Chapter Thirty: "Family Matters (Part One)"

This chapter is dedicated to roseyangels

I remember pushing. Grayson had been yelling, and so was I. I was pretty sure that I had squeezed his hand so hard that his circulation cut off, but he seemed okay.

My hair was drenched with sweat and pasted to my forehead. The makeup was still on my face, but it was waterproof. My throat was dry, and I was in desperate need of some water. The pain was so intense, and I could barely breathe. The nurse hands me one of the babies and the other to Grayson. He looked so weird in scrubs, but he was still sexy.

I was crying tears of joy. I look over at Ethan who looked as if he were about to faint. I laugh a bit and look down at the crying baby boy.

"Are we gonna announce the names?," I ask Gray. He doesn't answer me right away. He was too busy rocking the other baby.

"No, not just yet," he smiles. "Let's all wait till everyone's together."

The nurses come and take them away. I was sad to see them go, but I knew that they'd be back soon.

"You should get some rest," the nurse suggests.

I nod as I watch Ethan walk out into the hallway along with Mel. Grayson stands beside the bed with his hands in his tux pockets. His tie had been loosened and he looked rough. I look at the clock.

"You should go to prom. It doesn't start until thirty minutes."

He shakes his head. "Looking like this? No way. Plus, I want to be here with you."

"But Mel may win prom queen, and I'm sure Ethan doesn't want to be stuck here. Just tie your tie and push your hair back. You'll be fine."

"Who the fuck cares about Mel? I say fifty bucks that Myra will win, and if there's a chance the twin's are Ethan's he should want to be here himself!"

My face sinks. I had been so caught up in the commotion that I had forgotten that I knew who the father was.

"Grayson...I have to tell you something," I say grabbing his hand.

He sits on the edge of the bed. My heart was pounding like a hammer in my chest, and sweat began to surface.

"What is it?" he asks.

I take a deep breath. I wanted to be relieved from all this confusion. I had to tell him what I knew.

"You're...I mean, Ethan..."

He raises his eyebrow, begging for more. I didn't know if I could go through with this.

"Ethan's the father. I-I got a DNA test done from your DNA on the cups from the obgyn, and... Yeah."

He looks at me with a lost look. I felt as if I had been looking at a ghost. All of the tan had left his skin, leaving it pale.

"Gray?" I ask wanting a response.

He continues to be silent. I could only imagine how much this was hurting him.

"Grayson, I'm sorry. I just... I'm sorry," I begin to cry.

"I'm....hurt," he says as a tear breaks free from his eyes. "But I'm happy. At least now, I know the truth."

His grip loosens from my hand and he stands up. I start to speak, but instantly Mom and Dad walk in.

"Oh, Jade! We saw the babies in the nursery, and they're absolutely beautiful!" Mom squeals coming over to hug me.

I focus my eyes on Grayson who was shaking Dad's hand. My dad loved Grayson, probably even more than I did.

He sniffles and lookes at me. His eyes were firery and filled with betrayal. I had no intentions of hurting him like this, but this was what it had come to. Maybe it was for the best.

Dad kissed me on the forehead. I paid no attention to it. My eyes were still firmly placed on Gray.

"Mom, Dad, can you give me and Grayson a minute?" I ask. I wasn't done with him.

Confused, they look at each other and nod.

"Of course sweetie. We're going to go get something to eat. We'll be right back."

They exit the room as they had came before. Grayson clenches his jaw. This time it was in anger. His emotions were becoming even more clear to me. Lately, I had been able to read him like a book.

"I thought you said that you would still love me," I remind.

"I do."

"Then why are you acting like this? Like, like you don't love me?"

He shrugs. "I didn't think that it would hurt this much. I use to think that I was invincible, but now... I don't know. I was confident that I was the father, but I guess not."

"I didn't think that it would hurt this much either," I agree. "Did Ethan and Mel leave already?"

He nods. He was still hurt, and it bothered me. I had the solution to this situation, but I was too deep in to fix it.

"I'm sorry Grayson. I would make everything better than it is if I could."

He sighs. "Everything's okay. At least I'm still an uncle."

"Yeah," I lightly laugh. My emotions were swarming out of control. I didn't even know what to feel right now.

All that I could think about was what the hell did I just do?
