"Excuse me for a minute..." I say as I try to close my mouth.
I walk outside and slam my back against the hallway wall.
I have got to call Chan...
I pull out my phone.
I rings from what feels like forever, but he picks up on the last ring.
"Hey, Jordyn. Wazz up?!"
"Hey... come down to the hospital, now."
"Why?! What's wrong?!"
"Just get down as soon as soon as you can! Can you do that?!"
"Yeah, yeah... On my way..."
Before he hangs up, I hear his footsteps running to the car and the car door slam.
I put my phone in my back pocket and walk back into the hospital room.
"So," questions Nicole, "is Chan coming?"
"Yea... on his way.."
"Okay, we just found out who's baby it is..."
"Who?!"
"I think I should tell the guys first..."
Yeah, quit being a jerk Jordyn...
"Yeah," I reply with regret, "that would be best. Sorry, I'm just so nervous and excited at the same time. Does that make sense?"
"Yeah, I know how you feel, and I'm sorry, too. I shouldn't have done that. I was a jerk for being like that, and I'm trying to change my ways. Forgive me?"
Forgive me? When she says that, her eyes turn into Logan's sorry eyes, the ones that made me want to end it all when Carl first arrested me.
It takes me a minute to gather all of my mixed emotions, but I finally say, "Forgiven."
To get my mind off of Logan, I start talking about the baby, "So, what are the baby names gonna be?"
"Umm, we haven't really thought,. much about that since we just found out, but I'm thinking Carmin for a girl and Greg for a boy."
Greg... The mention of his name makes me shiver.
"So, you're going to name him after my brother?"
"Yeah, I know about all of the drama that happened, but I thought this might cheer you up in some way..."
I look down at the floor.
"I-I didn't mean it in that way. I just-"
"It's perfect," I place my hand on her stomach.
She smiles, and the nurse returns.
"Okay, so you are pregnant for sure," declares blonde.
Nah duh...
She continues, "So, are there any questions considering your pregnancy?"
'Yeah," Daryl says, "how long will it be until we can know if it's a boy or girl?"
"4 months."
We all nod in satisfaction in knowledge. (Erudite much?...")
"Umm," I start, "will she be feeling any serious pain until she take the ultra-sound?"
"Yes, of course, but the only thing she can do is take pain-reliever."
We all nod.
"I'm hungry, and I'm feeding two," she says pointing to her stomach, "Can we go?"
"Yeah, let's go," I start to walk out the door after Daryl and Nicole, but I turn around and say to the nurse, "Thank you."
"Anytime."
And I shut the door.
We walk outside and see Carl's truck pulling in. Chan and Carl stand beside each other.
They say in synchronization with the same body language, "Okay, what the heck is going on?!"
"Nicole..." says Daryl.
She takes a deep breathe and says slowly, "Daryl, you're a daddy...'"
