What I never expected was for Maggie to turn up pregnant three months later.
I was stunned when I heard the news. I immediately contacted the seller I had bought the drug from and demanded an explanation.
The person on the other end answered in a high-pitched voice.
“That’s not possible. This isn’t some regular sterilization drug. If a man takes too much of it, he’ll start to…”
What they said next almost made me laugh.
It also confirmed one thing beyond any doubt.
Dad couldn’t get anyone pregnant anymore.
So then whose baby was Maggie carrying?
Dad was over the moon at the idea of finally having a son this late in life.
He had the master bedroom completely redone to match Maggie’s taste. Then he even insisted Jenna move into my room.
“Maggie says Jenna’s scared to sleep alone, so she’ll stay with you.”
Maggie stroked her still-flat stomach and gave me a challenging smile.
“You don’t mind, do you, Skyla?”
I smiled back.
“Of course not. Once you give birth to my little brother, we’ll all be one big family.”
Dad was delighted to see us getting along so well. He couldn’t stop smiling and announced that the whole family would go out for dinner that night.
When I returned to my room, Jenna was standing in front of the mirror, trying on a pair of my burgundy heels.
She grinned when she saw me.
“These are gorgeous. You don’t mind if I borrow them, do you?”
Mom had given me those shoes for my eighteenth birthday.
They were the last gift she had ever given me.
I treasured them so much that I had never even worn them.
I couldn’t hold back any longer.
My expression darkened.
“Take them off.”
Jenna sneered.
“So the second your dad isn’t around, you drop the act?”
Then she kicked hard at the full-length mirror.
The delicate heel snapped instantly, and the mirror shattered with a deafening crash.
I froze.
A moment later, hurried footsteps sounded behind me.
Maggie came upstairs on Dad’s arm. The instant she saw Jenna, she covered her mouth and her eyes filled with tears.
“Jenna, why is there blood all over your leg? Are you hurt?”
Jenna clutched her bleeding calf and began to cry.
“I’m sorry, Skyla. I shouldn’t have tried on your shoes. Please don’t blame Mom for this.”
The broken heel had been tossed aside.
It looked exactly as though I had lost my temper and smashed the shoe against the mirror.
Dad frowned at me in disappointment.
“Skyla Jasper, I really thought you’d finally grown up. I never expected you to act one way in front of me and another behind my back.”
I instinctively tried to explain.
“She was the one who...”
“Enough!” Dad shouted. “You always have an excuse. You’re clearly determined to keep this family from ever getting along.”
I fell silent.
Dad made a phone call, then pointed toward my closet.
“Pack your things. You’re already an adult, so you can move out.
“I’ve arranged a place for you to stay. Unless there’s an emergency, don’t come back. Maggie needs a peaceful pregnancy, and she can’t afford to get upset.”
I nodded.
“Fine. I’ll leave.”
I looked straight at him.
“But I’m taking one thing with me.”
