Brett
After not hearing from Kristen for another month, I got a sudden phone call from Tess. "Tess?"
"Kristen is at the hospital."
"Right now?"
"Yeah."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you are the father?"
"She wants nothing to do with me."
"Get your ass to the hospital, Brett. Now."
To say I was nervous would be an understatement. It has been months since I've seen Kristen and I was afraid she would be pissed to see me.
By the time I got to the hospital, I saw Zoey's car in the parking lot and rushed inside. "Where is she?"
Zoey looked up at me and raised her eyebrows. "In the delivery room."
"How long has she been in there?"
"A few hours. I didn't think you'd show up."
"Of course, I would. The child is mine."
Zoey rolled her eyes. "Tess has got to be due pretty soon too. Must be stressful having two baby mamas."
"Don't even get me started."
She laughed. "Because you know I'm right."
A nurse came to the waiting room and approached Zoey. "She's in a room now, you can see her."
Nodding, Zoey stood up and I followed her to the room. The smile on Kristen's face disappeared the moment I entered the room. "What are you doing here?"
"What did you decide for a name?"
"Scarlett Nichole."
"I like that."
"Thanks."
"Can I at least hold her?"
"Yeah."
"She sure looks like you."
"Yeah, she does."
"Can you give us a moment?" I asked looking directly at Zoey.
"I'll come back in a bit."
After Zoey left, I sat on a chair next to the bed and grabbed Kristen's hand. "I'm sorry."
"Tess is due tomorrow."
"Is she?"
"Yeah."
"Thought she wouldn't forgive you."
"She hasn't, but we are still in contact."
"How's her relationship going?"
Kristen shrugged. "It's not my business."
"Can you stop trying to shut me out like you are now?"
"Why should you even be involved?"
"Because Scarlett is my daughter, Kris."
After a few minutes, Zoey came back in the room and looked at me. "You can leave now, I'll take over."
"I wanted to talk to..."
"Go, Brett."
I knew Zoey wouldn't budge so I had no choice but to leave. Kristen may dislike as much as she would like but I refused to up and leave my daughter.
