I was pregnant.
But I only wanted the baby, not the baby’s father.
With my belly about to become impossible to hide, I simply blocked him.
The very next day, though, he showed up outside my apartment and stopped me at my door.
When I saw his gaze settle on the swell of my stomach, I played it cool.
“What are you staring at? I just gained weight.”
At that, he looked at me like I was an idiot.
“Don’t worry. I don’t need any child support, and I won’t use this baby as an excuse to bother you. All you need to do is disappear completely-”
Before I could finish, he cut me off. “No.” “I want this child too.”
