Under OUR Umbrella (A Sequel To Under His Umbrella)

Chapter 21: The Baby

''Chapter 21: The Baby''

(Jacob POV)

After Jasmine called and I knew that Brielle was safe, I decided to just stay and leave at night but I ended up falling asleep on the couch. I woke up hearing the doctor come in. ''Oh I'm sorry if I awoke you, I just wanted to check on Carmen to see if she is doing fine''. ''It's fine'' I mumble getting up stretching.

I check my phone but there were no messages, no emails, no missed calls, nothing. A few seconds later the doctor walks out after checking on Carmen. I stand up. ''Alright Carmen, im going to go. Imma check on Joshua and then imma leave. I'll be back, just call me tomorrow morning when they release you so I can help you and him home'' I say hugging her slightly.

She whsipers in my ear, ''Thank You''. ''For what?''. ''For staying around when others guys didn't''. ''Oh, well you're welcome'' I say leaving the room.

I stop a nurse to ask her where the baby room could be found. There were so many incubators. Some occupied babies and some were empty but very clean looking. Each had their names on a piece of paper attatched to the side of them.

I see one that has down syndrome and he just kind of stares at me. I just look down and keep walking until I see my son.

He was so little and pink. His eyes were closed and I think he was sleeping. His little body was heavily moving up and down. I didn't want to bother him or wake him up so I start leaving and thinking.

What did Carmen mean by 'didnt'?

(Brielle POV)

I woke up feeling slightly better. I slowly got up trying to get myself out of bed. Jacob usually helps me get out of bed in the morning after he laughs at my struggle.

I don't know what to do with him. I love him but then every good moment he ruins it. I am not sure about him anymore. I'm not saying I want to break up with him but I'm gonna hold off on this Marriage.

I honestly don't mind seeing him today though. I want to talk. I step out of the bedroom and go to the kitchen. Jasmine, Dom, and Sienna were laid out on the couch. I actually kind of felt bad for me being the reason for them to discontinue their wedding plans to check up on me. I would've did just as fine without them.

But I appreciate the help though. I wanted to make a smoothie but I didn't want to make a loud noise and wake them up so I just made a bowl of Frosted Flakes and turned the TV off and decided to sit out on our balcony.

I love this pent house but its good for couples, not for children and family settings. I honestly wish I could just keep the space and do something with it. The sunrise was so beautiful, it was still a warm temperature but had a slight comforting breeze. I just gazed and really took in everything, pacing my eating, thinking about the future.

I hadn't even noticed that Jacob was behind me pulling out a chair for him to sit in. I guess he was expecting me to blow up at him but I felt peaceful and honestly am hoping that he doesn't talk and just let the moments be. Of course, he eventually said something.

''We named him Joshua Tyson'' He said softly. Even though I already knew that, I responded anyway. ''That's a cute name''. I had to clear my throat because it came out raspy like when you don't talk for a long time even though you are up and you speak for the first time.

''I know an apology isn't what you want to hear but-''. This is so corny. I don't have time for a corny pathetic speech about him loving me and he is so sorry. It's not his fault anyway, can't even fully blame him. ''I'm over it, Jacob'' I say firmly but in a soft voice.
