A Family Affair
I couldn’t help but keep my hand on my stomach as the baby kicked inside. “Jace, you can’t tell Jeffrey the baby is yours. It would destroy him, our marriage.”
He took a gulp of water. “He needs to know. If you don’t tell him, I will.”
I grabbed him by the shirt. “Please, Jace, don’t tell your brother.”
He pushed me away; I lost my balance and fell. I hit my head hard and blacked out.
When I awakened, Jeffrey was by my side in the hospital.
I knew from the tears in his eyes the baby was gone.
