Chapter 9- Futuristic

~Bethany~

~in the future~

I held my baby in my arms. She was so very beautiful. She looked at me with her big hazel eyes. She held a smile on her perfect pink lips.

"Samantha! You're smiling at me darling" I cooed at her. She laughed softly as I tickled her belly.

I pulled Samantha on my hip and walked into the cool building we would be meeting at that night. I had the room number memorized. The conference room on the third floor. I knew the directions to get there by heart. Walk into the lobby, go to the nearest elevator hit the buttons, and go to the room nearest to the end of the hall.

I walked into the conference room with Samantha cuddled into me. People were sitting in chairs all over the room. Women and men sat in couples chairs while other women sat alone. I walked over to the podium at the front of the room.

"Hello all, it's time to start the meeting for tonight" I said.

The meetings had started since I left the island. People knew I had given birth to Samantha on the island and they wanted me to give tips on having a baby in scary situations. I agreed because I had been there and I knew how scary it was to be there. I usually gave an hour lecture about the stuff the couples and singles asked the week before.

I finished up an hour later and began gathering up stuff to leave to meet Alec.

We always met at the same place. Ian's Diner. He would take Samantha and I would stay and eat. Every now and then, he would stay and eat with me and we would talk about the divorce we were about to get.

This time, we were going to sit down to eat and talk some more.

Alec was wearing a cotten brown shirt and a pair of dark jeans that fit nicely on his body. He gave me a nod when I walked up with Samantha. He held the door open for me and we walked to the back of the restaurant and sat in a booth.

"So I've had this burning question. But I think it needs to be answered before we finally make it known that we're splitting up" I said.

"What is it?" Alec ask, sipping his drink.

"Why do you want to get divorced?" I demanded.

"Because you kept her a secret from me." He motioned to Samantha.

"I didn't know for sure it was real. I didn't have anyway of knowing I was pregnant. I couldn't help it! I also thought you would be mad with me" I said feeling a pang in the bottom of my stomach.

He stood up, threw some money on the table and took Samantha quickly. He quickly made his way out the restaurant.

~in the present~

"My baby!" I screamed.

There was a man above me, blocking the blue sky. "What's your name?" He asked me.

"Bethany, where am I?" I asked.

"You're on an island, we crashed and I just found you. Are you okay? My name is Heath by the way" he said.

"Where's Alec?" I asked, sitting up quickly.

"Alec? I don't know an Alec. You're the only one who washed up" He said.

Oh god!
