The ride home was a blur. A complete blur.

I must've gagged about 10 times from all the emotions building up inside of me.

How could he do this to me?!

When I got home I ran with raging emotions inside.

I'm leaving permanently. I'm not going to my home in Pennsylvania. I'm leaving where no one will find me.

I'm sick of California. I'm depressed in Pennsylvania. I need to go somewhere entirely different with new surroundings.

I have to leave. I can't deal with cheaters. My mom cheated and left my dad and that's what I will forever hate about her.

She ruined our perfect family. Now Abraham is doing the same.

When I got to my room I grabbed all my suitcases from the corner of my closet.

I layed them on my bed and put everything I owned into them. My clothes, my hair and makeup products, my toiletries, everything.

Not one thing was staying.

I heard footsteps coming up but they were too light to be Abraham's.

"Sweetheart...is everything okay..?" It was Ann.

"I'm leaving Ann for good. I'm leaving!" Tears were streaming down my face.

"Why darling?" She said petting my hair.

"He cheated on me." I said in a broken whisper.

"No he didn't." She said shocked.

I held onto her and didn't let go. She was like a mom to me and I love Ann to death.

I cried into her shoulder for about 10 minutes.

"I have to pack." I said.

"I understand." She said sadly. "You do what's best Alicia."

"Okay." She walked out and I continued to pack.

By the time I was finished I grabbed my suitcases and called for an Uber. I was heading to the airport.

*****************

My Dad sort of figured what had happened but didn't question further. I told him I was moving away from California and Pennsylvania.

He took all the information with ease since he knows I'm an adult now and I'll be okay. I could take care of myself. He said he'd pay for the first couple of months of rent so I could have time to get a job and get back on my feet.

I found a little house in the middle of the woods in the state of Washington for a very cheap price.

Being it was in the middle of the woods the price was fair.

I had everything with me when I arrived in Washington. It was cold but I could get used to it.

This was my new home. The only one who knew where I lived was my Dad. I changed my phone number, took off any social media and pretty much completely disappeared.

Some might say that what I did was completely dramatic but I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't handle the fact that the love of my life cheated on me the day after we got engaged and made love for the first time.

He disrespected me and our love for one another. I could be pregnant and if I am than so be it.

I am fully capable of taking care of a baby. The baby will be my world. My Dad took care of me by himself and I think I can do it too.

I could do this.

******************

The morning sickness is the worst. But whoever said morning sickness is MORNING sickness is insane. It happens at every freaking moment of the day!

I eventually told my Dad that I was pregnant and he took the news more shocking than upsetting.

Sure he was shocked like every parent should but he understood.

Whenever he had time off from work he'd come and visit me and buy things for the baby. We don't know the sex yet but he'd buy things that every baby would need like bottles, pampers, ect.

He was more excited each and every time he'd see me.

"I'm going to be a Grandpa." He'd say over and over. His excitement was contagious.

I ate everything that a pregnant woman should eat. Not always junk food because you want the baby to be healthy. A craving I always had was pickles and chocolate. It was addicting.

Whenever I'd see my pregnant belly I'd get emotional. I created this bundle of joy. This is my baby. It was weird thinking about it.

I always thought of Abraham too. Everyday. The baby would keep my mind occupied but not always.

As the father of this baby he should know but I don't want to tell him. Yet.

I'm scared of how he'll react. I mean he didn't take it too well the morning after we had sex.

He might not be happy about it but I am.

I started working at a little bakery in town. They were very nice to me considering my pregnancy. The hours weren't too bad and I was earning a living.

It was luck.

Washington turned out to be a very good place to run away.

********************

I'm having a GIRL!

I couldn't be any happier than I am right now.

"Congratulations Alicia you're having a girl!" The doctor said.

"I'm so excited!" Tears welled up in my eyes.

I called my Dad right when I walked out of the doctor's office.

He was super excited! As was I!

It was raining out and I was wearing a huge hoodie my Dad let me have since I never took it off.

I got home and grabbed some chips and watched a marathon of The Walking Dead.

It was gory but weirdly enough I could handle it. Well my stomach could.

I had the fire going and I was super comfortable.

I heard the doorbell going off and immediately thought it was my Dad surprise visiting me.

"Dad you didn't have......"

And there he was.

Abraham.

"Hi. Alicia."

Holy fuck.
