~Chapter 25~
Unfit

Charlis POV:
The next day I woke up with a smile on my face.

Everything's gonna be okay.

My cancer will get better. Chase and I will have this kid together. We'll have a family. Me, him, our baby and our hat.

A small part of me feels horrible for Delilah. But the rest of me feels great for myself. For the first time in my life I feel like things are going good for me.

Delilah's had it easy her whole life. She's gotten everything. I've never had that.

I stood up and walked out of the room.

Delilah was eating breakfast at the counter and chase was having breakfast on the table.

The vibe was off.

Something was wrong.

Delilah: "I heard the news! Congratulations"

What

I tilted my head

Delilah: "you're pregnant"

Chase told her already?? Did he tell her about us? I don't think he did or chase and I would probably be kicked onto the streets.

Charli: "yeah I am..."
Delilah: "you're keeping it?"

I nodded

Delilah: "because if you don't want to keep it I have many options for you. I know people who have been trying to adopt for years."

I want to keep it

Charli: "thanks but I'm keeping it"
Delilah: "they've got everything it takes to be parents. 2 loving parents. A stable income. A family home."

Do I have to tell her again?

Delilah: "they'd be great parents."

I think I'd be a good parent too...

Delilah: "they're healthy, they've got great mental healths"

What's that supposed to mean..?

Chase: "Delilah stop."
Delilah: "I'm not doing anything? I'm just saying they aren't dangerous people"

What is she talking about...

Delilah: "like, they'd never hurt themselves or do anything to in danger their kid."

I- I wouldn't hurt my kid.

Chase: "that's enough, Delilah"
Delilah: "they don't have cancer so they wouldn't drop dead and abandon their child."

Why is she saying this stuff??

Charli: "you're saying Il be a bad mom..."

Maybe she's right... maybe I'm not cut out to be a mom...

Delilah: "of course not. I'm just saying with all your... issues... I think it would be a little hard to take care of another person when you can barley care for yourself"
