twin, my ex and my parents who turned on me the second things got hard were right here now begging for help finding their son. I hated every single one of them deep down in my gut but I swear I would never wish anything bad on them, not even this kind of hurt.You stole him, Ava screamed right in my face with her eyes all red and swollen from all the crying. I know it is you Liv payback for what I did to you admit it right now.I put my hands on my hips

    Joyce The lady picked up all professional and bored, “Crimestoppers hotline, what’s your tip?” and I jumped right in cutting her off because who has time for small talk, “Listen up, no names, no questions the baby boy kidnapped from the park earlier, the one everyone’s crying about on the news? He’s sitting in a carrier on the bench in the vacant lot behind the station on Fifth, go get him now before I change my mind and he’s gone forever.” She tried interrupting, all “Ma’am, can you stay on the line and give more details?” but I laughed right over her, rude as hell, “No details, lady, just send a car, and tell the parents it’s a free gift, no ransom needed anymore click.” Hung up before she could say another word, tossed the phone out the window into a dumpster because bye-bye evidence, and then I waited, engine off, slouched low in the seat watching the lot through the rearview like some paranoid ex-girlfriend which, okay, fair.Sirens started up quiet at first, no lights at first

    Joyce I couldn’t stop grinning like an idiot even though my hands were shaking so bad I almost dropped the phone twice, because after everything, after rotting in that cell for months thinking about Caleb every single damn day and how Ava stole him from me like she owned the world, I finally had the upper hand and nobody, not even that smug therapist version of me from before, saw this coming. I mean, I escaped that place by hiding in the laundry cart like some bad movie plot but guess what, those guards were too busy arguing about football scores to notice the extra bag rolling out the side gate, and once I was free I didn’t waste a second, I went straight for the park because I’d been watching them for weeks from my burner phone pictures, waiting for the exact moment Ava would turn her back like the careless idiot she is. One second, two seconds, that’s all it took I scooped up little Cole while she was digging in the diaper bag for some stupid toy and I was gone before she

    Ava "Sure you will," I said, but I let it drop. We ate in silence, him flipping channels, me stealing glances. It wasn't perfect, but it was something.By eight months, though? Torture. I couldn't sleep, couldn't breathe right, and Caleb's "trying" meant he'd cook eggs sometimes burnt, of course or ask about my day like a script. "How was it?" he'd say, not looking up from his laptop."Boring as hell," I'd snap. "Sat around, watched my feet inflate. Thrilling."He'd chuckle half-heartedly. "Want ice cream?""Always," I'd say, and he'd get it, but it felt like pity.One day, I had a check-up alone because he "had work." Sat in that sterile room, legs dangling, and the doc did the ultrasound. "It's a boy," she said, all cheery. But then her face changed. "But, uh, there are some concerns. Heart rate's off, fluid levels low. He might be sick, and may need NICU time after birth. We'll monitor."I froze. "Sick? Like how sick?""Could be chronic issues, respiratory to go below. We'll see."

    Ava I stood in the kitchen, my back killing me from this stupid pregnancy weight, and Caleb just walked in like nothing, tossing his keys on the counter with that thud that always grated on my nerves. It had been weeks since that whole mess with Liv and the poisoning, yeah, the one where I tried to fix things my way and it blew up in everyone's faces. Caleb had been all smiles and warming up before that, like maybe we could fake this marriage into something real, but now? Cold as ice. He'd do the bare minimum to hold my hand at doctor's appointments if someone was watching, pat my belly like it was a dog he didn't really like wbut at home, nada. Zilch. And today, I was done pretending."You're home early," I said, not even turning around, stirring whatever slop I was trying to call dinner because cooking was the only thing keeping me from screaming.He grunted, opened the fridge, grabbed a beer. Pop. Fizz. "Meeting got canceled.""Oh, wow, lucky me," I muttered, "Thought you'd be ou

    ~Liv~The car hadn’t even rolled to a full stop outside the building when the back door flew open and Zoe yanked me out by my arm like she was extracting me from a burning vehicle.“Move, move, move, get inside before some creep with a phone spots you,” she hissed, slamming the Uber door so hard th

    ~Liv~ I dragged myself out of Mia’s apartment at six-thirty the next morning because if I stayed on that couch one more second I was gonna start screaming and never stop. My head still felt like someone had used it for puck practice, but I needed air, needed movement, needed something that wasn’t

    ~Liv~I couldn’t move at first, just stood there half-hidden by the door like some pathetic ghost watching my own funeral on the jumbotron.Rowan leaned in, all stiff and careful, like he was checking a box, lips barely brushing hers for half a second, clinical as hell, no hands, no heat, nothing.

    ~Liv~I wiped my nose on the back of my hand after grabbing the tissue, because who cares about manners at this point, and mumbled something that was probably supposed to be thanks but came out more like a croak. The guy stayed crouched for a second, then straightened up and just kind of plopped do
