Secret Baby

by Sofia T Summers

It was my duty to my country that tore us apart.

But I’m back to make things right again.

Jessie took my breath away the moment I saw her in college.

She was so mine.

But I knew I had to leave for a SEAL mission.

And I didn’t have the heart to say goodbye to her.

It was just a year-long mission.

Until it wasn’t.

We were torn apart for way longer than I’d expected.

Long enough for her to keep a secret from me.

I missed her sweet lips.

Her intoxicating smile.

And I had to have her again.

So I returned, wishing that fate was on my side.

On our side.

And hoping that her little secret doesn’t destroy our second chance.
