Chapter 3
Fault
[Cat's POV]
"Alright baby I nee-"
"-It hurtssss." Italy wined as she threw her head back.
"I know it does babe, trust me, but we need to get you out to the car and to the hospital as soon as possible. So first I need you to just breathe and relax, everything will be fine." My mother said as she held onto her hand while I stood aside and watched.
"Do you think you can walk?"
I watched as Italy closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before she gave a huge sigh. "I think it's over." She said as she sat up more.
"That was 3 minutes." Isis said as she looked at the clock on her phone.
"I think I'm okay to walk." I walked by her side and helped her swing her legs over the bed and brought her to her feet, my mom on her other side.
"Just small steps at a time."
We were walking at turtle speed and by the time we made it to the door another contraction took over her causing her to stop moving.
"Grmmmmmmmmmmm." She moaned in pain as she gripped onto me tight. "I have to sit." She cried.
"Come on Italy, we're almost to the car."
We stepped outside and she cried out as she let herself go so she could sit on the ground but we held onto her tight holding her up. "Italy."
"I cann'ttttttt."
"Isis." My mother called out and Isis ran to her side. "Sorry Caterina, but I need Isis to do this, move over. Isis grab your sister we're going to carry her to the car."
"Why can't dad just do i?." I asked as I moved over.
"You know his back it out." She said as she counted and lifted Italy.
We finally made it to the car where Italy was almost screaming as she was put in the back seat of Isis's car.
"George, take our car and take Ikenzie with you." My mom hollered out as she threw her keys to my dad.
I hopped in the front while Isis hopped in the driver's seat.
"Now Isis, I need you to drive really, really fast but be safe. Forget the police, forget the rules. It's 2am, not many ppl will be on the street anyways." Isis just nodded as she started the car and floored it out of the driveway.
"Pppleaseeee make it stoppppp, make it stop!" Italy cried as I reached back and held onto her hand tight.
"I'm going to take these off okay." My mom said as she started to remove Italy's pajama pants.
"I don't want to have my baby in the carrrr!"
"I know baby…." I said as tears filled my eyes. I just hate to see my daughter go through this. The pain…it's horrible to watch.
"She's right there." My mom said with her hand on Italy's privates.
I turned on the light and leaned in to see the black hair of the baby's head about to come out.
"Italy don't push yet." My mother said before turning to Isis. "How far Isis?"
"We're almost there!"
Italy laid in the back panting and screaming that she needed to push, that it felt like the baby was coming out either way.
I watched as the small little head started to move forward and my mother right between her legs grabbing a hold to it.
"We're here!"
"Go get a doctor FAST!" My mother yelled as Isis jumped from the car and into the emergency room.
"AHHHHHHH GOOOODODDDDDDD GET HER OUT OF MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Italy screamed and cried.
"Okay baby we're here. Just give me on big push Italy and she's out. Come on baby, one big one."
"Grrrmmmmmmmmmm AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH UGHHHH."
I started to sob as a very small baby fell right out and into the palms of my mother's hands giving me the most heartwarming feeling I've ever felt besides giving birth to my own children, but this was a little different.
Blood was everywhere as Italy sat back with her eyes closed still panting and the small baby not making a sound.
"W….why….why isn…'t she…she cryinggg?" Italy said between breath and tears.
Medical staff finally rushed over to the car as one snapped the umbilical cord and rushed the baby away while the other two pulled Italy from the vehicle and onto a stretcher, rushing her inside as well.
My mother started to cry as she watched them rush her granddaughter and great granddaughter away. Everything from her arms to her thighs where covered in blood but I still embraced her in a tight hug anyways letting out crys from just everything that's happened today.
"Everybody shut up and just go find her." I heard Isis say in a low firm voice as she flopped in the drivers seat and slammed her door so she could go park.
It wasn't until about 35 minutes later that a doctor walked into our waiting room that now had Kodak in addition sitting with his hands to his face.
"How's the baby?" "Is the baby okay?" "Is the baby alight?" We all asked at the same time as the doctor looked at us with a small smile.
"She's very small, and it's a shocker but she's doing just fine. She's very healthy for how small she is. Strong baby you guys are dealing with here."
"Thank god!" We all sighed in relief.
