Decision
The sound of the baby’s cry stirred Chantal from her daze.
She looked at the crib where Wyatt was and wondered when she would feel the so-called mother’s love. She thought it would just immediately come out as soon as she birthed the child. She thought that the moment she would see her son, she would fall head over heels for him. Her mom told her that her love for her son would grow as days go by as she gets to know him. But why is it that even now, she doesn't feel that so-called warmth whenever she looks at him.
All she saw is a small body who does nothing but drink milk, cry, sleep, poop and pee.
Perhaps it’s because he reminds her of Henry. His facial features are so similar to him. He’s like a mini version of Henry. But instead of good memories, she would remember the times he cheated on her, the video he was in, the death of her dad. It’s all the more reason why she can’t look at the child with loving eyes.
