Prologue
"Oh my god! I can't believe this!" said Shawn. She just looked at Piper, in
shock. Piper couldn't believe it herself. She never ever wanted anything
like this at such a young age. She never thought she would allow herself to
be in this position, but she was. Shawna is the only one Piper has told and
she's not really sure how Shawna is gonna take it.
"When did you find out?" Shawna asked, coming out of her state of shock.
Piper looked up from the floor for the first time since she told her.
"Last week, I'm still in shock but I'm gonna make sure it all works out if
it kills me." Piper said looking right in her eyes. Shawna has always been
Pipers girl since they were in jr. high, Shawna knows everything there is
to know about Piper.
Shawna smiled and said "Good that's what I want to hear. Now get over here
and give me a hug" Piper walked over and hugged her while they both
giggled. "Did you call Pat yet?"
"No....... I'm not really sure what to say. I mean we broke up 6 months
ago. What am I suppose to say 'Hey Pat, I know we broke up 6 months ago but
remember the night we saw each other again a month and a half ago? We'll
I'm pregnant !!' I don't think so. It was a one night stand. We got up and
walked out, we don't want each other like that. We talked once after when
we saw each other at a bar. I just don't think he'll care and to tell you
the truth I don't want him to have anything to do with it." Piper said.
"Well at least tell him Piper. You need to. Call him!" Shawna said handing
her the phone. Piper grabbed the phone and walked to her room. She talked
to Pat for a good 5 minutes before breaking the news. He was shock to say
the least.
"Piper, you know that I don't want to walk away from this but to tell you
the truth I'm 21 years old and I'm not ready to be a dad."
"Pat........ I know. I didn't ask to be pregnant and I called for two
reasons."
"Okay, shoot!" he said.
"Well one to tell you and see what you thought. Now I know your not ready
and I figured that already. And two, to see if you would give me full
guardianship." Pat was silent for a second until he took a big breath.
Piper wasn't trying to be mean or take something away from him. She just
wanted to make sure that she can take care of her baby with out having to
worry about other people. Piper already knew that Pat wasn't gonna be ready
to be a father, so she figured it was the best way to go.
"Okay Piper, I'll do it. You get the paper work drawn up and bring them by
my house on one of your few days off. I'll sign them." Pat sound okay but
had a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Okay I can have my lawyer do it while I gone for the week. Thank you, Pat,
this kinda makes things easier."
"Piper??" he asked.
"Yeah??"
"Can you bring the baby by after you have it? I would like to see the kid a
few times. You don't ever have to tell him or her I'm its
dad................. I just want to meet the baby." He asked in a little
kid tone.
" That's something I was planing on. Pat, I got to go but I will call you
in a few months to let you know how everything is coming along and I will
see you next week with the papers. Bye" Piper said as he said bye and then
hung up.
