My Baby’s Father

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 36

? Kim’s p.o.v?

“Lucy said you would be leaving the country tomorrow. Care to tell me why I am the last to hear about this?” The priest asked.

I came around today because this is prolly the last time I would see the lady. We ended our sessions about a week ago and whenever I come here we just talk and pass time away.

I was leaving the country tomorrow and I wanted to pay her a visit and prolly commit her face to memory incase I don’t see her again.

“Been thinking about it for a while now. I am sorry for not letting you know”. I apologized.

“I am not angry if in any case,I am happy for you because I remembered recommending a change of environment to help you forget things fast,I am glad you took my advice but don’t you think it would be stressful when you would be due in few months”.

“I know it would be but we would survive right? And moreover I want to welcome my baby in a new surrounding”.

“That’s a good idea Kim. I wish you the best and I love the child even though you are denying me the opportunity to see the baby”. She teased

“I am not denying you the opportunity…I just think my baby and I need this desperately”.

“Which country are you going to?” She asked me.

“The phillipines” I replied.

“Would you be okay there?”.

“Yes I guess…I got a job”.

“You already got a job?”

“Yes, Lucy’s son offered me a job and I am grateful for that”.

“The little boy is a nice child. He does have a branch there and I think it wouldn’t be hard working with him because you are hardworking and intelligent. That would be after you put to bed though”.

“Yes i am well aware of that but I want to settle in with the few months left and probably coolval stories meet new people”..

“It’s a good thing you are taking my advice” she beamed.

“Of course,I think you helped me in one way or the other and I am grateful for that. I am grateful I met Lucy and I am also grateful i met you through Lucy. The both of you have been very nice to me and I owe you both my life” I told her sincerely.

“No,no don’t say that. It’s nothing” she said waving her hands like it was nothing but I could see the small smile on her face.

“No it is something,you really helped me and brought me out of my darkest times. A few months ago I wouldn’t have believed I would be able to offer a genuine smile but here am I laughing. I am really grateful for the help you rendered to me and my child”.

“No Kim. You did the most part of the job for you and your baby,you are a great and strong person and i am happy I met you. I am glad you have decided to move on with your life even though I have already gotten used to you being around.”

“I have gotten used to being around you too” i admitted truthfully.

“That’s good because the feeling isn’t one sided” she joked. “But I am really glad I met you and as weird as this sounds, I am going to miss you”.

“I would too”.

“Promise you would send me a mail every month….you must send me a mail with a picture of your child when you eventually put to bed” she paused. “Who knows,you might eventually give birth to a baby boy or who knows you might have the baby girl you have always wanted”.

“Let’s not get into this today” I frowned.

“Of course we won’t. Not today,but promise you would send me a mail every month” she said feigning a serious face.

“I would. I promise I would” I promised her.

“Yes please do and you should tell your son about me” she said teasingly.

“Let’s not get into this today” I said frowning.

“Right. We shouldn’t get into this old argument today” she said feigning a serious face before her facade fell and she burst into laughter and surprisingly I joined her.

The woman was weird in a good way.

2 DAYS LATER.

“You should stay here for the night”. The Tyler guy said and I nodded.

I had no where to go yet and I needed to search for available places. I definitely didn’t want to stay with him,I needed to be on my own.

We arrived some hours ago after a day and half journey. I know it’s weird but I didn’t want to board a flight because I was heavy and I didn’t think boarding a flight was a good idea because of the nauseous feeling and the likes. I opted for a train and surprisingly the Tyler guy agreed to hop on the train with me. He have been surprisingly nice but I know better than to take it to heart,he wasn’t nice to me at first so why would he just start acting nice out of the blue.

“Are you even listening to me?” His voice brought me out of my short trance.

“Of course I am” I said with a small smile.

“Let me direct you to the guest room then” he said before leading the way and I followed suit not before looking around the house.

The house was beautiful and decently furnished,I didn’t know how many rooms were in the house but there are bound to be more than five rooms there. Lucy’s family were no doubt rich if her last son had a company and a mansion in the Philippines. I had no idea why he decided to come with me since I wasn’t resuming work now and with just a phone call I am very sure I would be allowed into the company. He probably had work to do here too .

“Thank you” I told him as he dropped my two suitcases on the floor of the room. The room was decent, not too big and not too small and I liked it just like that.

“There are toiletries in the bathroom,come downstairs and let me know if you need anything. I would be in the kitchen preparing dinner” he told me and I nodded.

“Thank you” I said again.

“What would you like to eat?” He asked me.

“Anything is okay by me as long as there is no peas and carrots in it” I told him and he nodded before leaving the room.

I loved peas and carrots before I got pregnant but my pregnancy changed everything. I rarely took coffee and if I did it was the one without milk and I wouldn’t have taken something like that before but I guess things can’t always be the same when you are expecting a child.

I sat gently on the bed supporting my weight with my hands to my waist. I was heavy already and some times it was hard to walk without supporting myself with my hands.

