The Cystic Fibrosis Child

Chapter 5

Chapter 5:

So there I was lying alone in my bed, me and Nile didn't tend to have many arguments, as we always laughed and didnt take things too seriously. I should've known having a baby would change all of that. Nile had gone to his moms place with Annabeth - his mom never liked me. She would always go on about me potentially being one of those rehab actresses who would treat him wrong because I was pretty but not the most intelligent girl in London. It was my first time sleeping alone in a very, very long time. I still had the scars on my stomach, I would touch them to see if it would stimulate some sort of vision to give me a clue to what was happening and how to stop it. My eyes were giving in on me and I drifted to sleep, knowing that something would happen that would change my life for probably the worst.

The dream seemed the same as my other one, where Dr Reid got killed by the other twin. The room was black and red again, and there I was travelling down the extended hallway. I opened the same door from my previous experience with these dreams, but this time the room had changed. I was in Annabeths playhouse room and I knew I was going to see something I was wish I hadn't, as I did in the previous dream. I couldn't believe what my eyes bestwoed upon when I opened the door. There were raindrop tears forming on my face, as I could see Annabeth and the other twin together. I could tell who was who, because Annabeth had on a saphire little braclet I got for her and the other twin was coughing up thick mucus and looking at me menacingly.

Its as if they had twin telepathy, as a result of Annabeths eyes fixed on me with so much emotion, I could swear I heard her saying "Why"? I had to remember this wasn't real, but I thought the same about the first nightmare and look how that turned out. So I replied "Baby, I had to, it would've ruined our lives, my career, everything. Your twin would've struggled so much"! In a weak voice I could hear the words "No, I would just love to be alive to be honest". The speech was coming fadily from the other twin. My mind was all twisted and confused, I thought I was going mad, so I actually asked the other twin, "Why are you haunting me and why did you kill Dr Reid. The figure replied "Its the demons inside of you, they've possesed me and thats why all of this happened. Im still inside of you even though you tried to abort me, because your guilt kept me alive" Another thing that the other twin said was "This isnt even me talking, its your guilt actually talking through me. You and I both know I'm like a thing to you. The other twin? I dont even get a name. I dont even..."!

"DAKOTA"!, I shouted.The other twin replied "What"?, in a confused manner. "Dakota, yeah thats your name, you're my beautiful Dakota and I should've realised that a long time ago. I should've realised its not my decision to say who should die and who should live. Who knows, you could always get healthier, I know that they're always doing tests to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis". I could see the glow and smile on Dakota's face, something I dont think I'd ever seen up to this moment. I kissed Annabeth and Dakota, then just like that I was awake again. Whether it was a nightmare or dream, it triggered something inside of me that should've triggered along time ago. I took a shower, put on some jogging bottoms and ran downstairs to the car. I started driving over to Nile's moms house, knowing I had a big confession to tell Nile and a big decision to make. This is because there was a big chance I could be giving birth to my Cystic Fibrosis Child - Dakota. That's if Nile could take in everything I was about to tell him and could start off my pregnancy, while enduring another 9 months of dvds and staying in with me.
