My Baby

The Birth

Great, not only is she pregnant with Greg's baby, but he's gonna be there when it's born.

That was the last thing on my mind that day, before I slept. Today it was the first, as today is June 18, the baby-to-be's birthday. The same bloomin day as mine.

I get to the hospital and meet Collette at the front. We walk up to the counter and she says "Miss Cuchara here" and we are led to a room.

Collette is given an injection and is told to sit on the bed and grip the bars, and the rest happens in the space of about 4 hours. First she starts getting contractions, and she is nervous because Greg hasn't shown up yet. I check her phone for her and she has a message and it reads:

Greg: Sucker! Can't believe you fell for that Collie, of course I'm not gonna help you raise that kid, I wanted a no strings sex session, not a kid. I'm now getting on a flight and headed to America for work. Have fun with the baby!

Shocked, I tell Collette, and she freaks and pushes hard. She really doesn't want this baby right now, and i know how she must feel. I was left with a budgie, Herman, of whom my ex just wanted to get rid of before he broke up with me. I grew to love Herman, and was mist upset when he died.

Eventually, at 2:00pm, the baby was born. He was taken off to be weighed and measured and Collette says to me "I can't do this, I can't look after him. I don't know how but i can tell you do. Be his father now," she takes out £500 and hands it to me, "please look after my baby, I have to go." With that she walks out the door.

A nurse comes in and says "Where did the madam Collette go sir?"
