The Ex

The love of your life or your biggest mistake? Its hard, meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the hurt, the tears and accusations, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster. You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world. You see his face change. You know what hes thinking. The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child? You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. Youve missed him so much but can you ever trust him again? After a sleepless night, you arrange to meet, agreeing that the most important thing is doing whats right for baby Tom. But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: you never thought either of you would go this far
