Chapter 8
"Mickie?"
"Oh what? Sorry"
"Are you okay? You seem nervous."
"Oh I'm fine, can I start the conversation that I want to talk to you about?"
"Sure go right ahead."
"Well, first off, I'm pregnant."
"Oh, who's baby?" Jeff looked at me, but this time his eyes looked sad and weren't sparkling.
"Chris's, but he's gone and I don't know how to tell him."
"Well, the easiest way would be to call and tell him."
"Yeah, I know…but how?"
"Well, just like every other call you make."
"Look, Jeff. Nothing is as easy as it seems."
"Well, he's your baby's father. He is gunna have to find sooner or later."
"But if I tell him now, he might not accept it, but if I tell him later he will be mad guaranteed."
"Its better to have him not accept the fact that he's gunna be a dad than to not accept you."
Arriving at the hotel
"Thanks! Your answers helped me a lot."
"No problem"
Jeff gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I rolled my eyes. I got out and went up the stairs and lay down on my sheet comforter.
"RING-A-RING-RING" The phone sounded as if it was happy.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Cena?"
"No, Ms. James, I'm engaged to Mr. Cena."
"Oh, well there was a terrible accident today including Christopher Cena. He was on his way home because of a change in plans and the airplane motor broke for no explanatory reason and it went down. Neither he, nor any of the other passengers survived. I'm very sorry for your loss."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, ma'am, I'm sure of it, there were no survivors."
"But I'm pregnant! Don't say that, he can't be dead, no, no, no, I need him."
"Ma'am if you need any help I will be happy to find some help for you."
"No, I'm fine. Can you bring his body back so we can have a proper burial?"
"Yes, we can, but we will be taking it to his fathers, so you can go there."
"Okay, thank you goodbye."
I hung up the phone and started crying like a baby. The hormones made it worse than it actually was even though it was pretty bad. I ran out of my hotel room and all the way out to Jeff's car. I had left mine at the arena earlier that night. I got in it and realized that the keys weren't there. I then remembered that Jeff gave me a key to his room just in case I needed something. I ran back to my room and grabbed the key and went to his room. I quietly opened the door and used my phone as a light and walked out to where his night stand was. I grabbed the car keys and looked at him sleeping so peacefully.
I can't believe I'm doing this, I'm so sorry Jeff.
I turned around and before I could go anywhere, I heard.
"Mickie, bring me my keys back." I walked over to him and gave him both keys.
"MJ, why you stealing my stuff?"
I started crying and told him the whole story about the phone call from the guy who told me about Chris, and how he died, and why I wanted to take his car.
"Come here babe…you can't live like this. You have people who need you more than ever. Like John, I mean its his brother, how do you think he feels?"
"I don't know, but I don't know how I can live with this, I have no one."
"You have me…" Jeff said sleepily and wrapped his arms around me and was sound asleep. I soon fell asleep listening to the sound of his heartbeat. I started dreaming and then Chris popped out of nowhere and stopped me from doin whatever I was doing.
"MJ, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I'm gone and that I'm not going to be there for our baby. Please accept my death, for if it wasn't meant to happen god wouldn't have let it. Me and you weren't meant to be, this baby is just a remembrance of our love. There is someone else out there for you, and he may be closer than you think. I'm giving you my blessing to go and find someone who will love and care for you and the baby. I love you, don't forget that, and I hope I still hold a special place inside your heart." Then he disappeared.
I woke up crying, and in a deep sweat. Jeff still had his arms around me and was sleeping like a baby. I smiled at him and went back to sleep.
