HOUR 2:

Wren needs to rest so we all vacated the waiting room once again. I’ve been feeling pretty good about announcing my son’s name. It was the right thing to do. It was defiantly the right thing to include Frank’s name in his son’s name. But I was still rather lonely. Nothing on earth could make me feel better, well other than finally getting my baby. He’ll be my saviour. I sighed and watched as a fermilure hated face rounded the corner. Aaron came in. As soon as he came into view of everyone else, all three guys were up and in his face. They were mad at him for leaving me and writing that report. I wonder why he’s here. I stood up and watched carefully.

“Guys, can we have a minute?” I asked. Gee and Ray nodded while Frank was hesitant, he waited a moment before sitting back down beside Kat. Aaron and I went outside and sat down on the bench. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. I hated him right now but I want to hear what he has to say. I kept my eyes on him. He sighed and leaned on his elbows using his knees as posts.

“Aaron, what do you want?” I asked in a hiss that was more like a snarl. He squinted his eyes at me sharply.

“I wanted to come and say I was sorry.” He muttered at me. “I was just angry, I’m mad at you but I don’t want to be mad at you.” He said harshly. I narrowed my gaze at him and let my jaw drop. I stood to my feet, my hands on my hips.

“You’re mad at me?! You left me when I needed you. I was always there for you and the one time I need you, you left. You left me when I got pregnant and then you wrote that fucking report about me and my friends. You bashed us. And all you have to say is you’re mad at me? You know what? Go fuck yourself, I don’t need you and neither does my son.” I shouted at him. I watched his expression drop and become withered in itself. Before he could say any more, I strutted back into the waiting room where I was safe in numbers. He and I both knew that. He wouldn’t come back to see me after I got back with people that’ll protect me. I’m not a coward, pregnant and fearing for Kayden that’s all.

I sighed and stood at my feet while watching everyone. Mikey, his mom and Wren’s mom remained in the room with her for support. I wanted to be there so badly. I was all worked up now. Seeing Aaron, knowing that within eight weeks we’re all gonna be parents and getting ready for exams. That’s a bit stressful. And I was so lonely. I had no one to help me but my friends and they can’t keep doing things for me. I’ve got to figure something out. I mean I’m not expecting a big house with a white picked fence. I just want a nice home with a loving partner o help me with Kayden.  I felt my stomach rumble as I was caught in these webs of thoughts. I sighed and looked up at everyone.

“I’m going to the cafeteria to get something to eat, anybody want something?” I offered nicely instead of just going to get food for myself.  Everyone shook their heads in declining my offer. I shrugged and waddled off to the cafeteria. I had my money at hand so if I needed to buy, I could. My mind was still set on the future for me and my son. The cold cafeteria sent chills down my spine as I walked over to the little line up. I stood there waiting with a small tray in front of me. My eyes set on the last piece of pecan pie. I could practically taste it. The victory reach was interrupted by some guy’s hand going to the same piece of pie. My eyes darted at him harshly. He blushed and grinned at me. 

"Sorry, go ahead." He uttered softly allowing me to take the last piece. I smiled and tried not to blush. I placed it on my tray and waddled down the line. My eyes couldn't help but wander back to him as he piled things up on his tray. I don't know what came over me but I took the pie and turned. 

"Here, I feel horrible. You can have it." I said and gave him the plate. I watched as his almost glowing green eyes lit up and a cheeky smile played his pail face. His black shaggy hair hung in his round but narrow face. I watched his eyes slide down to my belly. 

"No, looks like you need it more than I do." He said. His voice was so deep, it sent chills down my spine. I smiled and placed it back on the tray in front of me. 

"I'm Jesse." He introduced happily. I couldn't help but blush this time. 

"I'm Holly." I said sweetly. I could see this was going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
