Roxanne(Completed)

4

My mom went back to work and took Rose to her babysitter. I'm in the hospital room with Micah's mom and we're waiting on him to wake up. "So he came to your house hooked on drugs?"

"Yes. I didn't know at first until I saw his eyes."

"This isn't his first time in the hospital because of this. He came home a few weeks ago just drugged up and I thought he was done because he tried to get it out of his system and he was going to school. But I guess not."

"I didn't know he was like this but I haven't even known him for a full week yet."

"Your really what he needs. I mean as a friend because all his friends are drug dealers and crackheads." I smile. "I'm glad we're friends."

"You look exactly like your mom by the way."

"I know. We're like twins. Basically the same name hers is Roxanna and mine is Roxanne."

"I'm guessing she named you?"

"Yeah."

"What about your dad? What's his name?"

"His name is Derrick. He didn't really contribute to my life but still ended up getting custody of me."

"Oh. Is he mean to you?"

"No..he kinda just keeps to himself."

"Oh okay. If anything goes wrong you can stay. We have a guest room."

"Thanks."

I'm still at my mom's house. She has someone over and I'm in my bed. Tomorrow is Saturday and the nurse, Jamie is taking me to the doctor tomorrow. Speaking of me being pregnant. I'm really hungry. I'm just gonna slowly go downstairs and get me some chips and come back. I get out of bed. I was doing nothing because I like to sleep quiet. I go downstairs and saw that they were kissing on the couch. Oh my God. Is that Derrick- no my dad? "Good your down here. Your dad tells me your pregnant." I freeze. "Mom-."

"I don't wanna hear it. What are you doing having sex at sixteen?"

"Mom..its-."

"I don't wanna hear it Roxanne. I think you should go."

"It's night-."

"Leave." I only have socks on. I walk out of the house and started walking to Micah's house. I couldn't stop crying. I knocked on their door. It opened. "Roxanne? What's going on?"

"I need to stay. Can I stay?"

"Yeah of course doll." She took me upstairs to the guest room. "Thank you."

"Your welcome sweetheart. Do you need anything?"

"Um. Something to eat please."

"Okay." I laid down. I can't stop crying. "I'm back. I have some chips and do you want water or milk or soda?"

"Just water."

"Okay."

"What's going on?"

"Roxanne needs to stay."

"Oh. You okay?"

"No."

"What happened?"

"My mom kicked me out."

"Why?"

"She found out I was pregnant."

"What? How?"

"My dad told her."

"I thought no one knew."

"He's who I'm pregnant by." He didn't say anything for awhile. He hugged me  "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I wish I knew that this was going on."

"I know. No one knows."

"Have you told my mom?"

"No. You can tell her if you want."

"I'll tell her later." She came back. "Thank you."

"No problem. Come on Micah." He kissed my forehead. "Goodnight." They walked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up. I look down and I see Micah's arms. I turn around and he's staring right at me. "Good morning. I figured that you didn't want to be alone."

"No I didn't. Thanks."

"Your welcome." I turn back around. I'm thinking about last night again and I'm crying again. "Everything is okay. You can stay. You and your baby can stay."

"Thank you. But my mom doesn't know it's my dad's baby. I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen."

"You don't need them. You got me." I smiled. "Thank you. I appreciate it. My baby will too."

"Do you know the gender yet?"

"No not until I'm twenty weeks. Wait." I got up. "Jamie is supposed to take me to the doctor."

"Jamie?"

"The nurse at school. She's probably at my mom's house."

"You wanna go see?"

"Yeah."

"Okay come on." We rushed outside and got into his car. He drove to her house. She is here. I got out. "There you are Roxanne. Are we still going?"

"Yeah. I just need a change of clothes."

"Your not coming into this house."

"Why not?"

"Your pregnant."

"I'm pregnant with Derrick's child."

"Your lying. Why would you be pregnant by your dad?"

"He raped me mom. But actually I think I can go like this. We can go Jamie."

~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's see... your twenty two weeks. So six months."

"Six? Are you sure?"

"Yes your belly is really small. So they haven't moved?"

"I don't think so."

"They'll move when they're ready. Your having a beautiful baby boy. He's alive and healthy."

"Okay."

"Want a picture?"

"Sure thanks."

"I'll be back." She walked out. "When did you take a pregnancy test?"

"Like a month ago."

"Oh."

"Do you have a baby?"

"I have three kids."

"It hurts doesn't it?"

"Yeah but once it's over, it's over. You might be sore but in a few weeks you'll be fine. But to think about it you just gave someone a life."

"I just...I really wanted my mom to be here for me. I don't know when I was gonna tell her but I couldn't have waited any longer. The baby is coming in three months."

"Yeah..so you and Micah?"

"I don't know. I feel like I need to focus on my baby first."

"I understand. Do you like him though?"

"I do. He's cute and sweet."

"I bet."

"You know what?"

"What?"

"I have to tell my friends that I'm pregnant."

"It'll be fine. "

"I hope so."
