Two weeks.
Nick stared out the window in the kitchen. Old Yeller lay by his feet. A cup of steaming coffee sat at his elbow.
He wandered his days like a ghost. Work kept him busy, so he poured all his energy into his designs, then tossed and turned in bed all night. He thought of Alexa, and his unborn baby.
The bell rang.
He shook his head and made his way to the door. Jim and Maria McKenzie stood outside.
Grief overtook him at their familiar figures, but he pushed the emotion back and opened the door. “Jim, Maria, what are you doing here?”
He assumed they came for one reason—to completely demolish him. He prepared for Maria’s tears and pleas for his unborn child. He expected Jim to punch him and curse him for hurting his baby girl.
Nick straightened his spine and got ready to take it all. He was surprised they’d waited so long. Hell, maybe her parents’ rage would help. He needed to feel something—he’d even welcome pain. Eventually, he needed to contact her regarding the rest of the contract and see what they could pull off for image sakes. He wondered what tale she’d spun to her parents about him.
“May we come in?” Maria asked.
“Of course.” He led them through to the kitchen. Old Yeller slunk behind the curtain, still not used to unfamiliar people. Nick gave his head an absent pat before retrieving two mugs. “I have coffee or tea.”
“Coffee, please,” Jim said. Maria declined and they both sat. Nick busied himself with retrieving cream and sugar and tried to ignore the knot in his gut.
“I’m assuming you’re here to talk about Alexa,” he began.
Jim and Maria exchanged an odd look. “Yes. She’s been avoiding us, Nicholas. We think something’s wrong. She doesn’t take our phone calls. We visited the store to make sure everything was okay, but she made excuses and shuffled us out.”
Jim nodded. “She hasn’t spoken to her brother or Izzy and Gen, either. We decided to come over ourselves and talk to her. Tell us, Nick. Are you two having problems? Where is she?”
The strange Twilight Zone feel of the scene made his head spin. Nick looked at the older couple at his kitchen table and wondered what the hell he was going to say. Alexa hadn’t told them about the baby. Or their breakup. Obviously, she didn’t know how to handle the situation.
Nick smothered a groan of agony. No way was he confessing what had happened. They weren’t his family. They weren’t his responsibility. “Um, I think there may be something going on at BookCrazy. Poetry night.”
Maria clasped her fingers around his. The mingling of strength and gentleness made him want to weep. Her eyes filled with concern. “No more lies. You are part of the family now. Tell us the truth.”
Her words shook the lock on the box deep inside him. Family. She still believed he was part of the family. If only it was the truth and his wife hadn’t betrayed him. Nick bowed his head. The words burst from his mouth before he gained control. “We broke up.”
Maria sucked in her breath. He imagined Jim glared at him with hatred. Nick surrendered to the inevitable. It was time to confess his sins. Every last one of them. The carefully planned ruse crumbled before him, and he realized he needed to take the leap himself. It was time her family knew the truth.
“What happened?” Maria asked tenderly.
Nick released his hold and got up, pacing back and forth as he struggled for the words. “Alexa told me she was having our baby.” He closed his eyes at the immediate joy that sprung over their faces. “But I told her I didn’t want it.”
He lifted his chin and refused to turn away. The familiar ice wrapped around him protectively. “I warned her from the beginning I can’t be a father.”
Maria looked at him with all the understanding in the world. “Nicky, why would you say such a thing? You will be a wonderful father. You are loving, and firm, and have so much to give.”
He shook his head. “No, I don’t. You’re wrong.” The words about Alexa’s betrayal hovered on his lips but he bit them back. He refused to break her parents’ hearts by telling him of their loveless marriage. “There are other personal reasons, Maria. Things I can’t discuss. Things I may not be able to forgive.”
“You’re wrong, Nicholas,” Jim said softly. “There is always room for forgiveness. If you love each other. I betrayed my children’s trust. My wife. I ran and turned my back on everyone I promised to cherish. But they forgave me, and we are whole again.”
Maria nodded. “Marriage is messy. People make mistakes. Sometimes we do terrible things. But the vows you spoke encompassed good times and bad.”
Nick choked on the lump in his throat. “I don’t have staying power. I’m like my father. He’s on wife number four, and he only cares about himself. I can’t stand hurting an innocent child. There’s nothing worse than not being wanted.”
He braced himself for disdain and shock. Instead, Maria laughed and crossed the room to take him in his arms in a tight hug. “Oh, Nicholas, how could you possibly say that?

Nick busied himself with retrieving cream and sugar and tried to ignore the knot in his gut."Saya mengasumsikan Anda berada di sini untuk berbicara tentang Alexa," ia mulai.Jim dan Maria bertukar pandangan aneh. "Ya. Dia telah menghindari kita, Nicholas. Kami berpikir ada sesuatu salah. Dia tidak mengambil panggilan telepon kami. Kami mengunjungi toko untuk memastikan bahwa segala sesuatu adalah Oke, tapi dia alas dan dikocok kami keluar."Jim mengangguk. "Dia tidak berbicara kepada kakaknya atau Izzy dan Gen, baik. Kami memutuskan untuk datang atas diri sendiri dan berbicara dengannya. Beritahu kami, Nick. Kalian berdua mengalami masalah? Mana Apakah dia?"Aneh Twilight Zone merasa adegan membuat kepalaku berputar Nya. Nick melihat pasangan remaja di meja dapur dan bertanya-tanya apa sih yang akan ia katakan. Alexa tidak memberitahu mereka tentang bayi. Atau perpisahan mereka. Jelas, dia tidak tahu bagaimana menangani situasi.Nick tertahan mengerang kesakitan. Tidak ada cara itu ia mengakui apa yang terjadi. Mereka tidak keluarganya. Mereka tidak tanggung jawabnya. "Ehm, saya pikir mungkin ada sesuatu yang terjadi di BookCrazy. Puisi malam."Maria menggenggam jari-jarinya di sekitar nya. Berbaur kekuatan dan kelembutan membuatnya ingin menangis. Matanya penuh dengan keprihatinan. "Tidak ada lagi kebohongan. Anda adalah bagian dari keluarga sekarang. Mengatakan kebenaran."Kata-katanya mengguncang kunci pada kotak dalam dirinya. Keluarga. Dia masih percaya dia adalah bagian dari keluarga. Kalau saja hal itu kebenaran dan istrinya tidak mengkhianati dirinya. Nick menundukkan kepalanya. Kata-kata yang meledak dari mulut-Nya sebelum ia memperoleh kekuasaan. "Kita pecah."Maria sucked in her breath. He imagined Jim glared at him with hatred. Nick surrendered to the inevitable. It was time to confess his sins. Every last one of them.
