Chapter 17: Arriving

I was still driving by the time we entered New York so I decided to pull over at a truck stop. I slept in the drivers seat and Lyn-Z was wide awake. She shook me after an hour. "Gerard, I can't sleep." she said. I got up and grabbed her hand. I laid on the floor and pulled her down with me. I held her close. "Maybe next to me you can." I whispered and kissed her forehead. We were the last ones to wake up that morning. Ray and everyone were eating outside on a picnic table. I lifted Lyn-Z up and set her on the bed. She was extremely tired and it has been about two months carrying that child, so I wouldn't blame her for being tired. I stepped out of the van and sat next to Mikey and Alicia. "Morning Gerard." Said Alicia. "Morning, does anyone have coffee?" I asked lighting a cigarette. "Yeah, in that building over there." Said Mikey taking a drink of his coffee. I got up and walked over to the building and made my coffee. I walked out of the humid building and saw Lyn-Z standing in the morning sun. She looked amazing, and I could now see that she was two months pregnant. It wasn't a big difference, in fact there was almost no difference at all.

I walk over to the table and kiss her and put my arm around her waist. "Guys you know we are here." Said Frank. "Yeah, I know. It only took us two hours to get here." I said. Mikey let out a big, "Woo!" He was excited. "Now what?" Asked Christina. "I say we get some money." Said Frank. "But we have plenty." Says Ray. "Why don't we just live and relax." I said taking a sip of my coffee. We finished breakfast and Ray and Mikey were play the PS2 in the van. Christina and Alicia were just talking on one of the beds. Frank was watching the guys play the game. I went out and smoked a whole pack without even realizing it. "Gerard, are you okay?" Lyn-Z asked sitting next to me. "I'm fine." I hugged her dropping the cigarette. "I am scared to be a father..."
