Why is he making everything so difficult for me? 

Jack's hurt face flashed in front of me, making me cry even more. Slapping him was the right thing I did. I didn't let him take advantage of me and showed him that he should keep his distance as I demanded on the day I left his house. I stopped myself from ruining myself again. I did everything right. Even though I did the right thing my heart hurt more. Why do I feel like this? 

Why is the hurt look in his eyes making my heart pain like someone squeezed it hard almost taking the life out of me? 

Why in just a split of seconds everything feels so wrong. I kept crying until I felt a little calm. I didn't know until I stood there still sobbing thinking about everything. The peace I was feeling a few moments ago was completely robbed away from me, making me feel that void in my chest again. I sobbed heavily as all of this made my head hurt even more. I heard the light knock on the door making me come out of my deep thoughts. I sobbed lightly while wiping the traces of tears away from my cheeks. I took a few deep breaths to make myself content. I blew a heavy breath out of my mouth as I tried to swallow my tears. I try to control but my eyes sting still. Still sobbing lightly and controlling myself I opened the door to find Jack standing in front of it with his hand still in the air as if he was about to knock on the door again. Looking at me he lowered his hand. I didn't say anything and kept looking at him with a blank look on my face. 

"Come down for breakfast everyone is waiting for you," he said in his soft voice while looking straight into my eyes. My eyes moved all over his face. The light print of my fingers was on his right cheek. It made me curl my hand from which I slapped him. Without answering him I was about to close the door again but he stopped the door from getting closed while gripping the door. 

"Please come down for breakfast, kids are waiting for you," he said in his pleading voice. Again I didn't answer him and tried to close the door but he still didn't let me. I started to feel annoyed. I exhaled loudly as I knew he wouldn't go until I answered him. 

"Tell them I'm not feeling well. I will have my breakfast when I feel better," I said in my annoyed voice and again tried to close the door. 

"Don't take my anger out on your breakfast. You are not starving yourself but my child too" he said in his firm voice making me look at him with anger. 

"Please come down to eat" this time he said in a soft voice. I just nodded my head when he let the door go. Closing the door I went and took shower fast. As I didn't want to make kids wait. I dressed in a cotton gown and walked towards the mirror to comb my hair.  My eyes fell on my visible bump and without wasting a second I wrapped my hands around my stomach letting my baby know everything will be fine. Even if I'm feeling alone and hollow now, everything will change once my baby comes into this world. I won't be alone anymore. My baby will be my reason to live in this cruel world. 

"Mommy will always be there for you," I said in my crying voice and took a few deep breaths to drink my tears. My hormones are messing so much with my emotions. I took deep breaths, composed myself, and walked out of the room. I didn't want to make kids wait anymore. As I walked down the stairs I saw Amelia waiting for me on the base of the staircase. 

"Nina is here" she chirped in her sweet voice making all the kids look in my direction who all were patiently waiting at the dining table for me. All of them greeted me good morning with a happy face taking away my sadness. I smiled at them and they all smiled looking at me. He was sitting there too. I didn't look in his direction even after I felt his light brown eyes on me. As I stepped down from the last stairs. I took Amelia in my arms. 

"Good morning," she said in her sweet baby voice and kissed my cheeks. 

"Good morning," I said, kissing her cheek back. Whenever I look at this child my heart feels happy like she is mine. 

"Let's go fast and eat breakfast. The baby must be hungry," she said in her baby voice, making me laugh. The only two seats available were beside him. I sigh and make Amelia sit between us as I take a seat beside her. 

"Sorry kids for making you wait as sorry I will make cupcakes for you all," I said, making everyone yell in happiness. Soon Miss. Bankers brought our breakfast. I served the food on Amelia's plate and she started devouring it. 

"Baby if you are hungry don't wait for me and eat your breakfast before me," I said as I put apples on her plate. I felt Jacks' eyes on me but I ignored him as if he was not in this room. 

"This kid won't listen. I told her to eat but she refused and she won't even tell me the reason" Miss. Bankers said as she took her seat. 

"I wanted to eat with the baby," she said while munching on her food. 

"Nina I want to feed baby apples but how will he eat them?" she asked with a cute confused frown while pointing the piece of apple to my stomach making me and everyone laugh. 

"You can feed her and the baby will eat it," said Jack, getting her attention. I stopped laughing as soon as I heard his voice. 

