Thrown Alone Into The Wolf's Den I Now Have A Partner To Hold My Hand

I went to law school to make a difference. I never expected to wake up pregnant. I hate being under a microscope about my behavior. After birth I hired a night nurse, he hired a night nurse. She came up pregnant, same baby daddy. No one told me that any fertile female in the house is open season. The last few months have forced me to confront what I believed was social rhetoric, I didn't believe it was real.

I'm not excusing what has happened to me, an overbearing male is an overbearing male. Rather than fight my competition for male resources we've made a pact to pursue them together. She's showing now, an unmistakable baby bump and I can't keep my hands away from her. My baby's little brother.

What happens behind closed doors becomes obvious when you become a mother. Now that one baby's in the stroller and the next baby is in the oven I can't focus on working, other than taking care of my baby and wasting the day away with the other mother. If this is God's plan to teach us a lesson, or fortuitous fortune to be paired at the hip with her, we cannot understand how we've been brought together.

One day perhaps, some day in the future, we'll see this happening as normal. Adjusted to life together, making more babies, and washing dishes. I feared nightfall beside a man alone at his disposal. We now share our burden together.
