Preface
"Come on Daniel, the sooner you eat your vegetables the sooner we can go get Daddy." I called to my three-year-old angel. He smiled a little cute crooked smile at me. We were sitting on our apartment balcony waiting for Daddy to call us to pick him up. I missed him when he went to companies to find work but I knew it was important. He was unemployed at the point but it didn't matter to me. I had a successful job as a nurse, and I could support all three of us. Daniel was an angel and understood our financial troubles so he didn't ask for much. Sometimes though I wish I could give him more than I do.
"Mommy, if eating this will take forever. Can't we just go pick daddy up and when he comes then he can feed me." He was purposefully making his face so cute and sweet I just couldn't resist. Almost.
"Nope," my mouth made a pop at the p, "If you want to go pick up daddy you'll have to eat your vegetables."
"Humph." My angel looked to grumpy. He was frowning and started to eat his vegetables without complaining. His messy bronze hair was sparkling in the moonlight as he ate silently. He looked so much like his father it made me smile. The same messy bronze hair, perfect little outlined face, and the same crooked smile that his father used to charm me- though Daniel didn't know that yet. The only way you could tell that Daniel was also my son was the fact that he had my chocolate expressing eyes.
Suddenly we heard the door close and before I turned to see who it was Daniel yelled.
"DADDYYYYY!" Daniel said jumping into Edward's arms. Edward showered Daniel's face with kisses and I smiled seeing the affection in Edward's eyes. After that, I saw Daniel take a deep breath making me and Edward aware that he was going to tell a story.
"…… then Celina came over and Michel and Jamie. Though I don't really like Jamie anymore, he didn't give me his extra lollipop saying that he was going to use it to propose to Celina but she said no. I don't blame her though. She's my friend! ..." Daniel's rant kept going at full speed which he clearly inherited from his 'Favorite Auntie Alice'.
I should probably save Edward since he just came home. I thought as I saw the never-ending patience he seemed to have for his family.
"Angel, Daddy just came home, why don't you let him rest and then later tell him about your day, meanwhile you can go eat those broccolis you love so much." I said sweetly to Daniel. He frowned he couldn't resist it when I talked to him like that- it was his weakness. "How was your day Edward?" I asked my too good-looking husband. I also asked because I could see the stress on his face that he was trying to hide-but I knew him too well. He took a deep breath and sat on our love seat.
"Love I need to tell you something" He said in quiet voice. It scared me-like I was in the dark and something was brewing in the shadows waiting for me. He seemed so sad; it hurt to see him that sad. My heart beat faster in my chest as I took in a shaky breath.
"What is it?" my voice was calm on the surface but I know that he could see the curiosity and fear beneath it.
"I want a divorce."
That's how my world fell apart. That is my story.
