In The Dead Of Night

Chapter 17

It's been 5 months since the hospital. My mom and brother visit 3 times a month. But my dad never shows. Charlie keeps asking me if my dad always talked to us girls like that, and I just say I don't want to talk about it.

"Kasey honey? " Charlie calls frm down stairs.

I walk down, "yes baby? " I ask.

"I have to go to a meeting today. Can you go get a couple things from the grocery store? " even though I'm on bed rest I still wanna help out.

"Yea, I love. " I kiss him on the lips. "See ya when you get home. " I call walking out the door.

...

Charlie's pov

"Hello is this Charlie Andrews? " the person on the other side of the phone asks.

"Yes, but could i call you back later. I'm in a meeting. " I say to her.

"Actually sir. Your Girlfriend Kasey Cotol got into an accident on the road. She didn't make it." She pauses. I'm so shocked I can cry or move. Or anything. "Sir we need permission to take the baby out. " she says quickly.

"Take it out. Take it out. I'll be there soon. " I say through out voice cracks. She hangs up.

"Charlie we need you now." My boss calls.

"Siri have to go. My girlfriend just got into a car accident and - and she didn't make it. They're taking the baby out, and I need to be there. " I say talking way to fast.

"Go. It's fine go. " my boss says sympathetically. I run out the door and speed down the open roads. I call her brother and inform him on what had happened.

"You need to go to the hospital! " I yell into the phone and hang up.

...

When I finally get there the nurse takes me to my Kasey. My poor baby. She was to young.

"Sir we did everything we could to save here. But the baby, he could be ok. Since he is so premature there will be bumps and I'll inform you on them later." The doctor says.

"The baby is boy. " I cry. Kasey wanted a boy so bad. And she wanted to name it Noah. So that's what I'll do. "I want to name him Noah. " I say looking the doctor in the eyes.

"Sir the father has requested to name him Oliver. " I cut him off.

"Well he isn't the babies dad is he? " I snap. "And Kasey wanted to name the baby Nosh if it was a boy. So that is his name. Understand? " I say. The doctor nods and walks away.

This is going to be a rough couple of months.

...

I go back to my baby boy. Hes so handsome. I can tell right now that he is the spitting image of Kasey. Except for maybe the hair. He doesn't have it yet so I don't know. His beautiful blue eyes. And his short slender nose. He's my whole world now.

Kaseys family walks in and looks astonished that I'm about to throw a chair. I don't even care, I throw it anyways. It crashes on the other side of the room. I crumple to the floor and cry. Jason throws his arms around me.

"He, Charlie you have to get yourself together. You have to be there for Oliver. " Jason says to me.

My head snaps up. "His name is Noah. Kasey always wanted to name her baby boy Noah. " I say quietly.

"Son, we have to talk. " Kaseys dad says.

"What do you want? " I spit at him.

"I want full custody. " he says. Then Jason stands up.

"Dad what the fuck! Charlie is the rightful dad and he is going to stay like that. I won't let you get custody of his child. " Jason yells.

"George we aren't getting custody of Noah. Jason is right. He isn't yours. Go out the room before I get security and divorce your ass. " Kaseys mom states sternly. George stomps out of the room.

"Charlie I'm so so sorry about him. I don't know what he was thinking. " Jason says angrily. I shake my head and wave my hand. When I stand I walk back over to the case that Noah is in and put my hand print on it.

He smiles at me and I laugh. I make some funny faces and he starts to laugh to. Yes so cute. Even with all the wires hooked up to him. He's my world now. Even if I have to wat 6 months until he can come home, I'll cross every day off until that day comes.

A different doctor walk in and gathers us into the chairs.

"Ok, so guys. This child is going to need all of your help. When Noah is older, he is going to feel different. He will look different, and by that iran he'll look younger. He will of course be a bit weaker. And there are high chances of depression and anxiety. I suggest you take him to therapy when he turns 5. Because that will be when he starts school. I would also go everyday. It will help, but we can not promise that Noah will not have depression or anxiety. This is going to be rough, and you may want to give up, but without you guys, Noah absolutely will not make it. " He claps his hands together. "Everyone understand? " he asks. We all nod and he walks out.

...

I go home that night, but I can't sleep. My pillow is soaked with tears. And the only thing keeping me from giving up is Noah. He is the reason that I am still on this earth. Without him, I would be dead.

Eventually I find myself watching the new, updated show on the Cali kidnapping. It's so sad what happened to Kasey. It goes into detail. And the way she looks so scared when the police find her. The fact that Kyle had the nerve to touch her like that. It hurts so bad. I eventually find myself falling asleep. And right before I do I turn the tv off.

...

Hey guys. You probably hate me for killing off Kasey. But it'll go with the story. Promise. Also I decided there will be more to it. A lot more. Also comment if I should or shouldn't make another book about Noah in his high school years. If I should, I will. But anyways I hope you liked the chapter. Also I almost cried when I decided that Kasey will be killed off.

Oh and after this is done, if we don't make a book about Noah, I am definitely making one it's gonna be called Run.

Comment, vote, share, all that jazz.

Love you guys
