Loving the Lost

Home With The Baby

3 Months Later

Taylor && Jordan Both Work At 10 Fitness As Trainers, Together They Have Almost Saved Enough Money To Get An Apartment Together. Jordan Alternates Between His Moms House And Taylor's. He Is A Great Devoted Father To Both Of His Children. Britney Had A Baby Girl Named Candice.

Taylor's POV

I Woke Up To DJ (Damarion Jordan) Crying. I Dragged Myself Out Of Bed And Walked Over To His Crib. I Picked Him Up. His Diaper Is Full, I Gently Place Him Upon The Changing Table. To Get The Diapers && Baby Wipes Out Of The Cabinet. Once He Is All Cleaned Up. He Starts To Fall Back Asleep. Instead Of Putting Him In His Crib We Both Climb Into My Bed. He Sleeps Next To Me Until The Morning.

9:30 A.M.

Jordan POV

I Was Getting Dressed On My Way To School && When I Got A Phone Call.

"Phone Call"

She Giggles @ The Last Comment And Soo We Arrive @ School. I Open The Door As She Steps Out With Her Backpack Tossed Over Her Shoulder. I Grab Her Hand As We Walk Into School. Then Britney Steps In Front Of Us && Stops. I Taylor Comes To A Halt Which Causes Me To Stop.

Britney: Your Daughter Needs Some Diapers && Formula. I Dont Have Any Money. Please I'm Begging U Already Know My Mom Kicked Me Out After She Found Out I Got Pregnant.

Me: Look Britney. I Just Gave You Some Money, What Happened To That??

Britney: I Had To Use It To Make My Rent.

Taylor's POV

I Couldn't Stand To See Britney Beg, Even If She Did Have A Baby By My Boyfriend. I Reached In My Purse && Pulled Out 2 20.

"Here You Go" I Handed Her.

She Seemed Surprised. Then She Looked At Me && Smiled. She Reached Out For It And Took It

Britney: Thank You So Much!! I Get Paid Friday, And I Promise I'll Pay You Back.

I Shake My Head. "Keep It" I Say "Think Of It As A Congratulations Gift." She Smiles &$ Walks Away.

Jordan Turns His Attention Away For Her To Me. "That Was Nice!!" He Finally Admits.

I Nod Slowly. "I Guess". The Bell For 1st Period Rings. I Kiss His Cheek && Run Off.

Skipping To Lunch

Taylor's POV

I Walk Through The Cafeteria In Search Of Tiffany. Then I See Her Short Brown Hair. Sitting Down Next To Some Boy. While Walking Over The Table, Someone Wraps Their Arms Around My Waist. "I Have A Boy Friend" I Explain without Looking Back. Once I Turn Around It's Jordan Cheesing Stupid Hard. A Small Laugh Escapes My Lips. I Grab His Hand Still Walking.

Me: Hey Tif.

Tif: Hey Hun.

I Sit Down Next To Her

Me: Who's The Boy??

I Ask Nodding My Head Towards A Tall, Brown Skin, With Earring.

Tif: Oh...Sorry Tay. This Is Chris. Chris Paul.

Chris: Wassup

Me: Hi, Are You New Here Or Something I Haven't Seen You Around Before.

Chris: Umm Yeah...This Pretty Little Lady Is Be My Tour Guid.

He Smiles @ Tiffany.

"Ahh I See" I Smile

Tif: "Hey Tay You Wanna Go To The Mall Today??? I Gotta Buy My Godson Some Shoes." She Claps.

"Umm..Sure. Who's Your Godson Tho?" I Ask Laughing

"Damarion Jordan Mass" She Says Popping Her Gum.

"Yeah Sure" I Laugh " Jordan, Chris You Wanna Come??"

"Nahh I Gotta Work" Chris Explains.

"Nope, I Just Don't Wanna Go To The Mall With Two Girls. Going Shopping For A Baby." He Laughs.

"Whatever" She Rolls Her Eyes.

When The Bell Finally Rings

Signaling Lunch Is Over.

Since We Are Seniors We Only Have To Go To School For A Half Of A Day, So School Is Over.
