How You Get The Girl

Chapter Fourteen •No Body, No Crime•

Stefania

"Okay bella! You're doing great!" I said as she pushed.
"One more push Danielle! Give me one more big push!" Doctor Russell said.
"You're doing great Dani. You got this!" Barrett said from her spot by her legs.

Danielle pushed one more time, and the sound of our son's cry filled the room.
"Oh my God." Danielle cried.

"Here you go Mommy! Stefania, come here and cut the cord." Doctor Russell handed me a pair of surgical scissors and I cut the baby's umbilical cord.

Doctor Russell placed our son on Danielle's chest, and he immediately nuzzled into her and stopped crying.
"You did it bambina. You did so great." I kissed her head, and smiled at our son.

"Say cheese mammas!" Jaina said as she snapped a few pictures.
"He's so beautiful." Danielle said with tears running down her face.

"Okay moms. I gotta take him to get cleaned up, get his weight and do some tests. I'll bring him back as soon as we're done." Doctor Russell took him from Danielle, and set him in a bassinet.
"Goodbye Gio! We'll see you soon baby boy!" Danielle called out tiredly as they wheeled him out.

"So, what's his full name?" Barrett asked.
"Giovanni Alessandro Spampinato." Danielle said proudly.
"God that's so perfect. He's so perfect." Jaina said with a smile.

*Three hours later*

"Okay moms! Here's your sweet baby!" The nurse said rolling him into the hospital room.
"Hi sweet boy." I cooed as I picked him up.
"He weighs six pounds, four ounces. And he's nineteen inches long. He passed all his tests with flying colors." The nurse said as she wrote some things in her chart.

Danielle

"Good boy." I said with a yawn.
"Do you ladies want me to take him to the nursery so you can rest? I know your exhausted from giving birth." The nurse offered.
"If you don't mind, that would be great." I said with a smile.

Stefania laid him back in the bassinet, and the nurse wheeled him out.
"My Mom, Dad, and sister are supposed to come by later."
"Okay sweetie. Our co-workers were wondering when they could stop by." Stefania said as she settled into the chair.

"Tell them around five. My parents should be gone by then."
"Okay bella. You should get some rest." She leaned over and kissed my head.
"I'm too excited to sleep. I can't believe he's here."

"I can't either." A voice from the doorway said.

We turned, and my heart dropped.
"What the fuck are you doing here." Stefania said as she stood up.
"I came to see my son." Jackson said with a smile.
"He is not your son." I spat.
"Oh, but he is. He's biologically mine. And I want him."
"He's not your son! You raped me! You beat me! You-"

"Oh Danielle. Is your head messing with you again? Are you imagining things again?" He stepped into the room.
"She didn't imagine anything! You're a monster!" Stefania quickly stepped in between the two of us.
"Do you really think I'm going to let two fags raise my son? He deserves a real parent!" Jackson punched Stefania in the face and she fell to the ground.

"You're not supposed to be here! We have a restraining order!" I shouted.
"I don't care. I told you, next time I see you, you're dead." He wrapped his hands around my throat and squeezed hard.

I struggled to get him off, I felt the room growing dark.

"Get off of her!"

That's the last thing I heard before the room went black.
