I blinked a couple of times before saying anything.

“Dadda?” I repeated as a question “Please tell me that is your little brother” I said praying that I wasn’t seeing what I thought I was seeing. Landon bent over and picked up the little boy.

“Lacey this is my son Evan” he sighed bouncing Evan on his hip as Evan laid his head on Landon’s shoulder. I took a step backwards unable to breathe, I could feel the color drain from my face.

“Mom!” Landon shouted over is shoulder. Mrs. Perry came to the door and Landon handed Evan to her. “Take him inside please” he whispered, Mrs. Perry nodded giving me an I’m-sorry smile. I turned and started walking as I heard Landon shut the door behind him.

“Lacey?” he sounded concerned “Please say something”

But couldn’t I was literally speechless; I mean how could he keep something like this from me for almost 4 months. I felt as if I was going to be sick. I didn’t know what to do so I just started walking down the street.

“Lacey please stop, we need to talk about this” he pleaded. I turned and found that he was right behind me and nearly bumped into him.

“We needed to talk about this 4 months ago” I said trying to keep the tears from coming.

“I’m sorry” he whispered trying to wrap his arms around me but I stepped back out of his reach and wrapped my own arms around myself. I heard a crash of thunder and felt a few specks of rain fall onto my head.

“I need sometime Landon” I told him truthfully, he had a son and it changed everything.

“Lacey please let me explain” he pleaded trying to keep tears from his own face.

“I need to think” I said finally looking him in the eye seeing his own turn glossy. I walked to my car and got in just before it really started to pour. I looked in the rear view mirror as I pulled away. Landon just stood there in the rain not caring that he was getting soaked. Now that I was alone I let the tears fall. What had he thought? Did he think he could just keep this from me forever? The rain poured harder and my tears came down faster making seeing difficult and I knew that this was not a situation that I wanted to be in. I pulled the car over to the side of the road and cried. I unbuckled my seat belt and rested my head on the steering wheel. Evan, the name of Landon’s child, was running thought my head. The scene of Evan at Landon’s feet calling up to him played over and over in my mind. I leaned back and rested my head on seat breathing heavily. All of a sudden my body flung forward causing my head to smack on the steering wheel, I felt as if my chest was being crushed by a thousand ton brick. I was doing all I could to just get even a little air into my lungs. The front of the car smashed into something causing the car to come to a complete stop flinging me back into my seat.  My windshield smashed in, all the windows too. I could feel glass falling all around me giving me little cuts that stung. All I could think about was the pain my leg was killing me but all I could do for myself was sit there dizzy from the hit to my head. Then it went black.

“Maybe we should just get your own room here” I heard the familiar voice of my dad and a heart monitor as I came too, and I knew I was in the hospital. Again.
