This was my purpose. This was my destiny.
I stood on the front porch and rubbed my belly as the mailman walked up with a smile.
“You’re about to pop.”
“I know. I can’t wait.”
“Boy or girl?”
“Girl.”
“I have two daughters. You picked out a name yet?”
“Yes. China.”
He smiled, handed me my mail and walked away.
I’d decided to name her China because of Joel and his love that he’d had for her. And somewhat as a token of mine too, despite some of the things that she did.
I missed them both, I really did.
Looking through the stack, it didn’t appear to be anything important and then something caught my eye.
It was a postcard.
From Hawaii.
My heart skipped a beat, and my hands started to shake as I flipped it over and attempted to read the small writing.
“Congratulations on the baby Hannah. Pregnancy really does look good on you. Well, I just wanted to say that it looks like you fixed me after all, considering that I’m in Hawaii, and I left you “alive” in Sacramento. Yes, I’ve known where you were for months, but the urge is gone.
P.S. You didn’t really think that I was dead, did you? Don’t ever forget what I taught you. People and Papers lie. No one can ever truly be trusted. Not even the man holding the gun. Ever heard of bean bag rounds? Goodbye Hannah.
Your Brother,
“Blake”
The End.
