I roll my eyes. “What? No. I just…. I don't want him around them, it's bad for him,”

    ***~~Knox~~***“Knox,” a familiar voice calls from behind me.I whirl around.My father stands there, eyeing me like he just caught me sprouting a halo.I pocket a hand.Wondering if I have to get through another day of him rage baiting me.But he doesn't.“That's a good choice,” he points to the ring on the open box.My gaze shifts.Yeaah.I've been standing here for a while, staring at this perfect sparkly ring I picked out myself like some lovesick puppy, and wondering if I'm being too fast.It's been seven months of constant happiness.Jenaya makes me so happy, I can't even explain it.I catch myself smiling in the middle of a meeting from her texts.I no longer stay over at my clubs.

  • Her Return, His Regret    232 Not over him

    ***~~Meghan~~***Hunter asks the driver to turn up the heater as heater. Warm air washes over my skin as we drive in silence.No Music.And not once did I shift my gaze to him, my hands resting on my stomach.But I can feel his eyes on me. At some point, it becomes unsettling.I hate how uneasy it makes me feel.The drive home is quiet, but it feels louder somehow.Finally, the car pulls to a stop in front of my apartment.I reach for the door, no hesitation whatsoever. I just want to get away from him.He steps out of the car and I think I heard him call me but I don't stop walking.I shuffle to get my key out.As soon as I unlock the door, I hear him say. “Goodnight. See you tomorrow?”I roll my eyes so hard I'm surprised they don't fly out of my skull.See you tomorrow? I almost scoff out loud but I don't.I just step in, glare at him and slam the door shut.Inside, I walk further in. But halfway through, something makes me stop and turn back.The next second, I'm running to the w

    ***~~Hunter~~***I….finally found Meghan after months of searching.Her mother was right.She's here, in flesh and blood.Couldn't even explain how, but the next thing I know I was on a flight to LA.To her.And now that she's in front of me, eyes wide in shock.But—not just that.My eyes drops.Meghan is…pregnant.God.My chest clenched tight. Heart hammering in a weird rhythm.Meghan has lost weight, and I have a feeling it's because of this. I did this to her.She's been handling this all alone. She's having my child.A lump forms in my stomach.I've been a dick. I didn't even know…Okay, that's it.I don't care how long she's going to ignore me.I'm not leaving LA until we've talk things out.I'm not letting go through this phase alone again.We're expecting and I need to be here for her.A gnawing feeling overwhelms me. I was going to be a father.I can't even explain the feeling.Meghan walks off, I follow.If it's going to take a lifetime to win her back, then I'm up for it.*

And it tickles sometimes,” I say.Melissa smiles. “I'm sure he's going to be running around the entire house when he's older,”Well, yeah.Maybe not.But ever since I found out I was having a boy, it's been overwhelming.I thought I was going to be a girl mom. I spend a lot of time on Pinterest saving all the cute dress.But here we are.A boy mom.I'm sure Liam will be excited to have a younger boyfriend.When I think about this, I can't help but be sad.I miss him.

    ***~~Meghan~~***“Meghan?” “Meghan?”I blink, turning to face Melissa.Her eyes narrow. “Are you okay?”“I'm fine,” I cut in.“You don't look fine to me,” she lets out, studying me. “You're overprinting and that's not you,”Shit.I tap on the printer and pull the extra copies out.It's been over a week since I found out I'm pregnant.
