Chapter 12 The Truth comes out.


He was staring at his phone, he saved Charlotte's number on his contacts, he thought about her and his mind drifted to the conversation "I'm pregnant" she had said to him. Within seconds half of the things in his desk were flying all over the room. He was so full of anger that he punched the wall and let out a half-scream of pain.

"Coop? Are you…" Violet paused as she looked at the things scattered across the floor. "Oh my God, Coop, what did you do?" She rushed towards him when she saw the blood in his knuckles.

"She's pregnant!, She's almost 6 months pregnant! But God forbid she would've swallowed her damn pride and told me sooner that I'm going to be a father!"

"You're going to a father?" Violet said excited "Wait… who's pregnant?"

"Charlotte" Cooper was feeling a little calmer now "Charlotte's pregnant, with my kid, she just called to tell me"

Violet helped Cooper up and the walked towards the couch "Wow, Charlotte's pregnant, who'd have thought"

"She's almost 6 months… and… I can't believe I missed the first 6 months of her pregnancy just because she's too proud, those are the first 6 months of MY child's life! How could she hide that from me?" Cooper looked at Violet like if he was expecting her to answer these things for him.

"I don't know Cooper, she was hurt and probably scared, so she probably didn't knew how to tell you… considering you guys are not together anymore" Violet pause for a second "Maybe she was just trying to figure out how she felt about everything, so she decided, before telling you she needed to know how she felt about it"

"That sounds stupid!" Cooper shouted

"Really Cooper? Because you never told me how stupid I sounded when I was going trough those emotions, when I was pregnant with Lucas" Violet got up to leave since she felt a little hurt herself.

Cooper thought for a couple of seconds, when Violet got pregnant she didn't wanted to tell any of the possible fathers, then she wouldn't get a paternity test because she was trying to figure out how she felt about being a mother herself, and given she told both possible fathers way before that Charlotte had told him, but maybe, just maybe Cooper could understand why Charlotte did it… but he was still pissed and now he had gone and hurt Violet's feeling too.

"I'm sorry Vi" he said getting up and grabbing Violet's arm. "I didn't mean it… I'm just… I'm just really mad that she hid this from me, I didn't mean to take it out on you, please… I'm sorry"

"I wasn't agreeing with what she did, just so you know, I'm just trying to understand it"

"I know" Cooper was interrupted by his phone beeping.

He opened it and saw a text from Charlotte

~"Check your e-mail I sent you some pictures"~

Cooper got up and sat in front of his computer, he opened his e-mail account, and he saw the e-mail. As soon as he opened it pictures started to load. He was waiting but he had a smile on his face already. There were 4 pictures of sonograms the fist one he figured was when she first got a sonogram the baby was visible but it looked more like a bug than a baby, the second said 4 months under it, and now the baby was looking more like a baby than a bug, the third one was a 3D sonogram picture it showed the perfect shape of a baby and said 5 months underneath it. The last picture he couldn't make up to well but it had something written in the sonogram it said "Hi, I'm a little girl" He covered his smile with his hands happiness busting out of him.

"Why are you smiling Coop?" Violet asked, Cooper had completely forgotten that she was still there.

"I'm… umm…. I'm having a baby girl" He told Violet signaling for her to come see the pictures with him.

"Oh my God, Coop, she looks so cute already! Wow congrats daddy you're having a baby girl" Violet hadn't realized Cooper wasn't smiling anymore he was looking carefully at the pictures and his face was getting red with anger. "Coop, what's going on?" But before she could react Cooper was getting up.

"She knew!" Cooper yelled while storming out of his office, the loud sound his door made when he swung it open startled everyone that was in the kitchen.


"What the hell is going on?" Amelia asked.

Cooper stormed in the kitchen.

"You knew" He said pointing at Addison "And you didn't tell me! How dare you Addison!"

Everyone was surprised by Cooper's reaction, Addison's mouth dropped "Cooper what are you talking about, what did I knew?" In the back of her head Addison was wishing Cooper was talking about something else but she knew this was about Charlotte.

"Don't play dumb with me Addison, you know what I'm talking about! You knew Charlotte's pregnant!"

"Charlotte's pregnant? By who?" Sam asked.

Addison and Cooper gave him evil looks. "It's my baby and Addison knew and she didn't told me!"

Addison looked around everyone was there even Violet had joined after Cooper "Everyone out!" she demanded "And don't stand around waiting to hear, go do some real work"

Everyone left and Addison closed the doors. "I will tell you what happened but first answer me this, How'd you find out?" She asked Cooper.

"She called me earlier to tell me, and then she sent some pictures of sonograms and in the last two pictures your name is set as the doctor's name.

Addison was lost a words "I… mmm…. I… couldn't tell you Coop"

"Why the fuck not Addison, that's my child!"

"In Charlotte's body! Listen I knew Charlotte was going to come around eventually and tell you about the baby… I found out a couple of weeks ago when I went there to perform her CVS test and the sonogram to find out the sex of the baby, I told her that she should tell you but she said no and… well what did you want Cooper? I could've told you, yes… but then it would've been risking her running off again this time with you knowing about your child or I could've done what I did be her doctor throughout her pregnancy and ensure that both her and your baby were ok!" Addison sat down and covered her face with her hands "I'm sorry I didn't tell you Cooper but I promised her, and I promised her because I thought it would be better if she… if she at least had someone there… someone that is also in YOUR life."

Cooper understood what Addison meant but he was still mad "It's still messed up Addison!" He said while leaving the kitchen.

He went back into his office and started checking plane tickets and hotel rooms and the while stopping to look at his daughter 3D sonogram picture that showed her perfectly, the picture was now his computer background.

Addison sat in her desk and saw she had 2 missed calls from Charlotte and a text message, she opened the message…

~"I told Cooper, if he asks deny that you know anything, I don't want to cause you any troubles, I'm sorry for putting you in the middle Addison"~

She texted Charlotte back ~"I told him that I knew, and you didn't got me into this, I agreed to get involved, and just so you know I'm glad you finally told Cooper"~


Two weeks later

Cooper had tried to move everything around so he could've been here earlier but he couldn't, but the time finally came and here he is… sitting on a bench in Central Park… waiting for Charlotte. The early November weather was really chilly, so he felt cold and wished he would've worn a sweater and not just a long sleeved shirt. He shuddered a little and thought about going shopping for a sweater quickly, he looked at his watch 1:15 p.m. he felt a little nervous Charlotte had told him they would meet here at 1:00 p.m. and Charlotte was the most punctual person in the world, so that made him nervous she was 15 minutes late, and he was starting to think Charlotte had backed out.

He looked around and then… he saw Charlotte walking or as he saw it she was waddling a little toward him, he felt the need to run and hug her but he was still mad at her.

"I'm sorry I'm late… takes me longer now to get dress" Charlotte said avoiding looking at him.

Cooper felt lost at word… his feelings were all over and all mixed… all he could do was look at her…
