"Chris, I can't believe we're doing this," I sighed as we waited for our turn at the Vegas casino.

"I can't either Soul Sista," he grinned. "But I'm happy."

I wasn't. Chris and I didn't love each other like we used to, we were just doing us to that we wouldn't have a bastard child. All of our friends had babies and we were next. Was it like a curse or something? Why did all of this have to happen?

I used to baby-sit and wish for a baby, but I guess I didn't mean it. I didn't want this baby to ruin my singing career, my life. Chris and I were working on a demo and then I wound up pregnant, and now we were in Vegas getting hitched. Toby had a baby and now I would be like him.

I could see Chris frown and seriously he said, "Ashley, I really love you and this is the best thing I could do. I'm not just doing this for the baby, I'm happy to be with you."

I felt so bad that I couldn't say it in return. "I don't want this baby," I blurted out. "I don't want to get married, I just want to finish my demo."

Needless to say, Chris was crushed. "I'll take care of the baby then," he said. "Just sign over your rights."

And it was like that. I had the baby and Chris disappeared with him.

I heard that Chris had moved on and married a woman named Mandy and she bore him four children and they were happy. He was a successful producer and was often in magazines with his wife. His wife was really lucky and very pretty, and I was often jealous when I saw them together. I had seen Chris a lot with our son and Chris would speak and so would our son. He was such a beautiful baby. But, like I'd often wish he never came running to me screaming momma.

I did end up having a little family shortly after we had split up, but none of my marriages lasted. I kept all of my children, Kayleigh, Hailey, and Bailey. I became a songwriter, but I never sung. I was too afraid that while on stage I'd see Chris and our son, and I'd cry.

I wrote a lot of my songs based on that, and I regretted giving up my rights, but I couldn't argue with Chris and ruin our son's life. He had a "mother" and brothers and sisters. Even some that he didn't know about.
