Ch. 3- The Rain on My Face

(Continued---Four Months)

"Val?" Tyler asked as he approached his friends. Jamie knew he should have told Tyler and Hank. They were after all he's friends, but he didn't want another lecture from anyone. However, to Jamie and Val's amazement, they were both happy for Jamie, if they we disappointed in him they didn't show it. Finally, somebody was as glad as Jamie was to be having this baby. Of course he hadn't planed it and it wasn't particularly the right time, but he couldn't wait to be a father, that he had created a person.

Caitie lay on the bed in the doctor's office as Jamie held her hand and Dr. Weidman began to do the ultrasound. On the small TV like machine, Caitie began to see the image of a baby. "It's strong and it's weight size looks good. Would you like to know the sex of your baby?" Caitie looked over at Jamie, he's eyes gleamed, and he nodded.

"It's a girl." she said and then turned of the machine. After Caitie redressed, she address the pair again. "You and your baby are doing great, just kept eating right and taking those vitamins I gave you." said the Doctor. "I'll give you copies of the ultrasound."

"Well, we have to start thinking of a name." Jamie said in Caitie's car, on the way home.

"I was thinking Teresa or Ashlyn."

"Ashlyn? Isn't that a boys name?" Jamie replied. "How about Amelia or Helen? Ashlyn Waite doesm't sound right."

"I hope you meant to say Ashlyn Roth."

"Shouldn't the baby have the father's name?"

"When was the last time I saw you carrying a baby?"

"How about we drop this subject for awhile?"

Caite smiled. "That sounds like a good idea." Jamie looked out the window they had made it to her home. "Stay for dinner. You've got to come in some time." Jamie had been avoiding Caitie's house, for the past couple of months. "Anything for you." he replied as they walked up the steps that led to the front door.

"Have you thought about adoption?" Jamie's sister, over the phone. It was the third time in a week that he had spoken to Megan. Megan and Jamie had always been close, and often Peter resented the fact that they were so much alike and when they had been littler, left him out of things. Peter was so much like, Mrs. Waite, quiet, shy, and smart. Megan and Jamie had taken on their father's traits of being sarcastic, witty, and a "troublemaker".

Megan, only lived an hour away and sometimes Jamie or Jimmy as he was called by he's only sister, to baby-sit, Hannah, when she and Paul were too busy with the restaurant.

"Meggie, I won't."

"I understand that, but can you really support a baby? You don't even have a job." she said pressing the subject further. "I'm not, Peter. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but what kind of life can you and Caitie give this baby?" She tried to persuaded Jamie. She knew he would value her opinion. Megan, agreed with Peter, for once in her life. Jamie should not be having a child right now.

Jamie thought about, Megan's statement for a moment. Could he give he's baby a good life, when he wasn't even out of high school yet?

Caitie stood dripping wet standing on Val's front steps. She felt like a wet cow. Her whole body ached and none of her clothes seemed to fit any more. In school it was just about obvious that she was pregnant. While, she didn't care what other people thought of her, she didn't like her personal business spread around school.

"Come on in, the rain isn't good for you." Val stated. Soon, Caitie and Val were sitting on Val's bed, Caitie wrapped in a blanket.

"What happened?"

"Jamie and I had a fight. He says we should think about adoption."

"Will you?" Val asked. "Think about it I mean."

"I could never give up my baby, Val, to be raised by someone else." Caitie said. "I could kill Jamie for even suggesting it."

"He'll turn around, he's just scared. Listen, why don't you spend the night? Brooke's at a friends."

"Ok." Caitie mumbled as she quickly fell asleep.

(Six Months)

"So, do Hank, Tyler, and I pick you guys up at around 8?" Jamie asked at the station, weeks later.

"How do you know I want to go with you, to the prom?" Caitie said. After the fight Caitie had stopped talking to Jamie.

"Caitie." Jamie started as she turned and walked out.

So, that left Jamie sitting at home, alone the night of Junior-Senior Prom. The school had decided to combine the two, so it would be cheaper.
Until the phone rang.

"Jamie, you've got to meet us at the hospital." Hank said.
