Chapter 1
“Ummm honey!! My water just
broke!” I said to my boyfriend of about 9 months. Let me catch you up.
I am 19 years old, and one night while I was at a party with my
boyfriend of about a month, Mark, someone slipped something into one of
my cokes and the next thing I know I am pregnant with Mark’s child. It
wasn’t a rape, but it was a unconscious thing, I didn’t realize what
I was doing when I was doing it. I am not the kind of person to just
sleep around, infact that was the first time I had had sex, so it as
pretty scary. Mark decided to stick around, but I could tell he
regretted that choice. He, himself, was a selfish 19 year old, who was
not ready to take on the responsibilities of becoming a father. I would
go to his house regularly, but today he happened to be at my house. Now
back to
the present.
“What do you want me to do?” He asked, I could hear the annoyance in
his voice. “I don’t know, I need to get to the hospital, though. Go
get your car.” I said as I started walking out the front door.
“Ohhh, nooo. We aren’t taking my car.” He said defiantly.
“Why not, I have to get to the hospital, and my car isn’t running
right, we have no other choice.” I yelled.
“Don’t yell at me, hold on.” He said as he threw his hands in the
air and ran back into my apartment. He came back out with a trash bag
and a bunch of towels.
“You are not getting my car all nasty.” He said as he laid
everything down and I got in. The drive to the hospital was painful, but
quick. I knew, though, that the only reason it was quick was because he
was afraid the towels wouldn’t hold, and it would soak threw. Once we
got to the hospital I got out just as Mark came over to my side. He
grabbed the towels (making sure not to touch anything), and threw them
into the garbage can. Those were my best towels. We both walked into the
hospital and I went to the nurses station. They gave me some papers to
fill out, and I handed them to Mark. Just as another contraction hit,
and I grabbed for his arm.
“What do you want me to do with these? Let go that hurts! “He said
as he jerked his arm away.
“Listen, you fill these out, and believe me you don’t have the worst
of it.” I said now getting angry myself.
Chapter 2
Me, Ashley, Trevor, and Erik were in the waiting room, waiting to hear
anything about Jacob. He had hurt his back at the concert so they were
taking x-rays. We knew it wasn’t life threatening, but we were there
for him anyways. I heard a women talking and looked towards the nurses
station and saw a very pregnant women, who looked no older than my age,
if not younger. From the way it looked, she was in labor, and the guy
she was with was a real jerk. Rude and very mean. It was starting to get
on my nerves. A contraction hit and she grabbed for the nearest thing to
her, which happened to be his arm. All he did was jerk it away. Ashley
seen it too, as did the rest of the guys, they all looked pretty mad at
how he was treating her, I went to get up, but Ashley pulled on my arm.
“Dan, just chill, ok?” He said as I sat back down, but kept my eye
on them. She started talking again.
“Mark, I didn’t bring anything, my suitcase is in my room, can you
go get it?” She asked handing him the keys.
“No way!” he said. That was it for me. So I walked over to them.
When the guy noticed me standing there, he looked up at me.
“Can I help you?” he asked.
“Yea, how about you get the hell out of here.” I said as I stud up
straight, hovering a good 4 inches over him.
“What if I don’t want to?” He asked.
“Then I guess security will take care of you, because you aren’t
worth my energy.” I said as I took the papers out of his hands and
motioned for him to leave, I could tell he was scared.
“Well, I was gunna go to the bar anyways. As for you Desiree, don’t
bother coming to me for child support, or anything to do with this
child. I don’t want it.” He said while backing towards the door. I
could see how his words stung her. He finally left and I turned towards
her.
“An orderly will bring a wheelchair around for you in a few
minutes.” A nurse said as she passed by us. So I brought her over to
one of the chairs in the waiting room. Just as another contraction hit
her. She tensed up and grabbed the arm of the chair.
“They are...getting allot closer.....then before.” She said
in-between breathes. “By the way thanks, but you shouldn’t have done
that, back there. He was my only shot at being able to support the baby.
I don’t know what I am going to do know.” She said as the
contraction subsided. A man brought a wheelchair over. So I helped her
into it, and Ashley and I walked with her. Erik and Trevor were going to
wait on word of Jacob.
