Chapter 9
A few hours after David is finally gone, Blair and Starr come home.
"Hey everyone we're home." Langston and Dorian enter form the kitchen.
"Hey how did everything go is everything alright?" The four women enter the living room and sit down.
"Everything is fine. I'm fine, the baby is doing well. I even got to hear the heartbeat. My next appointment is in a month. I get my first ultasound picture. I can't wait. How was everything here?"
"Oh it was fun. Dorian kicked some guy named David Vickers out of the house. It was awesome" Langston says with a smile.
"Wow Dorian, David Vickers was here and you didn't kill him. Sorry I missed that." Blair laughs.
"Hey Langston do you want to go up to my room so that they can talk?" Langston nods. "Ok lets go." Starr kisses her mom and aunt and the two girls walk out of the room and up the stairs. Blair makes sure the girls are out of earshot before she starts to talk.
"Dorian, Starr was really scared tonight. She was worried that she would not be able to raise this baby alone. She wanted to know how she would do it."
"Oh that poor girl did you tell her she will not be alone, that she will have us and that we would not let her do this alone?" Blair nods.
"I don't think she fully believes me. All I know is that my baby is going through this and there is no way to make her feel that she is not alone."
"Blair trust me, if anyone can get Starr to feel like she has someone, Langston can. I mean those two girls have been through so much together. Langston will help her get through this." Blair nods.
-Starr's Room-
"Langston you should have been there. I was really scared at first when I got there. All I could think about was Cole and how much I missed him and how much I wished he could have been there to hear the heartbeat." Langston nods.
"I know how you feel… like when something good happens to me, the first person I want to call is Markko. Then I remember and I feel like my heart is breaking again." Starr hugs Langston.
"It will get better for us, it has to. It can't be this hard all the time." Langston nods.
"All I know is there are days when I still feel the pain of losing my parents and it's been two years since I lost them. But it's getting late, I am going to get to bed and you should do the same. I hear it's good for a mother to get lots of sleep in her first few months and then to get lots the last few but I'm gonna go to bed, night sweetie." Langston gives Starr a hug and goes to bed.
