Lily
I knocked on Bridget's door and walked in. James wasn't home.
"Bridget…what happened?" I asked the crying girl.
"Lily, please don't be mad." I begged
"Why would I be mad?" I asked, sitting down on the couch.
"I'm pregnant' she said through the tears.
"Oh my god."
"What am I gonna do?" she asked me.
"Well….I don't know." I told her truthfully.
"I can't be pregnant Lily! I just can't" she cried "And James just walked out when I told him!"
"Maybe he just needs to clear his head." I told her
James
"Mom!" I yelled throughout the house. I finally found my parents on the back deck.
"Hi baby." My mom said "What's wrong?"
I sat down next to her and put my head in my hands. She just stroked my back.
"It's Bridget." I told her.
"What about Bridget?" Dad asked
"She's….." I couldn't finish the sentence.
The next thing I know, my face was burning and my mom was crying, I could see the hurt in her eyes.
I know she didn't mean to slap me, but I guess I deserved it
"How the hell could you!" she screamed "Have you learned anything!"
Dad walked over and put his arms around her, but she broke away.
"You did it!" I yelled back
"And do you know how damn hard that was?" she asked, a little bit calmer "I threw my dreams away for you. I don't regret that James, I don't. But I don't want Bridget to lose her dreams."
Dad asked me to go into the house while they talked.
Haley
I didn't mean to hit him, I was just so mad. I was so upset.
"What are we gonna do Nathan?" I asked, crawling into his arms
"We have to be there for him." He told me "We have to support him, even though it wasn't right in the first place."
"Why would he do the same thing we did?" I asked
"I don't know Hales, but he did. And we need to help him through it.' Nathan said, kissing my forehead.
Bridget
I went home and crawled into bed, hands on my stomach.
I heard the door open a long time later, I don't know how long.
James walked in quietly and put something on the nightstand next to me, but I didn't budge. After he lied down and I was sure he was asleep, I opened my eyes and sat up, looking at what was on the nightstand.
I say the bag and took it in the living room, sitting on the couch.
When I opened the bag, there was a beautiful baby blanket in it. Then I saw the note.
Bridget,
I'm so sorry about before, but I was so scared when you told me that we were pregnant. Now, I'm not gonna lie, I'm still scared to death, but then I think of us…as a family. You are gonna be such a great mom, I just know it. It's all gonna work out baby, I promise. This baby is gonna have the best life in the world, I just know it. Come meet me in bed, I love you.
Until the end of time, James.
Bridget took a deep breath and wiped her eyes. She walked into the bedroom, the baby blanket still in her hands.
