Amy has been missing for about 3 weeks now. I would have thought by now that she would have gotten herself caught. Ivan's still in a coma. Nancy has decided to go ahead and make the move and bring him home. They will set him up in the dining room. Abby his nurse at the hospital decided to take on his case and be a home health care nurse for him. That makes me feel so much better because she's been with him since day 1.
Nancy and my mom had talked me into taking time off of school. I didn't t want too but with everything going on, it makes sense. The last few weeks have been pretty much uneventful, which I'm thankful for. My mom took me to my baby appointment and the baby is doing great. I've been having lots of dreams that we are having a girl so maybe Morgan is right.
Brad, Courtney, myself, Nancy, Brad's dad Tom and my mom and dad all had thanksgiving at Nancy's house. It was really nice and a lot of fun. My mom and dad get along great with Brad's parents, so they took that as an opportunity to team up and talk me into taking time off of school. I still haven't gone back to work at the hotel. I did explain to Jeremy that I am pregnant. I think he was a little less than thrilled for me. He's letting me collect unemployment though, I offered to quit and he said no to just collect. I don't know if he's angry with me or not.
Morgan found herself a man so I haven't seen much of her recently. But Courtney, Morgan and I are going out tonight. It's been too long. Figured I'd take advantage before I'm huge and can't move. We decided on going to the the Phi Beta party. I will be the DD of coarse. Brad will be at his parents house working on his dad's hot rod.
We arrive at the Phi Beta house and it's packed. Derek is in the hallway, his glass raised above his head and he's shuffling between people. He looks over and spots me. Changing directions he comes toward me, grabs my hand and pulls me through with him. The Phi Betas have a heated tent out back so that's where Derek leads me. As soon as we get to the tent and head inside he pulls me into a tight hug.
His words a little slurred."I thought you fell off the face of the earth!"
"No I'm here. Just so much happening the last few months."
"You don't have a drink yet, you need a drink, come on let's get you a drink."
"No Derek I'm good. I'm the DD tonight."
"Oh come on Ella one or two never hurt!"
"Derek I'm ok really. I don't need to drink to have a good time."
"Ella come on. You never turn down a drink." His face lights up with realization in that ohhhhh I had epiphany. "You can't drink because you're pregnant!"
"Shhhhhhh!! I don't the whole world knowing my business!" I say.
"Ella, how could you let it happen?" He softens.
"It was an accident. My birth control failed."
"I'm so sorry. I feel so bad now." He says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Well you meet this guy, you go through hell because of his past, he ends up in a coma and no one knows when he will ever wake up. You're going to be a single mom Ella."
"I'll be ok Derek. He will wake up eventually. His bodies resting."
"Ella let me take care of you. Let me help you raise the baby."
"What?!?! No! He's going to wake up."
"You don't know that Ella! I'm studying premed. The longer you are down the worse off you are."
"Derek the doctors have no concerns. There's brain activity."
"Doesn't mean anything Ella. He's not here now. You need someone."
