FIVE

Michelle's Pov_

"How could you say that Shawn!? This is your child we're talking about here!"

"So? I already told you that I don't want this baby so just get rid of it and end everything, I'm not going to take responsibility for anything, if you need money then I'll give you money, how much money do you want huh? How much money do you want to get rid of that thing in your belly?"

I couldn't hold it back any longer and so I slapped him twice. "Had I know you were this kind of person, then I wouldn't have started a relationship with you in the first place, damn the stupid mate bond!"

"Do you think money is the solution to everything!? No amount of money is worth the life of this baby! So don't you ever dare to say that to me again."

"You're nothing but a selfish man Shawn, you only care about yourself and nothing else. I hate you so much and I regret ever meeting you!"

"You want nothing to do with us right? Fine then, no problem, I'll raise this child alone, I'll raise my baby alone and I hope that a day will come when you'll look back on this day and regret your actions today. I curse the day we met, I hate you so much." I said with tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Just don't ever come back into our lives, my child deserves better and not a father like you!" I spat.

"Have a good life Shawn, I hope to never see you again, you can live your damn life in peace because you'll never hear from us again!'' I said before storming out of there in tears.

On my way home I made a promise to myself never to give up on my child, I'll work so hard and raise this baby, I'm going to make sure my baby has the best life and won't ever feel unwanted.

I got home to meet Mirabel waiting for me. I explained everything to her and she was so furious.

"I'll go talk to him right now, how dare he do that to you both!? How dare he ask you to kill the baby!" She made to leave but I held her back.

I didn't even have the energy to cry and I promised myself to no longer shed any tears because of Shawn, he isn't worth it.

"Just let it be Mira, he already made up his mind and wants nothing to do with us. I guess this is in fact a good thing, Shawn isn't worthy of being a father and this child deserves better, I won't ever bother him again, he's free of us now and free to live his life."

"Oh Michelle, I'm really sorry you have to go through all of this, you don't deserve any of this at all."

"It's alright, from now on, I'm going to try to forget everything about Shawn and move on with my life, right now, all that matters to me is my baby and nothing else." I replied with a weak smile.

"And don't ever forget that I'm going to be with you through all this, we've got this and since I'm the baby's aunt, I also need to work hard so I can spoil the little angel." She said and we both burst into laughter.

"Thinking about all the things I want to do for the baby is making me excited already and I can't wait for this baby to get here. Have you thought about a name yet?" She asked eagerly and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Come on Mira, I only just found out and I haven't thought that far either." I chuckled.

Mirabel who was literally bubbling with excitement began giving me a list of names for both boys and girls.

My life can still be perfect without Shawn in it, I've at least got one person who's always going to be there for me and loves me dearly.

Yes, this is all enough for me.

With the assistance of Mirabel, I was able to register for an ante-natal procedure at a good hospital and it was during one of my visits that I met him. Dr. Derek Silvermoon, my werewolf gynecologist.

Surprisingly, I didn't know him, but he recognized me as Shawn's girlfriend. I told him that I and Shawn already separated but we didn't make our separation public, which is why everyone still believes that we're together.

Derek promised to keep my secret and after that day, we started getting close and I began looking forward to every one of my meetings with him.

I took solace in Derek's company and tried to ignore the longing in my heart for Shawn and in a moment of vulnerability, I told Derek the full story of what had transpired between me and Shawn.

Derek was very supportive and never failed to tell me that I'm enough, he became a shoulder for me to lean on and helped me get rid of all my insecurities.

He treated me with so much love and respect that my heart slowly began opening up for him. I get excited each time we meet and my heart will always race each time he's close to me.

But I told myself to get rid of all this feeling, I never want to experience the kind of pain I had experienced during my time with Shawn. I just want it to be me and my baby.

I began to distance myself a little from Derek and when he noticed this, he confronted me, but I managed to come up with a lie which he believed.

And after that, we got back to how we used to be and I had thought I had things under control, I had thought that I was able to control my emotions and it wasn't so bad to get close to Derek, not until that day.

The day I kissed Derek!
