Can you keep a secret? (Justin Fanfic)

Chapter Thirty-Three Eliza

I woke up on a bed in a quiet room with a throbbing headache. I sat up and reaslied that I must have been put here once I passed out. Damn! I was so sure I wouldn't pass out this time.

I threw my legs over the side of the bed and looked up at the clock on the wall. I couldn't believe it... was it really 7:30pm? Wow, I must have been out for quite a bit, I felt really bad as I remember Jessicah telling me not to pass out.

The door swung open and a doctor walked in. He didn't notice I was up unil he got to the side of the bed as he was staring at the ground.

He finally looked up and jumped at seeing me sitting up. "Oh Justin. You woke up. Nice headache?" He teased.

I rolled my eyes. "It's not the first time." I replyed rubbing my head.

He lifted an eyebrow. "Second child?" His eyes looked me up and down like he was assesing me.

I shook my head. "I've only got one. He's three."

He looked even more confused then before. "Then what is your relation with Jessicah?"

I shook my head. "Girlfriend. Look it's really none of your business. Can I go see Jess?"

He cleared his throat. "Yes sure. You might want to take it easy for a bit though.You hit your head pretty hard. It's been a long time since i've seen anyone fainting in the delivery room... well the male that is." He chuckled.

"Ha ha very funny. Can you take me to see her now." I said in an annoyed tone. I was getting impatient now.

He must have picked up the tone in my voice as he nodded and quickly turned around. He led me to the door and down the coridoor. It didn't take long until he stoped outside of a room and opened the door for me.

"This is her room right?" He asked.

He nodded."You asked for Jessica's room and here it is." He reassured me and turned to walk away.

I didn't bother with him anymore and walked into the room where I found my very.. sad Girlfriend? Her face was streaked with tears though she had her baby girl in her arms. She hadn't heard me come in so when I sat down beside her she jumped.

"Oh Justin you scared me!" She said and looked down at her child which was stirring in her arms.

"Sorry." I appologised then cleared my throat. "You thought of a name?"

She looked up at me. "I don't know. I was thinking Jasmine or Elizabeth? You got any ideas?" Her eyes scanned my face before looking back down at her baby.

I shook my head. "I don't know. I like them both. Hmmm what about Eliza?"

She smiled. "That's pretty. It's old but pretty. A middle name? Mae?"

I smiled. "That's pretty. Eliza mae."

She lent in to kiss her forehead. "I love it."

After a few moments she changed the topic. "I can't believe you passed out Justin." She chuckled.

I hid my face in my hands. "I didn't mean to. It was embarrasing for me too you know."

She shook her head slowly. "I know. I made them take a photo before putting you on the stretcure." Her lips formed a huge smile.

My eyes widened. "You did what?!" I asked loudly making Eliza stir.

She laughed. "Don't worry it's only to show your mum." Before I could answer she changed the topic once more. "Oh by the way she called."

"My mum? Oh crap! I forgot to tell her. I'm so grounded." I complained and felt my pockets for my phone.

Jess giggled and passed me my phone from the bench. "Your mum sounded very angry. The school called to tell her you were now suspended." She rolled her eyes.

I bit my lip. "It's your fault. I jumped out the window in detention to get to the hospital for you." She looked offended so I lent in and pecked her lips before she could answer.

Jess smiled. "Detention aye? Was that for fighting with Chaz?"

I nodded. "Yeah it was. I've got a weeks worth."

Jess laughed. "That sounds right. What was all that over anyway?" She lifted her eyebrow.

I shook my head. "Don't worry about it. It's a very long story. I should probably ring him back too."

Eliza stirred once more and Jess turned her attention to her before looking back up at me. "Do you want to hold her?" She lifted her arms up to me.

I nodded and took Eliza from her arms. "Hey there sweetheart. My name is Justin."

"She can call you dad." Jess butted in.

I looked up at her. "Dad? But I'm not... Oh right. Are you ever going to tell her about her real father? "

Jess shook her head. "Probably not. Your more of a father to her than him. You were there for me and her the whole way and you never gave up on me." Her eyes filled with tears.

I half smiled."Why are you crying?"

She shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. "It's nothing... I mean I just can't believe his real father ... Isn't here."

I didn't know what to say. I want to say something soothing but I am more likely to make it worse... I'm going to try anyway. "It's okay Jess, everything happens for a reason. If it didn't happen I would have never met you." I smiled.

She bit her lip and nodded."Yeah I know Justin, its just weird thinking about it. Don't get me wrong, I love you so much but there's still a part of me that won't let go of him."

I nodded. "I know what you mean and it's alright Jess, I love you too and we now have our own little family. Dont you think?"

She smiled. "Yes I think so. Thank you Justin."

I smiled and lent in to kiss her once more before sitting down on the edge of the bed and softly stroking Eliza's hair.

There was silence for the next few minutes as we watched Eliza drift off to sleep in my arms. Once she was definitely sleeping I got Up and placed her in the crib set up next to Jessica's bed.

I watched her for a moment. "She looks so much like you."

Jessicah sighed. "I guess that's a good thing."

I smiled. "Yeah it is."

She blushed. "There is one thing I need to tell you."

I creased my forehead in confusion. "What's that?"

She sighed once more. "Did you realise that my Aunty wasn't here?"

I thought back for a second before nodding. "Yeah I just realised.... Why not?"

A tear fell from her eye. "We'll she said that once I had Eliza she would disown me. I don't have anywhere to go." She wiped her cheek dry.

My face dropped. "Oh Jess you know my mum won't mind if you stay there. We can set up Noah's old crib in my room."

She smile slightly. "Are you sure Justin? I don't want to disrespect your mum and her privacy." Her cheeks went bright red.

I shook my head. "Don't worry about it because I know that mum will let you stay. We are a family now... Remember."
