Raising His Kid (#wattysawards2015)

Chapter 5

Rylee POV

Reese was finally asleep in his baby blue crib. It was about midnight and I was really tired. The apartment I lived in was shared with my best friend, Elizabeth is the best friend ever. She helps me take care of Reese and cares for him a lot.

Ross has been to busy to care about Reese so I have been taking care of him full time now. I need to call Ross soon so I can give him a piece of my mind.

My phone suddenly went off snapping me from my thoughts. I picked the phone up and saw 'Ross' flash across the screen. Great, I need to talk to him and give him a piece of my mind. I pressed the green button to talk.

"What?" I snapped.

"Rylee I need your help please!" Ross cried. I could hear the sobs from someone in the background.

"Ross what's going on?" I asked him calmly.

"Just go to the police station and they can track down this phone call. Please hurry." His voice sounded desperate.

"Ok I will." I hung up the phone. I had to help him, but I really wanted to sleep. I mean the father of Reese can't get hurt.

I noticed my sperry's sitting on the floor and decided to wear those. I left the apartment after telling Lizzy where I was going. The police station was across town, great what I need. I pulled up the GPS on my phone and started my drive.

When I finally got there I only saw a few cars there. I grabbed my phone and ran into the buliding fast because well it started raining and I hate rain. A man sitting behind the desk seemed to busy with his phone to notice that I walked in the door.

"Excuse me sir," I cleared my throat so he would notice me. "I need your help."

"Well then what can I help you with young lady?" Peter, his name tag said, put his phone away.

"Um... my friend called and didn't give me his location, but he did say to bring my phone in that you guys could find him. He was crying and asking for my help." Tears were threating to spill over.

"All I need is your phone and information, also his name and as much information you know about him." Peter slid a clipbored and pen across the table to me.

I picked up the clipboard and pen eying Peter carefully. I went to a chair by the door and filled everything out. My name, my address, and my phone number etc. then I filled out Ross' name, address, and his phone number etc.

After the clipboard was filled out I took it and my phone up to the counter. Peter took the phone and plugged it into the computer. I saw a map and heard Ross' voice with my voice.

"We have a location Miss." Peter told me.

"Where is it?" I started to get scared about all of this.

"I am sorry, but I can not tell you. I need you to go home and we will call you. Then you can come to the hospital to see him." He stood up and left after handing me my phone.

I drove home in defeat. I mean I may be mad at Ross, but I sort of need Ross in my life. I dragged my tired body into the apartment. When I walked in I saw Lizzy sitting on the couch holding a sleeping Reese.

"Here I will take him and you can go to bed." I suggested.

"Nah I'm fine. You should go get sleep." Lizzy commented back.

"I know, but I feel bad having you take care if him for me."

"I love Reese as a little brother I never had so its cool."

"Or your just practicing when you and Jack have kids." I wiggled my eyebrows at her. She reached over and playfully shoved my shoulder.

The phone suddenly rang through the house. Reese cried as I suspected he would, I noticed Lizzy left with Reese to calm him down.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Is this Rylee Jane?" A male voice spoke.

"Yea this is."

"You need to come to the hospital. Ross is requesting for you."

"I'm coming be there in five."

I hung up and grabbed my purse again. I left with a quick goodbye to Lizzy.

About ten minutes later I pulled into the hospital parking lot. I ran inside looking around frantically.

"Rylee Jane?" A voice asked

"That's me."

"Hurry and come back here."

I ran into the back with a nurse. We walked into a room where Ross lay.

"I will leave you alone." The nurse left quickly.

I started to sob. Ross doesn't look like Ross at all.

He looked way skinner than before, probably starved. He had brusies covering his body, probably beaten. A bullet wound on his arm, probably shot when the police came because it looked fresh.

"Rylee?" Ross' raspy voice called out.

"Hey its ok I'm here." I assured him. I pulled a chair over by his bed.

His hand was cold against my warm hand. Tubes were everywhere on his body. I started to cry again.

"Pretty girls don't cry." Ross' voice was raspy.

"I know, but you need to go to sleep."

"I want to stay awake." His eyes started to droop.

"I know, but I want you to go to sleep and I will bring Reese up tomorrow. Is that ok?"

"Please bring my son to me." His head nodded off and he fell asleep. I could hear his soft snores.

I stood up and plated a kiss on his temple. I walked out the door so I could go home and pick up Reese.

"Well look who it is. If it isn't Rylee."
