ELEIA’S POV
—
Time has flown by and here I am, laying with a new little bundle of joy in my arms, trying my best not to bawl my eyes out with how alone I feel, even if Penelope is here, holding me, the tears won't stop flowing from my eyes...The rest of my body is calm, but it's like a numb feeling pushing the tears out.
"Why are you crying?" Penelope smiles at me, her hand dragging over my hair continuously. "I wish he were here." I breathe out and it's like my chest collapses and I struggle to inhale a breath.
"Hey, it's okay. He's on his way." Penelope tries to comfort me, but he was on his way for an hour now and I already gave birth...What's the use?
"I know." I force a smile, but I feel empty inside, it's been two months and we've barely spoken, he came to visit two weekends out
