~Chapter 9~
Greta had finally been sent home again and Austin promised he make sure she ate. They were becoming very close. I did not worry me that much. I decided I would go to see my sister at the hospital and talk to her about what I found out about Greta. I knew she would probably be able to help make sense of it all. I found her sitting at a table in the cafeteria. I walked over to her. "Hey Sami." She turned around. "Hey Eric. What are you doing here?" "I came to talk to you." "Well then take a seat." I took a seat across the table from her. "So what's wrong, Eric?" "It's Greta and the baby." "Are they okay?" "They're fine I hope. It just I do not think the baby's mine. However, I do not know who the father could possibly be. I could be wrong but Lexie said that the baby had to have been conceived at the same time as Nicole and I know it wasn't." Then I saw my sister staring at me. I knew I had said too much. "How do you know when Nicole's baby was conceived? Were you there?" "Sami, I know I can't trust you to tell no one but Nicole's child is mine." She started laughing. I looked at her shocked. "What's so funny?" "The fact that you of all people become a father twice. But I think I can be of some aid to you question about the father of Greta's baby."
I stared at her in astonishment. What could she know?
When I got home from work, the baby kicked. It sacred me at first. Then it made me think of Eric and how much I loved him. Maybe there was still a chance for us and for this baby inside of me to be a family. I sat down on the couch in the living room. I started to think about what my life would be like if I was married to Eric and my baby was born. It seemed perfect. I was on cloud nine and did not realize my husband had come in the room. "Well don't you look happy. I bet your thinking of the perfect family we are going to have when this baby is born. Am I right?" I looked at him and smiled. "You are exactly right." I kissed him while thinking of Eric. "You know he or she is quite a kicker. He or she just kicked me." He smiled. "Can I feel." I nodded. He put his hand on my stomach, smiled again, and kissed me. "You know this baby is going to have such a happy life here, with me, you and Will." I wished he had not mentioned that little bratty son of his. Why he had to be in my life. I had yet to figure out. "I bet the two kids will get along wonderfully. Don't you?" "Yes they will. I know Will would love to have a little brother or sister. Speaking of Will I'm going to go check on him." He left the room and I was left their thinking on my one and only love, Eric Roman Brady.
After Eric left for the hospital, I looked at Greta. She looked so pretty. "So are you feeling any better?" She smiled at me. "Much that is when our baby isn't kicking. You want to feel?" I loved hearing her say "our" baby. I walked over to her and put my hand on her stomach. She then kissed me. It felt so good. I did not ever want it to stop. However, she finally pulled away. "Austin you know this isn't right. " I looked at her "and you being pregnant with my child isn't right either but it happened. Didn't it?" She looked at me. "Just because it happened doesn't me it's right. You have Sami and I…" "Greta, Sami means just as much to me and Eric does to you. Which from what I can see he doesn't mean much to you at all." She turned away. "Austin, it's the moral behind it. We both have someone else and we should try to be as true as possible to them." "Ok, I'll try but only under one condition. And that is if you can tell me this." I kissed her. "Means nothing to you. So does it because it meant something to me Greta" For a long time she just stared into to space. Finally, she answered, "Austin, yes it meant something to me more than you know." "Then why can't we try to be true to our heats. Cause if you heart is saying what mine is then shouldn't we go with what our hearts our saying?" I pleaded with her. "I would love to Austin but only after we don't have anyone else to worry about. So until you and I are not with the twins then kissing is all we are going to do. Agreed?" I could not say no to her. "Ok, just as long as we can kiss." "That we can definitely do." She then kissed me again.
After Belle left, I could not stop thinking about her. Going back to school for even a week with out her was going to be hard. I just wanted to see her every moment of every day. However, I had to be cool and act like she meant nothing to me, which I thought will not be that hard because I had been acting like that for so long. The first people I had to fool were my parents and that was going be hard. When I woke up the next morning and got down stairs my parents were smiling at me. "What are you two so happy about?" "I just talked to John and Marlena and they told us about you and Belle. Is they're something you want to tell us?" my dad questioned. "There is nothing to say. And I don't know what they told you about Belle and me but they are wrong." I start to walk into to the kitchen, grabbed some toast, and start to think about Belle.
