Tim's Baby Girl Chapter 4.
The morning sickness had not eased up and tensions still ran high in both households. Noah was trying to be there as much as he could but he felt like he was failing everyone. On this particular morning Noah awoke particularly early and decided to see if he could help at the Riggins' household.
He knocked on the door and could hear yelling. The door was swung open and Billy Riggins appeared. The surprise on both faces spoke volumes about what they thought of each other. 'What are you doing here?' Billy spat at Noah. 'I was just about to ask you the same thing. Well I thought I might come and help Chloe before school, you know see if she needs anything.' Noah wondered how often Billy was here at this time and then he as he was let in saw that the couch looked slept on and Mindy was making breakfast in the kitchen. Tim and Chloe were currently unspoken for. 'She's puking her guts up in the bathroom and you know someone has to support her, help her. Like usual that position has been left to her father. Knock and tell who you are before you go in there or you will be sorry.' Billy obviously didn't like Noah and had no problem saying it. Noah wandered down the hall and was greeted by the sounds of dry retching sobbing. He knocked and Tim yelled back that he could come in. He was not ready for the scene that he saw. His girlfriend, the mother of his child looked so weak and fragile. Tim had a cool wash cloth on her forehead and neck and was rubbing her back up and down. Noah was not expecting this, when he picked her up for school, she was so put together.
Her hair was matted and her face pale. She was sobbing and groaning but at this moment Noah had never loved her more. He dropped to his knees beside her and began to rub her ailing stomach grinning on the inside when he could feel that the home that held his child had grown quite a bit since he had last checked. Tim whispered into his ear, 'This is exactly what she needed, thanks kid.' Noah was glad that at the time Tim actually appreciated that he was trying. He pulled Chloe slowly onto his lap and began to caress her in a loving way. He had missed being close to her and relished in the fact that he was so close to her.
After about 20 minutes, Chloe began to feel better and got up off the bathroom floor. She her face and brushed her hair. Doing those small actions completely transformed her but Noah didn't care because he was so in love with her. He waited for her to get dressed and walked back down the hall to where breakfast was being made. Mindy and Billy glared at him because of the similarity of the situation their own daughter had been in the only difference was that their daughter lost her baby at 20 weeks and was completely destroyed. She was currently in a rehabilitation centre for mothers of dead children after trying to kill herself.
Everyone brightened when Chloe came in. The glow came back to Tim's face which always seemed to disappear whenever he wasn't with his daughter. She had the pregnancy everyone talked about but Noah had never seen before this. Billy, Mindy and Tim spoke among themselves while Chloe and Noah was glad to see she ate way more than he'd ever seen. She packed the lunch that her father made for her everyday and kissed his forehead and told him she loved him. She said goodbye to her aunt and uncle before heading to the car. Noah himself was on the way but was called back by Tim. 'Hey Noah, thanks for stepping up. She really wants you to be there and is kinda tired of her dad saying he loves her when she really wants her boyfriend to so anyway come over whenever. There's always room for you here. Please do not mention the baby bump at any point unless it's a doctor appointment. Got it?' Noah nodded quickly surprised at how Tim's mood could change rapidly. Billy's glare softened as he went out the door and Noah felt for the first time since the pregnancy was announced that he might be doing the right thing.
She sat in the passenger seat and beamed at him when he came into her eyesight. She was a different girl after he said that he loved her and it was a welcome change. When Noah reached the car, he was practically attacked by Chloe's lips and immediately returned the loving gesture. He held firmly onto her hand the entire time only occasionally letting go to rub her growing belly. He worried that he was breaking Tim's rule but Chloe's face brightened whenever he had his fingers near her belly. He ran around to open her door and pulled her in for a long hug. This was the contact he'd been missing. He couldn't care about the sex but not being able to hug her was killing him. They walked towards their lockers, disregarding the stares and whispering. When the couple arrived at Chloe's locker, Noah saw red. Spray painted all over it were the word's "THE WHORE IS PREGNANT!"
At that point, nothing mattered more than his family and finding the bastard who wrote it and putting him in an early grave.
