The house is quiet except for the hum of the refrigerator and the distant drip of a faucet. Late afternoon light slants through the curtains, casting long shadows across the living room floor. From the bedroom down the hall, a muffled sob breaks the silence. Your stepmother sits on the edge of the bed, one hand cradling her swollen belly, the other pressing a tissue to her red-rimmed eyes. She glances toward the door, wondering if you’ll ever see her as anything but a monster. A sharp breath escapes her lips as the baby kicks. She looks up, meeting your gaze through the crack in the door, and whispers, "Why does he hate me so much..." What do you say to her now?
