Lost and Found Ch. 14

... side of the conversation.

Candy turned to Daniel, looking relieved. "They found evidence on Steve's laptop, messages, emails, some pictures and they think that it's enough to be able to get a conviction," she explained, smiling widely as she realized she might finally be able to put that chapter of her life behind her once and for all.

"That's amazing news!" Daniel exclaimed, pulling Candy tightly to his chest and kissing her on the forehead.

"Yeah it is," Candy replied, "I can't wait for all of this to be behind us so that we can finally move on and forget all about him." She suddenly looked scared and anxious, body tensing up in her son's arms. "There is something else I wanted to talk to you about though Daniel, something serious."

"Okay, what is it?" Daniel asked apprehensively.

"I... I was waiting until you were finished with work to tell you, but I missed my period," Candy answered, voice trembling slightly. "I thought it just might be late, but it's been a few days now and I'm worried that I might be pregnant."

"But what if I am?" Candy asked, panic in her eyes as she clutched Daniel close to her. "You're too young to be having a baby, especially with your mother of all people."

"You were around my age when you had me," Daniel pointed out.

"And look how that turned out," Candy replied.

"Fair point." Silence hung in the air. "So what? You'd want to get rid of it?"

Candy wrung her hands, stress taking over her. "I... I don't know." They both sat there for a moment, lost in their own thoughts, unable to process what was happening. "I had you and left you behind, we lost years of our relationship together. I'm so happy we are together again now, but I don't think I could give up another child, I really don't. It would be like giving up a second chance to be a real mum, y'know?"
