Sneak Peek: May I "Ch 29"

I don't usually give sneak peeks . . . but since this chapter is taking longer than I thought to write . . . I thought it would be nice to give a little peek to what I could possibly be stirring up :)

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang again. This time, Corbin stood there with a bag and a pink blanket in hand. “You might need this.” Slipping the bag over her shoulder, he handed her the blanket. “Good luck.” And for a second time, he turned on his heels and disappeared.

“Thanks.” Closing the door, Sophie grabbed the blanket and tried to hold both the blanket and doll in her hand, but the blanket ended up falling to the ground. Hearing her grunt to pick it up, she toddled around with her hands full.

It started to dawn on her that she was now really responsible for this little girl, who had happily started turning around in circles in her living room. And really, her smile was contagious because Gillian began abruptly laughing, before coughing even harder than she had this morning.

Quickly dawning on her, she realized that with everything going on—that she had forgotten to take her antibiotics that she had gotten this morning. Getting up, she felt slightly light-headed as she stood, then went into the kitchen. Her hand shook as she grabbed a glass and filled it up with water.

At that moment, she was beginning to hate that Cal was right about Sophie deserving a mother that could always be there for her.  Swallowing down the pill, she could literally feel her energy draining as she set the glass down and walked back over to the couch.

As she unzipped the bag, there was a change of clothes on top of some toys. Knowing that Sophie hadn’t changed since she had arrived, Gillian took her upstairs to put on the extra clothes. When they came back downstairs, she almost missed her phone ringing and muffled in her purse.

When she checked the caller ID, she didn’t recognize the number; but she answered anyway. “Gillian Foster.” There was no response, other than the occasionally words that she could make out from a TV in the background. “Hello?” When she was about to hang up, was when she got a response.

“Gillian. Hi, it’s Emily.” Gillian immediately picked up that her voice sounded distracted, although attempting to be upbeat. “How’s Sophie?” 


And there you have it. Your sneak peek of the next chapter. I'm hoping the next part of this chapter will follow soon. Au Revoir!
