This is a misunderstanding Olivia, I told myself. Refusing to put the pieces together.
I needed to confirm it first before anything.
I refuse to believe Leon would do such a thing.
I'm carrying his baby. I was busy talking to myself when Leon walked in and was surprised to see me awake.
Good morning love, he said smiling sweetly.
Good morning I said back, making sure he didn't suspect anything. I didn't even ask him where he went, I don't feel too good this morning, I don't think I can cook, i said.
It's fine I'll do it, he said. He stood up and was about to leave but I stopped him.
Am I imagining it or you are being distant?
You won't even kiss me, i protested.
He seemed taken aback, you are pregnant now and I don't want to do anything that can harm the baby he said.
So it's for the baby huh? Yeah it is, he said awkwardly, okay if you say so I said and he left quickly
Days passed and Julie refused to leave. She constantly got on my nerves. You aren't the first woman to get pregnant so why are you so dramatic? She said.
If you are displease with my attitude you can fuck off to your house or go to hell I don't fucking care,! I yelled.
Listen girl, I'll warn you one last time, don't get on my nerves. Just because I am pregnant doesn't mean I'm weak, so shut the fuck up before I lose it.
Leon quickly intervened and begged me to calm down. Why treat her like a fucking princess, she doesn't even deserve such treatment, she yelled and I lost it.
Pushing Leon away, I slapped her across the face. She lunges at me but Leon pushed her away. You pushed me away because of this bitch? Watch your words Julie, she is my wife, he said.
So what am I? Your side chick? You were the one that slept with me, and now you treat me like trash? She yelled, her eyes welling up.
I felt my head spin at her words, what did you just say? You slept with him? He slept with you? I turned to Leon who looked pale like a ghost. She is lying right? It's not true is it?
Olivia…..please let me explain I… so it is true? You really slept with her. Olivia, he grabbed my hand but I yank it off. I don't want to see you right now, I said.
Turning on my heels I rushed upstairs but my eyes were full of tears, I didn't watch my steps and slipped on the stairs. I rolled down on the stairs and felt my stomach hit something hard.
Olivia! I heard Leon's voice but wasn't able to respond and blacked out.
*************************************************
I woke up feeling pain all over. It felt like my whole body was hit with a golf stick.
Sitting up I saw someone sitting beside me. Leon? Hearing his name being called he instantly sat up and was surprised to see me awake.
Olivia, you are finally awake, you were out for three days, he said and his voice cracked, he looked like he had been crying.
I felt something was off. Rubbing my hand over my belly I discover my baby bump was gone.
Leon, my stomach is back to its normal size, what is going on?
He looked away like he didn't like what he was about to say.
Our baby is….gone, he said and broke down in tears. I chuckled nervously, now is not the time to mess around Leon.
This isn't funny, now tell me where my baby is! I yelled and grabbed his arm tightly.
The doctors must have heard my screams cause they rushed in, prying me off him
