Chapter 2
Reyna looked down at the little girl eating her cheerios. Kiara was the only thing that worked out perfectly in her life. Sure she sometimes she wanted help, like when Kiara decided to bawl her eyes out at three am, or when she needed extra cash for rent or groceries. But the hardest part of being a single mom wasn't when the hard times settled in. It was when the good things happened, Kiara's first word, standing up on her own, first clumsy step. Reyna would witness the miracle of her baby girl. Then she would look around, and there would be no one to share it with. No one else's eyes filled with amazement. The hardest part was knowing that if she had only told him, he would be her there to. No, she refused to think like that he's happy. She knew she could never forget the day, he left her. It wasn't his fault, she knew that. But it was her first real heart break.
Reyna knew she had to tell him about the baby. It wasn't right to keep this a secret. So what if he had pulling away, this was his baby too. Taking a deep breath, she slowly approached the father of her baby.
"Jason, we really need to talk."
"Let me go first, this isn't going to be easy." He paused, and sucked in a breath.
"This, you and me, isn't going to work out, Reyna I think I'm I love with someone else and it isn't far to keep stringing you along. I am so sorry if I hurt you but this is really for the best." Only one thought came to mind 'the baby!' How could she tell him now? No, she wouldn't tell him, if he wanted to be with someone else, so be it. She wouldn't let him be unhappy, she was sure if he knew he would stay. That was just the kind of guy he was. Jason would be there for her and his child. But that's not what he wanted. She wouldn't force him into a life he would always resent her for.
That day she vowed she could do it on her own, Women had done it before. It could be done again. Reyna didn't need anyone, no one but her and Kiara, and that was how she liked it. Two days later she packed he bags and left for Chicago. She left without a note, or explanation. No one not a soul knew about her baby. She got a job as an assistant for an insurance company. It wasn't glamorous but it paid well, and her boss was very understanding about Kiara, seeing as she was a mom herself.
Reyna pulled herself together, and picked Kiara up to get ready for preschool. Thank the gods for childcare.
As Reyna walked out of the building with Kiara sitting on her hip, and diaper bag over one shoulder, and a brief case in hand, she walked into someone.
"Sorry" they both said. Reyna glanced up, then froze.
