I stood at the doorway of our bedroom watching Nita stare distractedly at her phone. This was difficult for her. Her husband having a child with another woman. I couldn't change the past, but I could make the future easier for her.
I walked over to her and sat by her side on the bed. "Penny for your thoughts?"
"Just thinking about this Gwen situation. We can't keep putting it off for much longer."
She was right, of course, but where do I even start from?
"We have to tell our parents."
"My dad knows. He hasn't told my mum. How do I tell your parents? Your father is probably going to shoot me in the leg."
"In the penis is a better location." She chuckled.
"I don't know who to fear more at this point. Your thoughts can be quite scary."
She laughed and turned to face me.
"Richard, I am not angry anymore. But you have to go to Gwen's appointment. She needs you; the baby needs you."
