Not the One He Loved

Summary

Five years into our relationship, I brought my boyfriend, Gabriel, home for the Christmas holidays to meet my family.

At the grand family dinner, my relatives couldn't stop singing the praises of the man who had once been his state's valedictorian.

But then, my single cousin, Cora, suddenly gagged and ran from the table, clearly fighting a wave of morning sickness.

My aunt, her mother, was mortified. She raised her hand, ready to slap her.

"You're an Ivy League graduate!" she shrieked. "How could you let yourself get knocked up by God knows who?"
