Chapter 26
"Mark im so sorry" I said
"You should be keeping this from me, you could have came to me", I laid my head on his chest "I was scared mark,everything was out of control, I was scared you wouldn't want this baby, I was scared of what Brock would do when he found out, he already broke your hand over all that I couldn't bear anything else happening to your over me, I was scared you'd want me to..." I trailed off looking down, mark frowned and lifted my chin making me look at him "Samantha I would never ask you to get rid of our child" I tearfully looked up at him he hadn't put two and two together yet "Mark she could be Brock's" I whispered, he shook his head "She's mine she's got my last name, she's mine" he replied sternly.
"mark I didn't want to mess up your marriage either or have her be treated differently by your wife" I said, he nodded staying quiet for a moment.
"and if I told you her and I divorced baby wasn't mine" he said, I nodded staying quiet
"You'll start to resent us, being tied to a child you didn't want, especially after dodging a bullet with her" I said still pressed against him, he pushed me back "Dont ever say that, I want this baby, im so happy about this baby" mark said, I just nodded
I nodded knowing better then to argue back "Mark I didn't do this on purpose." I said tears spilling down her cheeks again. "I know that..Shh, stop all that crying." He said pulling her back to his chest.
Mark rubbed my back, willing me to calm down. "Baby its going to be fine, I promise, you got me im back and not going any where and I know ken has been glued to your side, and who ever that guy was you were with when I came in you're not alone in this, okay." oh he saw chuck, this is awkward
I just nodded, but didn't move I decided for now to just stick to Abigail, Mark felt her calming down and he moved her back laying her back on the bed. ran his hand over her belly smiling.
"so tell me about the guy" He growled at me, I sighed "His my boyfriend mark, his been there for me through my pregnancy, and today we made it official, his name's chuck, he works with ken" I said honestly, mark nodded "You moved on quickly" he said I rolled my eyes slipping off his lap "you and I haven't been together in almost two years now mark, you married someone else!" I replied he nodded "And you fucked Brock and now this guy" he said "I fucked Brock and trust me if I knew for a fact she was a hundred percent yours I would wish to take that back, as for chuck I haven't slept with him not that it's any of your business" I hissed to him.
He went to reply when ken and chuck walked into the room I smiled as chuck walked straight over to me "Here we brought you some Graham crackers and juice, how are you feeling?" he asked me ignoring mark I nodded "I'm good sleepy but good" I replied.
"Well sweetie chuck and I are being forced to go, since mark's the daddy he can stay but we gotta go, I'll be back in the morning" ken said mark got up moving out of his way ken bent forward kissing my forehead "Get some rest" he said I nodded and he headed out.
I looked at chuck and smiled "Go get your kid's I'll see you later" I said, he nodded bending down lightly kissing my lips "get some rest baby, I'll be back in the morning" he replied I just nodded as he kissed me one more time before leaving.
I sighed looking at mark "Are you staying or going because im exhausted" I said not in the mood to fight.
"I'm staying" he said I nodded "I'm going to bed im sure you can ask a nurse for some extra blankets and pillows and that couch thingy pulls out into a bed" I said, he nodded as I looked up smiling at Abby and then laid my head down, my eyes quickly closing.
The next morning, I groaned waking up I felt so tired, Abby woke up ever four hour's to eat, dipar change, I had to wake mark up once to help me because it hurt so much to move and if I breast feed I cant take anything for the pain, I tore my quad and this is hurting me?
I felt like a pansy, I heard mark talking and looked over seeing him holding Abby on his cell "Yea Vince that's right a baby, oh don't I know Stephanie's going to kill her, she's right here, she's sleeping" he looked at me and I knew I was in for an ass chewing I sighed "Yea Vince I'll tell her when she get's up bye" mark hung up.
"Well I got two weeks off so I can stay and help you" mark said, I knew better then to argue even though I was pretty sure chuck would be around to oh well mark can help with the baby, chuck can help me out, my doctor smiled walking in
"good morning how are you feeling?" he asked I smiled "Ready to go home" I replied I hated hospitals he looked over the charts and nodded "OK well im OK with sending you home but I want you on mild bed rest for the next two week's, OK so the baby has to do some tests make sure she's all good to go other then that, I will see you in three week's normally its four to eight but with what happened I want to see you as early as possible" he said I nodded thanking him.
