L.A. Invasion- Chapter 08: The Clinic
------
Spinner's POV
------
I entered the clinic with Riley hovered into my chest, my arm around her waist. I felt her trembling against me, she was so afraid. Not only that, but my heart was pounding, MINE! At that point the only thought going through my some-what vacant mind was 'God, I wish she wasn't doing this.'
Her hand shakely signed the given forms and she returned to sit close beside me in the waiting room. I pushed away her hair and I whispered soothingly in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She turned her head after my words and allowed herself to smile.
Even though it wasn't a happy smile, any smile from her was going to be the end of me.
"Excuse me, Sir." I assumed whoever was talking was speaking to someone else, so I didn't raise my head. "Sir." The person repeated, this time I looked up to find an older looking woman standing in front of me.
"Uh, yes?" I asked, my voice in a semi-high rise of confusion.
The gray haired woman creased her pink lips into a soft smile. "Hello, I'm Nurse Sarah." I nodded at her words. "I'll be taking Riley for her procedure very shortly, but I'd like to know for confidential purposes, are you the father?
I was literally stunned, I actually could hear myself stuttering at the answer. It should have been easy, right? Just say no, I'm not the father. Hint should is the key word. For some reason I didn't know what to say to this woman, instead I looked over at Riley.
"No---"
But I cut her off, "Yes Nurse Sarah, I am the child's father." She smiled once again, and told me that they'd be ready for Riley soon.
"If you'd like," Nurse Sarah said. "You can go into the room with Riley, sometimes it's more comforting with someone you are close to." Then she walked away.
"What was that for?" Riley nudged my arm, and to be honest, she did it rather harshly.
"What?"
"Telling that woman that you were the kid's father. Why the hell would you do something like that?" Her voice now rising in anger.
"I don't know, I wanted to help. I want to be there with you, you can't go through this alone. Why should it matter anyway? At least I care for you and what's going. The guy who did this to you obviously didn't have a clue what you would be going through."
Riley stood up, she grabbed my hand and held it tightly. "It matters because… because now I can't do this!" With that she let go of the grip she had on my hand and ran out of the clinic.
I heard her name being called as I ran after her. I was thankful when I found Riley sitting in the car, her hands covering her face.
"Why can't you go through with it?" I asked, while opening the car door.
"Because, it's my fault." She sniffed, I could barely understand her words between the sobs and the muffle sounds from her hands. "I'd regret it so much. I know it's not wrong, but just the thought of me going in there pregnant and coming out not, it made me feel so unclear. And when you told the nurse that you were the father…"
"I'm sorry about that."
She touched my arm lightly, "No, it made everything clear. I think this is the right choice, for me anyway, not have an abortion."
Before I knew it, her head was nuzzled into my shoulder with her arms wrapped around my neck. Riley Harrison was actually hugging me. I tightly wrapped both of my arms around her waist.
We broke away from the closeness and she softly spoke, "Thank you, Spin. Thanks for being here."
It took every power and instinct in my mind and body not to kiss her, I knew she was too vulnerable for something like that to occur, but it didn't change the fact that I wanted it to happen. Damn, I wanted it so badly to happen.
