Teen Mom Stories: Saira

Chapter 9

The next week I decided to take Paige shopping for baby clothes while David took James out to go fishing. We bought lots of girly clothes that were adorable! Once we got home I climbed up in the attic to pull down Paige's baby clothes and some furniture. I was digging in my closet trying to find some clothes that fit when I got a call from an unknown number.
Hello?
Hello, this is FOPD. You're fiancée, David Grant has just passed away.
What?
He got in a car crash with a drunk driver. You're son James is being taken to the hospital for life threatening injuries.
Thanks, bye.
I was shocked. My world had just turned upside down. My first and only love died, and my son was being taken to the hospital for life threatening  injuries. All because of some dumb drunk driver. I grabbed Paige and ran to the car. I explained everything to her in the car and she cried so hard. I wanted to cry to, but I had to hold my tears back in order to drive. We ran into the hospital and up to the receptionists desk. She told us the room he was in and we rushed down the hall. I opened the door to see my som with a bunch of tubes and cords on him. His eyes were closed and his skin was pale. I called Melanie because I had to talk to somone. Melanie told me to stay strong for my kids. And thats what I had to do. I hugged Paige as we both sat there crying. I had so many things going through my mind, and so many regrets. I kept thinking to myself, why didn't I tell him i was pregnant with the twins? They could have had a father for longer. Why did I let him go fishing? Why did I let Paige go to that party 5 years ago? But as I kept thinking that, Melanie and Hannah came in. Hannah went to comfort Paige, and Melanie hugged me. We stepped out into the hall, and I said to her " I should have told him he was a dad 5 years ago when he came a dad. Now the kids are going to grow up without a dad. My baby girl is going to grow up never meeting her dad. And its my fault. My fault." Melanie hugged me and wiped the tears off my face. She said "Saira, everything happens for a reason. Everything has a purpose. You became a mom at 16 because god was telling you your future. Without them, you wouldn't be here right now. You wouldn't have re met up with David because you wouldn't have been in that section of the target. You wouldn't have met me. God made you meet up with David because he wanted him to see his kids. And have another girl. He wanted you to fall in love with him. But why? Why did David die? Well you still have to figure that out. Why is James here, with life threatening injuries? Why did that happen? Well you have to figure that out. But right now, you have to help your daughter."  "Thank you Melanie." I told her. I walked back in and sat down. We hung out in silence for about 5 minutes until James fluttered his eyes opened and said "Mommy? Paige?" We ran over and stood beside him. About a week later he was discharged from the hospital. I had another doctors appointment for the baby and I was 5 months along. I missed David so much. I took all of his clothes and his accessories and took them to the donation center. But that day I had an idea. I remembered what Melanie had said, about everything happening for a purpose. And before I knew it, I was setting up a website, printing out flyers, and booking venues.
