BELLAThe next morning, I woke up with a very bad headache. rushing to the bathroom I dry heaved into the toilet feeling as if my stomach wanted to get rid of the baby inside. The morning sickness has been getting worse over the past few days. I got up washed my hands and brushed my teeth. Looking in the mirror I couldn’t help but appreciate my baby bump. It wasn't very visible but it was there. I felt a drop of water on my hands and looked up to realise that I was crying.Crying in fear of the office soon confirming their suspicions, of my father’s wrath, of being alone. Quickly getting rid of those thoughts, I couldn't feel like this now I had to be strong for both myself and the baby I'm all we have. I quickly bathed, went downstairs, took more aspirin and headed for the office. I couldn't eat breakfast right now, I wasn’t just feeling it. I’ll grab something later in the day. At around last 9am, I walked into the office feeling a bit better than I did yesterday.The headac

ROBERTI walked out of Alex’s office feeling annoyed, angry and slightly betrayed. I was still refusing to believe that what Lauren said that day at the cafe was true, but right now I wasn’t so sure anymore.Why would Bella faint and Alex won’t inform me?What was going on between them?How long has this been going on? Am I just reading too much into it?what could all this even mean, was Lauren telling the truth? These questions circulated in my head over and over again as I drove off to the house.I was eager to confirm that my daughter was okay but at the same time, I don’t know what I’ll even say to her. Parking outside, I remained in the car for a while resting my head on the steering wheel as I let out a tired and confused breath.I hadn’t realised how long I stayed outside till my wife came out to meet me. “Honey, what’s wrong? First Bella came home and hasn’t come down from her room all day and now you’re back early as well”“I’m fine love Bella fainted at work so I just

BELLABy morning, I was feeling a bit better and decided I’ll go to the office. Walking downstairs, I saw my mom and dad already sitted for breakfast. “Oh honey, come join us for breakfast.”“Good morning mom, dad.”I quietly pulled out my chair and sat for breakfast. My mom piled up my plate with food and I could obviously see that she felt happy doing so. “Honey, you know Bella isn’t a big eater isn’t this too much.” My dad said as my mom filled my plate. “Oh nonsense let me feed her she needs it.”Although my dad didn’t understand what she meant, I knew very well that my mom meant I and the baby needed this food. “Thanks mom.”Taking the plate from her, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’ve made a mistake with letting her know about my pregnancy.I quietly ate my food avoiding my moms excited gaze and my fathers observant eyes. “Well I’m full I have to run to the office. Bye mom, bye dad.” “Oh but Bella you didn’t even finish your fo..”I heard my mom say as I walked out of the

ALEXThe next morning, I woke up early and prepared Emily’s favourite breakfast of pancakes, sausages and eggs. Walking upstairs to her room, I woke her up and brought her down with me for breakfast. “Hey princess, how did you sleep?”“Good morning daddy I slept so well. Are we still going out for today?”Seeing the hope and hesitance on Emily’s face, I realised how much I’ve really messed up our relationship. Good thing I was planning to fix it all today.“Of course we’re still going out today, Emily I wouldn't let anything get in the way of fathers daughter day. Now hurry up, brush your teeth and let’s go down for breakfast. I made your favourite.”“Oh really daddy really.”“Yes really now go I’ll wait right here for you.”I smiled affectionately as Emily rushed out of bed excitedly and hurried into the bathroom. We quickly had breakfast and went our separate ways to prepare for the day. On the car ride to the arcade, I and Emily had little conversations about everything rangin

BellaI was lying on the couch, half-watching some mindless show on my laptop, a blanket pulled up to my chin. The apartment was quiet except for the low murmur of the dialogue and the occasional car passing outside. My hand rested absently on my stomach, the slight firmness there still feeling both surreal and terrifying.The sound of a car pulling up outside made me pause the video. I glanced toward the window, expecting nothing in particular.It was my father’s car.My heart dropped.And I realised that sooner or later I thought about was here and unfortunately it was much sooner than later. He stepped out, shoulders tense, face set in a way I hadn’t seen since I was a teenager who had done something truly stupid. He didn’t even knock. He just walked straight to my door and rapped sharply.I stood up slowly, legs shaky, and opened the door.Dad stood there, breathing hard, eyes already glistening with a mix of anger, pain, and betrayal so raw it made my knees weak.“Bella,” he sai
