He walked into the hospital and up to the first nurse he saw. "Excuse me, do you know what room Britney Spears is in?" He asked her. After Christina, the nurse, told Justin what room she was in, Justin, with Laylee in his arms, got onto the elevator and hit the 7th floor. ICU. How can you be in ICU. Nobody told me what the hell happened! Justin thought to himself. He got off the elevator and saw Lynne, Britney's mother and Laylee's grandmother, coming towards them. "What's wrong with Britney?" Justin asked with his voice breaking. He tried to be strong, for Laylee's sake, but just couldn't. More tears ran down his cheek as the older woman, whom he's always considered a second mother, embraced him. By the time he let go, he was crying harder and so was Lynne.
"She was in a car accident. Are you and Laylee ok?" Lynne asked him in her caring voice. Justin handed Laylee over to her grandmother and took a seat in a cold chair. All he wanted was to take one look at his daughter's mother, and for her to be perfectly fine. But he knew that was never going to happen.
"Justin?" Lynne whispered to him interrupting his chain of thoughts. Right when she was going to ask him again, the doctor came out of Britney's room. Justin's head shot up just as the doctor started to talk.
"Mrs. Spears, your daughter is in critical condition. It seems like her car was hit on the passenger side by a drunk driver. The driver of the car that hit her died on impact. After the car was hit, it wrapped around a telephone pole where an eyewitness called an ambulance." the doctor said to Lynne. "Right when she reached the hospital, we almost lost her." Right when the doctor said that, Lynne and Justin both started to cry harder. "We were lucky to save her, but, she does have very critical internal bleeding. We are doing our best to help her. She is stable so you and your son here may come see Britney." The doctor showed Lynne, Laylee and Justin to Britney's room before he was called down to take a phone call.
"Justin, Justin!" Britney whispered in a weak voice. Justin looked over at Lynne before she handed Justin his daughter and walked out of the room. He turned is attention back to Britney who then whispered, "Take care of Laylee. I know we are not on speaking terms, but you still are her father."
"Britney, you can't leave. You can't died. Laylee needs her mother"Justin said to Britney. And so do I, He thought. He wanted to tell her how he feel's but she slipped away into a deep sleep. Justin felt awkward standing next to a bed that held the love of his life in.
Just as he set Laylee on Brit's stomach, his cell phone rang. "Hello?" he said to the caller. "Baby, where are you?" the caller said. "God Hailey, I thought we broke up a month ago when you found out I was the father to your arch rival's baby? I want you to stop calling me!" Justin said in a harsh tone to his ex-girlfriend, before hanging up. After the unwanted phone call, Justin started to talk to Britney.
Not even twenty minutes has passed, Laylee started to cry a little bit. Justin picked his daughter up from her mother's stomach and rocked her to sleep. All of a sudden, Britney's boyfriend of two weeks walked in. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing with my girlfriends child?" he spatted to Justin. Lynne walked up past her daughter's boyfriend, whom she disliked every much, and up to the only person her daughter has ever loved. Putting her arm around Justin, she whispered to him "She love you. Not him."
"I said who the hell are you!?!" he shouted again at Justin, who put his daughter in the arms of the woman whom is the mother of the love of his life. Justin looked straight ahead to Britney's boyfriend and said,
"I'm everything your not and everything you always wanted to be. Now, I suggest you get the hell out of the room before I have to call someone to get you out of here." Britney's boyfriend, Jake, looked over at Justin and punched him right in the nose, making his nose bleed. Justin hit the nurses button and in two minutes flat, a nurse was in the room calling security.
OK so it's already 4 o'clock. The doctors came out to inform us more about Brit's progress. Britney is wide awake and wants to see Laylee. I just went outside to get some of Lay's toys and stuff. It looks like we're gonna be here awhile. I don't mind. I just have to call work and tell them that I'm not going to be in for a couple of days. Lynne just told me a minute ago that Brit just broke up with Jake. Thank god. He was too much of a jerk for her. Sometimes I want to go into that room and just take her right there, right now. Seduce her while I can. That jerk probably has. Well, I've got to stop thinking. Lynne says that I've been thinking too much today because every time she goes to talk to me, I'm always thinkin'! Which, might I say is true. Oh well.
