What’s Carol doing here?”
    “She followed me here; she won’t leave me alone.”
    Quickly gaining on them was Carol.
    “Dexter Crane, I need to talk to you. I want to know what you intend to do about this!” Carol shouted loudly.
    Carmen was confused.
    “What’s she talking about Dexter? What are you going to do about what?”
    “Oh I guess he hasn’t told you; he’s going to be a father. I’m pregnant.” Carol blurted out.
    Carmen jerked away from Dexter. She couldn’t believe her ears. The affair was one thing but pregnant? How could she deal with that? This was more than she could handle. She loved Dexter immensely but didn’t know if their relationship could survive this.
    “Are you kidding me? Is that the truth Dexter; is she pregnant?” Carmen demanded to know.
    “I don’t know, I think she’s lying. I think it’s probably just another one of her schemes to break us up. Don’t listen to her Carmen, that’s what she wants. She’s trying to destroy us, don’t let her do it; don’t give her the satisfaction.” Dexter told her.
    “I’m telling you the truth; I have my results in the car. I saw a doctor this morning, I’m three weeks along. It’s Dexter’s baby.” Carol swore.
    “I want to see the paper. I don’t believe you, you’re lying! Show me the paper, now!” Dexter shouted.
    Seconds later Carol returned holding a piece of paper in her hand. She handed it to Dexter. He stared at it silently. She was positively pregnant. This had to be a nightmare. He didn’t want to have a baby with Carol, he didn’t love her.
    “What have I done? It can’t be; I don’t
    love you, I love Carmen. I’ll never love you. You were a mistake and so is this baby!”
    “Oh Dexter, how could you do this. I can’t deal with this right now. I have to go.” Carmen cried as she ran away.
    Tears were flowing uncontrollably. Carmen could barely see where she was going. In an instant her life had been turned completely upside down. Happiness was no longer in sight. Her heart felt unamendable.
    “You may think you’ve won but you haven’t. I will find a way to make this up to Carmen. I don’t want you or your baby. This doesn’t change anything between us. If the baby is mine I’ll do what I have to financially but I don’t want to be a father, not to your child. Maybe you should consider an abortion?” Dexter told Carol.
    “You should be ashamed of yourself Dexter Crane. How could you say such hateful things about your own child? He didn’t do anything to you; don’t take your hatred for me out on him. He needs a father and a mother. You know what it’s like to grow up without a father. Do you honestly want that for your child? I won’t have an abortion, I won’t.”
    “You do whatever you want but don’t expect me to participate. The courts can make me pay child support but they can’t make me love him.”
    He got into his truck and sped away leaving Carol standing alone with her test results. She began to cry. Her heart ached. Dexter’s reaction was totally unexpected. Maybe she had misjudged him. He wasn’t the man she thought him to be all along. He’d managed to keep his true self camouflaged. How could he be so cold and calloused towards their child; an innocent child, his child, she wondered? His attitude wouldn’t go unpunished.
    Dexter had made countless attempts to reach Carmen by phone but she wasn’t accepting his calls. He knew her heart was broken in two. He was furious with himself for the inconsideration he’d shown her in sleeping with Carol. He should have gone home that night. If he had this wouldn’t be happening. Things between him and Carmen would be okay right now.
    Carmen remained on Dexter’s mind as he finished out his shift at work. He feared the end result of his mistake. They could have likely worked through his unfaithfulness had it not produced a child. How would Carmen ever accept that? He was having problems with it himself and it was his fault;
