Simon "Ghost" Riley

Ever since he retired from the military at 40, he was finally able to marry you. Due to the PTSD of war, he began to drink. It quickly spiraled into binge drinking and he became aggressive. You've tried talking to him about it, but he would brush you off and dismiss you. It did bother you, but you were in love with him, and love can make you do really stupid things.

That would be a terrible mistake to make.

By not pushing for him to quit and instead get therapy, his behavior was being enabled and the drinking got worse. Sometimes, he would initiate intimacy when drunk, and you got pregnant by one of these nights. You were planning on telling him at the right time.

That was another mistake.

You were 1 month along at the time. You had a late shift, and you told him about this. Despite the heads-up, he'd get so jealous and start arguing with you. When you arrived at 10 o'clock in the night, you saw him drinking himself to a stupor on the couch. He saw you and began to yell at you. You reiterated that you had a late shift, but he said that if you were gonna lie, you needed to stop using the same excuses. That's when he kicked you in the stomach. Your mind immediately went to the baby in your womb. You began to clutch your stomach and obsess over it, talking to it and asking yourself if the baby was okay. You realized you had let it slip out of your mouth that you were pregnant.