"How will that happen," she asked with the same cute frown on her face but there was a spark of curiosity in her voice. He took her and made her sit on his lap. 

"Baby is in her tummy whatever mommy eats that reaches the baby so you can feed all the apples to her from this plate so it reaches the baby," he said, handing her the plate. I saw how Amelia's eyes lit up listening to a new piece of information.  I glared at him as I knew he was purposely doing it as I put all the fruits back on the plate not eating them. 

"Nina, come here I want to feed the baby," she said in her excited voice. Amelia fed me all the apples, making me so full that I couldn't eat anything. I couldn't even say no to her. I shot daggers in his direction but he was giving me a look as if he was innocent. After that, I told Miss. Bankers I was going to the hospital. As I was waiting for my cab his car stopped in front of me. 

"Get in," he said but I ignored him. 

"Nina, we both know you can't stand here for long in the beaming sun. It's not good, please come and sit," he said in his pleading voice. I don't know why the hell cab is taking so long to arrive. But in a few seconds, it arrived so I went and sat in it. He closely kept following my taxi, not letting it go out of his sight. I reached the hospital and he followed me closely. The doctor was already there checking on Dad's health. 

"Doctor, how is my dad doing," I asked him in my eager voice. Jack stood beside me with his hands in his pocket. 

"He is recovering, don't worry he is out of danger," he said with an assuring smile on his face. 

"Then why is he not waking up," I asked in my desperate voice. 

"Because his body is still in shock he will regain consciousness soon," he said to make me understand. I nodded feeling helpless as I couldn't wait for him to gain his consciousness. I sat in his room with Jack. I kept my distance and kept ignoring his presence. After a few hours, a nurse walked in. 

"Mrs. Miller, it's the time your monthly appointment doctor is waiting for you," said in her work voice I nodded and stood up. 

"Thank you for reminding me. Look at him for me," I said with a small smile and walked out as she was supposed to stay with dad. Jack followed me like my tail. 

"You have an appointment today, why didn't you tell me?" he asked me but I ignored him and walked towards the elevator he followed in. 

"Nina, I'm asking you something. You can't keep ignoring me" he said in his hard voice as he took hold of my hand. I looked at his face and my wrist he was holding with a set jaw. He let go of my wrist as he saw my angry face. Doors of the elevators opened and walked straight into my doctor's cabin. I took my seat and he took his seat beside me. Even if I don't want him here I can't make him go away as it's his baby too. 

First, my doctor was a little surprised to see Jack as I was alone at all my checkups. He was constantly asking the doctor all kinds of questions which made the doctor look at me with a smile on her face. She checked me and showed Jack the sonography of the baby on the monitor. All the time Jack's eyes were glinting with happiness. I kept looking at him but when he looked at me I averted my eyes to monitor. When the doctor made him hear our baby's heartbeat his level of happiness was top of this world. He grabbed my hands as he heard the heartbeat. He even asked for pictures of the sonography of our baby.  I moved my head as I remembered that day. 

The excitement and the happiness were all visible on his face. I knew he would be a great dad. It's been two days since then and I have found him looking at the picture many times. He still brought food even if I didn't exchange a single word with him. As I was teaching the craft to kids I heard a loud grunt making me look out of the window where Jack was building a house for kids to play. I saw Jacks' hand was bleeding badly and without even realizing it I found my legs moving and now standing in front of him. 

"Who told you to do this, see now your hand is bleeding badly," I said as I pressed my kerchief on the cut. 

"You are not used to this kind of thing but you still want to do it even if you get hurt like this," I said in anger as I tied the kerchief to his cut. I looked at him in anger and found him already looking at me. That's when I realized what I was doing. I masked my emotions and tried to walk out of there but he pulled me to him by encircling his hand around me. 

"Keep yelling at me. Keep complaining to me. Kept telling me how cruel and stupid I'm but please keep talking to me. I don't feel like breathing when you ignore me" he said in his soft, sincere voice while looking straight into my eyes. 

"Let me go," I said and tried to get away from his hold as my heart beat fast at his small confession. 

"Please Nina l," he said in his hard voice. My heartbeat was more wild as I looked into his eyes. He took deep breaths like gathering his courage. 

"Nian I'm mad--"but before he could continue we heard Miss. Bankers' voice made him lose his grip on my waist. 

"Nina your dad woke up"
