“Alright, you’re all signed up, and your first appointment will be next week,” Dr. Alana informed as Anna nodded while fiddling with her fingers, “What will happen at the next appointment?” She nervously asked as Dr. Alana smiled, “Don’t worry, love, I’ll just be checking the baby’s heart, its position, the size, and maybe the gender,” she replied as Anna’s eyes lit up. “Really, I get to know the gender?” She asked as Dr. Alana giggled, “We'll see, sometimes the baby could be a little shy and not show us, so we’ll find out next week,” she said as Anna nodded with a smile on her face before she turned to Ashley, who winked at her.  “Thank you so much, Candice, I wanted the best for my best friend,” she said as Dr. Alana smi

Chapter 12"Woah, so you're telling me that Megan is obsessed with you?" Max asked as both he and Jake sat at the bar sipping on their glass of vodka, "I know, it's crazy, I just don't know how I didn't sense it before," Jake said as Max chuckled, "That's because you were so caught up with trying to move on from that Ashley chick," he said as Jake sighed, "Yeah, well that flame died after I messed up yesterday," he said as Max tossed back the rest of his drink before his eyebrows furrowed, "Why did you say that anyway?" He asked as Jake played with his drink.  "What would you have thought if you woke up alone in a hotel bed naked after having dinner with your ex?" Jake asked as Max nodded with a shrugged shoulder, "Okay, you do have a point, but what did she say, what was her reaction?" He asked as Jake's jaw clenched in r

"Hey, what's up, bro?" Max greeted as Jake entered Max's apartment before plopping down beside him on the couch, "What's up, man?" Jake greeted as he ran his hands over his face causing Max to frown, "You alright, bro, you look like you haven't slept in days," he said as Jake groaned, "That's because I haven't," Jake said as Max smirked, "You got a new girl something or did you and that Ashley chick finally made up?" He asked as Jake shook his head, "I wish that was the case, but Nah, man, shit's weird back at the crib," he said as Max frowned, "What do you mean by weird?" He asked as Jake clenched his jaw, "I don't know, I feel like someone is watching me or something," Jake replied as Max hooked his head."That's fucked up," he said as Jake nodded, "Did you ever search your apartment for anything suspicious?" Max asked as Jake's eyebrows furrowed, "No, I thought I was tripping," he said as Max rolled his eyes, "I swear you're the biggest idiot," he said as Jake shoved him.&

Ashley felt as if she was on an edge of a cliff as she waited for Jake to arrive. For a second, she couldn't believe what was about to do, but at the same time, she was excited, the thrill made her giddy. But then, she remembered that she was no longer living alone, "F**k!" She whispered-yelled as she rushed to her phone. As she quickly tried to dial Jake's number, something suddenly hit her window, causing startling her. "What the hell," she mumbled before something hit her window again as she gasp before rushing for the nearest object. Taking slow and cautious steps to the window, Ashley then terrifyingly opened the window causing something solid to her hit in the head as she moaned in pain. Suddenly, a soft "oh shit!" was heard causing Ashley's heart to race as she forcefully swallowed, "W-Who's there?" She stuttered in a frightened tone as a chuckled was followed, " Baby, it's me, Jake, hey," Jake said as Ashley leaned slightly out the window as her eye

"Ashton!" The police officer called out as he opened her cell gate, "Yes, sir?" She softly said as she looked towards him with terror in her eyes, "You're free to go," he said as Megan's eyes widened, "I'm free?" She asked in disbelief as the officer nodded, "Yes, now come on before I change my mind," he said in a cold tone, causing Megan to quickly hurried towards the exit, as the officer closed the gate behind her before escorting her out. As they entered the main building of the police station, Megan right away spotted her mother, causing her to grow pale in the face. Slowly, Megan walked towards the front desk, where she was immediately given back her belongings and had to sign a document. Her eyebrows, suddenly furrowed as the officer at the front desk handed her an envelope, "What's this?" She asked as the officer stared back at her blankly, "A restraining order," the officer replied as Megan's heart dropped, "I-Megan Stephanie Ashton?!" Her mother suddenl
