***Reader's Note***Hey! welcome to "Daniel." my very first Drama/Suspense.It's a real big switch from the romantic comedies, all y'all know me for! but I hope all my reader's will like this one as much as I do. and oh! I just finished reading some reviews from, "Nine Months..." thank all of you again! I know I've been saying this for 'bout a million times, but I mean it! and for those who've asked for a "Foxay" fic!(if you're reading this!) don't worry I'm listening! lol and I'm thinking of something in the romatic comedy area.

Happilly Ever After.

"honey,"she turned over as she whispered to him."it's time."

"time? time for what?"he muffled out as he slowly began to wake.

"time...time, the baby's comming."

He bolted up from the bed almost falling, face flat on the gloor grabbing everything he saw from sight."don't worry about anything everything's under control, you just stay calm...alright."

"okay."she laughed softly, as she tried to lift herself from the bed.He sped to her helping her up, and guiding her to a chair nearby.

"you just sit, and---and I'll get the car, and call the hospital..."he trailed on as he looked at her."am I forgetting anything?"

"don't forget me."she teased.

"very funny,I'll be right back."

"okay."Charity smiled as he left from sight.

It was a rainy, and cold.It was a little strange for July, buteven so it was still beautiful out.Charity turned herslef towrads the window watching the rain drops fall fiercely down onto the pavement, making loud pitter-patter noises as it did so...it braught back memories,memories she'd much rather forget...

Flashback

"Charity wait!,"Miguel gasped out, as he botled into her room.He'd just heard the news, and he hoped he could change her mind before it was too late.

Silently, she glared up at him while jurking her suitcase open.Hiding how broken up and hurt she was about the matter, she didn't want him to thwart her away from the decision she made...as much as it hurt her, she wanted to leave.

"you can't leave-I don't want you to."

"well, Miguel in life you don't always get what you want? don't you."Charity sputtered, furiously shoving things into her suitcase, fighting her tears.

"how many times do I have to apologize...Charity, I never ment to hurt you this way...you know I---"

"please,"Charity interrupted quietly, as she put her hand up in defence."just, let me go...then you could have what you really want, and I won't be holding you back."

"you're what I really want."he replied, as he closed the door behind him."why won't you look at me?"

"Miguel---"

"these months have been a living hell!...you wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't see me."he reached for her hand forcing her to face him."look, if this is the last time...I'll ever get to talk to you,"he began the words hurting him more than he thought they would."atleast hear me out."

"no."Charity stood stubborn to her decision, tears froming in her eyes and falling singularly down her cheek.

"please."

Charity paused, falling slave to the power of his eyes but slowly regaining her place she took her hand away and glared at him."why should I !?, You make this all seem like a bad dream, we can both just wake up from and---and forget, well Miguel I can't forget it!"Charity rose her small voice."this is real, and...what's real is that, you've slept with my cousin and to make this even better you got her pregnant too."

"I was wrong---"

"yeah, that's what I keep hearing."Charity began softly, as she continued to stuff her bag."but what I wanna know is? how long where you planning to keep all this from me, Miguel? when you married me?"she grabbed her things."after you got what you wanted from me?"new tears froming in her eyes, as she tried to fight them off."when we'd have our first child? when?"

"Charity I was going to tell you, I wanted to tell you...but as time past I realized that it would've done you worse than good."

Charity nodded, as she faced him."well, you did just that...you've devastated me."

He reached out for her, as she flinched away wipping the tears from her eyes.She couldn't believe she was actually doing this, leaving the only place she called home...but at this point, there really wasn't any point to stay.Miguel made his choice, whether he'd like to admit it or not...and unfortunately it wasn't her.

"honey...honey?" Jackson repeated, as he walked towards Charity.

"humm?" Charity replied, being shook out of her thoughts.

"what were you thinking about?"Jackson questioned, trying to figure what was bothering her"not about---"

"no,"she lied, as she placed her hand on his face."I...was just thinking, about the wheather; strange for Jully don't you think?"

"yeah...I guess."Jackson replied looking at his wife awkwardly."baby, are you sure your alright...you were never one to bother about the wheather." he teased, as he helped her out of the chair as they started out of the room and down the hall.

"I guess I should start, then."she replied, some what blankly still a little lost in her thoughts.

Flashback.

"Charity we have to talk,"Kay began as she pulled Charity aside."I know the both of us, haven't been on good speaking terms lately..."

"it's alright, Kay.Were cousins first, and whatever happened...in the past is in the past, I forgive you."

oh, give me a break. Kay thought to herself, as she continued."there's something about me and Miguel that you have to know,"she finished hidding her evident happiness on the subject, she'd finally won in a matter of months she'd be having Miguel's baby, and he'd be comitted to her for life...Charity will be less than a passing thought in his memory,she'd finally have his love in return.



"you got her pregnant didn't you ?"

Miguel turned too ashamed to acctually admit that after all they'd been through, after all he'd promised... he'd betrayed her.

"don't hurt me anymore than you have,"Charity began once more knowing his silence was the answer she didn't want to hear." just tell me the truth...please, is that baby my cousin is carrying yours?"she questioned turning him around to face her.

He sighed deeply before he started"that baby," he cleared his throat"the baby's mine."

"oh my God."Charity gasped, as she took a seat on a nearby bench."it's all true."she laughed softly fighting the sudden birst of emotions she was feeling.

"look, it---it wasn't supposed to end up this, way...what happened between me and Kay was a big mistake, I love you more than life itself---"

"you know what, save it..."Charity bolted up, as Miguel tried to reason with her."I guess I've made a mistakes too..."

"no, you never---"

Charity backed away, from what she thought was her future for so long.She never thought this kind of thing woul happen to her, Miguel loved her...he told her he loved her! suddenly, at that very moment Charity realized three words like 'I love you.' couldn't ensure something like this.

"where are you going, Charity?"Miguel called out into the cold night.

"I hope, you and Kay are very happy toghether."Charity began heart hardening, as she turnded around to leave.



"there you go again, sweetie."

"I'm sorry,"she smiled, as she got out her best laugh."it's all you now, Jackson...I promise."she finished as they reached the foot of the stairs."oh!" she exclaimed softly feeling her first labour pain.

"oh I know, we better get going..."Jackson began as he carefully lead her out the door.

"yeah."Charity got out another smile."now!" she raised her voice, feeling another labor pain.

"Mrs and Mr Monroe, it's a boy."Dr.Jones smiled, as she handed the wailing baby to Charity.

"a boy."Charity smiled, as her arms reached out for her baby boy."Jackson look at him, isn't he perfect?"



Jackson smiled, as he reached out for his baby's small hand.His eyes, looking as if they were about to overflow with tears."this, is our little boy!" he exclaimed softly, while smiling onto Charity.

"yeah,"Charity replied, as she looked down at her first born."our little boy."

Finally, things were turning out right.She had a beautiful little boy, and a wonderful husband to be, and things were how they were supposed to be.The way she prayed to God they'd always be.
