Chapter 26

"Fine." Her mum said sighing. "So how are you feeling?" Her mom asked her. Hailey crossed her arms over her chest and started to chuckled. "Real great question, since you dumped me on the streets not giving a damn, I've been ok until now." She said. "Hailey we did it for your own good!" Her mom explained. "Really? Well to me it seems like it's for your own interest and not mine." Hailey said. "Oh I don't think so Hailey, now get dressed I'm taking you somewhere." Her mom snapped. "No, leave me alone!" Hailey yelled. "Get in the car now Hailey!" Her mom yelled. Hailey sighed, what difference was it gonna make, there was not point arguing with her. She walked over and hopped into the car.

After about a 10 minute drive from Mark's home her mom pulled up into the hospital. Hailey looked confused but didn't say anything. Her mom drove into a parking space and turned the engine off. She hopped out of the car. "Come on Hailey, out please." Her mom demanded. Hailey sighed and hopped out. They walked into the waiting room, her mom told her to go sit down as she went to the reception. Hailey picked up a magazine from the coffee table and started to read it. After a few minutes a woman walked out to the waiting room "Hailey Jones please." She called out to the people waiting there. Hailey looked up from her magazine, and saw her mom standing there with the woman. "Hailey get up, and follow us please." Her mom ordered. Hailey frowned and put the magazine back on the table and got up and followed them down the hall into a doctor's room.

The woman shut the door and told Hailey to take a seat on the bed they had there. "So Hailey is it?" she asked her. "Yes." Hailey said confused. "I'm Doctor McCarthy, how are you feeling?" She asked placing her hand on Hailey's forehead. "I don't know, mom what are we doing here?" Hailey said sitting up. "You haven't told her yet about the abortion we're going to do?" The doctor asked looking at her mom. "What abortion?" Hailey said quickly. "Hailey, I told you that we're gonna get rid of this baby." Her mom said. "What no!" Hailey gasped. "It's ok dear to feel a bit shocked but it will all be over soon, how far along is she?" The doctor smiled. "About 4 months." Her mom replied. "Wait no! This is my baby, and I'm not going to kill it!" Hailey yelped. "Oh Hailey, please just let the doctor do her thing please!" Her mom yelled at her. "No, this is my baby, don't I get a say in this!" Hailey yelled back at her. "Err; we have counselors here if you need any help with this situation." The doctor said to them. "No, it's a long story; we have lawyers instead to handle this." Her mom smiled at the doctor. Hailey bit her lip as she saw the doctor preparing the series of injections for her. Joanne's cell phone started ringing. "Oh, excuse me for one moment." She smiled at the doctor as she exited the room. The doctor smiled and continued what she was doing. Hailey started breathing heavily again, she heard her mom talking outside in the background. She thought it may be to her dad about Mark or something but she couldn't really pick up on it. Her thoughts were disrupted by the doctor. "Ok dear, just lye down here on the bed, this won't hurt too much." She smiled at Hailey. The doctor untied Hailey's dressing gown and pulled her top half way up. Hailey gulped and lied down, she started to panic when she saw one of the needles the doctor had in her hand was inches away from her stomach. Tears rolled down her cheeks as this was Mark's baby too. It maybe could be all she has left to remind herself of him if he is sent to jail, she knew how much he wanted this baby, and damn it she wanted this one too! She screamed and flicked the needle out of the doctors' hand. The doctor gasped in shock as Hailey ran out of the room. Her mom was outside the door and saw Hailey. "Hailey, what are you doing?" She yelled at her. Hailey ran past all the people in the waiting room to outside.

She stopped and leaned against a wall and burst into tears. Her mom came out and saw her. "What is wrong with you? Do you know much to cost to have abortions?" Her mom yelled at her. "I don't care!" She screamed back at her. "Oh Hailey, you could have been lucky, a lot of parents would have just made their daughters have their babies." Her mom explained. "Well maybe that is what I want mom!" She replied. "Oh of course its not!" Her mom yelled back. "Maybe not for you, but I love this baby and I love Mark!" Hailey yelled. "Oh for Christ sakes Hailey, you do not know what love is!" Her mom yelled at her. "No you don't know what love is! I never see dad show you any affection like Mark does to me!" She yelled at her. Her mom looked at her confused. "He doesn't kiss you, or hug you, or tell you that you're beautiful, he probably doesn't even tell you that he loves you!" Hailey yelled at her. "What that is not true!" Her mom yelled at her. "Whatever." Hailey sighed and started to walk away. "Hailey, I just got off the phone with your father and he told me that you're not allowed anywhere near Mark for the time being, and this court date is in 4 months!" Her mom explained. 'What? I can't see Mark for 4 months? Our baby will be almost due!" Hailey gasped shocked. "Well it's not my problem as you could have had this problem solved but you chose not to so deal with it!" her mom yelled and hopped into her car and drove off. Hailey sat down on the ground and burst into tears. I can't see Mark for 4 months! Just when things couldn't get any worse for me they did. She thought.
