Matt walked into the hospital, smelling the distinct smell of death and disinfectent, a horrible combination, if there was one thing Matt always hated, then it was hospitals, and now he had to be in one, all because of one night. He was worried, you could see it on his face, he may not of known about his baby inside Jasmine's stomach for long, but just thinking about how he had put it there made him feel giddy. How could he feel giddy at the thought of a child, he hadn't really given a thought towards them before and now he was feeling giddy.
He walked down the hospital corridors ready to confront the woman who was carrying his baby as to why she didn't tell him, he needed to get an explanation, he should have been the first one to know, but instead he was the last. The LAST, just that thought made him angry. He stopped outside of the room the hospital staff had told him she would be in, although they had done that with reluctance, and only because he had told them that he was he brother.
He pushed open the door quickly and and looked over to the bed, seeing her asleep with a drip in her arm made him lose a little of his anger, and he reminded himself that although he needed an explanation there was absolutely no way he was putting her under more stress, she had already fainted once today, he didn't need her collapsing again.
With great difficultly he refrained from angrily shaking her awake, and instead opted for a few gentle nudges. Her eyes fluttered open and the first thing Jasmine saw was Matt with a face full of anger, leaning over her bed, his eyes burning a hole into her conscience, she knew then she should have told him sooner, it was not fair for him to have found out like this, she was well aware he knew, Karen had visited her earlier and told her to expect him.
"You should of told me." Were the first words that came from his mouth. He didn't even give her chance to reply before he was going into a full lecture about how selfish it was for her to keep it from him, not that she was already well aware. "You should have called when you first got an inkling that you might be pregnant, I should have been there for the scans and to hear my baby's heartbeat the first time it was played, but because of you I didn't get to, why?"
"I'm sorry." She said, a face full of guilt.
"Sorry?" Matt bit out.
"Yes, I know I was selfish-" She started before he cut her off.
"Yes, you were selfish, I bet you weren't even planning on telling me, and I bet if Karen didn't tell me that it was mine, that when the time came and I realised you were pregnant, that you would have passed it off as Jake's!" He exclaimed.
"That's a horrible thing to say! I was going to tell you, I was just-" She said, getting interrupted yet again by Matt.
"Just being selfish." He said, raising an eyebrow, daring her to deny it, which of course she did
"No!" She denied." I was scared, I thought you'd hate me, I thought you would tell me that you didn't want the baby, I. Was. Scared." She said, emphasising the last 3 words.
"I would have taken care of my responsibility." He said
"Responsibility, is that all this baby is to you? And what do you mean 'taken care off' because if you mean what I think you mean, abortion, then I would have made sure you wouldn't have been able to have any kids with that suggestion.
"Of course not, what kind of guy do you think I am. I just meant I would have been there, not that I even had a chance to suggest anything." He said, narrowing his eyes
"Oh, and when did I have a chance to tell you, last week? Last month? Because every time I step a foot near you, you move 10 miles away from me!" She said, nearly hysterically screaming at him, tears in her eyes.
