Miracle | Boy Meets World
Chapter 1:
"That's weird." I stated scrunching my eyebrows together. Today was the day Shawn, Topanga, Cory, and I were getting together at my apartment in New York. It's been a long while since we all starting living here, 11 months to be exact. Cory and Topanga have been going strong while Shawn calls Angela everyday. I, on the other hand go to parties and meet new girls almost every weekend. I have a job; I work at the children's adoption center. I feel that I have to ever since I gave up on Tommy, he'll always be my little brother.
"Aren't you gonna answer that?" Topanga asked knocking me out of my thoughts.
"Uh, Yeah." I mumbled standing up and exiting the living room to answer the door. I opened the door to reveal a girl that looks really familiar holding a blanket. When I moved closer I noticed a tiny adorable baby in it sleeping. I closed the door behind me and studied the girl.
"Hey." She smiled sadly.
"Um, Hi?" I asked wondering where I've seen her.
"Do you remember me?" She asked looking slightly devastated.
"I'm sorry, but no." I said taking another confused look at the baby in her arms.
"I'm Scarlett. We've met almost a year ago at a party and hitched it up." She chuckled nervously getting teary eyed.
"Oh yeah! Scarlett, how've you been?" I asked getting internally worried. You don't see a girl you've met a year ago randomly stopping by and start to cry.
"Honestly?" She asked holding the baby on one arm and wiping a tear with the other. I nodded curiously.
"Terrible." She sighed taking a deep look in her baby, then handing it to me.
"Wha-?" I asked getting the baby that was shoved to me.
"It's yours." She said slowly trying to stop the crack in her voice, but I heard it anyway.
"No." I said lowly trying to give her back the baby, but she just took a step back crying more.
"I got pregnant after we," She explained, "I found out 2 weeks later, I remember crying after finding out. Ya know living with only a friend isn't a good environment to be pregnant in." She chuckled nervously, but stopped as soon as she saw the hard look on my face. "She's 3 months old. Her name is Jamie Nicole, after my mother's name. She's an angel really." She cried softly.
"There's no proof it's mine." I finally had the guts to say.
"You're the only guy I slept with that month. Last time I'd done it besides you was when I was 18." She said staring lovingly into her baby's wide eyes, "Mommy's right here." She whispered softly touching Jamie's tiny hand.
"W-why are you giving her to me?" I asked my voice changing a bit.
"I'm leaving. I can't raise a child living like this. I have no money, I can't feed her, she deserves better." She said with tears streaming down her face.
"I can't raise a child!" I snapped remembering Tommy, I let him go for a better family even though I loved him, just like she's doing now, letting go.
She stepped forward and gave Jamie a kiss on the forehead, "I'll always love you, baby." She cried not caring if her voice cracked or not.
She took two steps back and wiped tear after tear on her cheek.
"You can't just leave!" I yelled as she walked away, the white snow sinking with every step she took.
She turned around, her eyes bloodshot from her crying, "Goodbye." She cried and walked away not looking back, ignoring the yells I gave out.
"Don't leave!" I yelled when she finally left my sight. I looked down and saw Jamie staring at me with her beautiful bright blue eyes, which she probably got from her mother. She looked so scared, she's so small, yet she looked like she's preventing herself to cry.
"Guess it's just you and me now." I said after a long while of me studying her small face.
I turned around and opened the door. I hurriedly entered the house and shut the door behind me.
"Aw, who's that?" Topanga asked as I re-entered the living room. Cory and Shawn looked up confused at the baby I'm holding. The baby that's Scarlett gave away. The baby that was a mistake. The baby that belongs to me.
"My baby."
