Chapter ten: never know I could feel like this

Jude: Tommy, I don't wanna go anywhere.I have never seen the doctor before and he'll be touching me everywhere. i don't like stranges put his hands over me, ya know?

Tommy: well, you didn't say anything the night you got pregnant.

I laughed and then got into the car. I didn't want to fight anymore. I just want to have my baby and…what will happen next?. We didn't talk about that…well, he must have a plan.

Tommy: Jude, by the way…you have to tell you're eighteen.

I looked at him.

Jude: why?

Tommy: do you want the baby to grow with a father in jail?

I understood immediately and nodded. I was a minor and Tommy got me pregnant. That was a serious crime.

Jude: Tommy, about what happened last night…we can't do that again. You are my baby's father but you have a girlfriend and I have dreams and a life. So I'll have the baby and then I'll come back to my normal life and you can see the baby whenever you want, ok?

Tommy stayed in silence til we were on the clinic's elevator.

Tommy: I won't let my baby alone Jude. Never.

I looked at him and smiled.

Jude: I know.

We got into the room. It was a cold one. Suddenly a cute man looked at us. Wow, he'll be my doctor. He was blonde and had green eyes and a perfect smile. now I wanna be sick for the rest of my life.

Doctor: Hi Mr. and Mrs. Quincy.

Jude: Mrs. Quincy? Why does he think that?

I asked Tommy. He looked at me smiled forcefully.

Tommy: because we're married, remember, my dear.

Jude: ooh, yes. We're married. Totally married.

The doctor looked at us puzzled. Then he stood up.

Doctor: ok. Mrs. Quincy, could you take off your shirt and pants?

Jude: what??

Doctor: I want to examine you.

Jude: oh, ok.

I took off my clothes and lay on the bed, like he told me to do it.

He went to her desk as he spoke.

Doctor: so, tell me, this is the first month, isn't it?

Jude: yes, I think so. Another doctor told me that I had 1 month pregnant.

Doctor: ok and how are you feeling?

Jude: good, really good. I mean, the morning sick feelings are normal?

Tommy: what?, why you didn't tell me?. Doctor please; tell me what's going on.

The doctor laughed.

Doctor: this must be your first kid. The sick feelings are completely normal. Now we'll see how it's this baby inside.

The doctor got closer to me with a bottle in the hand. He put his hand over my belly and started to put a jelly on it.

Jude: wow wow wow…what are you doing? What's that?

I tried to move but Tommy shook his head.

Doctor: with this we'll see your baby Mrs. Quicny .

I calmed down and looked as the doctor put some strange metallic thing over my belly.

Jude: it's cold!

The doctor laughed again. Tommy was standing on the wall and looked everything, totally calmed.

Suddenly I saw something on the screen. It was a weird image, but I could feel that there was something special. The doctor started to move the metallic thing all over my belly.

Jude: what's that in the screen?

I asked pointing at the screen.

Doctor: that…that is your baby.

I felt about to cry immediately. Tommy got closer to the screen.

Tommy: that is my baby?

Doctor: yes Mr. Quincy. We can see the main parts of the body and that is well positioned and that…

Tommy: so you're saying that that tiny stain is my son?

The doctor nodded.

Doctor: yes, and by now everything is ok.

Tommy sat in the bed without breaking the eye contact with the screen.

Tommy: did you hear Jude?, this is our baby.

He said in a whisper. I nodded and keep looking at my baby. Omg, how can I love so much something so tiny? This is the best thing in my life. Suddenly I felt Tommy's hand grabbing mine. We smiled.

Tommy's POV.

Omg, I'm going to be a father. That thing inside of her is mine. Is not like something I bought or won. This is mine, completely mine and hers. I should ask the doctor if it was a girl or a boy. I have to tell it to Sadie so she can decorate the room. And I have to get more free time, I mean, the kid will need me. I have to take him to daycare, to school, to the parties and birthdays…and then to college. it will be a musician if it wants, I will support him or her in everything. Am I going too fast?.

Jude: tommy?!...TOMMY!!!

I came back to reality and see Jude looking at the door of my house. Charlotte was stood there, looking at me with anger.

Charlotte: Tommy, do you know who I am?

Rhetorical question?. I just nodded.

Charlotte: then, why do you keep your cousin here? And why you didn't tell me she was pregnant?

Jude: I don't think I should be here.

Charlotte: of course you stay girl. How old are you? Sixteen?

Jude: seventeen.

Charlotte: ok girl, there are some plastic things called condoms. You should use them instead of coming here.

Tommy: please Charlotte, we can…

Charlotte: no Tommy, we can't. As your girlfriend I said this girl should come back to her house.

Tommy: we discussed that yesterday Charlotte.

Charlotte: yes, and that's why I thought about something. If you don't want her to leave, ok, I accept it. But I won't let you alone with this girl.

I looked at her puzzled.

Charlotte: I'm moving here Tommy. We're going to get married soon and I don't think that i't s a bad thing if we live together first.

Tommy: what??!! Charlotte, but your parents…they'll kill you.

Charlotte: I don't care Tommy. I have to keep as mine what is mine.

She said that looking at Jude. Then she got into the house without saying a word.

We went before her. Kwest was in the living room. All we looked as Charlotte went upstairs.

Tommy: this can't be good. Is she crazy?, what is she thinking about?

Kwest: maybe she thinks that the baby is yours and she could lose the oportunity of being the Quincys heir's mother.

I looked at him totally scared. Jude did the same. Kwest laughed as he sat on the couch.

Kwest: just kidding. I think she's just a little bit mad because you are looking after for another girl and you look happy and it's not because of her.

Jude: Tommy just cares about the kid. She doesn't have to be jealous.

Kwest: tell it to her.

Tommy: I'll go to talk to her. She has to get out of here like right now.

Kwest: go for her man. She's in your room.

Tommy: what?!

Kwest laughed again.

Kwest: this time I'm serious.

I went upstairs quickly. If I want to keep Jude and the baby with me I should fix some things first.

Jude's POV.

Jude: tell me Kwest, what I should do now?

Kwest: about what?

Jude: about this!. Tommy's girlfriend is in the house now. I can't lie to her anymore.

Kwest: she'll never notice it, she's stupid and when I say it I mean it.

I laughed as Sadie came from the kitchen.

Sadie: did you know the news?

I nodded.

Sadie: and what will you do now?

Jude: I don't know…maybe I should leave.

Sadie sat on the couch shaking her head.

Sadie: no Jude, you can't do that. Do you know all the power you have in your hands?

Jude: power?, who talked about power?

Sadie: Jude, you have Tommy's baby inside of you. for now, you're the most important person in the world for tommy. He will do whatever you say.

Kwest: Sadie, that's evil.

Jude: yeah, Kwest is right. I can't use my baby to make that Charlotte get out of the house. That wouldn't be ok.

Sadie: and who said you have to make her get out of the house?

Jude: so, what do you want me to do?

Sadie: you can show her who has the power in this house.

I looked at her totally puzzled

Sadie: look, I know Tommy and well, he's a chicken. Charlotte will stay here anyways. But you can show her that it won't be easy to stay here. Not with you here too.

Kwest and I stayed in silence looking at her.

Sadie: I'll tell you how.

As we heard Tommy and Charlotte's screams from upstairs, Sadie told me how I could ruin Charlotte stance in this house. The war has just begun!

I'm finishing next chapter…hope you like this!
