Trudy: Life and Love after Loss
Chapter Three
"Speaking of Baby Bray, Jay and I have decided to change his name." said
Amber "So that he would not question Jay as his father."
"You think that is necessary?" Trudy asked
"As much as I love and miss Bray, I don't want Baby Bray to grow up with a
dead father." Said Amber and Trudy nodded
"Have you chosen a name?" Trudy asked
"Yes." Said Amber smiling "We have decided to name him Jayson."
"That's a good name." said Trudy and Amber was silent.
"Well I have to go tell jay the good news." Said Amber standing up and
Trudy nodded than looked away. Once Amber was gone Trudy began to sob.
Twice now Amber has stolen the man she loved and twice she let her have him. Was she so naïve and so much of a pushover that she would give away anything she loved? She thought to herself and then she thought of Brady. No one in the world was going to take her away from her, not even Amber.
"That was a very noble thing you did there." Said a voice behind her and
Trudy wiped her tears as Salene sat down next to her.
"Yeah, noble and stupid." said Trudy
"No Trudy you're not stupid, you just did what you knew in heart was the
right thing to do." Said Salene
"And if it were May and Pride getting married would you have done the same thing." said Trudy without thinking and than she clamped her hand to her
mouth. "Oh Salene I'm so sorry."
"It's okay Trudy you're upset." Said Salene standing up "And for the record, you're right I probably would not have done the same thing. Losing Ryan to death was one thing but losing Pride to another woman might have
pushed me over the edge."
Trudy nodded and then Salene walked away.
"Mommy mommy!" exclaimed Brady as she ran to her and Trudy picked her up.
"Oh Brady you're getting so big." She said "I may not be strong enough to
pick you up soon."
"No." said Brady and she wrapped her arms around her neck "I want you to
hold me forever mommy."
"Oh Brady." said Trudy softly "You'll never leave me right? You'll never
start calling Amber mommy will you?"
"Of course not mommy that's silly. Amber's my aunty, why would I call her
mommy, you're my only mommy." said Brady
"That's right sweetheart." said Trudy as she hugged Brady tightly "You're
all mine."
