The next couple of weeks were crazy. We had a funeral to plan and I hadn't left Dane's side since it all happened.

We had a beautiful service for Angie and thankfully her sister couldn't make it for the service so she doesn't know about the baby.

She was buried in the same cemetery as my mom. It's weird trying to be happy when we know that Angie is gone and Kayden will never know his mom.

Today is my seven-month check up and I'm not sure to ask Dane if he wants to go. Most days he's just walking around like a zombie and barely functioning.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen and he was just sitting there looking out the window.

"Dane, I have a doctor's appointment this morning do you want to go with me?"

He turned and looked at me. "Yeah, I think that would be the right thing to do."

"You don't have to if you don't want to," I said taking a drink of water.

"At some point Pria I will have to learn to be a dad on my own and take care of my baby without my wife and I need to see this baby that I know is a part of her."

"Alright then let's head out. Do you want me to drive?"

"No, I can drive if you want to ride me with." He said.

"Sure I just need to let dad know we will be a little late," I said pulling out my phone.

We get in his truck and head toward the doctor's office. I let dad know and he said to take all the time we need. He's been very understanding through all of this.

We pull up at the doctor's office and Dane isn't moving just sitting looking straight ahead and I see a tear fall down his face.

I turn and wipe the tear. "Listen we are in this together. He may not be my son but I have a bond with him and I would never leave you to take care of him on your own."

He looked over at me. "Really Pria?"

"Yes, Dane! I would never just walk away and say here ya go figure it out the best way you can. I mean I would of with Angie around because she would have been the best mom but we can learn together." I said.

"Thank you!" He said as we got out of the truck.

When we were called back we walked in together and sit side by side when Dr. Jessup walked in.

He bowed his head... "Dane I'm so sorry about your wife."

"Thank you, Dr. Jessup."

"How are the both of you doing?" He asked.

"We are hanging in there for this one's sake," I said rubbing my tummy.

"Does he have a name?" He asked.

"Angie wanted to name him Kayden so Kayden Robert Cresswell it is." I smiled.

"Well, let's get a look at Kayden." He said squirting the gel on.

Dane got up and walked over to where I was laying on the bed and grabbed my hand.

"He's sucking his thumb again. But overall he looks healthy and right where he needs to be. He just needs to stay in there two more months." Dr. Jessup said.

He printed out some pictures and handed them to me and I looked at them before handing them over to Dane.

We made our next appointment and headed to work. I looked over at Dane a few times to see if he was ok and he was just focusing on the road.

"What are you thinking about Dane?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Of course or I wouldn't have asked."

"I'm worried about you giving birth and Angie not there to be with you and hold your hand. Can I be in the room or is that going to be weird?"

"Don't worry about it. Sof will be in the room and you can too but up at my head of course. It will all work out Dane I promise."

I squeezed his hand and smiled over at him as we pulled up to work. "It's all going to be ok."

"I'm counting on that because right now my heart is completely shattered. Maybe seeing our baby boy's face will help ease the pain some." He said.

"I hope so too Dane I really do," I said as we walked into work.

I was so sad that Kayden will never know his mom and for Dane that was so happy for a baby and now he's just a broken man and then there is me and I'm not sure where I stand if Dane wants me to be his mom or what.

I could never fill Angie's shoes but the man is going to need some help.

It was like work went in slow motion and it was asshole after asshole on the phone and I just wanted to scream and yell at them.

When 5 pm came I was getting out of there and going to my thinking spot. I just needed time away.

I didn't say bye to dad or Dane I just needed out of there. I made it out to my car and before I could open the door Dane was standing there.

"Pria where are you going?"

"I need to go to my thinking spot, Dane. I just need a breath of fresh air."

"Can I go with you?"

"Sure get in," I said.

I was shocked he wanted to go with me but I don't mind. We bot are grieving but I know it's harder on him.

We pull up and he follows me down to my spot and we sit down.

"I always skip rocks. Try and beat me." I laughed.

"You're on." He smiled picking up rocks.

I picked up my rock and skipped it across the water seven times.

"Well shit, I can't do that." He said throwing his rock and it skipped three.

"I knew I would beat you," I said leaning into his arm.

"Thanks for bringing me along Pria." He smiled over at me.
