Alexander pointed. Luna stood in the middle of the room, wobbling slightly, ten feet from the couch.
"She let go," he said, voice shaking. "And she's just... standing there."

Pregnant By My Ex-Boyfriend's Father CHAPTER 152: First Month
July passed slowly. Painfully.Every day, Evie asked for Marcus. Every day, I explained."Dada's in Boston. Working. He'll call tonight."Every night, they FaceTimed. Evie's face lit up seeing him."Dada! I miss you!""I miss you too, baby girl! What did you do today?"Simple conversations. Toddler updates. Temporary connection.Then the call ended. And she cried.Every single night. She cried when he hung up."I want dada HERE. Not on the computer."I couldn't fix it. Couldn't give her what she needed.Just held her. Comforted her.

Is dada leaving today?""Yes, baby girl. Today.""I don't want dada to leave.""I know. But dada has to. For work."She climbed into my lap. Clung to me.Two years old. Smart enough to understand leaving. Too young to understand why.Or how long two years really was.---Breakfast was quiet. Tense.Marcus barely ate. Nervous. Anxious.Evie pushed her food around. Watching him."Dada, can I come to Boston?""Not today, baby girl. But you'll visit. Soon.""When?""In a few weeks. Mama will bring you.""Promise?""Promise."I didn't confirm. Didn't commit.

I threw up twice before I even left the penthouse.Morning sickness, Dr. Roberts had said, was actually a misnomer. It could happen any time of day. And apparently, for me, it happened most when I was stressed.Today, I was very stressed."Are you sure you're ready for this?"
