Escape in the Night

Chapter 29

Regina's POV:
As we left I stayed quiet. I didn't know how to take the news. But I know I didn't want to have my rapist child. I'm afraid if it is a boy he will grow up to turn out just like him. And I don't want that. But on the other hand Robin said he will be the father of this baby even though it isn't his. Before I knew it we were home. I didn't move from my seat in the car. I hear Robin sigh.

"Baby," he said.

"I don't want this baby to be like him," I cried.

"That isn't going to happen," he says putting his hand on my thigh.

"You don't know that," I snap.

"You're right I don't. But we can raise them right," he said taking his hand off my thigh.

"Still this child can turn out like him," I say as I wipe the tears.

"But they aren't," he tells me.

"Stop saying that!" I yelled. "You don't know if this child is going to turn out like him Robin. I don't want that! This child might be a rapist in the future!"

"But you also don't know that," he said a little loud.

"I don't want it," I say.

"What?" He asked.

"The baby. I don't want it," I say looking out the window. "I'm not giving birth to something that might hurt other people," I said.

"Regina no," Robin says.

"Yes," I said.

"Think about it. This-"

"I don't want the baby Robin! End of discussion so drop it!" I yelled at him.

"Fine. Do what you will with the baby, Regina. I'm going inside. Come in whenever you want because clearly you're pissed off," he said before getting out of the car slamming the door slightly causing me to jump.

I sat in the car and started to cry again. I have never seen him so upset. And it was my fault. All my fault. I grab my phone and call David.

"Hello?" He said.

"I need you," I cried out.

"What's wrong?" He asked. And I can hear the worry in his voice.

"Please," I cried.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"Meet me at the park," I say.

"Ok," he said.

We hung up and I texted Robin.

Me: I'm going to the park.

Bubba😍: Ok

I sigh and then wipe my tears before getting out of the car and walked to the park.

When I got there David was there with Mar and Emma. Mar seen me first and opened her arms for me. I fell into them and started to cry again. She rubbed my back softly.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"I'm pregnant with Grahams child," I cried.

"Wait, what?" Mar questioned.

I looked at David. He looked mad.

"Please don't do anything David," I whimper.

"Why shouldn't I? He got you pregnant!" He said loudly.

"Wait, what's going on?" Emma asked.

"Graham raped me," I whispered looking down playing with my fingers.

"Where is Robin?" Mar asked.

"Home. We kinda got into a disagreement," I whimper wanting him now.

"About?" Mar said.

"The baby. I said I didn't want to give birth to it and he didn't like the idea," I say now feeling bad.

"Gina," Mar says.

"I want bubba," I say crying again.

I hated being away from him. And now that we are at the park, I wanted Robin. That's when I feel the anxiety and panic kick in.

I start breathing heavy and my hands became clammy. I started to shake. Soon I start to hyperventilating because I can't breathe.

"Hey, hey, hey. You are having a panic attack ok? Let's sit down." David said.

They sit me down on the closed bench before Mar just pulls me to her chest and let me copy her breathing. But it didn't help. I just wanted Robin. I heard someone on the phone but I didn't know who. I pull away from Mar and push myself away from her and brought my legs to my chest as I wrapped my arms around them.

"Gina?" I hear Mar say.

I feel a hand on my shoulder and freaked out causing me to fall off the bench. I whimper at the pain.

"What's going on?" I hear Robins voice.

I looked behind me and Robin was standing there. He looked at me.

"Bubba," I cried.

"Hey, shhh." He said as he wrapped his arms around me. "What happened?"

"I don't know. She was talking about how you two got into a disagreement and then she started to have a panic attack," Emma said.

"Baby, I need you to breathe for me." He says.

I soon calm down and just lay against his chest feeling safe.

"We will leave you guys alone," David said before they walk away.

"Bab-,"

"I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just don't know how I feel about this baby and I took my anger out on you when I shouldn't have. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me," I cried out.

"Baby I forgive you," he said.

"Really?" I asked.

"Yes," he replied. "I was never mad. I was just a little upset you didn't think about this," he said.

"I have now. I wanna keep it," I whisper putting my hand on stomach rubbing it softly.

"The baby will be nothing like him," he said.

"I know. I trust you. And if you say you are going to help me raise this child, and make sure they don't turn out like him. Then I trust you. I want you to be the father of them bubba." I say looking up at him.

"I will be glad to be the father," he said.

"Thank you," I say before kissing him.

"Now let's go home," he said before helping me up.

"Can we eat at Granny's? Please? I'm really craving some fries," I say with a smile.

"Just fries?" He asked taking my hand.

"Yup," I say.

"When do you want to tell people?" He asked.

"Well Emma, David and Mar know. But can we tell Daddy soon? I want him to know first. Then we can tell your parents," I say.

"I don't see why not, but what about you mother?" He asked.

"She can know once everyone else knows," I reply.

"Ok. Now come on let's go get you and this bean some food," he said.

"Yes, this bean is hungry for fries." I say.
