003. Ends
Aeryn waved at Samantha as her father took her away for the day. Her ex smiled at her, and she scowled at him. How dare he, after what he’d done?
Aeryn sat in the hospital bed, cradling her newborn baby girl. In walked the love of her life, the man she was going to marry soon, the father of her child, carrying a huge bunch of flowers. She smiled at him, and put the baby in her cot.
“Hey baby,” she said, unable to keep the grin from her face. He didn’t seem to share the feeling. “Isn’t she gorgeous?” Aeryn asked. Finally, he smiled.
“Yeah. Listen, Aeryn,” he said, handing her the flowers. The tone of his voice made her look up, confused.
“What?”
“I’ve been thinking - really hard - for a while now, and I just, well, I just don’t think we can do this anymore.” Aeryn sat for a minute, unable to speak.
“Can’t do what?” she asked eventually.
“This. Us. I can’t be with you any more Aeryn. I’m breaking off the engagement.”
“But…the baby,” Aeryn whispered.
“Is still mine, and I still want to see her all the time. But I can’t be with you.”
“You bastard!” Aeryn screamed. He turned and walked away, and she threw the flowers at him. Her baby started screaming.