"Can we see her?"
"Of course you can. She's in an incubator right now in the nursery. She very small, only 3 pounds 2 ounces so we have her on a monitor. Don't let any of the equipment she's hooked to scare you, it's just to keep an eye out." She smiled. "The nursery is right down the hall to your left, and Italy is in room 109." She smiled.
"Thank you so much."
The doctor nodded before she left the room and we all hugged each other tight.
"Do you see her?" I asked as we looked in the window at all the pre-mature babies, but the name Kemistry wasn't anywhere to be found.
I turned over to Isis to see her staring through the glass with a heartwarming smile on her face as she looked at one of the small babies.
"Is that her?" I asked as I walked over to her and looked at the name of the baby on the incubator.
It's A Girl!
Jadelyn Kemistry Harris
December 1st
3 LBS, 2 Ounces
Italy Ray West-Valentine
My eyes filled with tears as my hand went too my mouth. This is the most beautiful thing I've seen all day.
I turned around and embraced Isis into a tight hug in which I felt her shiver against me as she cried.
"I'm sorry Isis." I said as tears fell from my own eyes.
"…Why….ughhhhh whyyyy?" She cried harder as Ikenzie, my mom, and my dad tried to comfort her and calm her down a bit as well.
It's all my fault…..
"I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry."
[Italy's POV]
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
I looked up to see Kodak standing in the doorway before he smiled and walked all the way in and sat down beside my bed.
"…how you feelin'?"
I shrugged. "I'm okay. A little sore, but I'm good."
"I'm sorry I missed the birth."
I laughed. He can't be serious. "I was barely there for the birth. It's fine, there was no way for you to be there. You're here now. That's all that matters."
He just smiled.
"Where is everyone else?"
"Oh they are out looking at your baby."
"Our baby you mean?" I lifted brow and smiled.
"Oh yeah….dang….I'm a dad."
"You are, and you will be the best. I know it." I giggled. "Have you seen her?"
He shook his head. "No, your family is taking over." He laughed. "Can…can I have a DNA test…you know…just to see if she's really mine? If she's not it wouldn't make a difference. I'm not going anywhere baby."
I smiled. "Of course you can. And I know. I love you Kodak. Thank you." He leaned over and kissed me softly before he pulled back and grabbed onto my hand. "Don't thank me. I love you too."
"I changed her name."
He lifted a brow. "You did? To what?"
"Jadelyn Kemistry Harris, but we can still call her Kemistry."
"That's a beautiful name and I'm so sorry Italy."
I smiled as I put my head down as visions of Jade filled my mind and I couldn't help but bring my hands to my face cry.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm here." He said as I felt his arms go around me softly. I removed my hands from my face as I wrapped my arms back around him and cried into his shoulder.
"Everything will be okay soon."
But that's not true. I do have a new soul in my life, she's my love my everything to me, but she doesn't take the place of the soul I lost. And unless she returns, nothing will be the same, and nothing will be okay. I just wish she was here and then everything would be perfect, but she's not and still life goes on without her and it hurts.
It hurts so bad.
[Beck's POV]
2 Days Later
"You can't keep brushing this aside Tori! Tell me what you did!"
"It's none of your business! Will you stop bringing it up! You said you would leave it alone!" Tori yelled as she made the bed in our room.
"Yeah, I said I'd leave it alone, now I've changed my mind. It's all my business. What the hell did you do to her!?"
"Beck, just drop it!"
"I'm not dropping it!" I yelled as I grabbed her wrists and turned her to me. "What did you do!?"
"Ughhh! I didn't do anything you haven't done before!" She screamed as she yanked her wrist from me.
"What are you talking about?"
"Ohhhhhhh don't evennnnn Beck! You know what you did! And I did it too!"
I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair as my insides started to boil. "Tori, that was a stupid fucking mistake years, over years ago! And it wasn't even my fault and you know that!"
"Yeah I bet it wasn't."
I grabbed her and turned her to me. "You know that was not my fault Tori! I would never cheat on you!"
"Well you did."
"She spiked my fucking drink! I had no control! I didn't know what I was doing!"
