Chapter 5: Visiting hours
It was the next morning and I was up early to go to the hospital before everyone else. I had to talk to Aria myself, and alone. I was in the car now on my way. I just saw her family drive by which means Ezra is probably in there. I walked up to the desk when I got there and got a sticker.
"Oh hey" she said. She was in the bed, tiny and frail as it looked. Aria was never stick skinny, but she wasn't any kind of fat. She was the first one in our grade who needed a bra.
"Hey..." I said quietly. I saw ezra in the corner asleep. I took out her phone and looked at her about to cry. God I hate being emotional!
"Oh spence.." she said. I hugged her and cried.
"Do not blame yourself Spencer..it was my choice to go, and it was because I see how happy you are now with the baby...i haven't seen you this happy in a long time Spence...plus that's my niece...there is no way i'm going to let some bitch hurt her or you."
"You could have died"
"But I didn't and you guys are safe. That's all that matters."
she wiped my tears and I wiped hers and we laughed a little.
"What were you thinking going to that cliff with the girls!" she said.
"I acted on instinct!"
We started laughing and we heard Ezra stir.
"Oh hey Spencer" he said.
"Sorry for waking you. You know if you want to go to your apartment and sleep, I can sit here for awhile" I said.
"Yea babe...why don't you go and sleep"
"No i'm just going to the cafeteria. Spencer what do you want to eat? And don't say anything, because it's only 7 am and I can guarantee you haven't eaten" he said. Aria and I laughed.
"I'll have a muffin" I said.
"You got it" he said and walked out.
"Hes so good for you Aria"
"Yea...he's amazing. Him and my mom slept by my side all night"
"Your dad told us to leave"
"He said because he saw your feet swelling"
"I could have sat with my feet up longer"
"Spence...all of us care about you, and our parents have been through it. Listen to them please"
"Fine" I said.
I felt the baby kicking my ribs and I grabbed Aria's hand. None of them have really felt her kicks yet since she started kicking harder.
"That is so weird..." she said. I laughed.
"I mean...weird in a good way!" she added.
Later on that day the girls came in with baby name books.
"We're choosing one today! I'm tired of calling her Mini me" Hanna said.
"She will not be a mini you...even I won't have the money for that shopping bill" I said.
"Spencer, you sit on this" Ezra finally said about the recliner.
"No Ezra, you need it to rest. I'm fine"
He looked at Aria. Than all of the girls looked at me.
"Fine!"
I sat in the recliner looking at a book.
"What about Marley" Emily said.
"Like the dog?" Hanna said.
"Or not..."
"Carly?" Aria said.
"No...too girly! I want a boyish name!"
"I found it!" I said.
"What?" all of them said.
"Meyson! But spelle N"
"That's weird" Hanna said.
"But I love it!"
"Meyson Emily Aria Hanna Hastings.." Aria said. I looked at her.
"It was a joke!" she said. All of us started laughing.
"What about Meyson Rayne Hastings" I said.
"I like it"
"Me too" all of them agreed.
"Finally we have a name" Hanna said.
"Now she just needs to make her grand entrance" Emily said.
