Serenity:

I fix my hair in the mirror, my eyes are droopy and my face is pale. But this is the side effects of being pregnant.

I rub my aching ankles as Kevin comes towards me and kisses my forehead.

“Leaving?” I ask.

He sighs and gently puts his hand onto my bulging tummy.

“Yes, we have a photoshoot today.”

I hug his neck and bring his face closer to mine, kissing him gently.

“Okay but be back soon, I’m due any day now.”

He smiles and excited starts tickling my tummy.

“Ahh my little girl is coming home soon!”

Laughing I push him away and cover my stomach with my cardigan.

“Stop tickling her!” I laugh.

He grins evily and pulls me into a big bear hug. “I only want to express my love.”

He gets up and leaves the room, blowing me a kiss as he exits.

Once he leaves I sigh, taking off my cardigan im wearing a silky night dress.

I glare at the diminishing time on my arm. Once Kevin and I got married I had never, not once, shown him my death date.

I’ve seen his though; he will live a long life. I however…don’t have as much time left.

I will never get to see my daughter go to school, I will never see her go to prom, I will never see her get married to her own soulmate.

This was the reason I never wanted a life with him. I didn’t want to break his heart in the end.