"Um mark, would you mind um helping me to the bathroom" I asked he just nodded as he sat the sleeping baby carefully down and stood by the door waiting on me I looked down embarrassed "Um I cant get up my legs are still a little numb" I said, he nodded and came over "you know better then to get an epidural remember your neck?" he growled at me helping me up "Sorry for being an inconvenience to you" I snapped as he helped me "Hey if I didn't want to girl I wouldn't be here and you know that" he snapped back, I went to say something when I looked at his face and snapped my mouth shut.
We got into the bathroom and I grabbed the rail "Thank you, im just gonna change" I said quietly he nodded "You sure your OK to do that? You need help? Seriously I don't want you to hurt yourself" he said, I sighed "Um I think I can do it, besides it's kinda embarrassing" I replied he nodded and slowly walked out of the bathroom "And mark there was not time for an epidural, my leg numbness is from the injections he gave me so he could stop the bleeding" I said, he nodded and walked out, I sighed
i sat down and slowly changed put on a pair of yoga style Capri's, I slipped on a white tank top, shoving the other clothes into my bag, I heard the nurse come in and get Abby, "Shit" I mumbled trying to stand up quickly as I heard ken and chuck, I saw the door open and smiled seeing chuck "Hey beautiful" he said as he bent down lightly kissing me "legs still numb baby?" he asked I laughed nodding my head yes and giggled as he picked me up and carried me to the bed.
"So I hear you get to bust out of here today?" ken asked I smiled "As long as Abigail is good then yuppers thank god I hate hospitals" I said shaking my head "it always reminds me of the stick" I said as ken held up his hands "Hey your the one who took your brothers bet of how far you can shove it up your nose" I rolled my eyes "Yea well I was seven what the hell did I know?" I replied laying back yawning "your dad was so pissed I remember me him and frank was down at the gym training and your mom called him, after he got over the is my daughter an idiot rant he stops looks at me and we both just started laughing he goes what ever Justin bet her she better get" ken said making me smile, its very rare that my farther is spoken of so this rare moment is nice.
A few hours later I found myself curled up with Abigail on my couch napping chuck had to go meet with Dana about some fight thing and then take his kid's to dinner and ken I don't know was off doing something, leaving mark and I here alone, I gave him the guest bedroom "hey you hungry?" came mark's voice, I looked up at him he looked tired I gave a small smile "a little" I replied he nodded telling me he was going to get something to eat and he'd be back asking if I needed anything "um no im fine" I said feeling slightly sad about being left alone "what?" mark said a little irritated I shook my head slowly sitting up.
I put Abigail in her little swing thing and smiled at him "nothing" I replied just as my phone went off, I looked down at it seeing I had a text from chuck "Hey leaving dinner no from your favorite place want your use ale?" he sent I smiled telling him yes "Hey mark don't worry about me chuck's going to bring me something" I told him, he just nodded and left slamming the door behind him, I sighed sitting down on the couch.
I turned the TV on watching TV while I waited for chuck, I didn't understand mark I mean hell as far as I knew he was married what else was I supposed to do? Sit and pine for him?
Mark sat in the back of a restraunt waiting for his food, hell he knew he had no right to be angry with her, but fuck he spent all this time looking for her to find her after to she just gave birth curled up next to some other guy, he knew he had no right but that didn't stop him.
I smiled kissing chuck lightly as we walked into the kitchen I sat on the counter opening the to go box "mm thank you" I said smiling as he stood in front of me his hands on my legs "No problem baby" he replied and kissed me, he let me know he was going to go into the living room and watch some fight thing I nodded telling him I'd be in after I was done. I knew mark and I were going to have to sit and talk make some boundaries between us, especially if Abby was his, I know his saying she's his but there was a chance she wasn't I had sex with Brock a lot more then I did with mark at the time.
before I knew it I heard yelling I jumped off the counter to see mark and chuck standing in front of each other both men's jaw's clenched and fist's ready "Hey Hey" I yelled running to the middle of them putting my back to chuck and my hands on mark's chest making him look down at me.
"What the fuck is going on?" I asked confused to get nothing but silence I sighed not again I wasn't doing this again "Chuck go up to my room please" I said turning my head to him looking at him he just nodded he bent down and lightly kissed me I felt mark tense underneath my hand.
I sighed sitting looking at mark "How come you can go get married but I cant date someone else? Yea I may have just gave birth to maybe MAYBE your daughter but that does not give you the right to come into my home and start shit with my boyfriend, you got me?" I said looking him dead in the eye.
"Yea whatever Sam" he said and went upstairs leaving me downstairs by myself I sighed I had worked so hard to give myself the peace I needed, I just hoped that these men didn't ruin it, like it had just ten months ago, I got up grabbing Abby and went up to my room.
