It has been a little over a ht with Shotgun, a month since my father was in that accident – thank God, he has started to make a recovery, if a slow one They want to keep hier, just to ets the specialist help he needs for as long as it takes hiet back on his feet

But I feel as though we have been here a year straight, and I aet back to nedas it takes, and even when I move back to Valor, I a h his rehabilitation

Todd has offered to help, and I know that I should take him up on it, but there is a part of ood with my father since he has been down here, but honestly, he’s been treating this all as though I have finally seen the light and decided to give in and be with him

And that’s the very last thing on ht now

In fact, since I have been here, I have been doinghiet to check in It’s not often, but it’s solare at the back of my head every ti him in front of Todd To make sure that he knows that I’m not about to roll over and just let whatever this is happen

Because the first thing that my father said to lad to see the two of us together

"You have no idea what a relief it is," he h his bleary gaze "I know that you haven’t always seen eye to eye, but you’ve figured it out Todd is the right man for you"

I didn’t answer him then, and I still haven’t now I don’t want to I don’t want to have to have this conversation with my father – the one where I tell hi about, ain ht with, but who I h it has been a lifetime

In all the exhaustion of everything that has been happening, I suppose that I haven’t been payingon inside my own body It isn’t until Todd makes some asshole offhand comment that Ihits me my period is late

I push it down at first, pinning it on the stress that I have been through, everything that has been happening, but I know there is more to it than that My skin crawls as I head to a pharmacy near the hospital, pick up a test, and slip into the bathroom to take it

I haven’t really been feeling anything too rough, so maybe it’s just the stress that has pushedfor me to worry about
