"Ok let's go talk to daddy," Tess said as she put one hand on her stomach. "Great, I'm talking to someone who can't answer me back. Hey you, you never tell anyone about this, got it?" Tess said to her unborn baby as she left the hosptial. She quickly went to the train station on her way back to NY, back to her unborn baby's father, back to Nash.
Tess arrived back in NY. As she got out of the cab and paid the driver, she then went to the buzzer to the apartment building. She hoped Nash would let her come up and they could talk about everything. Just as her finger was about to press down on the button, the door behind her swung open, "Hey," Fred said.
"Hi, I'm just here to talk to Nash," Tess said.
"Come in," Fred said as he held the door open to the building letting Tess in. "Thanks, so how is he doing?" Tess asked.
"He's upset and hurt, but hopefully once he cools down, he'll realize you are the best thing to happen to him," Fred said.
"I never meant to lie to him. I just didn't know how to tell him about everything," Tess said beginning to feel a little weak. "Hey, are you ok?" Fred asked noticing her going white. "Yeah, just give me a minute," Tess said.
"Maybe, I should take you to see a doctor, or at least to a clinic and get you checked out," Fred said. "I'm ok," Tess said.
"Have you eaten anything, oh, but that might make you more sick," Fred said. "Wait, you know?" Tess asked.
"About your baby, yeah the doc let it slip accidently," Fred said. "Does Nash know?" Tess said. "No, that should come from you," Fred said.
"Yeah, I better go see him now," Tess said as she went to the elevators. "Need me to wait around?" Fred asked. "No, that's not necessary, he'll listen to me," Tess said.
"Oh, don't bank on it," Fred said as the doors closed and Tess went up to the 6th floor. She got out of the elevators and turned the corner which led to Nash's apartment. She saw the door was partially opened. She paused and brushed her hands through her hair and just as she was about to knock, she heard Nash talking. "I know I've stayed away too long, but I promise, sweetheart, I'll come visit soon," Nash said. Tess stood there in shock. She couldn't believe Nash had someone else. "I just got distracted up in New York, but that's over with now and I'm leaving in a day or two," Nash said.
Tess turned and ran to the elevators but that was taking too long so she took the stairs and as soon as she went down one flight she sat down and started to cry. "A disctraction is all that I was?" Tess asked herself. "How could you say that Nash, I'm in love with you!" Tess said to an empty staircase.
"Well, I guessed that's decided then," Tess said as she got out her cellphone and dialed a number. "It's me, can you forward me some money?" Tess asked the person on the phone. "I need it for the clinic. Yes, I thought this through. How can I keep this baby with a mother like me and a father who doesn't want anything to do with me or this kid? Just send the money!" Tess said as she finished her conversation and headed down the rest of the stairs. As she exited the apartment building, she saw Fred standing there by his car, the same car she had stole from Nash. "What are you doing here?" Tess asked.
"Just making sure you were ok, so he didn't listen?" Fred asked.
"No, he didn't listen. He wants nothing to do with me," Tess said.
"I'm sorry Tess. Uh, what about the baby?" Fred asked.
"He doesn't want anything to do with it either. Could you give me a lift to a clinic?" Tess asked.
"You're going to get rid of it?" Fred asked. "Yeah, it's over, for all of us," Tess said as Fred walked up to her and hugged her and took her to his car and drove off.
