Katrina's POVWe celebrated a lot of birthdays in the house!
Nathan was the first one.
He was now a teenager!
Brent was acting weird these past few weeks and every time I would ask him about it he would get angry and go outside to the punching bag.
"I don't know what to think anymore." I said sitting down next to Kaitlin.
"Maybe there is something on his mind." She said.
"There has to be, but why isn't he telling me?" I asked.
Brent walked into the room.
"Kat, can I see you? Upstairs?" He asked scratching the back of his neck.
I gave Kaitlin a nervous look before following Brent upstairs, we walked into our room as he locked the door behind him.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"First, I love you." He said.
He kissed my cheek.
"I love you too?" I said.
"I have something to tell you." He said.
"I thought so." I said.
He hesitated.
"Honey, you can tell me anything." I said.
"I lied to you, before we got married." He said.
"Lied? About what?" I asked.
I was worried, did he really not love me? Has he been pretending this whole time?
"About my age." He said.
"Are you younger?" I asked.
If he was younger, it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
"No." He said.
My heart sank.
"How much older?" I asked.
"I'm about to turn into an elder." He said.
I couldn't form a complete sentence.
"How- How could you not tell me?!" I sobbed.
"I didn't want to hurt you!" He said.
"Hurt me?!" I gaped.
"I'm sorry!" He said.
"How am I going to do this alone?!" I cried.
"Honey, Adrian is about to turn into a teenager he won't need as much help from us." He said.
"That doesn't mean he won't need his father!" I snapped.
"I know it won't, and I know this won't be easy but I'm going to be dying soon." He said.
"Oh god!" I cried.
He pulled me to the bed and we sat down, he pulled me into his arms and just let me cry it out. After a few hours of talking we decided to move on with our lives, no matter how hard it would be accepting that Brent would be leaving me.
It was time for my birthday.
And, of course, Kaitlin turned into an adult after me.
A few days later we celebrated Adrian's birthday, my little boy is a teenager now!
We bought one big birthday present for everyone.
A swimming pool!
Everyone loved it, we stayed in it all day and all night splashing each other, swimming laps, and just enjoying each others company.
Brent and I even got a little alone time.
I loved family time.
Pools were introduced today!
Now we just need toddlers!
What did you guys think about Brent's secret? Did Katrina make the right decision by staying with him?
