Ch.41

After almost 2 hours of waiting in the main lobby of 'St. Vincent's" Chloe saw Shayne walking in through the main entrance looking around.

"Shayne!" Chloe called out.

Shayne rushed over to her… "Chloe, what's going on? Why did u want to meet me here? Where's Allison?" Shayne asked all fast.

"Shayne, we need to talk, come on let's sit" Both Shayne and Chloe sat down on one of the sofas.

Chloe looked at him and didn't even know where to start. "Shayne, Allison is here in the hospital as a patient"

"What?" Shayne asked as he felt worry and was confused now knowing anything.

"Before I tell you why or how or anything, I need to tell you something else first." Chloe said not positively sure if she should but knew she would have to.

"Chloe, what the hell is going on?" Shayne asked a bit annoyed at the fact that he wasn't getting answers as quick as he wanted them.

"Shayne, I know I'm not the person who has to tell you this, but I know that if I don't tell you Allison wont either, and I believe you should and have a right to know"

"Ok Chloe, tell me already" Shayne said having no clue of what he was about to find out.

"Shayne, Allie's almost 6 months pregnant. …" Chloe said hesitating a bit.

Shayne sat there quietly stunned at the words he just heard. * Did I hear right?* Allison's pregnant?** A baby?* Is it mine?* Did she cheat on me?* WHAT?* .. was all that ran through Shayne's head at the moment.

"Shayne? Are you ok?" Chloe asked Shayne who hadn't said a word and who had a shocked frozen look on his face.

Shayne broke away from this shocked daze and looked at Chloe.

"Allison's pregnant? " Shayne asked wanting to make sure he heard correctly the first time.

"Yes Shayne, she's pregnant" Chloe said again.

Shayne wasn't sure if he should even have to ask but since they had broken up he needed to make sure, "Is.. it….. mine?" he said while hesitating a bit.

Chloe's expression turned into one of a bit of sadness and aggravation. "How can u even ask that Shayne, of course its yours" she said looking into his face.

Shayne believed her, of course. But now he was angry.

"When was I supposed to find out?" He said kinda mad.

Chloe looked away and said, "You weren't".

Shayne didn't even know what to think at this point. How the hell could Allison keep this from him. Was she crazy? Did she not love him anymore? Did she hate him now or what?!

"Why the hell would she want to keep this from me?" Shayne asked still very confused.

"Because Shayne, she didn't want you to know. I know she's gonna be mad at me for telling you but like I said, I believe you have a right to know"

Shayne began to feel a bit more anger now knowing that Allison was hiding this from him. But still wondered why.

"Why didn't she want me to know?" Shayne still wanted to know. Then it finally hit him that they were in the hospital  "Shit, wait, she's here. Is she ok? Is my baby ok?" Shayne said panicked at the end then a bit shocked at the fact that he had just said 'MY baby'.

Chloe suddenly turned to look at Shayne at the sound of this and felt herself smile.

Shayne knew what he had just said and that Chloe was looking at him then quickly looked down.

"Listen Shayne, I'm gonna leave it to Allison to tell you why and explain all of that. And yes, both Allie and the baby are fine now"

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure exactly what or how it was, but she heard that there was severe flooding in Prague where I'm guessing is where you were at filming…she called me on my cell to tell me and sounded very scared and panicked when she called. I heard her fall and begin to complain of her stomach hurting or something, I quickly ran out of class and got to her house to find her on the floor telling me to help her and her baby. I dialed 911 and we arrived here in an ambulance" As Chloe finished she had tears in her eyes as she went through that whole event over again and how scared both her and Allie were.

Shayne hugged Chloe as watery eyes began to build up in Shayne. They let go and he looked at her.

"So, this was my fault. I should've called to tell her I was coming back and that I was ok. Oh god I could've caused something bad to happen" Shayne said feeling guilty.

"No Shayne, NO, this is NOT your fault, listen, she was close to having a miscarriage but she's fine now, the only thing is that she cant go through any of this again because she is now at a higher risk of losing the baby IF something like this were to happen again, which is one reason why I needed you to be here with her. But please Shayne, trust me its not your fault, I mean, it was over between the two of you and there was no reason why you should have to call her. Lets just both be happy everything's ok." Chloe said.

Shayne couldn't help but to feel a bit at fault for this but Chloe was right. Allison did choose to refuse his proposal and just throw everything away between the two of them. She's the one who crushed his heart and decided to end things "forever".

Shayne looked away then looked back at Chloe…" Can I see her now?" Shayne asked.

"Yeah c'mon…. follow me" Chloe said as she led him to the 3rd floor of the hospital and to room 331 where Allison was in.

Right before he walked in, Shayne looked at Chloe. "Chloe thank you for calling me and letting me know what was going on, Allison is lucky to have a best friend like you who cares about her so much and I'm lucky as well for having you as a friend"

Chloe smiled. "No problem, I know the both of you love each other very much and I just want the both of you to be happy together"

Shayne gave Chloe a hug and Chloe hugged back.

"Well, lets just hope Allie doesn't hate me for telling you… but since you're here now I'm gonna go and I'll be back later."

"Ok, later" Shayne said

"bye" Chloe walked off.…

Shayne walked in and saw Allison sleeping peacefully. He couldn't help but feel upset at the fact that she didn't tell him about the baby and that she made him suffer so much that night at Starcity Park. He walked over to her and stood at her bedside. He noticed through the blankets that her tummy was bigger. Shayne smiled as he gently put his hand on the top of her belly yet felt mixed emotions of fear, shock, confusion and happiness as he knew that there was a part of him in her tummy, there was a baby in there, a life he helped create.

