Forever Love?

Adjusting

*July 1990*

•Giselle's POV•

Little miss Tatiana Marie Wright is now 3 weeks old. I love being a mother to her, she is such a sweet baby. Eric loves her so much and so do Eric's children EJ, Dominick, and Erica. I can already see Eric's bold personality in her. Eric's mother comes over quite a bit to help out with cooking and cleaning since Eric was at work and I had to take care of Tati. My brother and sister have come over one time, but my parents have not even seen her. I am still adjusting to my new life with a baby, and realizing that my child only has one excepting set of grandparents, Eric's. But on a lighter note, this weekend Eric and I are having a late 4th of July party at our house with all of our friends and family.

6:44 pm

Eric. Would you bring me a bottle for Tati?" I yelled from upstairs in Tatiana's room

"Aight"

A few minutes later

"Here" Eric said handing me her bottle

"I'm gonna run to the office for a minute then I will pick up some hot dogs and hamburgers on the way back so I can cook them on the grill"

"Okay babe. But don't be gone to late!" I said as I pecked him on the lips then he kissed Tatiana on her cheek before he walked downstairs

20 minutes later

Tatiana was down for a nap and I was cleaning up the house preparing for our party this weekend. I was wiping down the counter tops when I hear the doorbell ring.

"Who is it?" I said as I was walking towards the door then open it to see a woman standing there with a little baby who had to be 3 weeks old like Tatiana.

"Can I help y-" I started to say before I was cut off

"So you must be Eric's new little girlfriend. Is Eric home?" She said with the biggest attitude in the world

"Who are you?"

"I'm Eric's daughters mother. When Eric gets home, tell him to come see his baby you hoe!" She then turned around and walked away from my house. I walked back into the house, closed the door, sat on the floor with my back against the wall and cried. I have no idea what to do with my life and with my relationship with Eric. If I was alone, I would just break up with him and leave, but now I have a daughter to take care of.

2 hours later,

"Giselle! Where ya at?" Eric yelled as he walked in the door after coming home from the studio and the store.

I was in Tatiana's room packing her things up from her nursery into boxes and suitcases along with my things. I heard Eric approaching the door of the room.

"Giselle! What the fuck are you doing?!"

"Tatiana and I have to go" I struggled to say through my tears

"For fucking what? You trippin!"

"IM TRIPPIN ERIC?! YO RUDE ASS BABY MAMA CAME KNOCKIN ON MY DOOR WHILE YOU WERE GONE WITH YOUR BABY IN HER ARMS!"

"Damn Giselle, I'm sorry. I was goin' to tell y-" he said in a low, sad voice before I cut home off

"Eric, just shut the fuck up. I'm leaving with Tatiana. I can't do this"

"Well where is yo broke ass even gonna go?" Eric said starting to yell

"Fuck you Eric. I don't know where I'm going to go. All I know is I'm getting the hell away from you and your shit"

I picked up Tatiana who was crying her head off after she was woken up from her nap after Eric and I yelling from our arguement.

After putting all of my and Tatiana's stuff in my car, I left the house with Eric drinking 40's like they were water and was completely drunk. I can't deal with all of his baggage and him to cheat on me and have a baby on top of that.

12:31 am
After about 45 minutes of driving, I stopped at McDonald's to grab some food then I drove to Los Angeles to a hotel. I want to go home badly, but I am so scared.

At the hotel
Once I got to the hotel at 1:15 am, I took only the things that I needed for Tatiana and myself out of my car, and into the room. My emotions are all over the place and I do not know what to do with my life right now.

"Do I go to my parents house and show up and look stupid just so they can say "I told you so"? Do I go to San Fransisco to live with Selena for awhile?" I was deep into my thoughts and crying a river until my attention turned to Tatiana who was in her crib crying, most likely because she was tired.

"It's okay baby girl, it's gonna be okay"I said as I rocked her in my arms on the end of the bed before she fell asleep. I put her back in her crib then got in bed after possibly the worst day of my life.

3:02 am

Ring ring ring

I heard the phone on the side of my bed ring.

"Who the hell could this be?" I thought to myself while turning over in my bed then reaching for the phone.

"Hello, is this Giselle Mars?" A woman said

"Yes it is, who is this?"

"I am a nurse from the Los Angeles Medical Hospital. Eric Wright has been involved in a car crash"

My heart dropped into my stomach...
