My Husband Cheated with My Bully

First Ultrasound

Well the day was here. She was going to see her baby for the first time! Willow was so excited. She was also super depressed as this was not how she would have imagined it. Willow sighed heavily looking at the divorce papers sitting on the kitchen table where they had been sitting for two days since Rowan dropped them off. She snatched them up along with her purse and headed out for the car.

This was going to be awkward, her parents were also coming to the ultrasound. Which Willow thought was odd as well, her mother yeah that was normal. Her father not so much, she didn’t understand what was going on here. Willow had her appointment with the doctor right after, and the plan was for her father give Knox the divorce papers when she went back to the doctors.

Willow was excited to see her baby for the first time, but always imagined the reality would be different. She imagine that her husband would be beside her, not getting served divorce papers.

Everyone simply met at her doctors office and to say it was awkward would be an understatement. Her mom was doing her best to make it as normal as possible. It seemed that her mother was finally clued in. Her name was finally called back after the longest time of sitting in awkward silence.

They all walked back into a room with a doctors chair, a weird machine next to it then a long bench next to the doctor chair. There was a large plasma screen tv across from the doctors chair.

“Okay we need a urine sample.” The tech handed her a cup and showed her the enclosed bathroom. Willow went back to do her business and heard the tech talking with her parents.

“Yeah it’s our first grand baby! We are excited.” Her mother’s voice could be heard. Willow put the cup on the slot and flushed the toilet.

“I bet the dad is super excited.” Willow turned on the sink and washed her hands so she wasn’t able to hear Knox’s answer. Willow came out and sat on the chair, the tech had her lift her shirt and pulled down her pants. The tech situated her on the chair, it took a minute and Willow was uncomfortable but it would be worth it to see her baby. The tech got gel and put it on her stomach, it was nice and warm.

“It’s not cold like in the movies,” Willow commented as the tech rolled the wand around clearly looking for the baby.

“No we keep ours in a warmer…and there he or she is.” Willow looked on the screen and there it was, her precious little baby. The thing that has kept her going throughout this entire s**t show of a life. Her baby. Then as she was mesmerized by the baby the tech turned the volume on. She heard a whooshing sound.The baby’s heartbeat. She started to cry, She couldn’t help it.

L “The heartbeat is normal, and as far as I can tell everything looks normal, but that’s up for the doctor to look at. She will give you the due date.” The tech checked on a few other things and took some pictures for her that she gave one to Knox. Willow kept the rest. The tech quickly wrapped it up by wiping the gel off her stomach. Willow got up and buttoned her pants.

“The doctor will call you back soon for your appointment.” The tech told her and guided everyone back to the waiting room. Willow nodded and went back to the waiting room for the doctor to call her back.

“I’ll text you the due date,” she told Knox and walked away from him. Yes it was extremely awkward as her husband, soon to be ex-husband tried to hug her. She deliberately kept her gaze away from her husband as the baby was up on the monitor. She just focused on the baby.

…

Willow was back in the doctors office where she had her blood pressure checked and was waiting patiently for her OB/GYN. She was a nice woman who she had seen since she was sixteen.

“I hear some one is pregnant!“ her doctor came in with all smiles. Doctor Rayas smile was infectious, which made Willow smile as well. “I’m so excited for you and your husband! Where is he?”

“He had to go back to work,” Willow really wasn’t ready to tell her that she was splitting up with him yet. Her doctor looked at the ultrasound on the computer. “Oh that stinks, well everything looks good. Strong heartbeat. Fetus is well developed for this stage. I’m going to put the due date at February 24th.” Willow was so excited at that moment, she wanted to tell everyone! Her doctor went ahead and told her that the next appointment would be in four weeks. The next sonogram would be at twenty weeks and generally that’s when you find out the s*x of the baby.

“One last thing, you need to go down to the lab for blood work.”

“What blood work?” Willow asked confused.

“Anytime there is a pregnancy we check for HIV, and STI’s to make sure that it doesn’t spread to the baby.” Her doctor told her and Willow froze. s**t she didn’t think of that. Her husband had been having an affair for months. God only knows what Regina could have and what he could have given her.

Willow was waiting for her blood draw when she received a message.

Memphis: how was the appointment?

Willow felt her cheeks turn red. They had each other’s numbers, but she never texted Memphis cause it felt inappropriate.

Me: soooo long.

Memphis: the first one is. I bet Knox is going nuts.

Me: ummm he left after the ultrasound.

.

There was a pause in his texting.

Memphis: I bet it was great seeing the little bean.

Willow smiled again and quickly sent him the picture the tech gave her of the baby. She also included the due date, which she hadn’t texted Knox like she said she would.

“Steele,” some one called her name. When she married she decided to become a hyphen so they normally called out just her maiden name. Willow got up and forgot about Messaging Knox for the time being. She’d do it later.

