"I was drunk" he said once more
I couldn't believe my ears. He was using the stupidest excuse I ever thought I would hear coming from his mouth. I make a huge effort not to cry, I look at my hands several times before I decide it was time to give up
"Yeah...you were...so? This is it?" I say twisting my hands once more
"Faith..." he tried to touch me but I walk away
"Don't can't .do this right now, Bosco"
"What am I supposed to say? Uh?"
"Something else than I was drunk!" I yell "Bosco, we are having a baby...you and me"
"Please don't say that...please" he walks away from me, I can't help but cry, he is hurting me in a way he can't even imagine. Denying our son
"Bosco, how can you..." I look at him but he doesn't look back "I got to go..." he takes my hand
"Faith, I'm sorry I shouldn't have..."
"Yeah, we shouldn't have." I walk away closing the door behind me.
I feel sad. Not for me but for my baby, he deserves the have a father and I can't give him one that denies him. I realize there was nothing else I could do but talking with the only friend I had at the time. Rose.
The bar was not as crowded I as though, just a couple of man sitting in one corner. Rose smiles when she sees me walking towards her; we became friends since I was the only one who keeps her son on the good track, as she says.
"What's wrong drear, you don't look so good" she says
"I'm not so good...I have a problem and I thought you were the second one to know"
"I'm all ears"
"Well...believe it or not, I'm having a baby" I look up from my hands and I can see her smiling, she hugs me tight
"I'm so happy for you, honey"
"but that's not all" I swallow hard, this might be the hardest thing I've ever said so far, at least to Rose "Maurice is the father" I hear her gasp in shock, covering her mouth with both hands
"Oh my God! I'm gonna be a grandmother!" she walks towards me and hugs me, that's the greatest reaction I expected. At least someone is happy. She realize how sad I am before I get so say it "you are not happy, aren't you?"
"It's not me it's him...he is not happy" I cry
"Did he tell you?"
"He didn't have to...he was drunk, he said it himself"
"Even if he is my son" she swallow hard "you can go on without him, you MUST...the baby needs you, Faith"
"I know he does but..."
"But nothing! You don't need man in your life. You need to be happy, that's all it matters"
"Thank you Rose" I hug her once more before I walk home.
