The story
Six months pregnant, Cindy opens her door on Christmas Eve to find Shirley, her husband Matthew's childhood sweetheart, pregnant and demanding her place in his life. Cindy smiles and welcomes her in, but she remembers another life: the night she drove Shirley out, the death in the cold, and the husband who later sent their newborn son to the morgue and swore she would pay for Shirley's life.
Now Cindy says nothing as Matthew fawns over Shirley and his mother calls Shirley's unborn child her grandchild, urging a divorce as soon as the holiday ends. Matthew warns Cindy not to make a fuss, and the family plans to keep her child. When her stomach cramps and she begs him to examine her, he shoves her away and calls it acting.
Cindy knows what these people are capable of, and she will not let them take her son.
Opening
I was six months pregnant when my husband's childhood sweetheart showed up on Christmas Eve, pregnant too, demanding her place in his life.
Smiling, I welcomed her in. "Come on in. Make yourself at home."
In my previous life, I had forced my husband to kick Shirley out. She collapsed from low blood sugar and froze to death that very Christmas Eve.
Matthew did not hold it against me. On the contrary, he softened, stayed by my side and took care of me while I waited to give birth.
