“What are you doing here?” I ask through my sobs.
He comes and kneels before me, his eyes staring at me with an emotion I can’t figure out.
“Emma told me she saw you at the store. She said you looked hysterical and that you bought a bunch of pregnancy tests before leaving” he tells me softly, his fingers wiping away my tears.
Damn it Emma and her big mouth! What the hell did she think she’ll accomplish by telling Rowan that I bought pregnancy tests?
“She shouldn’t have told you. It’s none of her business neither is it yours” I hiss.
He doesn’t react instead he asks. “Have you taken the test?”
I just nod my head as more tears fill my eyes.
“And?”
I don’t answer him. I just couldn’t bring myself to admit what the test informed me.
When I don’t answer he surveys the room. His eyes land on them laying near the sink. He stands up and goes to check them. I should be fucking angry that he was violating my privacy, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. Not when I had much more important things to worry about.
He comes back and this time instead of kneeling before me. He instead sits next to me.
“Congratulation. You’re going to be a great mother” he tell me an odd catch in his voice.
I lay my head on his shoulder as I speak. “Am I? You didn’t ever want to have another baby with me even though I wanted one desperately. I thought it’s because you thought I was a bad mother”
I was always so insecure when it came to Rowan. I knew the real reason. He didn’t want another baby because he was holding out hope that Emma will come back. I lied to myself because it was better to think he thought I wasn’t a good mother than to acknowledge that he just didn’t want a
baby with me.
“I’ve never thought you’re a bad mother, Ava. You’re the fucking best. One just has to look at the relationship between you and Noah to know it’s true” he pauses. “Can I tell you something?”
I nod my head.
“I was always jealous of the bond you have with Noah. I still am” he confesses. I lift my head in
shock.

I still can’t believe that Rowan was right now sitting on the bathroom floor with me. The Rowan i
know wouldn’t have cared at all, let alone wipe away my tears.
“Yeah” he answers
We stay in silence after that. I soon start feeling drowsy. I don’t know when I slept or how he carried me to my bed. The last thing I felt before falling into deep sleep, was his lips on my
forehead.
When I wake up, it’s midafternoon the next day. I find breakfast on my side table. Which was
probably cold.
I get out of bed and make an appointment with my gynecologist. I take a quick shower then get
dressed. I still felt tired and worn out.
I wasn’t hungry so I ignore the food. I didn’t know who brought it, but my guess is that it was
Rowan.
Getting into my car, I fire it up and drive as slowly as I can. Trying to delay getting to the doctor’s office. I get there after almost an hour since I left. Taking a deep breath, I get out and walk towards
the private clinic.
There are women inside with their husbands. It takes me back to when I was pregnant with Noah.
Rowan never accompanied me to any of my appointments. I was even shocked that he insisted to
be with me in the room when I was giving birth, given he showed little care for me and the baby I
was expecting.
Pushing those away, I give the secretary my details and take a seat, while I wait for my name to be
called.
“Ava Sharp” I’m finally called after about forty five minutes.
I stand up and walk to Dr. Raven’s office.
“Good to see you, Ava. So what can I do for you this fine afternoon?” she asks as she takes a seat.
“I was hoping to get an ultrasound. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and they were positive, but I
just wanted a confirmation”
I wring my hands. Completely nervous and nearing a heart attack.

“Please pull up your top”
I do as she says, my hands shaking. She squirts the gel on my stomach and begins moving the
wand around.
“You’re definitely pregnant. Around three months along.” she says happily just as the sound of a
steady beating heart fills the room, as

someone I didn’t want to see.
“Killing yourself isn’t the answer” he says, just as he grabs me and pulls me back.
I had been so distracted that I didn’t notice how close he had gotten.
“Let go of me! Let me go right now. Let me end this once and for all” I scream, thrashing in his
hands. Needing him to let me go.
“Snap out of it Ava!” he shouts back at me. Refusing to let go. “Think about Noah, are you going to
leave him motherless? Are you going to leave him with the pain of losing his beloved mother at such a young age? What about you’re unborn child, are you so fucking selfish and cruel that you
would kill an innocent baby? Your own flesh and blood” he shakes me, his face hardening with
each word he says.
At the mention of Noah’s name. I stop fighting him.
“Rowan…”
“No! I don’t care what you think right now or if you’ll even hate me later, but I’m booking you an
appointment with a therapist. You’re going to work on your issues and you’re going to be the best
goddamn mother to your two children and you will love them both unconditionally despite who
their father is or so help me God, Ava, I will…” he doesn’t finish his sentence but I get what he’s
saying.
He was breathing hard, grey storms raging in his eyes. His hands tightening around me as if he

as I feel his erratic beating heart.
His colyne washes over me and I calm down.
“How did you find me?” I ask as he walks us to his car. @
“I will always find you, Ava” he replies firmly. “Always”
“Thank you, for pulling me back today” I tell him as I sink deeper into his warmth, feeling ashamed that I contemplated taking my life and that of my baby.
His reply is a soft kiss to my cheek then my temple.
I sigh. Rowan was right. Noah didn’t deserve to lose his mom and my unborn child didn’t deserve to lose his or her life at my hands. They deserve to live fully and have a mom that loved them so
much
I was going to make a couple of changes. One of them being pushing my bitterness and anger aside and facing Ethan. He needed to know that he was going to be a father. Which means I have
to make a trip to prison.
