A myriad of thoughts tumbled in her head. She’d be a good mother to Adam. She would.He’d smiled at her again today, really smiled. Oh, Mary Karen had said it was a gas bubble. But when his dark blue eyes had locked on hers and his lips had turned up, there had been a connection. Adam knew her. Adam loved her.Her head told her that her baby would be better off with his dad. David could give Adam so much more than she could, and not just materially. But how could she walk away from her child? Perhaps shared custody was the answer.The thought buoyed her spirits for a few seconds. She would find a permanent job. Granted there weren’t many options in the area but her upbringing had taught her how to live cheap. Adam could split his time between her and David. It wouldn’t be ideal but lots of kids did it. At least he’d have his father and his mother.We had lots of houses but no home. A.J.’s words taunted her.An ache filled July’s heart. She remembered the feeling of never belonging anywhere.