"You shouldn't have went over there in the first place! And because you were so careless with your drinks and you wanted to party hardy with Robbie and his stupid wife, I now have a little girl in my house that I'm raising that doesn't even belong to me!"
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"
"Well it's not my fault I had sex with Cat." She said simply as she turned around and finished making the bed.
"….Excuse me, what?…you did what?"
"You heard me." She said as she walked around me. "How does it feel?" She turned to me and crossed her arms.
"Tori you did what!?"
She didn't say anything as she kept looking at me with a mad face.
"Ughhh you are so stupid! Why would you do something like that Tori!? No wnder Cat was saying it was all your fault!"
"I did it for Cat!"
"Are you out of your mind!?" I turned around so I could think for a minutes without looking at her face.
"It's not my fault! I did it for her! She-"
"-Shut the hell up Tori! It probably is your fault! You know Cat had to tell Jade about that and Jade's fucking sensitive!"
"Jade West was not sensitive!"
"YES SHE WAS!" I turned around and yelled as she stepped back. "Before you go and try to get back at somebody, you don't even know what the hell you were doing!"
"I wasn't trying to get back at anybody!"
"Yeah right, I believe that. You wanted to get back at Jade for hurting Cat and you wanted to get back at me. You knew good and damn well Cat was going to tell Jade what you did! You knew that! I know you Tori, you try to get back at people while acting all sweet and innocent as if what you do is for something else or you act as if you don't know what you're doing when you do! You didn't do that for Cat and even if you did it was for about 20%. The rest was revenge and you know it! Now everything is fucked up because of what you did!" I pointed to her as I got as close to her as I could.
"Ahhh!" She screamed as she pushed me out of the way.
"Forget everything! Pack your bags Beck, get your daughter and get out of here!"
What? "Tori whens the last time you paid a major bill in this house? Who's name is this house under? You want to get away from me? Get your bags, and you go."
"Fine….fine, and I'm taking Monica with me."
"Wrong answer." I said as I walked closer to her again. "If you take my daughter away from this house I will have you arrested for kidnapping."
"You can't do that!"
"Try me Tori."
I watched as tears filled her eyes as she pushed passed me and into the closet where she grabbed a huge suitcase that actually belonged to me before snuffing it with unfolded clothes.
She dragged the heavy suitcase to the door as tears started to fall from her eyes and my heart softened.
"Tori." I sighed as I held up a hand. "Wait."
"No! Don't try that soft talk now!"
"Tori, seriously…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm just….upset I guess."
She wiped her eyes as she turned to me. "About what?"
"What do you mean about what!? My friend just died! My best friend is heartbroken, I just found out my wife slept with her behind my back, I just gave up the biggest break in New York for me in my entire life….I don't Tori what is there to be upset about!?" I asked sarcastically as I sat down on the edge of our bed. "It's just so much all at once."
Tori sighed as she put the bag down and leaned against the wall.
"I just can't believe she's gone." I shook my head as my heart started to ache.
"It was just her time." Tori said as if she didn't give a shit that she was dead.
"It wasn't her time Tori! She took her own life because of people like you."
She turned to me with a made face. "Excuse me!?"
"You should have never came onto me in high school."
"You came onto me!"
"No you came onto me! Ughhh stop! I can't…I can't blame you, it was both of us. But I can blame you for fucking sleeping with her wife! You probably caused her last heart ache!"
"So now you're blaming me for killing herself Beck!?"
I sighed again… what am I saying? "No…just…no." I shook my head as I stood up. "I need air. I'll be back." I said as I walked out of our room and out of the house.
I let down all of my windows as I drove a few of blocks to her house.
It looked abandoned. It looked as if no one has been to that house in ages and I have no idea if the West-Valentine family will return back or just sale their home.
I pulled into the driveway before stepping from my vehicle and walking up to the house. Even though the outside of the house was big and welcoming, it had a ghost feeling to it that made me shiver.
I looked over and on ground was Cat's phone. I picked it up and tried to look through it but it was dead. Putting it in my pocket I made a mental note to return it to her later.
I walked around to the back yard of the house where everything was steal and silent.
"I'm sorry Jade. I really am. I hope somehow you forgive me." I just shook my head and hit the fence before returning to my car and speeding off to a coffee shop.
I think this is all my fault….
