I woke up this morning with a start. The morning sunlight streamed in from the curtains I forgot to draw together. Something heavy was on my stomach, and I groaned, wondering what that was. Harper snored lightly beside me. It turned out that it was her leg sprawled against my stomach.

I let out a small curse and flung it away, muttering something about wanting to kill my unborn child. I got up with a groan. I adjusted the curtains so the sunlight wouldn't affect Harper, who was still sleeping.

    ZOE’s POVI was caught off guard by his sudden question but soon recovered quickly. He still didn't understand what I'd been trying to say."Look...you can't just tell me to pack up and move in with you just because I'm pregnant with your child. I have my life to live, my job, my daughter… I can't leave all that for a stranger I barely know. What do you even know about me that made you decide on that?" I poured out my frustration on him because I was beginning to feel irritated with how things were going."But if you move in, things would be easier, and you'd be more protected. I'm doing all this for you and our baby. Just try to understand me," he said, sounding just a bit desperate, making me all the more confused and annoyed."What we have isn't even defined, and you expect me to live with you? Is there something else I should know? I have done just fine on my own. So, no! Thank you, but I'm definitely not moving in with you."He looked hurt by what I’d said, but I guess that's the

    HUGH's POVMy phone rang, and I moved away from the window, dropped my cup of coffee, and went to pick it up. I glanced at my watch.6:23 amOnly one person would call by this time.I reached for my phone and picked up the call.“What do you want now?” I asked, not wanting to waste time.“C’mon, Dad, you don't have to be so blunt. I just need a few bucks from you. I got into a little problem…”“Carl, I’ve warned you not to call me anymore. How do you keep getting into trouble? If you're not going to change…”“Yo, chill! I just need a few bucks from you I don't need you to scold me or something. You gon’ send it or not?” Carl slurred.It was barely 7 in the morning, and he was already drunk. I rubbed my temple.“Did you go to rehab I paid for?” I asked.“Are you gonna send it or not?” He repeated, getting angrier.“No, I won't be sending more money, Carl. Not anymore. You need to…”The line went dead before I could finish my sentence, and I just tossed my phone aside with a sigh.Carl

    I woke up this morning with a start. The morning sunlight streamed in from the curtains I forgot to draw together. Something heavy was on my stomach, and I groaned, wondering what that was. Harper snored lightly beside me. It turned out that it was her leg sprawled against my stomach.I let out a small curse and flung it away, muttering something about wanting to kill my unborn child. I got up with a groan. I adjusted the curtains so the sunlight wouldn't affect Harper, who was still sleeping.I took my brush and headed to Noelle's room to wake her up. She yawned lazily, and I brushed her teeth while she kept talking about her baking episode with Harper yesterday.By the time I was in the kitchen making breakfast for her and Harper, Noelle was on her tab, watching cartoons. I heard a knock on the door. Furrowing my brows, I wondered who might be here at this time.I wiped my wet hands on a kitchen towel, totally forgetting I was still in my flimsy, skimpy nightwear. I went to open the

    I looked away from Hugh's car and went inside my apartment. The door closed behind me. The door closed like a wall between us.Noelle took my hand. Pulled me into the kitchen. "Mommy, come see what Harper and I made! We made cookies with chocolate chips. I put the chocolate chips in myself. I counted them all!"I smiled at her. "You did? How many did you count?"Noelle said, "I counted to twenty! Then Harper said that was enough. I think we should have used more," she whinedHarper was standing by the counter. When our eyes met, I knew she could tell something was wrong.Noelle gave me a cookie. " Mommy, try one. They are the best!"I took a bite. The cookie was sweet. I was not really tasting it because my mind was still on what Hugh said.Noelle pulled my hand. "Mommy, are you okay? You look funny."“I am, sweetheart. The cookies are great. You did a good job." I forced a smile when I noticed the small frown she had on her face."I will go get some milk! Harper said we can have milk

    ZOE'S POV I couldn't focus on work throughout the day. My mind kept going back to the conversation I had with Hugh. I tried my best not to let my emotions get in the way of my work.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept seeing Hugh's face and the seriousness behind it. And there was Lane, who oddly kept interrupting my thoughts and my mother's plea earlier.I got so distracted I didn't know when I ended up prescribing the wrong dosage for another post-op patient. The nurse gave me a strange look, and I forced myself to snap back to reality.By the time my shift ended, I was tired. Physically and emotionally. I gathered my things, changed out of my scrubs, and walked towards the hospital exit, where I'd parked. My mind was mainly on getting home to take a hot bath, and perhaps a glass of wine.I pushed open the clean glass doors and stepped outside into the cool evening air.Parked at the curb was a sleek black car that looked totally out of place in the hospital parking lot. I became s

    HUGH’S POVThe office door clicked closed behind me. Zoe sat behind her desk, trying desperately to keep her professional mask intact, but I could see she wasn't going to keep up the act for too long. Her hands trembled slightly as they rested weakly against her laptop.I didn't bother wasting time with pleasantries, moving straight to the point.“Why did you run away, Zoe?”She was taken aback, obviously not expecting me to be that straightforward. Her lips quivered as she hesitated. I thought she wasn't going to talk, but she did two seconds later.“I…what?”“You just disappeared without a trace, Zoe,” I pointed out.Her spine straightened, and she immediately went all defensive.“No, you were gone before I woke up, Hugh. I assumed that was what you wanted, that you felt like whatever we had that night was just a fling. It's a one-night stand to you, no strings attached. Of course I had to leave,” she finished off.Something in my chest twisted.“I had an emergency pack matter I had
