Ok this is just a short chapter. I know. It's really short. But I just wanted to get this out.
CHAPTER 4
His cell phone rang. Bobby fumbled for it, hoping it was Delaney. "Mr. Belden?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know a Delaney Delaware?"
"Yes?"
"I need you to come down to Sacred Heart Hospital. There's been an accident."
"Bobby, what-What happened?" Trixie demanded as she saw her little brother huddled in a chair. She had recieved a call from him asking her to come down to the hospital quickly.
"I, I don't know. Everything was fine, and then I got home and she was gone. I just don't know what to do." Bobby looked so lost. Trixie rushed him into her arms.
"It'll be okay," She soothed.
Bobby was about to answer when a nurse came toward him. "Robert Belden?"
"Yes?"
"You're here about Delaney Delaware and Spencer Belden?"
"Yes?"
"I just want to assure you that your son is fine."
"And Delaney?" Trixie ased, trying to help out a processing Bobby.
"Miss Delaware's injuries are a little more substantial than your son's. The crash was head on. I'm afraid I don't know much more than that." The nurse turned to walk away.
"Can we see Spencer?" Bobby asked.
"Yes you can, in just a few minutes. I'll come get you," The nurse smiled.
Trixie read through the note the Delaney left for Bobby. "What does she mean when she says 'I thought I could do this'?"
Bobby cleared his throat and looked down. "Trixie, we-she-it wasn't me."
"What?"
"Spencer. It wasn't me. It never was me. It-uh, it never could have been me."
Trixie was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I mean we never had sex!" Bobby snapped.
"Oh. Then why-"
"We had broken up. And she went to a party. And he was in college. One thing led to another…she didn't tell him. I looked him up. He isn't a nice guy. He's a coke head. And well. Trixie I love her." Bobby looked at his older sister, at a loss. "And when she told me, all I wanted to do was make him mine. I didn't want her to go through this alone. And I sure as hell didn't want that creep anywhere near her. Or Spencer."
"Oh, Bobby." Trixie hugged him. "Why didn't you say anything to us? You just let Brian pummel you bascially."
"Because. I didn't want any of you to try talking me out of it. Trix, seriously, this guy is dangerous. I could see him trying to get money out of Delaney. I love Spencer, and even if he isn't mine biologically, he's mine."
Trixie was about to add something when the nurse came back, "You can see your son now."
Bobby smiled at her and then whispered to Trixie, "Please, not a word of this to anyone. Not even Honey…or Dan."
Trixie nodded reluctantly. And the two got up to follow the nurse.
She led them down a hall and into the baby's room. Bobby's smile faded as he looked at the scratched faced of his son. "Is he okay?"
"He'll be fine. The doctor wants to keep him here tonight, but the he can go home tomorrow. He just needs some love."
Spencer stirred and started crying, waving his arms around.
"Can I hold him?" Bobby questioned.
"Of course." The nurse nodded.
Bobby got closer and bent down, "Hey there buddy, its okay. You're fine. Yeah, don't worry. Daddy's got you."
