Chapter 23

Sophia

Mom and Ted living at our house. Mom had told me they'd try living in both homes before deciding which one to keep for themselves, so I hadn't been to Elijah's home yet, but that just left me relieved, because I was in familiar surroundings.

Of course, Mom realized I was pregnant and came up with the idea of leaving our house to Elijah and me while she moved in with Ted. I wasn't sure what I felt about this plan.

I woke up in my bed and raised my arms above my head as I stretched out my body. I moved to get out of bed and went to the bathroom for a quick shower. If it were just Mom and me, I'd be a lot more relaxed, but Ted was around. After the shower, I pulled on a pair of sweatpants, a t-shirt, and hoodie, then left my room. Before, I would have just woken up and gone down in the camisole and shorts I slept in.
