You were hungry today, weren't you Jamie?" Kendra asked her four month old baby boy in a high pitch voice and giggled when he 'smiled' at her. It was probably just gas. She put the bottle on the coffee table and began to burp him.

"Hopefully, soon you can eat some baby food. Then you can have big boy food just like mommy and daddy!" Kendra said excitedly and kissed his forehead. James made a gurgle noise before spitting up his milk.

"Mommy can't wait until you can eat big boy food because then she doesn't have to burp you! Its icky!"

Just as she said this she felt rising nausea form in the pit of her stomach. Quickly she put James in his rocker and ran to the bathroom just in time to throw up several times. She stood up, wiped her mouth and leaned her head up agaisnt the wall. She knew it was happening again and she was flipping out.

"Dammit Gavin!" She whispered under her breath and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water and soon went back out to James and rocked him to sleep.

She waited several hours until she heard the front door open. She made sure Jamie was okay before storming off to face her captor.

"Where were you?" She demanded and crossed her arms.

Gavin smirked an looked down at her. "Miss me?" He handed her a bag and she looked inside. Diapers and Formula were all she saw. There was no way this took the whole day to buy.

"Where?"

He sighed, "I just needed a break, I spent the day at the beach."

She scoffed, "YOU needed a break? Sure you get up once at night for the baby, but what about the other times I get up. Or what about during the day when you lock yourself in the den and I'm out here with him. Your forgetting I didn't want this! This was YOU Gavin!"

"Where is this coming from?" He asked her in disbelief. He didn't know why she cared so much about him going to the beach where she could see him right outside the window.

"I'm pregnant Gavin."

He opened his mouth and then closed it, obviously to speechless to talk, so she did it for him.

"Why couldn't you have just waited like I asked? Why did you have to do that to me while I slept? You say your stressed with one kid, well guess what, we're having another! Two infants! So now you won't be going to the beach by yourself for a long time!"

She started to storm away but Gavin turned her back around. A look of regret was etched on his face. "I'm so sorry."

"You know all you seem to say is 'sorry'. Its not gonna work this time."

She turned and walked back into the living room fully aware that Gavin was following but didn't care.

"Kendra-"

"No, Gavin. Just leave it. Don't make it worse."

She grabbed James, who had just awoken from his nap and handed him gently over to Gavin, who looked down at her, and Kendra noticed a look in his eye. One of shame and self hate. Not unlike the one she saw on the day he hit her. But today was different, she wasn't gonna fall for it.

"He needs to be changed and fed."

She sauntered off into her old bedroom, where she hadn't slept since the day James was born. She turned and slammed the door hard, but instantly regretted it when she heard her baby cry.
