Walk In My Stiletto Shoes!

Chapter Twenty Two- Hello, Brantley Michael Joesph Carter!

Brooke:

 Five weeks went by. Jeremy and I haven't really talked much since the night he freaked out at Drake. I have no idea where he took off to and when I ask he just says "A drive". He seems to be hiding something and distancing himself from me. Just the thought of losing him makes me worried and sick. He's been here with me for most of my pregnancy. I just honestly don't think I can continue without him. After all, he is my first boyfriend so it makes it even harder to picture him leaving. I just want to know what changed.

Dylan and I got into an arguement last week. He says I only want anything to do with him when there's no one else around, or i'm arguing with Drake and Jeremy. I find this false. I've just been so busy lately, and it's not like he has been trying to talk to me. He hasn't wanted anything to do with me since I friend zoned him. Maybe that's the problem. Don't get me wrong, Dylan is a nice guy and all I just can't see him as anything other than my friend. He just isn't my type. I just wish he would offer to come around more and show that me pushing him away really bothers him. Harsh, I know.

Things with Jenn have been the same! She hasn't changed one bit and I love her for it. She comes to visit atleast once a day. Which means a lot seeing as how she has a job at McDonalds now. She even went shopping for the baby twice last week. She's clearly the bestest friend a girl like me could have. She mentioned Jessica trying to talk to her a couple times but she just shrugged her off. It's so great to know she has my back.

Drake has been Drake. He messages once in a while trying to act all sweet but I am not buying it this time. He has messed with my feelings enough as it is. The baby doesn't need the added stress. He has tried apologizing to Jeremy and I but Jeremy isn't falling for it, He says if he catches Drake around me or finds out he has been messaging me, things will get bad. So I just dignore and elete all messages from Drake. If he wants to be a part of the babys life, he is really going to have to fight for his rights.

The baby is as active as ever! The doctor had all good things to say at our last appointment. His room is completely finished and everything is set up for when he gets here. Thanks to Jeremy, Jenn, and of course my aunt and uncle. Having the house look so baby proofed, makes me wish he could just be here already. 

I was sitting on the rocking chair in Brantley's room staring at the wall where the letters B-R-A-N-T-L-E-Y were placed on the wall with three ultrasound above the letters. My thoughts lingered on what my father would think. I know he would be happy and he would be a proud grandfather. Brantley would look up to him, just like I always did. Dad would have him skating right after he learns how to walk, and have him on a hockey team by the age of five. Although being a grandfather was something dad and I never really talked about, I know for a fact he would be the best grandparent there is. Which is a lot more than I can say for my mother. The thought of her ruined the moment. I snapped back to reality. I stood up from the rocking chair and walked over to Brantley's dresser where I had placed a picture of dad in a fram just yesterday. I gave the picture a kiss and stared at it for a second before placing it back on the dresser. "Congratulations Grnadpa" I said with a smile. I walked to Brantley's door, and took one last look around the room before turning the light off, walking out and closing the door behind me. 

I started for the stairs once I heard my cellphone went off, rembering I left it down on the counter. Just then I heard the front door closed as my ringtone stopped. I rushed down the stairs to see who was here. What I walked into isn't quite the "Hello" I had planned.

"BROOKE?!" Jeremy yelled as I walked around the corner. He had my phone in his hand.

"What?.." I asked in complete shock. This is the first time he has ever touched my phone. "What are you doing with my phone?"
