Beth
It's been four months.
I'm four months pregnant.
And there's not a day where I don't cry about giving this baby up.
Slade?
He doesn't been affected... he's calm. He's there to comfort me of course! But... he doesn't love on this baby. No talking to him or her, no touching... no nothing.
And meanwhile I'm breaking.
I talk to our baby all the time...
"Okay, ready to find out the gender?" my nurse walks in.
"Yes" I nod with a smile, even though I know after we find out the gender, my heart is gonna break into more million pieces.
Slade holds my hand and I look at him and he sends me an encouraging smile. "I love you" he mouths.
"I love you too" I mouth.
"Alright!" the nurse, Giovanna, says after she puts that blue goo on me. "There's your baby!" she shows us the ultrasound.
I whimper before I cry and Slade frowns. "It's okay baby... remember, you don't have to do this if you don't want to" he says softly.
"I can't leave you and raise this baby alone. I want him or her to have a happy life with two parents. Not reckless teens" I choke on my tears and he frowns.
"Ready to find out the gender?" Giovanna asks.
"As ready as we'll ever be" I sadly smile.
"Alright! You're having a baby girl!!!" she announces and I gasp.
I look at Slade. "A girl!!"
He smiles and kisses my forehead. "A baby girl" he comforts.
I hug him tightly.

I'm a mess.
I'm so drained and distraught.
Here I am... looking at families, crying my eyes out.
"I hate this" I throw the paper and put my head in my hands.
Then a knock is heard from my front door, so I fix myself and walk out of my room and to the door.
