the tears that are threatening to o verwhelm me.  I’ve done enough crying over this man. 
    “Stella’s moving out today.” 
    That grabbed my attention. 
    He notices and carries on.   “Dad’s found her somewhere to live and he’s moving her in shortly—if he hasn’t already.  He’s told her that although he will care for the baby and provide for it, he doesn’t feel anything for her, so she has to leave.  I should imagine she will be there by now.  He’s paid for it of course.  You know dad, he’s generous to a fault.  I think he feels he has to for the baby.” 
    I shift uncomfortably in my seat.  “You know this doesn’ t change anything, Matthew.” 
    He p uts his hands up, “I’m not saying it does.  Of course things are different now.  Quite frankly it pisses me off, but I’m glad she’s out the house at least.” 
    I get up remembering I have hous eguests.  “Where are my manners?  You guys want a drink?”  They nod their heads and I make my way to grab them a soda.  They stay chatting for a little while and it’s nice to see and hear how great things are going on between the both of them.
    “I’m meeting their parents this weekend.”  He visibly cringes.  He’s obviously very nervous about that prospect.  
    I reach out and squeeze his hand.  “I’m sure they will love you just as much as we do , Matthew.  You have nothing to worry about.”  I look over to Cindy for some support and she nods her head. 
    “I’m sure they will do , too,” she smiles.
     
    When they leave it’s after five o’clock and I know Jessie will be home soon, eager to get ready for her date.  I’m busy in the kitchen making pasta when she walks in the door.  I’m stirring the tagliatelle when I feel her presence in the kitchen.  “Hey Jessie, how was work?”  She doesn’t answer and I wonder what the hell is going on.  I turn to see her staring at me.  She looks worried. 
    “We have company, ” was all she said. 
    My stomach drops as I wonder if it ’s Jake, but instead my mother appears from behind the door.  I really don’t need this. 
    “I’ll go and leave you two to s ome privacy.” 
    I quickly jump, “No, Jessie, please stay.  Whatever my mum has to say, she can say it in front of you, too.” 
    “Ana , darling, please, you’re being silly.  I know I’ve hurt you, but there’s no need for this.  Can’t we talk alone?” 
    I shake my head, “No, Mum, we can’t.  I don’t want you here.  You up and left without so much as a goodbye.  Why did you do it, Mum, and why have you come back?” 
    “I missed you and I missed Jake.  It was wrong of me to leave , and when I found out I was pregnant I had to come back.” 
    My stomach churns as her words hit my heart.  The situation after she left was bad, but now it’s even worse.  I’m going to have a brother or sister, and Jake is the father.  It can’t get much more Deliverance than this.  We should be sitting on the Jerry show rather than standing in Jessie’s kitchen.  It’s all kinds of messed up. 
    “Mum, I’m 23 years of age now and old enough to live my life.  I’m fed up with the way you change your mind from one man to the next.  I’ve had enough.  I’m done.” 
    She looks visibly shocked.  “Ana, please.  I want to be able to speak with you without such anger in your tone of voice.  Look, I know it’s your birthday—that’s why I’m here.  I bought you a gift, look.” 
    She hands me a li ttle wrapped package.  I refuse to take it.  She places it on the side.
    “Maybe you can open it later , once you’ve calmed down a little.” 
    “Nothing about this whole situation is very calming , Mum.”  She looks at me again horrified.
    “Why are you so angry?  It’s not like you haven’t been through this before.  I came back , didn’t I?  What’s the big deal?” 
    I can’t believe her at times.   “The big deal?!” I stutter.  “How can you say
