Chapter Three;
I remember that day, the day Brooke Davis took me into her home. That was eight months ago, a lot has happened since then. I got two jobs at the pharmacy and at a near by starbucks. Brooke got a couple of jobs as well, I haven't seen carter since the day he left me. I miss him a lot I wonder what he's been up too should I give him a call? But i'm also mad at him for walking out on me and I cannot let him back into my life again. I saw Brooke walk into the house with some KFC she looked at me and said "Dinners here." I smiled at her and got up from the couch and joined her at the table. We ate in silence which meant Brooke must of had a bad day. She always has something to say so I politely asked her "You alright Brooke?" she nodded in silence, I sighed and and took a bite from my chicken and started to make conversation "I'm so happy this baby is going to be out of me in three weeks." she smiled and nodded in agreement. "I know" she said. "What are you going to name him." I must of failed to tell you I'm having a baby boy. I looked down at my plate and looked up at her " I don't know." I said to her "Any ideas? Tons" she replied then she started "Brad, Jason, Jake, Branson, Danny…" I didn't like any of those names I looked at her but she went on "Harrison, Tyler, Ryan, Liam, Jamie…" I thought for a minute Jaime? I really liked that name. "Did you like any of those names?" she asked curiously "I could think of many more." she said happily "I really liked Jaime" I told her with a smile on my face. "Then, Jamie it is." she said as the phone rang I told her I would get it and picked it up "Hello?" I said and the person asked "Adrian?" "Yes?" I told this mysterious person and they replied "It's- It's Carter.." I stood their in shock "Whats the matter?" Brooke asked "It's Carter" I said holding the mute button on the phone then I herd a hello coming from the receiving end of the phone I took the phone off mute and said "How did you get this number?" he said "Listen, I'm sorry I walked out on you baby but I want to be a part of our baby's life." he sounded like he meant it "You, haven't been around it's like you dropped off the face of the earth and now you want to come back into my life? Our sons life? he replied "It's a boy?' he sounded so happy, but i wasn't giving in yet. "Yes, our sons life you would know if you didn't walk out on me." "Listen, i'm sorry about all of that" he continued "I was just confused, I didn't think I could be a father." "You couldn't be a father?" I said "You, were scared?" I continued "I didn't think I could be a mother either, I was scared. I needed you and you walked out on me." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek Brooke was watching me with concern on her face "Don't cry" he said, i guess he could hear it in my voice. "Let me prove to you that I love you." he pleaded "You, can help me and Brooke pay for the baby and you can see him sometimes, but thats all your ever going to be to me goodbye." I said hanging up on him. Brooke offered me a warm hug right away, my tears feel on too her shirt. "everything going to be okay." she said "You don't have to let him back into your life." she said "Just Jamie's, plus we could use the money for child support and things for the baby." I knew she was right. He could help us with all that stuff. Two weeks later I was off work prepping for my little Jaime to enter the world when i herd the doorbell right i answered the door it was Carter he was looking at me and i saw his eyes look down towards my stomach I crossed my arms anxiously and he looked away "Hi" i said "I'm really sorry about what happened between us." he said i knew he meant it. "I love you Carter." I continued on "but were not getting back together, not now anyways. I want you to be apart of Jamie's life." I said "His names Jaime?" I nodded and a smile appeared on his face. "Jamie I like that." he said we hugged "where are you staying?" I asked curiously "I'm currently living with my brother and his roommate." He said "Struggling to find a job." I froze Oh don't tell me he's broke? "So, your not helping me and Brooke pay from Jamie?" I asked "Of course I am" he said "I'm just trying to find a good enough job to do that right now. Don't worry Im going to get a job." he said hopefully I believed him suddenly i felt a pain in my stomach "Ow" I said nervously he looked concerned "Are you alright? how far are you?" "8 months" I replied "I think this baby is coming right now." I said in pain I grabbed my stomach falling to the ground but Carter grabbed my hand and lifted me up bring me to the car. "Common, we have to get you to a hospital, and fast!" he said anxiously "Ow!" i screamed in pain "You have to call Brooke." I said "I need her to be here." he looked at me starting the car. "When we get to the hospital" he said I screamed in pain again he had one hand on the wheel and he took my hand with his other hand It felt good holding his hand again, I missed him. 10 minutes I got to the hospital by the time I was in the room Brooke and the nurse walked in your seven centimeters apart I looked at Carter who was holding my hand and I smiled at him he kissed me on the forehead and I responded with an okay to the nurse. "How much longer will she be?" Brooke asked the nurse. "It'll probably be a couple more hours." the nurse answered to Brooke's question everything will be fine she walked out of the room and i screamed in pain again which caused Brooke to grab my hand. "Hang in there." she said "This will be over before you know it." Two hours later the doctor and the nurse walked in and said I was ready to push. "Push!" the doctor said along with Brooke saying "Common, you can do it! You've made it this far!" and Carter grabbed my hang "I think I see his head!" he said joyfully I screamed in pain as the doctor told me to push again saying "Two more big pushes and this baby will be out of you." I pushed once more "I can't do it" I said "Please!" Brooke said "Yes, you can" Carter said "One more time, you can do it." the doctor told me as I pushed one last time giving it my all and I herd the cry of little Jamie and sighed in relieve laying back on the pillow. "Here he is, a brand new baby boy." she gave the baby to the nurse as she cleaned him up I looked at Brooke and Carter both smiling as the nurse handed the baby to me "Hi baby." i said touching his little hands and his eyes opened for the first time "Aw, he's adorable" Brooke said and Carter had tears in his eyes the nurse smiled at us asking politely "Have you decided on a name for him yet?" "Jamie" I said proudly she nodded and walked out of the room. "I love him so much." I said "Me too" Carter said in agreement. This was one of the best days of my life I thought for a moment, life was good but I was dead wrong.
