Motherhood

Chapter 11

Aaryn laid in her hospital bed, wearing the gown that had been put on her after she'd fainted. She waited anxiously, constantly twisting and turning, shifting her position. "Aaryn, calm down." Mason said to her, clutching her shoulder to stop her from moving. "Yeah, you were going to have to tell Mom and Dad sooner or later, and the more you put it off the worst it would have gotten." Paige stepped in rubbing her sisters back comfortingly.

Aaryn didn't say anything, instead she just continued to lay in her bed and stare up at the ceiling, thinking of all of the bad things that could have happened to her baby. Realizing that it was not only her baby, but it was her parent's grandchild. Her sister's niece or nephew. That is was also Stone's child and that she could have lost it just because she panicked. She thought about how serious everything was, about how much more careful she had to be with everything, about how much help she actually needed.

"Oh my god Aaryn are you okay." She heard her mother call and she stepped through the door followed by her father. Aaryn sat up in the bad, pushing herself against the back folding her hands over her lap. She looked at Mason and Paige, a worried expression on her face. "Everything's going to be okay" Mason whispered to her. "I'll go look for Liam." He said turning around, greeting Aaryn's parents and heading out of the door. Paige also turned away to head out the door but she felt Aaryn grasp on to her wrist. "Stay, please" Aaryn pleaded to her sister, who obliged and returned to her position next to her sister's bed.

"What happened?" Aaryn's father asked, stepping closer to the bed placing a hand on his daughter's forehead. "I fainted" Aaryn said plainly, not looking into either of her parent's eyes, but only staring at her sister sympathetically. Paige gestured for Aaryn to tell their parents the truth, the whole entire truth. "Why did you faint? What caused it?" Aaryn's father asked further as her mother only fiddled with her hands. "Where's Ash?" Aaryn asked changing the subject, noticing her brother was not present.

"He's at Eric's house." Paige reminded her. Aaryn grasped her sisters hand, squeezing it one last time before closing her eyes and turning to face her parents. "Dad, Mom" Aaryn called them both even though she already had all of their attention.

"I fell out because I had dehydration and a panic attack, I was very overwhelmed because Thea was in the hospital and also because, I'm....I'm pregnant." Aaryn finished just revealing the final words, letting go and getting it over with. "You're what." Her father asked again while her Mother stared in disbelief, her eyes wide looking into the eyes of what she thought was her innocent daughter. "I'm so sorry, it was the night at Stone's party, I told him I didn't want to do it but he just kept going. "What!" Garret, Paige and Aaryn's father asked in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me" He yelled turning around and walking towards the chair positioned next to the door. He grabbed out his phone and began to unlock it. "Dad, what are you doing?" Aaryn asked, sitting further up anxiously. "I'm calling the police that's what I'm doing, you were raped Aaryn, that's not okay he needs to be punished." Her father said while searching for the appropriate non emergency phone number. "But dad you can't call." Paige intervened to help her sister. "Why in the hell not?" He asked, a furious tone in his voice while his wife Talia just stared at the floor with tears streaming down her face. "Because I sort of beat the crap out of him." Liam said stepping into the doorway and closing it behind him. "I know I took matters into my own hands, but when she told me what happened I just snapped because he had been walking around gloating about it like she was some slut. That's actually why I came to visit her, because I was talking to the guy and he said he had sex with some girl at his party and that next thing you know she was claiming that she was pregnant, after I asked who it was he responded with 'Aaryn or Paige one of those' and I called Paige to see if it was her, after she told me it wasn't I knew I had to come see what had happened, I knew I had to come back."

"Liam, I know you were just looking out for her, but what you did was wrong, you're lucky he wasn't already disabled or you could be seriously charged because he's a cancer patient. I don't know what we are going to do as of now, but sooner or later we have to tell the police about what he did, he won't get away with it." Talia said wiping the tears from her eyes and stepping closer to her daughter's bed, moving a stray strand of hair from the right side of her face.

"I'll go talk to him okay, I'll make this right I swear. Just, don't tell the police yet, give me a few days and I'll gave this all fixed." Liam said walking fully into the hospital room towards Aaryn's bed and planting a soft tender kiss onto her lips.

"I'll fix it."
