Chapter 4

"You should stop teasing yourself and open it." Phil said. "It is better to know the truth." Breathe in. Breathe out. "This is why Louise stabbed Dan in the mouth with the cotton bud?" he laughed.

"Yes"

"Ms. Kelemen?"

"Yes?"

"We have to run a few scans, but until then we have to keep her at the intensive care."

"Thank you" The nurse went back.

"Open it, I probably have nothing to do with this but if you're not going to open it, I'm going to have some sort of heart disease."

"Okay I'll open it." I started reading it.

"So?"

"The alleged father is not excluded as the biological father of the tested child. Based on testing results obtained from analyses of the DNA loci listed, the probability of paternity is 99.9997%. "

"Oh my god"

"Oh my god"

"Oh my god"

"Oh my god"

"Okay we should stop saying oh my god."

"Okay."

"Sooner or later you have to tell D.... Oh hey, what are you doing here?"

"Got bored of sitting home. What is that paper?"

"N...Nothing" I stuttered, and I put it back into my bag.

"Would both of you murder me if I'd go home?"

"No" I shook my head. "Emotionally supporting me is really tiring, you deserve the rest."

Phil left after telling us good luck, he stared into my soul. "You remember Gatsby's party?"

"What Gatsby?"

"You know, the guy who was like Gatsby, held all these fucking parties and we never seen him. And even though we probably did see him, we didn't know it was him"

"I was drunk that night. I only remember seeing you there, we spoke to each other for a minute, when a guy stopped by with vodka, and blackout."

A nurse came up to us, that we can go in for a short amount of time to visit her.

We stood at the window, and stared at her. Dan had his left arm around my shoulder.

I knew I cannot tell him.

I cannot ruin his whole life with this.

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"For being here. You barely know me, but you're here, you're supporting me."

"Not a problem at all." He smiled at me for a brief second. "Actually, I do know you, we went to the same uni"

"Right" 

"Come on, let's sit down now" He guided me to the 'resting place', and we both sat down.

I fell asleep after 10 more minutes. 

I woke up to the sound of Dan and someone else. I didn't open my eyes, I just listened to the conversation first. I couldn't catch the beginning of the conversation, so I only joined mid-sentence.

"...better now?"

"Yes, yes. Are you her father, or something? Oh so silly of me, sorry for bothering you with such questions. If she woke up, tell her that she can go into her room."

"Sure thanks." Few moments passed, and I fell back asleep. I woke up again when I felt someone putting something on me. I opened my eyes to see Dan getting up.

"Mmm" I groaned silently, he immediately turned to me.

"Did I wake you up?" He looked tired.

"No, no." I got up. I reached into my pocket and found some change. "I'm going to get some coffee, do you want one too?"

"No thank you"

"You look tired-" he cut me off.

"I forgot to say, the nurse was around, Hannah is fine, you can go visit her in her room, I don't wanted to wake you up, because you are probably really tired."

"Thank you. If you want to go home and get some rest, I don't want to stop you, you can go if you want to, I.."

"I get it, it is really sweet of you. You sure you'll be fine?

"Yes. Thank you."

"I'll get a taxi then. Are you absolutely sure?"

"Yes. And thank you." I hugged him really tightly. 

"No problem. I'll talk to you later..?"

"Yes sure, just one more thing, I'm awful at friendships, at first I'm really shy and then I kind of start to get annoying, I thought it would be better for you to know" I said and he started laughing.

"That's okay" 

"Oh, good. And again, thank you"

"Wait, before I'm off, we should go take a look at Hannah"

"Okay" We both entered the room, and she was awake. 

"Mommy"

"How are you sweetheart?"

"I feel okay. Is this daddy?"

"No, no no, sweetheart he is a friend of mine, I've known him for a long long time"

"Was that an Arctic Monkeys reference?" he said, and I've seen something in Hannah's eyes

"Are you Winnie the Pooh?" she asked.

"Well it was nice seeing you Hannah" Dan said, while I was trying to hold back my laughter.

"Wait, I'll go with you for a while, Hannah I'll be back soon, in 5 minutes" I said, and kissed her forehead.

We both stepped out the room and started walking towards the exit when we stopped.

"I seriously sound like fucking Winnie the Pooh."

"Yes you do" I started laughing and hugged him, and laughed into his chest (he is taller than me).

"Where is her dad?"

"I don't know" I lied.

"Seriously?"

"Yes. I mean it probably was some dude from uni, but after what happened, I don't even know. And this sounded like I'm a whore, great." the taxi arrived, so we said goodbye and he left.

I had no idea what time it was when Louise came in with Jack. I lost my sense of time, also I fell asleep.

"Boop" someone poked me in the arm.

"Yes what when why? Oh hi guys hey" I got up, Jack was already next to Hannah, and Louise was next to me.
