This Changes Everything - a Patrick Kane fanfic

chapter twenty-four

So my pregnancy was flying by and everything was looking super good and I found out we were having a little girl.

She was going to perfect and I was so excited. I was eight and a half months pregnant and I found myself in Chicago with Allison and we were taking maternity pictures together. My parents and siblings were also there.

We got lots of cute pictures and we were all at Allison's house and I started getting contractions... 

"Als, I think I'm in labor.." I said

"Are you sure?" She asked

"Yes! My water just broke.."

My mom drove me to the hospital and Allison came with.

Allison got me in my room and they guessed that it would be another three or so hours. 

My mom was going back home to get everyone else.

"Do you want me to call him?" Allison asked

I hesitated for a second and said, "No, it's better if he isn't here."

"Are you sure?" She asked

"Yeah.. I'll call him after she is born."

"I'm calling him now.." She said

Allison called Ryan and she was 

My sibling were in my room with my parents right until it was time. Allison was staying to hold my hand and be my person.

After about thirty minutes, I was holding a beautiful baby girl in my arms.. I cried the second she was put into my arms..

"Hello, my beautiful little girl.." I said kissing her small head

She was perfectly healthy. My heart was so full.

"Welcome to the world Lauren Ella.." I said

"She's beautiful.." Allison said

I was on instagram and Patrick was dating this girl, Amanda. She was three months pregnant..

My parents and siblings adored her and so did I.

I was finally released from the hospital the next afternoon and that morning I realized that I had nothing with me..

"Als, I need you to go to Patrick's and get the carseat and the onsies, diapers, and all that.."

She went to his house and I held my daughter.

PATRICK'S POV:

There was a knock on my door and I opened it and saw Allison there. She gave me a hug after she came in.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked smiling

"I need to grab some baby stuff.." she said

"For you?" I asked very confused

"For Ash.." She blurted out

"Is she pregnant?" I asked 

"No, she just had a baby.." 

"What?" I asked in shock 

"She wanted to keep it a secret, considering the past. We were taking pictures and well, here we are.." 

"In his room.." I said

I went on Instagram and saw that Ashley posted a picture of a beautiful little girl.

Lauren Ella, my beautiful sweet daughter

Wow.. Ashley had a baby with that guy she just met...

"Is she staying at your house?"

"Yeah.."

"Tell her to stay here. I'm going to be gone for our first road trip."

"Are you sure?" She asked me

"Yes, everything is here."

She took the carseat and two hours later she was back with Ashley and her daughter.

Amanda, my girlfriend, was here now, shit..

They came in and Ashley said, "I thought you weren't supposed to be here?"

"I'm leaving in three hours.." I said

She went and sat on the couch with the baby and I went to my room and I broke down crying... I wanted that so damn bad, now she has it with another guy...

My door opened and it was Ashley..

"Can I shower?" She asked

My back was turned to her as I said, "Yeah"

She went in the bathroom and showered. Amanda and Allison had her baby..

I left my room and Ashley came out in my clothes..

She went into the nursery and sat in the chair she was obsessed with and fed her daughter. 

I walked in and she asked, "Do you want to hold her?"

"No.." I said

Ryan walked in and took the baby and he smiled at me.. Weird..

Amanda came in and kissed me goodbye and I went out to the kitchen and Allison said, "Okay, well I need to go home and change clothes. Ryan, I need you to come with to grab all Ashley's stuff."

He didn't hesitate and he got up to leave.

I was getting ready to leave and Ashley came out holding Lauren and asked, "Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, why do you want a kiss goodbye?" I bitched back to her

She rolled her eyes and started to cry.. Shit.

"I'm sorry, okay?" I asked even ruder

"No... I'm sorry.." She said putting the baby in the super fancy baby swing we had

She sat on the couch and said, "I've been awful to you this past year and a half. We have been through so much, but I made you face it alone when I knew you needed me. But I couldn't stand to break your heart again. You give me so much and I wasn't able to give you one simple thing, a baby.."

"That isn't your fault.." I said to her

"I know, but it felt like my fault. I treated you awful and I don't want to keep fighting with you... " She said

"So, now what?" I asked her

"I'm sorry.." She said hugging me

"Sorry doesn't help anymore. You have your own family.." I said 

She was too late... I wanted her and her alone.. She left me and had a baby with Ryan.

"See that's the look of your heart breaking.." She said

"Glad you know one thing about me still.." I said getting up and leaving