“We’ll figure that out later, you don’t need that guy. He is an
asshole, sorry about my language.” I said as she gave me a ‘that’s
alright’ look. We got into her room that she would stay in, until
right before delivery. She got up into her bed and laid back. The
contractions were coming closer together which was a signal that she was
closer to having the baby.
Chapter 3
“Sh*t!” She said, causing all of us to jump.
“What’s wrong?” Ashley said.
“All of my stuff is at my house. Now I have no way of getting it.”
She said coming down off of a contraction and throwing herself back onto
her pillow.
“That’s alright, I can go get it, if you don’t mind me going to
your house.” Ashley said.
“No I don’t mind, are you sure it isn’t any trouble?” She asked.
“Yea, I’m sure.” He said. So she gave him her address and the keys
to her apartment and left.
“God, my apartment is a mess. Mark had a bunch of his friends over
last night partying. There are pizza boxes and bee cans everywhere,
along with blankets. He always does that, because I have my own place
and he is still living with his parents, so he can’t do it there. I
hope Ashley can find it.” She said.
“So how is Cindy?” She asked giving me a devilish look. Up until
that point she never mentioned anything that would indicate that she
knew who we all were. So I figured she didn’t know. I started to laugh
at her sly question.
“She is fine. We broke up with each other 3 months ago, but are still
friends. I didn’t think you knew who I was.” I said smilling at her.
She really was beautiful.
“Yea well, when I first saw you I was in allot of pain, and the last
thing on my mind was to jump up and down and get your autograph.” She
said as another contraction hit. I grabbed her hand. “I guess your
right.” I said biting my lip, she had quite a grip on her.
He had the sexiest smile. Man when he smiled everything else just faded
away. And he was so nice, especially Ashley, going all the way to my
house for me. Having Dan there, gave me a sense of comfort and warmth.
He saved me in many ways from Mark. I couldn’t imagine Mark being in
here with me. Then Ashley came back with my suitcase. I got up, with
both their help, and took the suitcase from them. Then they left the
room so I could get dressed.
Chapter 4
When we walked out we saw Trevor and Erik walking out of what I was
guessing was Jacob’s room.
“Hey how is he?” I asked.
“He’s doing good, his back is hurting pretty bad, but they gave him
pain killers and now he is asleep. So we decided to leave him alone.
How’s the girl?” Erik asked pointing towards her room.
“Good, I am glad he is alright. She is ok, I guess, but I think I am
going to stay with her. You guys can go back to the hotel. I know that
since Jacob is hurt we will be getting a long break for him to heal. So
can someone pack my stuff for me?” I asked.
“I’m gunna stay too.” Ashley said.
“Ok we’ll go back to the hotel then. Tell..uummm....I don’t know
her name..tell her we said hey, and good luck.” Trevor said as they
started walking towards the elevators, we waited till they got on before
we started talking again.
“Dan you should see her house...” Ashley said before I interrupted
him.
“I know she told me that that Mark guy had friends over and they
didn’t clean up.” I said.
“No man, it is more then that. It is really bad, it has really raggy
carpet, the walls are all peeling, there isn’t even a kitchen, just a
little flat stove thing. Her bed is just one blanket on a mattress on
the floor.” He said.
“She can’t bring her baby home to that. Hey I have an idea. How
about she goes back to Orlando with us.” I said see that as our only
option.
“Where is she going to stay? You know we don’t have a spare room.”
Ashley said. He was right.
“How about the pool house. It is like a mini apartment, it has a room
and a kitchen off of the living room.” I said
“Yea that would work.” Ashley said.
“Well lets go back in,” I said as I opened the door a crack “are
you descent?” I asked.
“Yea.” She replied with a laugh. I opened the door and we both
walked in.
“Guess what?” I said sitting down at the chair beside her bed.
“What?” She asked.
“We are gonna stay with you, you don’t mind do you?” I asked. I
figured I would ask her to go to Florida with us later.
“No, I don’t mind, that is very sweet of you. It is going to get
pretty nasty, though. Can you handle it?” She asked daring me with her
eyes.
“Can I handle it? CAN I HANDLE IT?” I said puffing out my chest.
“Of course I can, plus I was with my aunt when she had her last baby
about a year ago.” I said as she started laughing. Then the baby’s
heart monitor started to beep really loudly, and 4 or 5 nurses ran into
the room checking everything and pushing me and Ashley to the side.
