I am Widow

Chapter 60

WIDOW POV

I wake up from a long sleep. Man, I feel so tired despite sleeping. Wait, what happened? I sit and look down at my stomach. Where is my baby? I look around and see I am at the hospital. Oh my, oh, what happened?
I press the red button and a nurse comes in. "where is my baby?" I ask.
"Relax miss, let me get the doctor," she walks away.
"Where is my baby?!" I yell.
I see Dr. Lock come in, "Widow relax."
"no no, where is she?" I ask.
"She is fine,"
She is fine. She is fine! I cry out of happiness. "Where is she?"
"She is at the baby's unit," he answers, "she is still a pre-mature baby, so we need to keep an eye on her, but she is okay."
I sigh, "Oh gosh, what happened? Why am I here?"
"You almost miscarried," Dr. Lock says, "James found you in your house bleeding."
"Would you like to see your baby?" he asks.
I nod. "Yes."
A female nurse rolls me in a wheelchair to the baby unit. "Okay, we are going in but you can't carry her. She might get germs," she a heavy Texan accent.
I see her inside a cubical bed thing. She is locked up in there, but she looks fine. I ask the nurse why is she in there. "Well, she is already going to have a week here. We just want to monitor her breathing and heart beat. If she keeps doing well, she might go home soon."
"Thank goodness," I smile. "Wait, so how long have I been out?"
"Three days miss," she says. "You needed to rest your body."
Oh wow.
"She is pretty," I say. "I wish I can hold her."
"You will soon darling," she smiles. "let me inform your relatives and friends that you are awake."
She rolls me to my room and tells me to wait. The door opens again and it's Joe and Briana. "Hey," Joe says, "How are you?"
"Fine," I sigh.
"Your baby is beautiful," Briana hugs me. "I am glad you both are okay."
"Thanks."
"About that," Joe says, "who's the father?"
"You already know," I answer.
"Jackson says it's his,"

What? Jackson?

"No, it is Paul's baby," I answer.

"Joe please, she will get her blood pressure low," Briana says. "We can talk about this when she is at home."

"No," I exclaim, "what do we need to talk about?"

Joe sighs, "Jackson thinks the baby is his."

"He got a warrant from a judge to test his DNA with the baby's," Briana says.

"What?" I ask, "But-"
"Hey," James comes in, "Widow I am glad you are awake."
"And this fool wanted to give the baby his name," Joe says.

"Whoa, what?" okay, this is so weird, all this drama happened while I was gone?

"Widow, please, don't get upset, I just wanted the best for the baby," James says.
"Ssh!" I yell, "whatever thing that is connected to my daughter is my concern. No one should get into my daughter's business. Everyone got that?"

They all nod. "Now, when is the DNA test coming back?"
"Monday," Briana answers.
"I need to talk to Jackson," I say.

"No," Joe says.
"why?" I ask.

"Because he is not that father,"
"Joe, how can you know?" Briana asks, "let the test come back and let them talk over this."

Joe shakes his head in denial. "I hate that kid. No way he is going to get close to Widow or the baby." He storms out of the room and Briana follows him. He is acting strange.

"Widow? Are you mad at me?" James asks. I look at him, "No."
"Okay,"
"What was her name anyways?"
"itzamari Lock,"
I chuckle, "Nice name but that's not hers."
"I know,"
"Can I still name her?"

"Sure,"
I smile, "I want to call her Destiny."
"Destiny? It's a nice name."
"Destiny Johnson," I say. "I am thankful for your care but I really do think I need to take care of her by myself."

"But we are a couple,"
I touch his hand, "I need time alone James. I am so sorry but I am just not capable of being with someone. You understand right?"
He bends to kiss me. "But-"
