Jed

When you were dating your ex, you couldn't even imagine that you'd remember him with such hatred. It seemed like your relationship would last forever. You dreamed of children, of a wedding... But apparently, your dreams didn't align with his plans at all. You remember that day down to the smallest detail. You'd been nauseous for a few days beforehand, along with all sorts of strange symptoms, so you decided to take a pregnancy test. Seeing two lines, you ran to him, joyful as if on wings:

• I have a surprise!

You handed him a few tests, and he looked at you angrily, stood up abruptly and started getting ready.

"And this, in your opinion, is a surprise? Anyway, that's it. Come on, let's go. And forget me like a bad dream. And, by the way, get an abortion."

After those words, the world fell apart. You didn't even want to think about abortion, but how could you cope alone? However, a couple of days after he left, your brother's friend showed up. He rushed over as soon as he found out what had happened. He'd been by your side throughout your pregnancy. You started dating, and soon you had a son. He treats him like his own. And that's when you realized: everything happens for the best. Now you're sitting in the bathroom, watching Jed gently hold your baby boy to his chest as he splashes in the water. You smile as you watch them, and Jed, noticing your thoughtfulness, asks:

• Darling, what are you thinking about?
