Chapter 7
"I' will." Mac said, giving Stella another hug, then turned and left her office. After he left, Stella sighed and sat back down at her desk. She wondered if Adam really was okay with Mac saying the baby was his, or not. Just then, the door opened and Adam entered her office. "Uh, Stell. Can we talk?"
"Sure Adam." Stella replied, smiling.
Adam took a deep breath, then walked over to her desk. "It's about our baby."
"Mac said that you don't want it now?"
"Um, yeah. That's right. I just don't think I'm ready for that much responsibility. I'm still young and there's a lot of stuff I'd like to see and do before I decide to make a commitment to someone. I think you're a wonderful beautiful person, and I care about you, a lot. But I don't love you. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Adam. I understand. I care about you, too and I hope your okay with Mac helping me raise the baby. "
"Yeah, that's fine." Adam replied, then gave her a hug kissed her cheek and left..
Hummm, he says he fine with it but he doesn't seem to be. Stella thought to herself as she watched him leave.
After Adam left Stella's office, he headed down the hall to Mac's. If Mac wanted to raise the baby fine, but he was the father. Finally, he reached Mac's office. He walked in and made his way over to Mac's desk. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about our conversation earlier. If you and Stella want to raise the baby, that's fine. I'm going to help too, cause I'm the baby's father."
"I'm sure Stella will appreciate any help you can give her, Adam." Mac replied, looking up at him. Adam stood there for a few minutes, then turned and left.
Maybe he's not happy about me raising the baby. Mac thought to himself, but was else could they do? They definitely couldn't say it was Adam's. This was the only option they had and Adam would get used to the idea, eventually.
