Chapter 47

My alarm went off; it was 7:00, time to get up for work.  I swear I didn’t feel like going to work today.  I was feeling really tired and sleepy.  I lay there for another fifteen minutes dozing back off.  I pulled my down comforter up and snuggled into my pillow, there was no way I was going to get up now and go to work. 

I heard my phone ringing, but I couldn’t find it.  I looked under the pillow it wasn’t there; I looked on the side of the dresser nope not there damn where could that freakin phone shit.

It kept ringing and ringing.  I stopped to listen to see if I could tell where the ringing was.  I hung my head over my bed towards the floor when I heard it ringing from under the bed.

How the hell did my phone get under the bed?  I got out of the bed and on my knees and looked under the bed and there it was my life.  It had stopped ringing I checked the caller ID looked to see who called.  When I unlocked my phone and saw that it was Vincent, I couldn’t stop the smile that spread across my face.

I hit the button to call him back.  I wasn’t sure why I was so excited to see that he called.  I can’t get attached to him, we can only be friends.  I am pregnant with another man’s child, I can’t let him play daddy to this baby.

I don’t want him to raise another man’s child, and then have to deal with Kevin coming over to see the baby, or picking the baby up, or his parents coming down to see the baby. It’s just too much for him to have to deal with.

“Hello…helloooo…”

Click I heard the phone hang up.  Shit I lying here in wrapped up in my thoughts and forgot I was waiting for him to answer.

I called back and this time I waited for him to answer. 

“Hello sunshine.”

“Good morning doctor and how are you today?”

“I am doing just fine this morning thank you.”

“How are you doing this morning? I called to check on you; I didn’t hear from you last night.  I didn’t want to call and you were asleep I know how important sleep is for you now.”

“Yeah, I met Kevin yesterday and we talked and I told him about the baby.  He asked how far along I was and why it took so long for me to tell him. I told him that I wanted to wait until I was further along and to make sure there were no complications or any chance of miscarriage.”

“Was he ok with that?”

“Yeah he was, besides there’s nothing he could do about it so I wasn’t too worried about.”

“Well at least you told him.  What was his reaction when you told him?”

“At first he just sat there, he didn’t really say anything until he asked how far I was along.  I told him I was 14 weeks and he got so excited and he called his parents.  He told them the news and they wanted to get on a plane last night.”

“I was happy to hear they were ok with me being pregnant since Kevin and I am not together.  But it’s just like I thought he wanted to talk about us trying to work it out telling me that he needed to be there with me and the baby all the time and not just some of the time.”

“So what do you want?”

“I’m not sure what I want, but I just know I don’t want to try and patch things up with him.  He can be there for the baby, and we can co-parent but we don’t have to be together.”
