Chapter 4
CONNIE'S P.O.V
My dad walked me back to Charlie's apartment. He didn't come up, nor did I offer him to. I still didn't feel 100% comfortable around him, the feeling of betrayal was still very much alive, and only time would heel that. When I walked through the door, the ducks were sat in the living room, chatting idly, but on my entrance they hushed, looking at me hopefully.
"Has Rach been ok"? I asked, taking my jacket off.
"Yeah, we haven't heard a thing from her"? Julie replied.
"So what did your dad have to say for himself"? Charlie burst out, obviously not being able to contain his curiosity any longer.
"Just that he wants to get to know Rach". I smiled, as Charlie jumped up, swallowing me into a hug, then leading me sit down in the same chair as he had originally been sat in.
"How'd you feel about that"? Julie asked.
"Truthfully, I honestly don't know. I mean I was just getting used to the fact that they didn't want to know, now suddenly he wants in. I suppose I just take it step by step".
"When are you seeing him again"? Ken asked.
"Ah, that brings me onto another favour. Are any of you free Monday night"?
"We have a game, why"? Charlie asked.
"Oh, it doesn't matter". I replied.
"Well I'm free, why, what's up"? Julie pointed out.
"My dad wants me to take Rach over for dinner, well as you can imagine, I'm not exactly thrilled, so he said I could take someone, you know to even the odds".
"I'll come with you". Julie said immediately.
"Are you sure, I can always either go alone, which won't be happening anytime soon, or cancel".
"No, I'll go with you".
"Thank you so much". I leant forward and hugged my friend.
We chatted idly for the next half an hour, then I heard Rachel stir, ready for her late lunch. Charlie offered to go and get her whilst I warmed up some baby mush which was supposed to be cauliflower and cheese. Normally she only had milk, but I was slowly introducing different baby foods. I was amazed when Fulton and Portman offered to feed her, I left them to it, waiting for the 'ugh's, ucks and dude this is sick', but I heard nothing. When they came back out of the kitchen, Rachel was cleaned up and there wasn't a spot of food in sight.
"What did you Guy's do, hold her mouth open and tip the food down her throat"? I joked as they passed Rach back to me.
"Nope, she really seemed to enjoy it, either that or Portman's plane sounds amused her". Fulton laughed.
"I was not making plane sounds". Portman argued embarrassed. "They were hockey noises". Laughter erupted.
"Well, I know who to come to in future when she's being as mardy as hell". I started burping her. "You'll both make great dad's yet". I joked.
After burping her, she was passed around again whilst I went to get ready for tonight, as apparently we were going out, since Casey and Gordon had offered to baby-sit. When I returned, I could tell by Rach's face, she was getting grumpy, just like her dad when he'd had enough of something. I laughed to myself as I walked over to them.
"Rachel Ann G.. Moreau". I quickly corrected myself, luckily no-one noticed my small error. "Are we showing off". I leant over the back of the sofa, she began crying now, huge tears fell down her cheeks and her face turned beetroot red.
She was handed back to me, and I tried bouncing her on my hip, swinging her gently, laying her down in her crib, rocking her gently, nothing seemed to work. I could see some of the ducks getting a little worried, that I couldn't calm her down. Eventually I opened her pram up and put her in it, before grabbing my jacket.
"Where you going Con's"? Charlie asked.
"Just a walk around the block". I strapped her in safely. "God, she reminds me of my mom, stubborn as pig shit". I laughed as I walked out the door.
"I'm coming with you". I heard Julie shout then run after me.
We walked in silence for the first 5 minutes, immediately as we set off Rach calmed and slowly fell to sleep, then we remained silent so as not to wake her, eventually Julie began talking.
"I don't know how you cope"? She commented.
"It comes with being a mom Jules, you'll understand one day". I laughed gently.
"Don't you ever regret having a baby at such a young age"?
"I used to, when I first found out that I was pregnant, I thought I was too young, and yeah I still sometimes think that I had her too early, but then I look at her, and wouldn't be without her".
"She's why you broke up with Guy isn't she"?
"Yeah". I replied quickly and simply so we could leave the subject.
"Why"?
"Put yourself in my situation, you live in a totally different state from your boyfriend and you get pregnant, how'd you think Adam would react? It was just the easiest and best option".
"Guy loves you though, he'd have accepted her as his own". God how was I going to respond to that.
"He shouldn't have to though. Things are good this way, we're friends and I want to keep it that way". I lied.
"Connie, little Connie Moreau". A oldish lady appeared from nowhere. "Well look at you, all grown up".
"Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but do I know you"? I looked into the old ladies eyes.
"Mrs Hartley, I used to baby-sit you when you were yay high". She told me. "Now look at you, your babysitting yourself".
"Oh, I remember you now, you used to have me over on a Friday night for card night". I smiled at my memory.
"Well whose this enchanting little lady". She cooed over Rachel.
"This is Rachel, my daughter". I corrected her earlier mistake.
"She can't be yours, you're what only 17/18 years old". She chuckled gently at my non joke.
"19, and she is". I told her matter of factly.
"Oh, well I have to go, nice seeing you again". She dashed away quickly.
We made our way back to the apartment, with the now peacefully sleeping Rachel. The ducks seemed very relieved by that. I slowly and gently transferred Rachel from her pram to the crib, then went back out to the waiting ducks, who were whispering.
"Guy's you don't need to whisper, she can sleep through just about everything, like her dad". I laughed seeing Charlie look at me.
"And her mom". Guy said who had been quiet all afternoon.
"So, did you have a good walk"? Charlie quickly changed the subject, I reminded myself to thank him later.
"Yeah, Mrs Hartley my old babysitter saw me". I told them.
"Oh, I remember her, she used to hold a card game every Friday night, when she used to look after you, can you remember that time I stayed with you when my Gran was ill, she had us both sneaking around the table too peep at the other opponents cards". Charlie laughed. "What did she say"?
"It's not what she said, it's what she's GOING to say". I told him.
"How'd you mean"? Adam asked, he had never met her as she had stopped babysitting me by the time he joined the ducks.
"Let's just say I'm going to be the talk of the town, this time tomorrow". I laughed not at all bothered by the fact, as there was a knock at the door.
Portman answered it as he was closest, he stepped back revealing Coach Bombay and Casey. We all began grabbing our jackets. I began reeling the list of what to do's and what not to do's to them, before Charlie and Adam laughingly lifted me out of the apartment, assuring me that Casey had looked after a baby before.
So what do you think? Please R&R!!!!!
