Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

ATHENA

The breath I didn't know I'd been holding finally escapes my lungs. The paper slips from my fingers, fluttering softly to the floor, but I don't reach for it.

I can't move.

I'm frozen in place, staring blankly. As a wave of emotions crashes over me with such force, it nearly knocks the air from my chest as I read the results over and

over again.

Rayen is mine.

He's mine.

My baby didn't die. He didn't die that day in the hospital like they told me.

I wasn't crazy.

I didn't imagine his little fingers curling around mine. The way I knew, deep in my soul, that he existed even when no one believed me.

Tears burn my eyes, blurring the world around me, and I lift my trembling hand to cover my mouth.

A choked sob escapes before I can stop it. Zayan is suddenly beside me again, his arm wrapping around my shoulders, anchoring me before I drown in the storm.

"If I say I suspected it before I saw his birthmark, then I must be a liar, Zayan. My baby was right at the tip of my fingers and I.... I........ I.....”

Hot fast tears roll down my cheeks as Zayan wraps his hands around me. He holds me while I cry my eyes out.

"I'm such a terrible mother!" I sob as he rubs circles around my back.

"You're the best mum Ry will ever have. Leah is such a bitch and if you want to

burry her six feet under, I'll help you carry the body."

Despite the chaos in my chest, I let out a laugh.

"You're sick!"
