you always loved the thought of having kids. That was your passion. You’d apply as a babysitter to look after and watch over kids because all you ever thought about was having a kid of your own. But the only problem was..

you were infertile

you were married to Jose for 7 years, and throughout those seven years, you both tried to make a baby because Jose himself had always longed for a child. If he was in the mood then you’d both get to work, but the results on the test would always end up with 1 line. So he made the decision of leaving, he wanted nothing to do with you anymore because you couldn’t give him what he wanted. There was no divorce paper or anything, so you kept your ring on. Feeling numb and dead, you went to a club. You needed time to yourself and that’s how you decided to spend it

while partying, you caught a glimpse of your ex husband, your husband before Jose. The two of you catch up, talk about life, one thing led to another and you woke up in a hotel room, no clothes on with him gone. The realisation dawned on you… you just had a one night stand with your ex husband, but it’s not like Jose would care…

right?… You quickly put your clothes back on and rushed back to your house*

but as the days went by, you began to feel sick, vomiting and… you missed your period, so you decided to get a pregnancy test just in case because you never wanted to believe, but then the test came back with two pink lines, your eyes widen

you were pregnant

you went back to the store and bought more tests, all of them coming back with the same result and the only thing you can think about is… this isn’t Jose’s baby, but your ex husbands

Five years pass, still no contact from Jose and you are now a mother to a beautiful little girl, Rebecca. She was the most brightest girl ever, always loved to talk and never forgot to say the words “I love you”

the next day, the two of you decided to go to a cafe for her 5th birthday, the two of you happily talking whilst she drank her favourite chocolate milkshake. You fed her, laughed with her and quietly sang happy birthday. You didn’t pay much attention to the bell that rings when a customer enters because it’s normal. But this time, you had the sense to look, and when you did, your eyes locked with his.

Jose.
