Ch.5
As he walked through the store, carrying the car seats, looking for clothes and things for the 3-day-old babies, he saw all the things that they had already gotten for their daughters. He saw the crib, the matching changing table, small dresser, and rocking chair. After walking around for about 20 minutes, he went back, and had gotten a cart. He had picked up everything that he had needed to get. He had gotten the two bassinets that she had liked, but didn't get that day. They were both white on the outside. One had a pink mattress, with a light pink blanket and small white pillow. The other had a purple mattress, with a light purple blanket and a small white pillow. He then bought about 10 different outfits, 10 pairs of shoes, 8 hats, 4 packages of small socks, 10 packages of diapers, and 10 packages of wipes. He had also gotten 15 cans of formula, 2 packages of 10 bottles, two different sizes, 6 baby bath towels, burping clothes, baby wash clothes, a baby tub, and a large white diaper bag. When he had finally paid for everything, it had come near $1,000. Luckily, he had brought enough money. As he had started walking out of the store, he had a feeling that someone was watching him. When he turned around, he saw six people standing there, staring at him. He looked at them for a second, before turning back around and walking out. They followed Chris out and saw him putting everything into the car. They stood there, staring at him. He felt their eyes on him, and tried his best not to look back. After getting everything in, he carefully put his two sleeping baby girls back into the car. When he turned around, he came almost face to face with them.
"Chris?" one asked. He felt the tears coming to his eyes, but didn't let them fall. He just stared at her, at them all.
"Chris?" she asked again.
"What do you want?" he asked, trying not to break down.
"How have you and Bianca been?" she asked. They all saw the tears back rush to his eyes when she said that name.
"Why do you care? If you did you wouldn't have kicked me out of the house when she said she was pregnant and you wouldn't have let Leo say those two things to me," he replied. She stood there, staring at him.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"Don't bother. I don't need your apologizes. I need to get home to take care of my babies," Chris responded. He tried not to collapse into her arms and cry and tell her about Bianca and that he couldn't do this on his own. But, he couldn't. He had to stay strong for his daughters. He looked at them once more, before getting in, and leaving. As he pulled out, he saw his mother cry in his two aunts arms as Melissa, Nicole, and Melinda tried their best to comfort their Aunt and mother.