Allison slowly began to wake up. And placed a hand on the side of her belly then smiled to herself to realize everything was ok with her baby his hand no longer on her belly.

"Shayne" Allie surprisingly said as she saw him standing over her. Allison felt relived and very happy  to see Shayne there in the same room with her but at the same time didn't know if she should explain everything or push him away again……..

"Hi Allison" Shayne in a serious tone.       

"Shayne, you're ok, what are you doing here? I thought… but the flooding?" Allie said confused as to how Shayne got there.

"Yes, there was a flood where we were filming so they sent the cast back home until they found a new place to shoot"

"Shayne I was so scared and worried I didn't know if you were okay or not and I panicked and…" Shayne cut off Allie.

"Shh, its ok Allie, I'm fine, I'm here now everything's going to be okay" Shayne said as he held Allie's hand.

Allie took a deep breath. Inside she felt so extremely happy to see Shayne at her side. Allie didn't know if he knew about the baby though. "How did u know I was here?"

"Chloe called me and told me you were here"

Allie began to panic a little she was sure Chloe had told him about the baby.

"Allison, why didn't u tell me you were pregnant? HOW and why would you keep that from me?" Shayne said angrily but not loudly .

Shayne don't be upset" Allie said as she felt her throat tighten up a little.

"Don't be upset?!… Don't be upset?" Shayne said. "How do u expect me to be after I find out that you've been hiding this from me and that you never planned on telling me?" he exclaimed.

"Shayne I did this for your benefit. I kept this from you and left you … for you." Allison said back knowing she somehow didn't make sense.

Shayne was still mad and annoyed at the fact that he had no idea what she was talking about; he thought maybe the drugs had gotten to her. "Allison what the hell are you talking about?… Wait, you knew about this already the day I proposed?" 

"Yes Shayne, that's the day I found out."

"Allie, what's wrong with you, why didn't u tell me?!"

"Shayne, by me not telling you that I was pregnant and breaking up with you, I left you free. I didn't want the baby or myself to be an obstacle in any way of your career, which you've worked so hard for, this way you could go and make your movies and live your star-life without having to worry about or carry along a g/f and a baby. And if that wasn't it then you would've left me when you found out I was pregnant and I wouldn't of been able to live with that." Allison said, now crying.

"Allison I proposed didn't I? Which means that sooner or later we would've had a child. I know we both would've preferred later since we're still young and this is kind of sudden but I would've never left you, on the contrary I would've still been there for you even if you didn't want to get married. You didn't make this baby by yourself its mine too, my responsibility as well." Shayne said lividly.

"Don't be mad, I'm sorry Shayne, I thought I was doing the best thing for you, that was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life" Allie said putting her face on her hands and crying.

"Allie, anything that has to do with me not being with you or the baby isn't the best thing for me… I don't ever want you to think that again." Shayne said as his anger left him and he began to understand that Allison did love him and truly believed it was the best thing for him.

"So you want this baby?" Allie asked looking up into his eyes while her tears stopped.

"Well, yeah, I want OUR baby Allie" Shayne said as he too was placed his hand on her tummy and looked deep into her eyes.

Allie knew he was being honest. At this point she felt so much more guilt and sadness about leaving Shayne that way she did. After everything she put him through and how much of a 'bitch' she was with him, after all that he was still here for her.

"Oh Shayne, I'm so sorry" Allie said as she began to sob. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I never wanted to hurt you like that but I didn't know what else to do ." Allie cried.

Shayne hugged Allison.

"Babe, I love you so much, please forgive me… forgive me for doing what I did to you." Allie said as she was sobbing on his shoulder and hugging him tightly feeling so good to finally be in his arms again.

"Shh, its ok Allie" Shayne said comforting her.

"No it's not Shayne, you shouldn't even want to look at me after what I put you through, I never wanted to hurt you like that but I was scared and I just wanted you to be able to experience your life and opportunities to its fullest." Allie said as she let go of Shayne and looked into his eyes.

Shayne's eyes began to fill up as he also knew it was hard on her too.

"Baby I wouldn't be able to live a good life if I didn't have you in it with me. I love you Allie"

"I love you too, I'm so sorry Shayne, please forgive me." Allie said still crying (wow being pregnant sure made her emotional) as she hugged Shayne tightly.

"Its ok Allie. I forgive you just don't ever do that again ok?" Shayne said in a light mood

"I swear Shayne, I'll never ever hurt you like that ever again. I'm sorry."

"I love you Allison Carter" Shayne said as he kissed her forehead.

"I love you more Shayne Wst" Allie said as they held each other. 

"Shayne, will u please stay here with me?" Allie said as she made room for Shayne on the bed.

"Of course I will" Shayne said as he got on and laid down next to Allie being very careful not to get too close to her belly. Who cared if they were in a hospital! Hehe.

Shayne wrapped his arms around Allie as she nuzzled her face into his neck. How she missed his scent and was glad to be in his arms again, thinking how blessed she was for having Shayne be so understanding. Shayne kissed her forehead then laid his head on the pillow. Before he closed his eyes he felt Allie gently kiss his neck then place her hand on her tummy. Shayne let go of Allie with one arm as he entwined his fingers with hers both placing their hands on Allie's tummy.
