Journal 6A - Back Story: For Sale, Baby Shoes, Never Worn.

Alicia sat up quickly as the doorbell randomly rang ignoring the pain that she was feeling from walking for so long with a 5 months baby in her stomach. She saw that her ex boyfriend was on the other side of the door. Before she could get there, her husband opened the door and asked who he was. 
"Hey, man. Ma name is Kelso I heard this biddie is prego? N' I might be the father." Brian's face suddenly became flushed and started to ponder how he let Alicia trick him into thinking the baby was his and leading him into a marriage he never even wanted. He started to throw his fists and Kelso's face became as distorted as his grammar. He rushed to Alicia and punched her stomach. He frantically, as well as hurriedly packed his stuff to leave. 

Alicia's stomach turned purple and black as she lay there paralyzed in shock. Blood began to sputter out of her mouth like a dysfunctional water fountain. She finally regained consciousness around a week later only to find out the most heart wrenching news. Once she arrived to her home she wanted to get rid of anything that reminded her of the preceding incidents, and to come up with money to maintain herself now that her husband was gone and all she could think of was to create a garage sale. "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn."
