Life Unknown

Chapter 4

The tears I thought were over now flowed down my face as she said those words. How could I possibly raise two babies? I thought about it, but it wasn't like when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't think of my future and how it was ruined. I thought about their future. Would I be able to provide for them the way that they needed. I didn't want them to miss out on anything. I was finally happy about having a baby yet I wondered if I could I do it. This is one time where I wished Damian were with me. I don't know why he had to leave, today I knew I would break down and call him. He had the right to know about his daughters, even if he didn't want them.

After we left the doctors mom's worry turned to joy and was busy planning a twin girl shower, but all I could think of was his face and how he looked when I told him the first time. Sitting in a wooden chair for an hour while my mom went on and on about the shower was starting to get annoying, but I sat there.  I couldn't let her know what I was about to do.  After mom got over her excitement I slowly climbed the stairs and went to my room alone and picked up my phone from my nightstand. I dialed the number that had been sketched in my mind slowly, I was afraid of what was on the other line.  As I reached the last number I held my breath and hit the call button.  He picked up, and I started to cry when I heard his voice. Tears welled in my eyes daring to fall. I quickly composed myself the best I could so he wouldn't know.

"Hello"

"Hi Damian, how have you been?"  A bit teary, but I dont think he will notice.  A silent tear fell to the floor.

"Harper is that you where have you been?" I rolled my eyes at this tears no longer an issue. Like he even cared, he left me for two weeks without so much as a phone call.  Anger replaced the tears.

"Well, mom thought it would be good if we moved so no one would start nasty rumors."  It really didn't, but I can't hurt her like that she was only looking out for us.

"Well, I had wished that you had at least told me you were leaving, you are carrying my child"  Hormones are starting to take over, I may blow up at him.

"How could I?  You were no where to be found, and we left almost as soon as we could" The anger and hormones were not mixing well.

"I needed a couple days to get over the shock."

"You were gone a week and a half, no phone calls, no texts, no emails, no nothing I figured you were done with me." I started to sound a little hysterical, I was defiantly blowing up.  I hope that he did not hang up, he did need to know about the girls.

"I could never be done with you I love you Harper. It's been Hell the past few months. I came home and you were gone not even a note was left. I found out from Stacy that you had moved to South Carolina."

"I am sorry, but I was not going to get deeper with someone who did not care enough to stick around for his child. I have missed you so much, more than you can imagine, but this isn't about us. I called to tell you about the baby."  I can not believe that I just told him that. Could I sound more desperate?

"Oh my god is something wrong with the baby, did you miscarry, is the baby here?"

"No nothing is wrong, and it's only been four months. It's just I am not having one baby I am having two babies. Two girls to be exact." Making sure to keep my anger intact and show him I can do this alone.
