Melanie < Continued
"What was that?" I asked looking over at Zayn. "Looks like more drama. Something i don't want you a part of anymore." He says taking a seat next to my bed. "Yeah, you are right. But it wouldn't hurt to find out what she has to say." I say looking over at him and lay my back against the pillows. He shakes his head.
"No. We have a baby to worry about now. I'm not allowing you to get in the mix of Bryson's bullshit anymore." He gives me a stern look as he said that. "Bu-" he cuts me off. "Stop it and gets some rest Mel." I obey sliding down on the bed to my head lays on the pillow, close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
"Can you shut up please. Don't you see her and the baby trying to sleep" A voice mumbles. "You're the one that started talking shit" I open one of my eyes to see Bryson standing over Zayn yelling at him. "What are you two doing? I'm resting here." I sit up rubbing my eyes. I carefully take Syrus out of his crib and kisses his head. "So you guys were arguing and because completely oblivious to my son crying over here?" I glare at both of them.
"I'm sorry Mel" Bryson says backing away from zayn, walks to the edge of the bed leans down and kisses Syrus's head. "I really need you two to get over any bullshit you have going on. Like I said before you guys will be seeing each other a lot and you better get used to it." I told them "I understand that but how do you expect me to get along with him Mel bear" Zayn finally speaks up pointing at Bryson. " like i could get along with you" Bryson scoffs " just stop. All i am asking for you to do is to get along for Syrus." They both sigh then look at each other "sure I'll do it for our son."
"Good. Now i want some alone time with my son. Could you two kindly get out of the room." I smiled at them. "I'll go see about them letting you go home" Zayn walks out the room. "I was talking to you too Bryson. Go find something to do for a few minutes" He sighs "alright" i watch him walk out of the room then look down at Syrus sleeping in my arms. "Now that i have you i hope every thing changes for the better good. I will always protect you even if that means i have to go behind Bryson and Zayn back, call up this Markea chick and find out what she knows about your dad." I whisper this to him while rubbing his head.
I started to whisper i love you Syrus repeatedly as i laid him back in the crib. Grabbing the phone from beside and the napkin that Markea left. I input her number in and presses the call button. .... "hello" "Hi this is Melanie, the girl you saw in labor just a few hours ago." I exhaled softly pulling at my hair a little. "Oh yea. I'm glad you called. I want to tell you a few things about Bryson." She says. I could hear a innocent voice in the background calling out to her. I'm sure it's her daughter Harley.
"Actually i wanted to ask you a few things. Has Bryson ever .. had sex with you without your consent? Has he started to give off stalker vibes? You know things like that." I asked then become greeted by her firmly tell the back ground voices to stop making such a racket. "Sorry I'm letting my daughter have a sleep over and i am quickly regretting it. Anyways yes and no. Bryson has never had sex with me without my agreeing to do it and yes he has given off stalker feels. Back when we first started to talk. He'd constantly blow up my phone and ask to go out, but I've noticed he only does that when he hasn't taken his meds in a while. He also can get aggressive."
I nod "well that good to know. I'll make sure he takes his meds. Oh also his mental condition. Would you happen to know if it's hereditary?" I heard her chuckle "No hun. It's not. You know he doesn't just have erotomania but some anger issues as well. Harley doesn't have it. She the sweetest lil girl ever. So I'm sure you're little boy will be just fine." I smiled at her words. "Ok thank you." "You're welcome. Since we both have a child by Bryson. It's only right we give each other some words of encouragement." She says. "Ok Thank you again Markea. I'm gonna let you go now." "Ok love." I hang up the phone call and put it back beside me. Honestly I feel a lot better about everything. My son is going to grow into a healthy handsome. I lay back on the bed feeling at piece with everything.
Bryson
"Ok so Zayn just told me that you get to home this afternoon." I sat at the edge of bed rubbing her leg. "How are you feeling right now?" Melanie asks me. "I'm feeling good. What about you?" "I'm feeling at peace. I just had our son and you seem to be calm and collected about everything. You and Zayn will work things out hopefully. So i have no reason to be upset or stressed." She giggles looking at me. "So its 9am right now."
I get up and carefully pick up Syrus. "Look who's awake and alert now. Ooo and stinky. Don't worry i got you" i lays him on the bed, unbuttoned his onesie and changed his diaper with a clean one. "Ooo my little buddy is all clean and smelling good" Picking him back up. "Baby." Zayn walks in looking at Melanie. "Yes Zayn."
"I've managed to have the doc let you out early. So I'm gonna pack up you and Sy's stuff while you go change into something comfortable" I stood there holding Syrus close to my chest then sat in the chair so i would not be in anyone's way. "Hey little buddy. You finally get to go home." I smiled kissing his hands. A few minutes passes by, I'm still talking to Syrus. "Ok Ms. Sums. You ready to leave?" The nurse walks in with a wheel chair.
"Yes I'm ready to go home. Bryson can you give me Syrus now?" I get up and lay him in her arm, Zayn had the bags in his hands. The nurse then rolls her out of the room, down the hall to the elevator and rolls her in Zayn and i walk in behind them. The slow descending elevator ride was quite. Until we got off walking outside to the car parked in front of the hospital "Ok. Baby be careful." Zayn says watching Mel get up from the wheelchair holding Syrus in her arms and into the back seat.
She puts Syrus in the car seat next to her, straps him in and closes the door. "Zayn get in the back seat with her. I'll drive back to you guys house." I told him walking to the drivers seat, gets in and starts the car up after putting my seat belt on. Zayn got in the car "thanks for driving." "Aww look you two are finally getting along i see." Melanie says smiling "i guess you could say that." I say driving away from the hospital.
2 weeks later
"I think we should talk about this co-parenting thing Mel. I think we should go through with it" She shakes her head. "No. It's too much. I'm perfectly fine with you coming over when ever you want. You and Zayn are finally getting along. I'm happy, Syrus is happy. No need to worry about any of this. We don't need to settle things in court for what we doing already" She kisses my cheek then gets up walking away. You know she's right...
