Chapter 4:
WITH JEN AND JUDE
JUDES POINT OF VIEW:
I couldn't believe I was going to be a father! I was driving Jen and me home.
"Jude, there's another secret I have to tell you," Jen said.
"What?" I asked her.
"My parents are coming over this evening." Jen said, bitting her lip.
"WHAT?" I cried, almost going through a red light.
"You know your parents abuse you!" I cried out to her, "and they don't like me, either. They avoid all contact with you after you married me!"
"yeah, well, they need a place to stay for the night. Just one night." Jen said, who sounded like she was trying to convince herself.
"Your a daddy now," Jen teased me. "You have be a big boy, now."
I smiled. "He's not going to lay a finger on you!"
We gave a short little kiss, as we drove into our drive way.
"Oh, no!" I cried. "You're parents are here! I can tell by their old station wagon!"
We got out of the car, as her parents were just standing on our doorstep.
"Hey mom, hey dad," Jen said.
"Hi Mrs.Masison and Mr.Masison!" I said, trying not to be rude.
"You left us standing here," Mrs.Masison said, icnoring the welcome.
"Sorry, mom, I was just talking to Jude..." She tried to explain, but then hermom introupted her.
"You're still married to him?" She cried out.
"And, my God, have you gotten fat?" Her dad cried out.
"No, mom. I'm pregnant." Jen said, smiling.
Her parents looked like they've been hit by a truck.
We all walked into our house, as they threw their suitcases to me, as I pushed them off to the side.
"Look, it late, mom and dad," Jen said, yawning. "Let's go to bed."
I pulled out a air mattress, gave them blankets, as I walked Jen and myself to our room. We both layed beside each other, both not able to sleep.
"Your parents are monsters!" I cried out.
"I know," Jen cried. "What are we going to do?"
"Nothing, I guess." I replied.
"I have to washroom. Be right back," Jen said, stepping out of bed.
It took about one minute, and then I heard her scream. I quickly ran out of our room, as I saw Jen running from her dad.
"This is what you get for marrying that guy!" He screamed at her.
He had a belt buckle in his hand.
And then, it happened. Jen was running, looking back, and she didn't see the staircase, as she fell down the stairs.
"JEN!" I cried out.
Jen moaned, as she was on the floor, bleeding.
"CALL THE HOSPITAL!' I yelled.

AT THE HOSPITAL:
JUDE'S POINT OF VIEW:
The doctor approched me. He wanted to see Jen alone, and do some tests.
"You can see your wife, now." He told me.
Her mom and father didn't bother to come. How rude they are!
I went into her room, as I sat beside her.
"I lost the baby, Jude..." she cried. I lost our baby.
She threw herself into my arms, as we both cried.
The baby we had...now gone.
