months pregnant she was and explained she wanted him to go with her to the next appointment. He could tell something was wrong but was too afraid to ask her about it. He promised he would go.
    Susan was starting to call on him more and more to help with the baby. She could tell he and his son were starting to bond and she decided to take advantage of it. If she could not get him with sex, then she was more than willing to use their son.
    When Monica was to go to the doctor for her three-month check-up, Susan called upon Ken to watch little Kenneth. He explained that he couldn’t do it because he had an appointment of his own he had to keep.
    He dared not tell her about Monica and the baby. He told her to take the baby with her or get someone else. She could not find anyone so she took him with her to her doctor’s appointment.
    Ken took Monica to her appointment as promised. They knew Marci was excited about the baby so they brought her along. While at the doctor’s they heard the baby’s heartbeat and learned everything was going well.
    As they were leaving the doctor’s office, Ken was shocked to see Susan sitting in the waiting room with the baby. She did not see him because she was bending over trying to get the baby from his car seat.
    Praying that Susan wouldn’t see him, he hurried ahead of Monica and Marci and nearly shut the door in their faces. He was so busy hurrying out the door that he didn’t hear Monica call out to him.
    As she approached the door she called his name again and told him to get Marci’s hand. When Susan heard the names Ken and Marci she automatically looked up and saw her lover hurrying out.
    For the first time, she was nervous and uncomfortable. Here was her opportunity to let Monica know about her, Ken, and the baby. She decided that she was going to say something. She put the baby back into the car seat. As soon as she stood up and started walking in their direction, the nurse called her to come to the back.
    She didn’t know what to do. It had taken her quite some time to secure this appointment so she wanted to follow the nurse, but couldn’t help but wonder why Ken, his wife, and their daughter were at the Women’s OBGYN Center together. Then suddenly it hit her. Monica must be pregnant.
    She started to feel nauseated and almost lost her balance and dropped the car seat holding her baby. The nurse asked if she was okay and told her to sit down.
    For some strange reason she thought Ken and his wife were not intimate. She felt jealous and betrayed. After all, she had just given birth to his son and was starting to feel as if the three of them were bonding and becoming a family.
    How could he do this to me again? I’m the one he loves, not her. Monica is not going to get away with stealing my man or my baby’s daddy, she thought.
    As soon as her doctor’s appointment was over she called Ken on his cell phone. When it went to voicemail she was upset. She called his phone at least ten times trying to get him to answer. Each time it went right to voicemail.
    The last time it went to his voicemail she decided to leave him a message.
    “I saw you and her at the doctor’s office. I know you saw your son and me. I just have one question for you: is she pregnant? I thought we were starting to become a family and now you have betrayed me yet again.
    “Well this time you used up your last chance to make things right with your son and me. I’m going to tell your wife about us.
    “Since you screwed up my life I figure I can even the playing field by screwing up yours. Remember, you’ll always be a part of my life whether you like it or not. We are soul mates and we are meant to be together.”
    After leaving this message Susan looked at little Kenneth and told him not to worry because his daddy would be in their lives no matter what. She wasn’t sure when she was going to contact Monica but she had her mind made up that this is what she was going to do.
    Later that day Ken listened to
