Chapter 29- Katlin's baby

Austin Sr. held the hands of his wife who was a nervous wreck the entire day. He gave her a glass of water to help calm her nerves. Jasmine knew she needed to calm down but her gut told her that she was going to learn things she did not expect. She knew how family secrets could shatter hearts. She wanted to protect her children but knew when they became adults they would have to make their paths.

“We are in this together,” Austin said squeezing her hands. Hearing the doorbell ring caused Jasmine to jump unexpectedly.

“Please sit, I will get the door,” he said kissing her on the forehead.

Austin Sr. was not prepared for who was behind the door. Katlin stood nervously with her son in her arms. She had no idea how this would go and suddenly felt like turning around. She was extremely nervous about the situation.

“Katlin,” Austin Sr. said looking up at the baby and Katlin. “Dad, I have something to tell you and Mom,” she said choking on her words.
