Chapter 4
The week went by slow and there still wasn't one call from John. Fiona was so angry from not hearing from John that she just didn't seem to care anymore.
Over the week Fiona did lots of shopping for the baby. She grew a soft spot for her baby growing inside of her. Fiona picked out a few outfits and things to go inside of the nursery. She kept herself busy decorating and organizing. Fiona easily got distracted from all of her negative thoughts about the pregnancy.
Later in the day Fiona was sitting down in the nursery folding clothes when she heard a loud knock coming from her front door. Fiona groaned as she struggled to get up from off the floor. Finally she did but the person at the door kept knocking.
Fiona quickly walked to the door and opened it to see her friend Gary Miller standing at the door. She was stunned to see him. He was suppose to be in Cabo with his wife and John. But instead he was standing at the front door of Fiona's home.
"Fiona..." He says softly walking in. He places his hands on her arms and leaves a gentle kiss on her cheek like he always does when they first see each other.
Fiona stood their motionless.
"Gary, what are you doing in Los Angeles? Shouldn't you be in Cabo with Mary and John! My god, please don't tell me something happened!" Fiona closes the door behind her and walks over to Gary who stood in the middle of the room.
He took Fiona's hand and walked her into the family room. "I think you should sit..." He says helping her down onto the couch.
Fiona held her chest and felt her heart began to race. She felt like it was going to pop out of her chest at any moment.
"Why are you here, Gary? You're scaring me." She says
"Fiona... I hate to tell you this, but John... he's having an affair."
Instantly Fiona felt like she had been stabbed in the heart numerous times. Her whole body became numb. She couldn't even cry. Everything just became a blur. In her mind she couldn't think about how mad and hurt she was, she could only think about her unborn child. She wrapped her arms around her stomach and closed her eyes. She took deep breaths then picked her head back up.
"No, he loves me. He'd never do such a thing." She says with denial
"Fiona, I'm sorry... I wish it wasn't this way either." He says calmly
"With who?" She says
"Him and my wife have been sleeping around, for months."
"How do you know." She responds quickly
"I suspected something. I confronted Mary and it all came out. I left early this morning and knew I had to come to you first."
"What..." she utters
Fiona showed not emotion, she was shocked. All she did was blink a few times. It took a while for Fiona to process the news, but in all honestly she wasn't surprised. Her and John had been unhappy ever since she found out she was with child.
Gary reaches for Fiona's hands and rubs her legs. "Fiona, it will all be okay."
Though Fiona didn't express how she felt, she was glad that Gary had the kindness in his heart to comfort Fiona and reassure her... little did she know Gary had a different motive.
"I'll be here for you, if you need me. I'm just as upset as you..."
Fiona gets out of her stare and looks at the man who couldn't take his eyes off of her.
"You're such a beautiful woman, Fiona Goode. You don't need a man like him in your life."
"We have a child together." She says with sadness
"Whenever you need me, Fiona..."
Gary quickly leans in towards Fiona and grabs her cheeks. He forces himself onto Fiona and attempts to kiss her passionately. He then brings his hand up to her chest reaching for her breast. Fiona quickly reacts. With everything she had she pushed him off of her causing him to fall onto the ground. She strikes his face with her hand causing him to stand up quickly.
"What was that for?" He says loudly
"Get out of my home, now!" She screams as loud as possible
"But Fiona-"
"You scumbag! Don't lay another damn hand on me! Now leave before I kill you!" She hisses
Gary's attempt to come onto Fiona failed. Seeing and hearing the rage from Fiona caused him to scurry out of the home as soon as possible.
When he left the home, slamming the door behind him, Fiona heard him drive off.
She stayed put on the couch and stared ahead of her to see her wedding photo. At this point she was horrified.
But then, everything came out. Fiona's eyes quickly over flowed with tears. She sobbed uncontrollably with no one to comfort her. Fiona felt so alone. All she had was the comfort of her unborn child moving inside.
She placed her hand on the top of her stomach and sniffled.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you."
