After two years of being together, she got pregnant. She was .....pregnant. Her happiness saw no end. The thought of giving birth to a child for the man she loved was exhilarating.
She lost it. And with it, all others she could ever have. A minor accident at one of her fashion events and it was lost. She couldn't even cry.
Eric had been there to comfort her. To hold her...and loved her. He promised to be with her no matter what. He promised they could adopt if she wanted. He was there whenever she was ready. He was heartbroken but more stable than her.
Why wouldn't he be stable. He already had children of his own. A five year old boy, a two year old girl and a new bump.
How funny....so...funny...right...
How happy they looked playing on the park. His arm around the blonde woman's waist....caressing her bump. The same way she'd imagined he would do to her. How he leaned in to kiss the woman's forehead like he always did her. How he gazed lovingly at his children playing.....just like how he would have to theirs.
Would.....would he have?
Was anything ever real?
She sat there stiffly for God knows how long before slowly standing to her feet, casting a last glance at the family and turned to leave.
