CHAPTER 31

MITCH POV

I am in my hotel room contemplating on whether to go see Jessica. I came here to see her so why am I so nerves to go and see her dammit. Its Friday afternoon, I will go see her tomorrow at the baby shower.

JESSICA POV

It's finally the day of my party and I am so excited to find out if it's a Girl or Boy. I can hear lots of people in and out of the house I walk downstairs to see guys dressed in suits and carrying around silver trays so fancy shmancy. I walk out into the backyard and the place just looks breathe taking and I can't help but cry damn hormones.

I head back inside and start getting done I take a shower and plug in my curling wand I apply light makeup and start curling my hair once done I grab my long white dress and put on some sandals and wait for Jasmine to call me out.

*PING*

JAKE: Enjoy the baby shower I wish I could be there but I did drop off a present for the baby.

ME: thank you love, you shouldn't have can't wait to see it.

Jasmine walks in and hands me a white flower headband she takes my hand and walks me downstairs and outside.

Everybody claps hands and again I start crying my mom hands me a box of tissues.

I sit in the centre of all the tables and we start playing games. Guessing if it's a boy or girl. 95% said it's a boy. We start unwrapping gifts and I see a big box coming my way and judging from the wrapping I know it's Jake gift I read the card

May your bundle of joy bring nothing but happiness into your life

-Jake

I open it up to see he bought me a car seat. Oh, wow I cry even more.

We played more games took pictures and opened up a bunch of gifts. It was finally time to reveal the gender I have been waiting so long for this. Everybody has a can of spray paint with either pink or blue paint inside.

"On the count of 3 we all will spray our cans"

PINK spray fly all over the place "I am having a BABY GIRL" I scream.

When the pink spray clears, I see Mitch standing at the door he looks so different so much older so sexy No Jessica you can't think this way. He stands against the door frame in a black suit with his hands in his pocket staring at me. He walks to me and everybody stops in their tracks the room falls silent and my throat dries up. I stand up as he gets closer.

"What are you doing here Mitch"?

"Did you honestly think I won't find out about this Jessica"?

"How did you know? How did you find out"?

"I knew the same time you found out Jessica and you honestly thought I wouldn't know and think that you carrying somebody else's child"?

"Wait hold up there you knew about this and you said nothing? You trying to make me look bad and feel guilty but you couldn't step up and be a father you had 4 months to come up to me and confront me about it? Now you want to come here and ask me this shit you just proved to me that you are not fucking capable of being a father to my daughter I understand you walking out of my life Mitch but to do it to your daughter that isn't even born yet. What will happen when she is born".
