Mackenna

Well, I've been here for a month. I'm four months pregnant.I hate this feeling. I'm sick all the time, it I'm not allowed to leave my bed. Skip didn't bother me after the last time he was here. I am getting a visit from Andrew and Claire today. This should be fun!

By noon, the nurse comes in and gives me my medication for getting better and my pre natal vitamines.

"You have company." She says. In walk the twins.

"Hey Aunty Mackenna!" Claire says as she hugs me.

"Hey Aunt Mac." Andrew says and stands in the corner.

"How is your mother?" I ask them. They look at each other as if pondering the thought of whether they should tell me

"She's fine." Andrew tells me.

"She's happy at least..." Claire says.

"She told you not to say anything Claire!!"

"Shut up Andrew!"

"Not to say anything about what?" I ask.

"Mum is pregnant." She tells me.

"And she's with Daniel..." Andy says quietly.

"Is it his baby?"

"No, but she is going to make him think it is." Claire tells me.

"Guys, visiting time for Ms. Woods is over, she needs her rest." My nurse tells the twins. I get hugs from the preppy go lucky niece and my nefew who dresses to look like hell warmed over. I send Skip a text warning him about my cousin's plan; 'Watch out, she's evil and she is trying to blackmail you.' I type and put my phone down on the table beside me.

Skip (1:02 pm) : What are you talking about?

I don't answer. I go for a nap instead.

"Mackenna, I love you. Please, let me show you. I want to be here for you and the baby. I want to let you know that I love you both, and that I will never crew up with you ever again." He tells me.

"That's what you said eleven months ago, when the baby was made, Daniel." I accuse.

"This time it's different. This time there is a child involved, and I don't want the her to bounce back and forth between parents like I did."

"Hey girl, I see you made an effort with your lipstick. But you got some on your teeth you fucking dipshit. You're a hot mess and I like -"

"Hello?" I say graugy.

"I've called you six times!"

"Who is this?" I ask

"Skip."

"No wonder I didn't answer."

"What do you know that I don't about Nickohle?"

"It isn't you're baby, Daniel."

"You're just being a jealous bitch. Leave me alone." He says and hangs up. Well fuck you too.

Daniel

Mackenna finally answers and I don't believe a thing she says. She's being a bitch because I chose her cousin and the twins over her and the baby. Nickohle isn't pregnant. And I know that for a fact. Yeah, I have an open relationship with her. We don't act all couply, we just sleep together. Big deal is? Mackenna won't let me see my baby, so be it. I don't care right now.

Nicki (9:47 am) : Hey come over. I need to talk to you while the twins are in LA.

Okay, so maybe, just maybe, Mackenna does have a point... I am on the way to her house as we speak, but I only just left my dad's and it takes about an hour to get to Panton Hill from Melbourne.

I am 15 minutes from Panton when my phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Daniel?"

"Yes, Nickohle?" I say, pulling over on the side of the road, knowing this is going to be a long call.

"What are we going to do?"

"What do you mean?" I ask her, unimpressed with this conversation already.

"It's your baby." She says.

"Can you catch me up to speed please?"

"I took a pregnancy test this morning, because I was sick? One of those ones that can tell you how pregnant you are. I'm 4 weeks pregnant Daniel. It's your baby."

"Actually, we are what teenagers call 'fuck buddies' so who knows how many other men you have had sex with since we got together."

"No I haven't. Daniel it's yours, I swear it is."

"I'm not having this conversation with you right now. I have to pay child support on Mackenna and the baby already. I'm not doing that for you too, because I know damn straight it isn't mine."

"Yes it is. And you wouldn't have to pay. You can be part of the baby's life." She says. I hang up. Fuck that. I'd rather pay child support.