"Justin?" Lynne said interrupting his thoughts again. "Your doing it again. Your thinking too much."
Justin had to laugh at this. "Well, what am I supposed to do then Lynne?" Justin said in a happy voice. He knew what she wa going to say Go into my daughter's room with Lay and tell her how you feel!
"You know what I'm going to say. So I suggest you go now." Now that Jake and Britney are not together anymore, Lynne has been thinking of tons of ways to get Brit and Justin back together.Hopefully, she thought, this'll work.
Justin walked into Brit's room to be welcomed by her sweet, angelic face. You could defiantly say he was falling in love all over again. "Hey Justin," Brit said to him. "I'm sorry about what Jake did to you. And your right, he is the biggest jackass in the world."
"Even bigger than me?"Justin asked her a jokingly voice. Quietly, she chuckled a bit. He fought back all these urges to kiss her right then and there. He just wanted to feel her soft lips on his.
"Yeah baby, bigger than you." Britney said answering his question. She slowly moved her body up so that she was sitting up. Justin quickly caught on to the fact that she called him 'baby'. "Justin, come here." she said patting a spot next to her on the bed. Justin walked over to the door, shut it, and walked back over to Britney. Instead of sitting on the bed like she wanted him to do, he took her face in his hands and kissed her sweetly. Breaking apart from him, Britney gave him a confused look. "What was that for?"
Justin knew that she liked it. He wanted to take it further, like what happened that one night a year ago, but decided not to. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to feel your lips on mine. After all, you did carry my child around for nine months. Think of it as my way of thanking you."
"Justin, we need to talk. Sometimes I think that that night you came over was a mistake. After all, I did become pregnant. But right when I look at what that brought us, I push that thought away because we created something that neither one of us wanted. We have a child Justin. You're a father, I'm a mother. Justin, I'm only 23 years old. I had a baby out of wedlock with my best friend. Some people might say that that's just wrong. But I think, now, that it's perfect. "
"Britney, just ten minutes ago, I was thinking about coming in here and seducing you like I did the night you became pregnant with Laylee. I know that some people might think that what we did was wrong, but I don't. In case you haven't took a good look at your daughter, she is everything good about us. When your mother called me, I was at home watching our baby sleep, like how I would watch you sleep sometimes. Britney, I love you. I have always loved you." and with that, Justin got off of the bed where he was sitting after he shut the door, and walked out of the room.
When in the hall way/waiting room, Justin walked up to Lynne and said, "Your little plan to get us back together failed. She thinks that night we made love was a mistake. She thinks Laylee is a mistake. Lynne, I told her how I feel. I told her I loved her and that I always loved her. She looked at me stunned. What am I supposed to do?" He put his heart out for her. She took it and stomped on it. That's exactly how he felt that very moment.
"Here, let me go talk to her. Anyways, you might want to call your mom, she called your cell while you were talking to Brit. She told me when you come out to call her. Here's your cell phone and here is Laylee." Lynne said handing Justin his cell phone and then his daughter. He sat down in a cold chair and dialed the 7-number digit he knew by heart.
He talked to his mother for a while telling her that Britney was in a car accident and was in ICU. Not even ten minutes later, his mother, Lynn, came running out of the elevator.
"Mama, I told her. I told her I loved her and ya know what she told me? She told me that she thought that Laylee was a mistake."
"Oh Justin, you were 23 when she became pregnant. She was 22. Honey, your 24 years old, you've been a father for 3 months. You have got to give her time."
"I know. But I never wanted her to become pregnant that night. She said that the night I came over was a mistake. That one night led us to becoming parents. I don't think of Laylee as a mistake, I think of her as a gift. Did you know that when she told me she was pregnant, I almost proposed to her? I had the ring and I said, 'Britney, I have something to ask you' and she's like 'Justin, I'm pregnant' and ran out of the house. Each time I saw her throughout her pregnancy, I was getting closer nd closer to proposing to her. You know for a fact that the only person I ever wanted to marry and have children with is her. She knows that. She's just too damned afraid to see that I'm the one for her." Justin said now with a few tears running down his cheek. I made love to her because I loved her. She's the only person I loved.
