Sorry it took me so long to post this. I wanted to thank Collabkk, JujuGrace, and CourtKeeper1 for reviewing. Please Review. Also I still don't know if the baby is going to be a boy or girl so please let me know your opinion in the comments.
I was pacing up and down by Zach's bed. I came here so often I knew most of the nurses by first name. I hadn't talked to Bex or Macey since telling them I was pregnant. Honestly I was sort of glad. I didn't need t deal with anything else. Liz had been great though. She stayed for a few days and she's going to try and come and visit every couple of weeks. She just been really supportive and I really appreciate it. I wish I could talk to Bex and Macey about this. I understand why this might be hard for Macey, but I had no idea Bex would take it so badly. She was one of my best friends; I really needed her to be on board with this. I was upset so I decided to re-read some of my old cover-ops reports. The one I read today was the second semester of my sophomore year (When I met Zach). I smiled at all my "missions" like bugging his dorm and going on dates with him. It was so clear that I liked him. I fell asleep dreaming of a time that was so much simpler than now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liz called Bex for the 5th time today. She finally picked up.
"How long are you planning on avoiding Cam?"
"Hello to you to Lizzie."
"She's really upset you know."
"She should have thought about that before she went and got herself knocked-up"
"She's a married women, it's really not that big of a deal."
"Well considering her husband didn't want kids it is."
"It is really any of our business. Our job is to be there for Cammie and support her no matter what. "
"Well I don't support her choice. It's the wrong one."
"She hasn't made her choice yet."
"We all know she's going to take one look at that baby and decide to keep it."
"What is this really about Bex?"
"What ever do you mean?"
"This isn't really about Cammie being pregnant. It's something else and you are taking your anger out on her."
"No, I'm just very upset with Cammie."
"Why? "
"She's not the only one who cares about Zach."
"Bex um do you love him?"
"Maybe a long time ago, but not anymore. I've got…"
"Did Grant break up with you again?"
There was silence
"He did, didn't he? You're not mad at Cammie, your just taking t out on her."
"No she made a bad decision."
"Bex, I know break-ups are hard, but you need to learn not to take everything out on your friends especially your pregnant friend whose husband is in a coma."
"I still don't agree with it."
"That doesn't mean you can't support her. This is really hard on Cam."
"She looked fine when I saw her. "
"She's a spy Bex, a good one too. It was a cover-up. She looks like she hasn't had a descent night's sleep in weeks. The nurses tell me she comes to Zach's room and cries a lot. And the worst part is her best friend isn't talking to her. "
"So?"
"Bex she's your best friend"
"So?"
"So, suck it up and apologize to her and to Macey."
"What did I do to Macey?"
"You dragged her into the argument."
"Fine Lizzie, I'll apologize."
"Good."
Liz hung up feeling proud of herself, she was glad Bex and Cam's friendship would be back on track
"Hey Cammie?"
I turned around to look at who was calling me. It was Townsend.
"Yeah."
"Wow, your starting to show."
"That's exactly what every woman wants to here. That there getting fat."
"Well you are four months along, it's only natural…"
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to know what you were going to name the baby."
"Well I don't know if t's a boy or a girl. I can find out next week."
"Still you must have a few names picked out."
"Um yeah, I do" I say nervously
"Let me guess, you are going to name the kid Morgan."
"Actually that wasn't on my list."
"Oh, well what was on your list."
"Matthew or Zachery if it's a boy or Eleanor or Lily if it's a girl."
"Zach always liked the name Louisa." He said
"It's a pretty name" I say wondering what he's getting at.
"How are you feeling?" he asked me sounding generally concerned.
" Fi-Fine. Why do you ask?"
"Well you are caring my grandchild and I was just wondering if you are alright."
"I'm fine, thanks. How's Abby?"
"Oh she's good."
"How come you guys never had kids?"
"I don't really know. I guess because I already had a son."
"Yeah, but you missed 18 years of his life, wouldn't you want a second chance?"
"Ms. Morgan life isn't about second chances; it's about dealing with the choices you made. You can't keep running from your mistakes hoping that next time you wouldn't make the same ones." He smiled sadly at me" I'm going to get some coffee from downstairs, do you want anything?"
"No thanks"
As he left the room I couldn't help, but think about what he said. I had made a lot of mistakes in my life, but this baby wasn't going to be one of them.
Bex was a fairly outgoing person. She wasn't afraid to speak her mind, or dive into the unknown. Out of all of her friends she was the irrational one who leaped before thinking. Yet for some reason the though of apologizing scared the hell out of her. Cam was going to be a mother. She was taking this huge step and all Bex had being doing was making her cry. Bex wanted to be there for Cam she really did, but it just was so painful to watch Cammie get her happy ending. Even still Bex knew what she had to do. She called up Cammie.
