Perfect Strangers

Chapter Eleven

I can't move.
I can't breathe.
Why?
What did I do wrong?

Once the doctor told me what I already knew....

**
"I'm so sorry but your baby has past away. We aren't sure why yet but..."

I don't listen past this moment because this is the moment I actually loose everything.

Rick immediately dropped my hand when she told us the news and I immediately felt more empty inside than when I woke up not to long ago.
****
I'm just sitting in the hospital bed staring at a wall.

Rick is mad at me I know it.
He probably only acted like he was interested in me because we were having a child together.

He probably blames me and never wants to see me again.

I just feel so hurt I honestly don't even want to see him again because I know everyone I see his stupid face i'm going to think about our baby to be.

I call my mother and tell her what happened but of course she didn't understand at first because she didn't even know i was pregnant to begin with and it was the hardest thing ever explaining the situation to her. She tells me she would be at the hospital for me in the morning. And I felt so thankful for that.

THREE HOURS LATER
RICKS POV

I'm sitting in the waiting room trying to figure out what to do next. I tried to go and sit with Blake but she just yelled for me to leave her alone.

Why is she mad at me?
Does she blame me?

i'm so confused and all I want to do is hold her.

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I see the name Jen.

"Hello?"

"Rick what's wrong you sound like your crying." Jen says sounding sleepy and concerned.

"I'm at the hospital."

"Why? Are you okay?"

"No it's Blake." I sniff keeping my self together.

"Okay i'm coming."
****(about thirty minutes later)
"Rick!" My mom calls and her and the whole family come racing down the hospitals hall.

I stand up and she hugs me tightly.

"She doesn't want to see me." I say to my family.

"It's okay Rick she's just upset, give it time." Jen says.

So that's what we do we give it time and all wait in the waiting room. I make Jen and Alexis take all of the children home because they all looked very tired and most of the family went with them except for Mom and Greg. But I make my mom go with them because she looked exhausted.

Greg and I fall asleep in the chairs. I am woken up by the sound of a women asking for Blake and then she tells the nurse she's her mother. I jump up quickly and Greg does too and follows me.

"Um Hi, Blakes mom?" I gently found the lady's shoulder.

"Yes?" She looks at me very confused and i notice the man that must be Blakes dad and a teenager that must be her sister.

"I'm Rick um blakes i'm friend. The father of the baby. Well was the father of the baby." I look at my feet realizing it wasn't all just a nightmare. I also feel uncomfortable calling myself Blakes boyfriend because we haven't officially called that yet.

"Hello. Why are you here?" She asks.

"I'm waiting for Blake. The doctor says we can leave as soon as she's ready."

"Well son you don't have to wait we will be taking her home. We appreciate you waiting but you can leave now."

What? She's going home with them? Why not me?

I need her more than ever right now and she won't even let me see her.

"Can I say goodbye first?"

"I guess but don't make it long we have a long drive ahead of us."

I quickly move towards Blake's room.
"Blake?" I peek around the door.

She looks at me with red shot eyes and gives me a look that literally breaks my heart.

"Get the fuck out. I told you NEVER to come back. I hate you and I never want to see you again. I know you never loved me! you just stayed with me because you thought you had to because you knocked me up. But your welcome you don't have to worry about that anymore. The baby is dead. Just like my feelings for you. I'm sure you never even had feelings for me so get the fuck out I never want to see you again!" She bust out in tears and her family shoves my out of the way to get to her.

I stand in front of the door in utter shock. She really blames me.
