Even if he doesn’t know yet, for sure, that it’s his baby? If Kent can get here. He will.
So I too stare between the door and the wardrobe, looking for him. Waiting.
Where is he?
The silence in the room grows, as the three of us wait.
And I thought that it would be better – that I’d get used to it, would calm down – but listening to the horrible noises below – gunfire, screaming, shouted commands to move here or go there –
All that noise winds me tighter and tighter until I think I might pop.
And throughout all of it – I know that I’m listening for him. For the sound of Kent’s voice, the echo of his own commands –
But I don’t hear it anywhere.
And I go cold as I realize that that might mean…
Oh my god.
I slap a hand over my mouth, shaking my head in horror.
Is he already dead?
Daniel stands steady, staring at the door, his hands tight around his gun as my mind absolutely whirls in panic.
Did the father of my child fucking die hours after I found out I was pregnant?
What on earth was I going to –
But before I can get any further in my thoughts, the sound of something hard banging against glass makes us all spin towards the windows.
We all go rigid with fright and Daniel shouts something wordless as he raises the gun towards my windows, towards the darkness outside that makes it impossible to see anything –
But suddenly, of all things, a voice echoes from the darkness outside.
