Chapter 17: Surf's up!

AN: Thanks to DarkAngelSuicide and awsum-loser for your suggestions.

"Twist, can I borrow your surfboard?" Reggie asked him one morning.

"What happened to yours?" He replied.

"Burned up in the fire…"

"Oh right…"

"So can I borrow your board?"

"I don't know, Reg."

"Why not?"

"You're pregnant. Do you really think that it's a good idea t be doing an extreme sport?"

"I want to have some fun. I don't want this baby to hold me back."

"But it's going to have to. You can't do the extreme for a while."

"Fine, I get it. I'm going to go for a walk, okay?"

"Alright, have fun."

Reggie left his room and walked out of the house. She stopped as she realized the garage door was open. She went in and grabbed his surfboard, heading towards the beach.

Twister came down stairs 20 minutes later. "Hi Mom, hi Dad," he said.

"Mi hijo," Mrs. Rodriguez told him, "we need to have a talk."

Twister sat down across the table from her. "What about?"

"Your father and I have talked about it and…" She paused.

"And what?"

"We think that you and Reggie shouldn't stay here anymore."

"You're kicking us out?"

"Yes."

"How can you do this to us? Especially now while she's pregnant?"

"That is why we're kicking you out."

"Great, I get it. I'll get our stuff." He stood up and went into his room.

Reggie stepped onto the beach with Twister's surfboard tucked under her arm. She ran into the ocean and started riding the waves.

Twister came onto the beach and set down the suitcases. He looked out into the ocean and noticed Reggie surfing. "Reggie…" He stepped closer to the shore and yelled, "Reggie!"

She looked up and lost her footing on her board. The board slipped out from underneath her and it came back down, hitting her in the stomach. She let out a screech of pain and fell under the water.

Twister jumped into the water and tried to find Reggie. "Reg!" He shouted. He finally grabbed hold of her and swam her back to shore.

Otto and Ray came into the hospital waiting room where Twister was waiting for the doctor. "Where is she?" Otto demanded.

"I don't know, in one of the rooms," Twister replied. "The doctor hasn't come out to tell me what's going on."

"What happened?" Otto asked.

"She was surfing and she wiped-out."

"You let her go surfing?"

"No! She stole my board after I told her not to surf!"

"How did she get your board?"

"She said she was going for a walk and she stole my board."

"You should've kept an eye on her!"

"Why do you have to blame me for everything?"

Otto paused, his eye catching the suitcases. "What's with the luggage?"

Twister looked down to the floor. "We were kicked out. I went to find her and that's when she wiped-out."

Otto opened his mouth to say something but the doctor came out at that moment. "Twister Rodriguez?"

"Yes," Twister replied.

"You were the one that brought in Regina Rocket, correct?"

"Yes."

"She has lost the baby."

Twister froze on the spot. "Um… could I see her?"

"Sure, go on in. Room 504."

He walked out of the waiting room and into room 504. Reggie was lying on the hospital bed, looking shaken to her core. "Hey there," Twister said.

She looked over to him. "Hey," she replied softly.

He sat down on the edge of the bed. "So…"

"I lost the baby…"

"I know."

"It hurts…"

"I bet it does."

"How can you be so calm about this?"

"I'm just trying to keep my cool."

She hugged him. "This sucks."

"Then you don't want to know what is going on at home."

"What?"

"We don't live there anymore."

"What?" She repeated.

"We were kicked out."

"You have to be joking."

"Nope."

"Great…"

"Look, we can get through this."

"How?"

"We just can, I know it."
