'Will you pick me up?' Said the text I got from Jarrod. I wasted no time to get him. We sat in the car in the police parking lot in silence. "So what's happening?" I finally ask after 10 minutes. "My teacher license is Revoke. " He sighed. "I'm sorry. " I lightly said. "I'm sorry too. I don't know why I even started this madness. " He sighed. i stayed quiet. "So can we agree to co-parent Elena?" He lightly asked. That shattered my heart. "We can try. " I lightly said. My heart felt like crumbs and it ached. "I'm probably gonna move out of state and we can get that divorce." he spoke quietly. "Okay if that's what you want. " I shrugged turning the car on. "That's is what we have to do laela. I love you and this roller coaster is not good for either of us." He lightly said. "You asked me if I could forget and forgive! I can!" I lightly say. "So we can keep breaking up and making up?" He asked. i took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant Jarrod. " I lightly say. "Pull over. " He urgently says. "What? Now?" I asked shaking. "Yes. " He quickly said. I pulled into a parking lot. " Are you serious?" He asked. I nodded. He rubbed his face. "What am I going to do. " He asked himself sighing. "Elena isn't even 5 months yet!" He said serious. "I know. " I lightly said. "Oh god!" He sighed. "Get out. I'm gonna drive us. " He opened his door. I opened mine and he hugged me. "We're gonna figure something out. " He sighed. I got into the passenger side. "I ruined our lives. " I sniffed back tears. "No you didn't. Our lives aren't ruined laela. " he sighed putting his hand on my knee.
We got to his house and it was awkward. "What are you doing?" I asked. He sighed turning the car off. "How far along are you?" He asked lightly and calm. "I'm not sure. But I'm guessing maybe almost a month from the last time..." I answered. "Let's leave. Let's move across the country and just start over with Elena and our new edition. " He suggested. I lightly smiled. "I would love to but how?" I asked. "We'll use drive and find out." He nodded. I leaned over and hugged him. "Bring Elena over. " He said more up beat. "I will. "
"What did you and Jarrod talk about?" My dad asked as I walked in. "Us. Elena. Me..." I simply said going to the steps. "What about?" He asked. i walked back to the living room. "I'm pregnant again daddy. " I shrugged. "Laela. Fuck!" He angrily said. "Jarrod wants to move us. " I added. "Well don't come back after he abandons you laela. Damn! I thought i raised a strong daughter. " He yelled. "Dad, I'm strong enough to forgive him and realize what is needed for my family." I rolled my eyes. "You wouldn't know. You let mom go. " I added going up the steps. "Get out tonight!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Ready?" He asked me when I showed up at his door with Elena and our bags. "Yea. I love you. " I lightly said hugging him. "I love you too. Let me get those. " He said taking the suitcases. "Hey baby girl." he said kissing Elena's cheek. I smiled and he kissed my lip lightly. "Don't worry. " He told me taking Elena to put her in the car seat. I got in the passenger side feeling uneasy. I'm abandoning one life for another. Just like my mother did.
