Chapter 31

Hailey crossed her arms over her chest and smirked at her mom. Joanne looked at Hailey's stomach noticing that it was flat again. "Is that…is that." She began. "Yes mom, that's your granddaughter." Hailey interrupted. "Oh." She replied quietly. "I guess you can come in and see her." Hailey said and walked back inside leaving the door open for Joanne to come in. Joanne followed Hailey to the lounge room where Mark had little Alicia in his arms. Joanne put her hands over her mouth in shock as she saw her granddaughter. Hailey took Alicia from Mark's arms and Mark stood up. Hailey walked over to Joanne and held Alicia out to her. Joanne took her into her arms and looked at the little bundle of joy, her eyes closed. She let out a little yawn. "What's her name?" Joanne managed to get out. Still overcome with shock and emotion. "Alicia." Mark said wrapping his arms around Hailey. "She's beautiful isn't she mom?" Hailey said biting her lip. Joanne looked at Hailey. "And to think that you wanted to kill her!" Hailey spat and bust into tears running upstairs. Alicia started to cry. "Hey, Hey now." Mark said taking Alicia from Joanne and rocking her. "Err uh Mark I came here to give Hailey this." Joanne said reaching into her handbag and pulling out a piece of paper. Mark took it from her and looked at it curiously. "Houston High Junior Prom." He read out. "Yes. Her prom is going to be held in about a month from now." Joanne explained. "Really?" Mark asked blunt. "Err yes." Joanne replied. "Ok, well you go now." Mark smirked. "Ok." Joanne said. "Yeah, show yourself out." Mark said and started to head upstairs. Joanne walked over to the front door and closed it on her way out.

"Hailey hunny?" Mark called out walking down the corridor. He heard her crying from their bedroom. He put Alicia in her crib and walked into their bedroom. "Hey, come on Hail's. There's no need to be crying." He said sitting down next to her on the bed. "Mark she doesn't even care!" Hailey said. "What ya mean?" he asked, picking her up and sitting her on his lap. "You know, all she said was 'Oh is that my granddaughter?' 'Oh what's her name?' No emotion." Hailey said wiping her eyes. "Hailey she was shocked that's for sure." Mark said rubbing her back. "Anyway she came here to give you this." Mark said giving Hailey the piece of paper. Hailey looked at it. "Shit! My prom!" She gasped. Mark raised his eyebrows at her. "I totally forgot about it." She said. "Really? You knew about it?" He asked. "Yes, but with me being pregnant with Alicia and the whole trial thing, I've totally forgotten about it." She explained. "Well are you gonna go?" He asked lying down on his back. "I don't know." She said. "Hailey you gotta go." Mark said. Hailey bit her lip thinking. "I remember my senior prom. It was fun. I remember when me and my friends all got drunk and I made out with the head cheerleader in the back of my car…." Mark said looking at Hailey who had her eyebrows raised. "Oh forget that bit." He said. Hailey giggled. "I guess I should go, but won't it feel weird, you turning up at a place full of teenagers?" Hailey asked. "Yeah, well then go with Simon." Mark suggested. "He's going with Brooke." Hailey replied. "Oh ok. Do you want me to come?" Mark asked. "What? Of course!" Hailey said and leaned down and kissed him on the lips. "Then I'll come then." Mark said. "You will?" Hailey said. "Yeah, I mean I don't care, just as long as you're comfortable with me being there." Mark said. "Of course I am." Hailey smiled. "Right we'll go down to the shops to get you a dress. And if you rock up to your prom feeling that you won't need me there that's good. But if you want me to stay with you I will ok?" He explained. "Ok." She smiled.

"Right well, we better go down and get you a dress then." Mark said getting up. Hailey jumped up. "Yay!" She said.

They went down to the shopping mall and Hailey looked in all the dress stores. She found a nice light purple dress with spaghetti straps with glitter on it. She tried it on. "What do you think?" She asked Mark when she came out of the change rooms. "Very nice." He replied. "Yeah?" She said looking at herself in the mirror. "How much is it?" He asked her. Hailey looked at the price tag and bit her lip. "How much is it Hailey?" He asked her again. "500 dollars." She said quietly. "Really?" He replied. "It's ok, I'll find something cheaper." She said. "No wait; you liked this dress the best didn't you?" He asked her. "Yeah." She said. "Then I'll get you this one then." He said getting out his cheque book from his back pocket. A sale's woman came over to them. "Can I help you?" She asked them. "We'll just take this dress here that she's wearing." Mark said handing her his cheque book. "Certainly sir." She smiled and took the cheque book from Mark and walked over to the front checkout. "Mark it's too expensive!" Hailey spat. "Hailey I don't care. You were happy with this one." Mark said. "So?" She said. "Hailey you have been through a hell of a lot in the past year. The girls at school being bitchy to you; me being a shithead; me getting you pregnant; the whole trial thing, and you in a hospital for 3 hours in pain giving birth to my daughter. Hailey I'm buying you the dress. End of story." He said. "Thank you, I love you." She smiled. "I love you too sweetheart; I'll do anything to see that beautiful smile on your face." He said. She giggled and leaned up to kiss him. "Err excuse me here's your cheque book back sir." The woman said handing Mark back his book. "Thanks." He smiled. "Go take the dress off when you're ready and I'll put it in a bag for you." She smiled at Hailey. "Ok, thank you." She said. The woman walked off. "Go take that dress off, and we'll go home and have some fun." He chuckled. "Oh what fun do you have in mind Mark?" Hailey smirked. "You'll have to find out." He replied. "How's little Alicia?" Hailey asked looking at her daughter sleeping in the carrier that Mark had next to his feet. "She's fine." He smiled. Hailey walked back into the change rooms to get changed again. She couldn't wait for this so called 'fun' she was gonna have with Mark later on.
