"The house is really coming along isn't it?" Miles asked Winnie at the end
of the day. Everyone had left except them.
"Yes, thanks so much for doing all of this. I don't know what I would have happened hadn't you come to my rescue." Winnie replied.
"You are too kind." Miles said embarrassed at the all of her praise.
"No, you are."
"You."
"You!"
"Why are we fighting like this?" Winnie asked.
"I have no idea."
They stood there for a while, standing in each other's silence. Winnie looked around where they stood. A chill ran up and down her spine.
"This is where it happened." Winnie whispered.
Miles looked around and realized what she was talking about.
"He was right where you are. Then Mae....." she stopped, "Were you going to do that the me? When we first met?"
"I would have never killed you. I was just upset with Jesse, with myself. We dragged you into what you should have never had to experience. You were young and innocent and then you met Jesse. He's quite the charmer. He acts out of emotion, passion-never thinking about the consequences. Now he will never get to see his child for the safety of your live and that of your unborn."
Winnie stood there trying not to cry. She didn't want him to see her cry. Suddenly a thought crossed her mind.
"You didn't see Jesse and me....that night, did you?"
Miles seemed embarrassed at this question.
"No. I didn't. I saw the fire's light and I saw you kiss. If I'd seen you two....I would have stopped it. I'm just sorry I came too late."
"Don't be. It was my fault too. I don't even know why I did that, but that night was just odd.
"Jesse was always odd, but you did it out of love."
"I love Jesse, it's just that I love you more."
Miles stared at her in disbelief.
"Why didn't you say good-bye to the night you went away?" Winnie asked inching closer to him.
"Because I loved you enough to let you go."
"You could have at least said good-bye." She said her face only inches from his.
"Good-bye." He breathed.
No sooner had those words left his mouth did he press his lips against hers. The moment was perfect, but something was right. Winnie hunched over in pain breaking the kiss. She look up and Miles with uncertainty. He knew before she did.
Winnie was in labor.
A/N: Dun dun dun!!! This is where I leave you all for now. I shall update soon. Until then.
