Choices (Book 1)

Chapter 23

Moma's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night because of the thoughts that were running through my head.

Ever since Jordan's funeral, I've been having trouble sleeping at night. The day he died keeps replaying in my head.

Flashback...
A month after i found out about my pregnancy, Derek told me that he knows where Jordan is.

i asked him to take me to go see him. we got into the car and Derek drove us to wherever the place is. i was confused when he parked in his driveway
"aren't we going to Jordan?"
"uhm... yeah, he's here."
"what?!? and you're only telling me this now?!"
"i didn't want to stress you out or anything. i'm sorry." he held my hand and kissed my forehead.

we got out of the car and Derek directed me to the room that Jordan was in. He unlocked the door, and there he was. Tied up on a chair with a swollen eye and a busted lip.

He looked up and was surprised to see me.
"Hey mami." he tried smirking.
"don't hey mami me! do you know what the fuck you've done to me? you have literally ruined my life!"
"it's not that big of a deal. it's just a baby, you can always get rid of it."

I grabbed Derek's gun from the table and pointed it at Jordan. I couldn't believe how nonchalant he was about what happened. Does he know what he did to me? Does he know the things he put me through, the sleepless nights i've had.

"what the fuck did you just say?"
"woah mami chill. you weren't this feisty when i was hitting it, you were screaming my name."
"that's because i was crying for help you sick fuck! you put me in so much pain... and y-you think i was enjoying that?!" i shouted at him and felt a tear roll down my face.
"psshhh whatever."

i quickly wiped the tear off of my face and put the gun back onto the table. i told Derek that i want to leave and he held my hand. As we were about to leave I heard the chair move. I turned around and Jordan was trying to untie himself.

I guess he didn't notice that i could see what he was doing so he continued trying to untie the rope. One of his hands were loose so he tried to reach for the gun.

I lunged to the table, grabbed the gun then heard a loud bang. I looked over at Derek.
"I-I didn't pull the trigger, i swear."
"yeah i know, that's because i did."

I was literally shaking, staring at his body on the floor. Derek walked to me and hugged me while rubbing my back.
"I'm sorry Moma."

Flashback over...

Derek turned over and rubbed his eyes.
"What's wrong baby?"
"I just have a lot on my mind, but it's fine you can go back to sleep."

He sat up and put his arms around me and kissed my cheek. He grabbed his phone and checked the time.
"Damn, it's 03:35. You hungry?"
I smiled. He always knows how to cheer me up.
I nodded my head and he stood up and changed into some sweatpants and a hoodie.

We went down to the kitchen and i sat by the kitchen island while watching Derek make our food. 
"Stop staring at me you creep." He said while rinsing a glass.
"It's not my fault that my boyfriend is fine as hell."
He chuckled and dished up for us.

We decided to watch a movie while eating.
Then we heard the door open. I held onto Derek's hand but he moved my hand and stood up to go see who it was.

I felt my heart beating through my chest and watched Derek move to the door. The door finally opened and it was just my mom. I let out a huge breath of relief.

Mom stared at Derek with a confused look on her face.
"What are you guys doing up so early in the morning?"
"Hi Mrs Jones." Derek said while pinching the bridge of his nose...

After eating, we went back to sleep since i have a doctor'a appointment at 9 o'clock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
later that day...

The doctor told me about the baby's growth and health. Damn this baby is growing fast. I got my pills and filled out some forms.

Derek was waiting for me in the waiting room and I waved at him to tell him that i was done. We walked to his car and he opened the door for me.

Once we were in the car, He turned to me.
"We haven't talked about any baby names." he said while placing his hand on my thigh
"Yeah, I know. Don't you think it's too soon?"
"It's never too soon, and we can't keep referring to it as 'the baby', she or he needs a name."

I looked down at my belly and sighed.
"Okay then, what names do you have in mind?"
"We need to find unisex names since we don't know the gender yet."

We sat in the car for about an hour looking for baby names.
"Okay how about Payton?"
"Boy what in the hell. Of course not."
"It was just a suggestion, and it's better than 'Noel'." He said while laughing.
"Shut up." I laughed with him and hit his arm.
"We'll think of more names when we get home."
