Filler Chapter (Bonus Chapter) Maci's point of view on her life and everything going on after bringing Daniel home from the hospital. xx

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

After Daniel was born, I had to transition myself from a teenager, to a teenage mother. It was difficult at first, the waking up at three in the morning to feed Daniel. The loss of sleep got to me, but luckily Kaleb was there to help me out.

Kaleb was an extremely patient father. He could sit and listen to Daniel's screaming for hours, and not be phased by it whether as I, would get really aggitated.

I never took out my frustrations on our son, never once crossed my mind, I usually just ate a large bowl of spahgetti and found time to watch TV or nap while Daniel was sleeping. I coped with other things, rather than yelling because quite frankly I am completely against any parent yelling at their child, expecially a four day old child.

Kaleb wasn't only supportive with Daniel, he was also there 24/7 to rub my back, and rub my head while I slept. I look at him and see a completely different person than the one he was 9 months ago.

We both went from hating each other, to having a son together and learning how to love each other. I fell in love with him the moment I seen him crying the first time he saw Daniel. I seen that vulnerable side of him again, the one I seen on our way to the camp ground and when I brought up his singing abilities. I still haven't brought it up, and I haven't seen him with a guitar since everything has happened but I was really hoping he would start following his dreams with that. 

The months I was pregnant with Daniel was so turbulent that I convinced myself the drama was the cause for my morning sickness.

Although, that's only a joke.

I have thought a lot about Kaleb lately, he's pretty much all I think about. Even when he is around me, I look at him and my thoughts run wild.

The main thing that crosses my mind is our future.

I was so set on moving on from him, after all, he did put me through hell but I forgave him.

My fear is, he will leave us, or something bad will happen because of his past sneaking up on us, or his mom will pass away from cancer and he will shut us off. Us meaning me and our son.

The thought of Kaleb ever leaving Daniel brought a sick feeling to me. I could take him leaving me, but Daniel is another story. Our son may only be four days old, but he sure does love his daddy.

The smiles we get from our son, are mostly towards Kaleb. It makes me jealous sometimes, but I love their bond, and I could sit and watch Kaleb hold our son for days.

I always wanted to be the girl that got married first, then had a baby but life snuck up on me. Kaleb, and I haven't sat down to talk about much, we are together but we are very distant from one another. He has a lot going on, with Mr.Corino going to prison, and his mother miles away at a Cancer Clinic, the man has it rough.

He is absolutely stronger than I could possibly be. I don't know what I would do if My mother had cancer.

My future as a teenager mother seems to be the only future I have right now. Marriage seems out of the question simply because mine and Kaleb's relationship isn't normal, or simple and I have fallen way behind in school.

Senior year means a lot of school work, finals, and not to mention after all of that I have to come home to my son and take care of him. There's also the fact that family, and relationship issues have a big chance of standing in the way of of school, but I have to do it.

I have to get an education and be someone, I have to raise Daniel the best way I can, and be the best mother I can, and then maybe, just maybe I'll be able to figure out the rest.

Peace, Love, And Bad Boy's.
