Forgetting is hard to

past revisits her? With Jose still being out there, will
Tori and her son ever
be truly safe?
Excerpt:
Two years had passed since
Sebastian Chelios had died. Two years
since being told that Jose
Alvarez was still out there. And two years since I was told
I was pregnant.
Pregnant with Sebastian’s
baby.
God, who knew that that would
happen?
A result of my forgetfulness of taking
the pill. But it was well worth it when I looked into the
eyes of my baby.
Sebastian’s baby. Our
child.
I tried to forget. But the calendar on
the wall beckoned like a tease, and my eyes darted to the
dreaded numbers. My
mind went back to those horrible couple of
days.
It was like a bad horror movie in my
mind. Jose kidnapping me. Sebastian showing up. Us both
shot. The blur of the
hospital. My lover. Dead. Doctors and nurses in my face.
Then news of the
pregnancy. My head whirled when I got sucked into my
thoughts. Real, as if it
was yesterday. Realizing I would have to raise a child on my
own.
But now…every day I looked at Antonio
and ached. His eyes had slipped from blue to brown, and he
reminded me so much
of
Sebastian.
His father would never see him. Never
know him.
Fresh tears filled my eyes but I shook
them off. I headed to the front door and made sure it was
locked. I looked out
the window and noticed a big black car a couple of houses
away. Relief
fluttered through me. The Feds were watching. Protecting me
and my son from
Jose.
on my
counter.
I ran up the stairs in my small two
bedroom house and headed right to my baby’s room. After
throwing the door open,
I stood there, panting, gripping my chest as my heart raced
against my rib
cage.
My son lay there, looking up at me
from his crib, a big smile on his beautiful chubby
face.
I sucked in a breath and tried to ease
the thumping in my ears. “Hi, baby. You sure like giving
your mama a heart
attack, don’t
you?”
He giggled. Yup, definitely
Sebastian’s
kid.
About The Author:
I'm
a new self-published author who just got introduced to
the writing world early 2013. My aunt suggested that I write
a story because
I'm an avid reader but I waved it off and left it alone.
Well this year, a
story came to me and I went with it. It took me a little bit
but I finally got
a story idea that worked and now I can't stop or control the
characters/stories
that keep popping up in my
head.
I'm born and raised in Canada and I live with my very
wonderful
and supportive husband, Michael. We don't have any children
(yet) unless you
count our two cats. He's been my rock through this whole new
experience for me.
I couldn't have done it without him and my friends and
family.
One of the many things I love about this new chapter in my
life is that I'm learning constantly. It's never a dull
moment and as long as
one person likes my story, I am
happy.
