life goes on (completed)

a mother knows

Pam's POV

"Did he finally go down?"

My Mom asked as I walked out of Carter's nursery.

"Yeah. He was really cranky tonight for some reason."

I said as I ran my hand through my hair.

"Probably just had a rough day. I'm sure he's happy that his Mommy is back."

My Mom said as I smiled.

"I've missed them too. I can't wait till Aaron and I's little one is here. Then we're gonna be a big happy family."

I said as I wrapped my arm around my stomach and looked down.

"Pam? What's that bruise on your cheek?"

My Mom asked as she put her hand on my bruise.

"It's um..."

"Pam, did Aaron do this to you?"

My Mom asked.

"It was an accident. He didn't mean it."

"Pamela don't make excuses for him. He shouldn't have laid his hands on you."

"But Mom I love him. And he loves me too."

"Someone who truly loves you would never put his hands on you."

"Fergal put his hands on me."

"And maybe he truly doesn't love you. Fergal and Aaron are not your only options for true love. Fergal told you that he stopped loving you the second you died and Aaron is showing you that he truly doesn't love you. Please just protect yourself, the kids, and that little baby in you. I don't want to see any of you hurt because of those two."

My Mom said as I nodded.

"I love you Mom. Thanks for looking out for me."

I said as I hugged her. Maybe I should leave Aaron. Maybe I shouldn't. My mind is just a mess right now.
