Lauren's POV
The baby is due in two weeks and right now, everything is a mess. I am trying to work things out the best I can with Nora to make sure the adoption can still go as planned; but she really doesn't want me seeing Jesse right now, at least not until the baby is born.
I kind of agree with her since everything is so complicated right now. I haven't really been talking to him much aside from seeing him around school. I'm afraid he only likes me because I'm pregnant, Nora is worried about that too, and she's especially afraid that I might end up changing my mind.
"I want another meeting with the parent." Jesse said
"I don't think that's a good idea, you're not even my boyfriend anymore." I said
"Well apparently she's the one who decides that, not us, so I'd like another shot with her." Jesse said
"Just stop it. You acted like a jerk so Nora talked to me about waiting until the baby is born to be in a relationship. Which, I'm sorry, sounded like a reasonable request. Right now I have to focus on myself and the baby." I said
"Well do you want me back or not?" Jesse asked
"I do, but what's the point if you're going to meet with her again. I'll just get another lecture, feel guilty, and break up with you again." I said
"Guilty about what?" Jesse asked
"About doing anything that would potentially upset this person. I want her to be the parent. She's great and she really hasn't required a lot from me so—" I started
"Haven't required a lot from you? Just wait until the baby breaks out of you and leaves your insides destroyed. You think that's not asking a lot of you? To go through child birth and then hand over the baby to her?" Jesse asked
"That doesn't happen you idiot." I said
I really do miss Jesse and I really wanted things to work out, but he needs to understand just how big of a deal this is for me.