Knox

Memphis throwing his s**t on his parents front lawn started his week from hell. His parents were furious at him for cheating on his pregnant wife. Then he went into work on Monday and was called into Mr. Silverton’s office. Mr. Silverton told him that he didn’t appreciate being lied to, but given his marriage to his daughters good friend he wouldn’t fire him. Knox left his office knowing that he was in hot water at work. He had to get his s**t together. Knox stayed at his parents house, knowing that his brother wouldn’t let him stay with him.

Knox searched for a divorce attorney, which was hard given the fact that his father-in-law was an attorney. Knox took the entire day off as he had an appointment with his attorney after the ultrasound.

Seeing his child up on that monitor was the happiest moment in his life, the second being marrying his wife. Knox was an i***t for sleeping with Regina. It ruined his life, and it was his own fault. When the ultrasound was was over Knox was more than aware he wasn’t welcome at the appointment. So he walked out and was walking to his car his father-in-law was walking with him.

“Here,” his father-in-law gave him papers and Knox knew they were the divorce papers. Knox took them without a word and walked to his car quickly reading over them.

“What?!” That woman wants that house and alimony? She must be crazy! She isn’t getting any of this.

…

Knox went to his lawyers appoint and gave him the run down of what had happened after assurance of attorney/client confidentiality. His lawyer read the the papers he was handed throughly then looked him in the eyes.

“So you married the new District Attorney’s Tim Steele?” Knox nodded his head. “And you cheated on her? I’m assuming she has proof.”

“I have no idea.”

“She’s Steele’s daughter, I guarantee that she does.” His lawyer stated and Knox was silent and started reading the paper one more time. His lawyer sighed heavily,

“I suggest you sign them.” The lawyer tossed them on the desk.

“What? You can’t be serious? I’m getting f****d here! Also I don’t want a divorce, I want to reconcile.” His lawyer stared at him and just started laughing. Knox was furious.

“Oh your serious? Sorry. Look as your lawyer my job is to give you sound advice so here it is. Your wife is being more than fair here. You had a six month long affair. Then looking at your finances you make almost three times the amount she does which is why she’s asking for alimony. In most cases it’s for five years, she’s only asking for two. The amount she is asking for is more than fair given your salary. That’s fair. The house in most cases the woman gets it when you have kids without even considering a buy out, so that is beyond fair and to be honest I’ve never seen that even when a spouse doesn’t cheat. Child support is more than fair given your income. So I suggest you sign it.” Knox paused for a few minutes.

“I want to take this to the courts.” He said stubbornly and his lawyer sighed again.

“That’s entirely up to you, I’m getting paid, but if you do that I guarantee you will be a lot worse for you.”

“What do you mean?” Knox was confused.

“These are your wife’s terms, the judge, who I guarantee knows your wife’s father and he will be there the day in court could make things harsher for you. Not to mention your wife’s lawyer, Cohen, who as I can tell by looking at the document drafted this by himself.”

“What does that have to do with anything?” Knox asked confused and his lawyer sighed.

“If you go to trial again Cohen then you will really be f****d. So once again I suggest you sign.”

“But-“

“Go home and sleep on it for a couple of days. Let me know. As I said I get paid either way.”

Knox went back to his parents house and groaned when he saw his brother was there. He didn’t want to deal with that asshole today. His parents were still mad at him for what he did, but they were excited for the baby.

“Hey honey, how was the appointment? A February baby! I’m so excited for the baby shower.”

“Yeah me too mom,” Knox started, but then he realized that he didn’t tell his mom the due date. Willow didn’t text him the due date at all.

“Mom did Willow text you the due date?” Knox asked and his mom gave him an odd look.

“No Memphis told me when we were talking earlier, I assumed you told him.” Memphis! He didn’t tell His brother, that meant Willow did. All Knox felt was jealousy at know his brother and wife were talking behind his back. Knox went looking for his brother and found him talking to his dad.

“What the hell are you doing talking to my wife?” Knox asked furious and his brother just sat there with a smirk on his face.

“Don’t you mean your soon to be ex-wife?” Knox was even more enraged at hearing his smug reply. Knox got in his face,

“You stay away from her!”

“You get out of my face,” Memphis gave him a bit of a shove and stood up. “You are the biggest i***t I’ve ever seen Knox. You threw away the most amazing woman I’ve ever met for a cheap imitation, now you have to deal with the fallout. That includes her moving on with another man.”

“Memphis don’t tell me your interested in your sister-in-law!” His father yelled at the two of them.

“You know what even if I was, she wouldn’t give me a second look as she was too in love with your dumb ass, I’m going to spend time with my son,” Memphis stomped off. Knox smiled at hearing Willow didn’t look at him, but during dinner Knox realized something. Memphis never answered their father stating he wasn’t Interested in Willow. Knox decided not to say anything at the current time as he had things to figure out.
