Greg looked away.
“You can’t get pregnant. How is that my
brother’s fault?”
く
Karen was furious.
“Maybe Greg’s the one who can’t have kids.”
“You!” Greg’s face turned red.
He wanted to argue, but he couldn’t.
“Argue with me. Show me the proof,” I said.
But he just pointed his finger, afraid to say
anything.
I used to think I was the one who couldn’t get
pregnant.
Back then, we hadn’t fought like we do now.
Brittany was just a thorn in his side.
Г
We were close, so in love.
But after two years, I never got pregnant,
even though we weren’t trying.
I was worried it was me, so I went to the
doctor.
Then I saw Greg at the doctor’s office.
I was going to say hi, but I stopped when I

Grandma read them and hit Greg on the back.
“What have you done?”
Greg stood there, looking at me in disbelief.
He didn’t think I’d find out.

He probably thought he was so smart.
He couldn’t believe I, someone he looked
down on, could trick him.
“Did you ever think, if you had my baby,
would you have raised it right?”
“You’re not good enough now, but I didn’t
want to hurt you. Now you’re blaming me?”
Even now, he was still putting me down.
Did he want me to cry and tell him I was
sorry?
I was so done. I didn’t want to act with Greg
anymore.
“I’m so tired, Greg.”
Г
“If you want to act, do it yourself.”
“I’m going to file for divorce. I’ll see you in
court.”
