I spent years dreaming of this baby \u2014 until I told my husband, and he asked if it was too late to undo it. Days later, his mother said, \u201cIf it\u2019s a girl, you\u2019ll have to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aiden grew colder each day. No excitement, no warmth \u2014 just silence. Then one afternoon, I came home early and heard him with his mother.
\u201cHow could you let her get pregnant?\u201d she hissed.
\u201cI was going to leave her,\u201d he said. \u201cVeronica doesn\u2019t want kids \u2014 she\u2019s perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Veronica. His mistress.<\/p>\n

They planned to break me. But I didn\u2019t cry \u2014 I planned.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone,\u201d I smiled, \u201ctoday\u2019s reveal is special. Veronica will cut the cake.\u201d<\/p>\n

She sliced it open \u2014 no pink, no blue. Red.
Inside was my wedding ring.<\/p>\n

I held it up. \u201cYou forgot this.\u201d Then I slid divorce papers across the table.
\u201cAnd Gloria,\u201d I added, \u201cyou don\u2019t have grandchildren anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

I placed my hand on my belly.
\u201cBecause it\u2019s a girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

And I walked out \u2014 finally free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
