second guessing,

[nicolette rae troyer]

Eight years ago, Brooklyn Troyer entered into the world. Four years later came Romeo, and lastly two years after that came Cruz. Those three boys meant the world to both Rex, and Nicolette. Nothing they wouldn’t do for them. It started when the middle child Romeo was born that Nicolette noticed something wasn’t right. However, figured it was nothing and ignored it. Then when Cruz came along, it just got worse. Postpartum depression seemed to be taking over, not to mention that the marriage between Rex and herself came to an end shortly after their last son was born. It was just one thing after another and then Nic finally snapped, showing a side of herself to her sons that even she had no idea where it came from. Moving out seemed like the best thing to do, and so she did. She got a cheap apartment, and saw her sons once in a while. It killed her being away from them for such long periods of time. She was scared something like that would happen again, even though she is better, she got help, and has been doing great. However, there was always that thought in the back of her mind.

The relationship between Rex and Nic, is along one. They knew each other through one friend that was close to both of them back in high school. Gone out, the chemistry between the two was there from the start, but they weren’t good together if that made any sense. They got under each other’s skin to much, drove each other to irritation which lead to arguments, yelling, things that their children did not need to deal with. Once Nic moved out, the divorced final, she no longer taking care of the children all the time. Nic got her act together, fighting the depression, and wanted her life back. Numerous times that Nic had gone over to see the kids, and ended up in bed with her ex husband. Leaving her children confused, and so was she. No doubt that she still loved Rex, but she knew it wouldn’t work. Just like it hadn’t worked before. A few days ago, Nicolette went to the doctor and found out that she was three weeks pregnant; it would be real fun telling Rex that.

Nic didn’t understand him, he could have any girl out there that he wanted, yet he wanted his ex wife? Turns out that he still loved her, they just didn’t mesh well, which she already knew that. She talked to him through aim, and told him about being pregnant. It wasn’t the best thing in the world, but it happened. So now they had to deal with it, and hope that when the baby is born, she doesn’t go back to how she was with the depression. Rex had told her to come to the house, to see the kids, and probably about everything else. That’s just want she did, walked up the few small steps rang the doorbell twice, and waited. The door drew back and there was Romeo behind the door, his lips curved into one big smile, his eyes lighting up as if it were Christmas morning. “Mommy!” Didn’t even make it into the door before he was in her arms, "Hey buddy, I missed you." with that she picked him up, walked into the house, closing the door behind her. Wasn’t long before Brooklyn, and Cruz were there too. Putting Romeo back down on his feet, she then pulled all three into a big hug. This was what she missed the most, her family. Cruz tried not to get knocked down by the other two, so Nic scooped him up into her arms, as the other two boys wanted to show her either things that had to do with school for Brooklyn or Romeo that wanted to show her whatever cool toy he had now. It was nice, and brought a smile to her lips. Rex was there too, but she was to busy being pulled off in different directions to say even a simple hi.
