His Baby Girl {Waterloo Road}

09

Grace sat in the house. Lily was with Simon and Charley to which Grace was grateful. She loved Lily. But she didn't want her daughter to see her when she was so upset.

Grace felt sick and hurt. She was missing Max and she was pregnant. She didn't know what to do. But she did know that she couldn't forgive him sleeping with Sue. He had broken her heart.

She knew all that had happened with Simon. And so did Max. And that's what made it hurt even more.

Grace looked to he phone and sighed as she saw all of the missed calls and texts off of Max. She couldn't look at them. She couldn't even speak to him after all that he had done. She just couldn't believe he would sleep with Sue of all people.

Grace knew it killed her to think about. Grace looked at her phone and sighed. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and nodded. She knew that she couldn't be upset over Max Tyler anymore. She knew that he wasn't the most important in her life. Lily was. And she was going to focus on Lily and being a good mum. Lily was all that mattered to her and no one else.

Grace sighed as she heard a knock at the door. She stood up and answered it as she saw Max. She went to slam the door as he stopped her and put his foot in the way. "Please. We need to talk," he said.

Grace looked at him and rolled her eyes. "No. We really don't need to talk. We have nothing to say," she said.

"You're having my baby," Max told her as he walked towards her.

Grace rolled her eyes and sighed. "Who said I was keeping it? Max, I'm pregnant and it has nothing to do with you. Not after what you did. Leave or I'll call the police. Why don't you go and see Sue. I'm sure she will be more than happy to keep you company. Maybe you can find a desk to screw her on," she spat.

"Grace."

"No Maxwell Gerrard Tyler. Do not Grace me. We're over and I want nothing more to do with you. Ever again," Grace said.

Max looked at at her and sighed. Grace slammed the door in his face.

Grace got to Charley and Simon's later on that day. She smiled as she saw Lily. Lily ran over to her as Grace smiled and held her close.

"Are you okay?" Simon asked as he gave Lily her biscuit she had left on the table. He knew he and Grace weren't together but he cared a lot about her. And she was the mother of his child after all. They were good friends. Despite everything that had gone on between them.

Grace shrugged. "I'm pregnant. And Max won't leave me alone and I really don't feel too good," she mumbled as she sat down.

Charley smiled. "Yeah I really don't know what men see in Sue," she said as she looked at Simon.

Simon sighed to himself. He knew that she was hinting at him and how he cheated on her too. Simon knew he had made a mistake. And how they were trying to make it up.

Simon sighed. "It's not easy. Max may have just made a mistake. But you need to tell him. As like it or not, you're pregnant with his baby. And you need to make a decision. And if you are having the baby, he has rights," Simon said.

Grace looked at him and sighed knowing that he was right. And sooner or later, she would have to face Max.
