My name is Bianca Mayfield. Right now I’m off work so I can look after my new baby boy, so I’ve got a lot of free time on my hands. I thought I could make a journal to pass the time until my leave ends since my life has been crazy enough lately to deserve writing about it.

Currently, I’m living on the top floor of this apartment block with my husband William until we can afford a proper house of our own. Bridgeport is a nice enough city, but the housing prices are ridiculous!

The apartment is nice, though. There’s enough space for the three of us, although Charlie doesn’t need much. I keep my easel in the corner out of the way so I can paint without distraction while Will goes to work.

This is me. The photo was taken back when the winter festival was around, a few months ago. I was on my way home from work when I saw the half-pipe, and just couldn’t resist. Once Charlie’s old enough to be left at home with a nanny, I might dig my board out from the cupboards again. One of my neighbours has a nice half-pipe with fake snow out behind their house.

Will and I actually met through work. We both work at City Hall with the police department, and we ended up being assigned as partners, although he tends to work evening shifts now. Sometimes I stop by where he’s on duty to say hi.

And no, before you ask he’s not a vampire. I don’t know why people keep asking if he is. He just happens to like plasma juice. I pick it up from the grocery store when I get milk.

This is Romeo Rake. He’s Charlie’s dad. He was also in a relationship with someone else while I was seeing him, but neglected to tell me. Shortly after I became pregnant with Charlie, he stopped seeing me. That was when I found out he’d proposed to his girlfriend. It was also when I found out that he *had* the girlfriend. Suffice it to say we haven’t spoken since.

The only thing is, the story gets worse. I wasn’t actually aware at the time that I was pregnant, and it didn’t become apparent until several weeks after I started going out with William. Thankfully, he thinks the kid is his. Hopefully Charlie doesn’t grow up looking too much like his father…
