The Innocent

4:09 PM the next day I gave birth to a healthy baby girl who was 5 Pounds and 3 Oz 16 ½ inches long.

I named her Serenity Aniya for right now. She didn't have a last name because her dad was still deciding if he wanted to sign the birth certificate or not.

Shawn sat in the far corner as the nurse brought me another water to drink for the pain pills I had to take. Going into labor for 8 hours took a lot out of me and I was tired. I had her 2 months early but none the less she was healthy and didn't have any signs of complications.

"So dad, are you excited about your new bundle of joy?" The nurse asked handing me the pills.

I cut my eyes over to Shawn who seem uninterested in what she was saying. He nodded his head and gave her a small fake smile.

"Yeah" He said looking out the window.

The nurse looked at me and I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head. It still hurt that he didn't want to even be near Serenity and it hurt more when he said he didn't know if he was going sign the birth certificate.

The nurse quickly exited the room living me and Shawn alone were our thoughts ran wild in our minds. I couldn't stop thinking about how he held my hand as I pushed her out. He was very shocked but to least say he left the room when I held her. He came back and looked at me and Serenity. He didn't say anything but just stared.

I didn't know where our relationship was going to go and if we even had one but I did know he was Serenity's dad. He hasn't said anything in a couple hours except for when he responded to the nurse. He just sat in the chair in the corner looking out the window and occasionally picking up his phone.

"I'm hungrier than a bitch" He said.

I turned my head to look at him. "Go eat" I said nonchalantly.

"I would but my moms is going be here any second and she's pissed" He stated looking everywhere but into my eyes.

"Pissed about?" I asked looking down at my stomach.

I knew it had to be about me having Serenity. "She just found out she may be a grandmother" He said shaking his head in disbelief.

"There is no may be. She is yours Shawn. I only had sex with you once and after that I felt strange. You got me pregnant and I carried this baby for 7 months. She is yours and you are going to take care of her. You don't have to take care of me cause you don't give a fuck about me."

"You aint gone get shit from me if that's what your implying. I have to take care of her? Who says?" He argued back.

I tried to sit up in the bed and scoot my butt back so I could sit up straight but shooting pains in my private area prevented me too.

"Ahh" I groaned out in pain.

I rolled my eyes and breathed out heavily. "Shawn, you are her fucking daddy!" I yelled.

I could feel the tears form at my waterline once again, ready to explode once again. I was mentally, emotional, physically tired.

Seconds later the door to the room flew open. Shawn's face softened a little and he shook his head. The lady looked at me and gave me a small smile.

"Excuse us" She said as she walked over to Shawn as to be in a hurry. She reached back and smacked Shawn in the back of his head as hard she could repeatedly until he grabbed her wrist.

"Stop ma!" Shawn yelled.

His face had turned bright red but his mother was in tears of frustration. "Are you fucking stupid? You out her fucking with no protection and you have a baby. I'm a grandmother at the age of 36 the fuck Shawn." She said yelling.
