345 Memories That Haunt

(Winona)

I start to drift off to sleep. I see Judy's face, cold and cruel.

I'll take that baby from you.

I bolt upright, gasping for air, the terror still lingering in my pounding chest.

I'm not there anymore. I'm safe. We're safe. I breath deep. Stop letting this mess with you, I tell myself. I know we're okay. We're going to Jayden. We are safe.

But the fear lingers. Because Judy is still out there. And I know she's not done. She never is. No matter what happens, I don't think we'll ever shake her.

As long as she thinks there's a chance with Jayden, it will always be the same.

I lie back down, closing my eyes again. I just want to forget it all. I want to focus on Jayden, on our family, on the life we're building.

I turn in bed, staring at the ceiling in the jet again, trying to block out the swirling thoughts. The soft hum of the plane's engines doesn't help me sleep. Neither does the lingering dizziness or headache. But it's not just the physical stuff keeping me awake. It's the memories of being pregnant.
