18
Once again, I encountered Dashiell at the obstetrics department of the women's and children's hospital.
Brent accompanied me for my prenatal checkup.
That's when I saw Melody, heavily pregnant, trailing behind Dashiell.
Her belly looked to be about five or six months along.
Seeing the impatience on Dashiell's face, ugh, could this be another case of infidelity?
Melody's complexion wasn't great. "Wait up, will you? How can work be that urgent? It's only because Mom couldn't make it today that you're here with me. You know how hard it was for us to have this baby..."
Ugh, fearing bad luck, Brent and I walked in the opposite direction.
Back home, I felt like I had ants in my pants.
I was telling my bestie about seeing pregnant Melody and Dashiell potentially being cheated on again.
"It's through IVF. Took three attempts before it stuck. No wonder they're being extra careful," Brent chimed in from the side.
