"… the baby is Mr Caledon Hockley's."
My world began to spin as I heard the two start to shriek with joy.
"Are you sure?" I heard myself as the nurse, not that it really mattered, I knew she wouldn't lie. The question was just for my re-assurance. Of course, we could always take another test with another nurse, possibly in another hospital, in some other state even, but hearing it twice would shatter me to pieces. When I finally came back to reality, and everything un-blurred, I noticed the nurse was gone and so were Ruth and Cal. They were going to Rose, of course, to share the news.
I jumped up quickly and sprinted down the hospital corridor and towards the elevator, it wasn't very polite to run but this was a crucial situation. If they told Rose without me there, she could think I fled the scene.
I stopped sprinting when I saw that Cal and Ruth were both waiting for the elevator.
"There you are." Ruth said.
"How dare you think you can tell Rose this news without me!" I yelled.
"We wouldn't do it without you, of course, I want to see your face when I ruin your life." Cal said.
"You won't ruin any of our lives, you being the father changes nothing!" I told him.
"I plan on taking Rose and Belle back to the lives we are meant to live, we will be one happy family." The elevator arrived and everyone walked in.
"She will never let that happen and you know it." I muttered.
Soon, we were all out of the elevator and down the hall, where we came to a stop outside room 4.
"I can't do this." I whispered.
"I'll do it." Cal shoved me out of the way and opened the door.
Roses POV
I was awoken rudely by someone shoving my door open, and when I saw who it was I wasn't very pleased. I sat up quickly and was relieved to see that Jack was with them; however the look on his face was not very comforting.
"Jack?" I questioned. He walked over to me and kissed my cheek. A warmth stayed where he placed it, but the kiss itself wasn't re-assuring at all. A million things went through my mind at that moment.
"What is going on?" I demanded to know, seeing as no-one had said anything but me since they all walked in, "is Belle alright?"
"Belle is fine, dear." Mother smiled that smile again. This was not good.
"Jack, what's wrong?" I looked deep into his sad blue eyes.
"I will love you two like nothing else in this world." He whispered.
"Jack?"
"Oh for gods sake," Cal said in a loud voice, "Belle is our baby."
I looked at Jack, astounded by what had just been said.
"I don't believe the lies that come out of your mouth!" I yelled to Cal.
"It isn't a lie," Jack muttered, "It isn't a lie."
With this, I felt tears forming in my eyes. Belle was meant to be Jack and mine, our beautiful love child that we would cherish until the end of time, not some imbecile's child like Cals!
"Get out." I told the two, "GET OUT!" I screamed.
"You can't deny the truth," my mother stated on her way out the door, "we will be right here."
The door shut.
"Jack, tell me this is all a joke." I pleaded. He took my hand and cupped it between his.
"I wish it was." He whispered. A tear fell from my eye and landed on my cheek, which he soon wiped off.
"This doesn't change anything, I still love you two and will continue to love you." He told me, but at that moment I couldn't listen. My world was crumbling before me as I heard him continue to say things like "forget about them" and "we can always have more babies, together."