I took off my clothes before making any way to the bathroom. I stayed in the bathroom for about thirty minutes or so because the warm water was soothing and I definitely didn’t want to get out because I was lazy to leave the bathtub,I wanted to stay there until God knows when,the water was soothing my sore muscles from the almost two days journey.

We were in the Philippines now.

I later left the bathroom after summoning my inner super woman,I changed into one of the loose gowns Lucy bought me. She bought me everything I had now because I didn’t have anything when she met me. I was far from fat but I still felt fat because of my protruding stomach,I looked at my reflection in the mirror,my hair was sticking to my face in an annoying manner,for the first time in a long time,my hair looked annoying to me and i felt irritated by how long it was. Cutting it a little won’t hurt because it is bound to grow back right?.

I was about to rest a little when a knock resounded on my door.

“Come in” I called out and Tyler entered.

“I wanted to call you for dinner” he said.

Oops I already forgot I was about to eat dinner.

I stood up before putting on my slippers and I followed him, walking down the stairs wasn’t an easy task for me and it really sucks.

Why am I so lazy?

My mouth watered when I saw the food in front of me,it was a chicken sandwich but my expression fell when i remembered the memory behind it.

It reminded me of Ashton and the chicken sandwich I made in his house that didn’t end well and how he have put it on himself to make food if the housekeeper doesn’t drop by.

“Are you okay?” I heard Tyler ask and I nodded immediately.

“Yes,why?”

“You kinda zoned out for a while. I can help you make something else if you don’t like this”. He suggested.

“No,it’s totally okay and I am fine with this”.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes I am fine” I said offering him a small smile before taking a seat.

I am really fine.

I am over him.

??????

“Would it be alright if I borrow your laptop?” I asked the Tyler guy as he packed the dishes away and I followed him.

“My laptop? Why?” He asked.

“I really need to search for available places” I told him honestly.

“This night?” He asked and I nodded.

“Yes”.

“You know it’s okay for you to stay here. I am not pressuring you to leave” he said looking at me in the eyes.

“I know,thank you but I don’t want to stay here. You have helped me enough” I replied.

“Okay,let me load the dishes in the dishwasher. Wait for a minute” he said and I nodded.

“Here” he said handling the laptop to me.

I was presently in front of his bedroom while he went inside to get the laptop.

“Thank you”.

“Have a nice night Kimberly and don’t be too hard on yourself” he said.

“Have a nice night too” I said before returning to my room.

I have been searching for available houses for about three hours now but those I saw definitely wasn’t my style. I wanted to stay in a normal neighbourhood where there would be a daycare and it would be easy for me to get to work because I definitely didn’t want to stay In an unsafe area or something. I had no one to be scared of here.

I wanted a house that was closer to Tyler’s company so I wouldn’t have to disturb myself everyday when I eventually started the job.

My eyes are beginning to get tired but I wasn’t about to sleep without getting a better place. I soon got bored of searching for houses and I didn’t want to sleep even though I needed to sleep. I found my fingers typing Ashton’s name in the system and latest informations about him came out immediately.

I scrolled up wanting to see the press information about our split. I know I shouldn’t have stalked him on Tyler’s laptop or anybody’s own, hell I shouldn’t even stalk him at all. The press didn’t do well in fabricating the story or he might have fabricated the story himself,I saw this coming so why should I be bothered.

There were many hate comments about me and surprisingly I didn’t take it serious because that’s how the public portrays things to be but I found myself loathing him the more for pushing me into something like this.

There was recent pictures of him attending functions but the one that made me mad was the picture I saw of him and Julia,they were loved up and I felt really bad.

I wasn’t jealous,it was something far from that. I felt angry,used and stupid and I tried effortlessly not to let the tear drop but it did and the memories I have been trying so hard not to recall were back in torrent. I was kidnapped,hurt, wounded because of the same woman in his arms. Did he even look for me? Or he just shut me out like everything was about the money and he already fulfilled his part of the deal. I was the stupid one that lost everything and ended up getting shot.

It was hard not to think of Ashton ever though I desperately wanted to stop thinking of him because he had a part of him in me which is the baby. As much as I regretted everything that happened between Ashton and I,I didn’t regret having a baby because I loved the child growing in me then anything in this world but that still didn’t justify what they did to me. They used me and tossed me aside like I was trash.

Here I was trying to pick up the remaining pieces of my life that he and Julia shattered and here they were getting loved up and smiling to the camera like everything was alright in the world.

I won’t forget what they did to me,I promise that.

Looking at the picture again made me realize I was never gonna let Ashton know we had a child together. This child was mine and mine alone and whoever wants to take my child should be ready to face my wrath.

I was gonna be a father and mother to this child and I was gonna protect the child with my last breath and every other thing I have.

Ashton isn’t worth this child.

No he isn’t worth my child because he have hurt me alot.

He hurt me alot.
