“Don’t tell Mom,” I said.

“She’s pregnant.” he said right in front of Mom. He pointed to me.

“He did that on purpose too. If he had kept his mouth shut you wouldn’t be here. Neither one of you would. Your dad saved your lives. You can give him credit for that.” 

If he had kept his mouth shut, like I told him to, I would have made a very different doctor’s appointment. There would be no twins to write tales about. It was the one time his bullying paid off. Ruined our relationship forever. So much for trust.

“He made the best decision even though I will always hate him for his use of underhanded tactics. He could have loved me rather than blackmailed me. Vulnerability can be plied in many ways.”

Happy Mother’s Day. Now help me plant all these flowers.
