The Boy He Met. (BoyXBoy) {Book 2}

» Chapter 11 «

"First of all I'm happy to tell you that even with all the complications you've got a new baby sister!"
I feel so happy for one moment but then the moment ended.
"And t-the bad o-one."
"Your baby suffers from FAS which stands for-"
"I.. I already know all about FAS so I guess I shouldn't be surprise.. I had it coming.." I try hard not to cry, I've never ever cried in front of people.
The doctors comes close to me and gives me a hug.
"Your mother.. She.."
No no no
"She might not make it for more than a few days, you can sit with her and if anything happens call us." He smiles and leaves.
When I walk into the room I see a very pale version of mum and no baby.
So I do the first thing I thought of - I hold her hand.
"Mum.." A whimper escapes my lips and I break, I cried like never before. "Gabe..?" I hear a voice and my head jumps up.
"Honey don't cry I'll be fine." I suddenly realized she was awake finally.
"Oh mum," I jump in her arms for a hug gently not to hurt her and stayed there for awhile inhaling her special smell.
"Gabe?"
I'm still in her arms when I answer her,
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry I became a horrible mother since d-da....d"
"It's okay mother I love you so much," I hug her tighter and finally let go.
That's when a women comes in with a clean all dressed up baby.
"Where did you get the clothes from?
"I have my ways."
Yes ways of stealing.
"Would you like to hold her?.." She says that handing it carefully to my mum.
"I'll leave you three alone." She smiles and leaves.
"What should we call her?"
"You chose the name, you deserve to name her more I do."
"How about this; you one me one. How does that sound?"
"OK start." Truth been told I've been thinking a lot about a meaningful name that goes for both female and male.
"I thing she should be Lala." I can see she thought of it a lot too. She was planning on keeping the baby!
"Hope."
"Lala Hope?"
"Yes, Lala Hope."
I stay until visiting hours are over and head home cleaning everything to keep my mind off things.

The next few days my mother was still in the hospital and the baby seemed fine. She was so beautiful, that even the crocked nose couldn't take the beauty away from her. Her eyes were big and her upper lip real small and cute, she had mum's hair.
As I make my way to the buss stop my phone rings with unknown number, so I ignore it and get on the bus.
"Why hi there Gabe!" Mr. A- I mean Noah was overly happy to see me and calls me to his office to fix some papers.
Fast enough I'm deep into my job not realizing anything around me.
That is until someone touches my shoulder and I jump a little only to see it's him.
"So, the date." He says slowly, "when are you free?"
"Mr. - Noah I really can't my mother is in the hospital and I have to take care of her."
When it comes to me there's three different Gabes : the one who's either scared or needs something from X person which makes him act polite. Than there's the one that I'm mean to you just because. Third one is when I open myself to you and let you into my shuddered life.
Noah got the first Gabe.
"I'm so sorry.." He looked genuinely sorry for me which surprised me a bit, I wasn't used to it.
"So here's something that might make you feel better-" he leans in and to my shock he starts kissing me.
I freeze not knowing what to do with my lips or tongue. I don't get enough time anyways because as fast as his lips crushed on mine they were gone.
Before I could comment on the kiss his out of his office.
What did just happen.

As I make my way home I think of bringing a card game to play with mum and a baby hat I got for Hope.
I'm just about to enter the hospital when another time my phone rings with an unknown number.
This time I answer, " yea?"
"Is this Gabe?"
"Who's this?"
"Christoffer."
"What? How'd you get my number?"
"Phone book. Trust me it took me like the 25 tries to get you."
"What do you want?" I ask rolling my eyes.
"I need a favour."
