Chapter 7: Kidnapped
The next morning and Irma woke up to an angry father. "Irma." Her father yelled. "Why didn't I know about Will being pregnant?"
"Maybe because it wasn't any of your business to know. I'm surprised that Will's mother didn't tell you." Irma shot back.
"It is my business to know and with the way that her mother was acting, I'm not surprised that she didn't tell me. She was too freaked out about her daughter being gone." Her father said calmly. "If she would have been hurt, her baby would have most likely been hurt too. You can't keep secrets like this from people when this type of thing happens."
"Don't you get it dad, it wouldn't have mattered because she would never have gone home. The girls and I tried over and over again to get her to go home. We did what we could but she wasn't willing to budge. We already practically lost our friendship with her because we pushed her, if we had brought you in, she would have killed us. Then there was Matt who was with her the whole time. Dad, don't talk about this anymore because it's none of your business and she is back. We did all we could." Then Irma ran back up the stairs.
Will left the hospital a few days later and finally went home to be with her mother. Will had decided to make it a surprise and had her friends help her home instead of her mother who didn't know when she would be coming home or if she would. Will opened the door to her mother's apartment and quietly walked in and sat down on the couch. She thanked her friends for the help and watched as they left. Susan came into the room and found Will sitting on the couch with a small child in her arms. Her eyes grew watery and she ran over and hugged Will. "Will, oh Will. Why did you leave Will, you had me worried sick about you." Susan said with tears rolling down her cheeks. Susan then let go.
"You wouldn't talk to me mom. After I told you, you wouldn't say anything to me. I thought that you were so angry with me that you wouldn't talk to me." Will said as she bounced her small child a little.
"I would never not talk to you Will. It's just that, I had no idea what to say to you. I should have said something but I wasn't sure as to what. I guess that I was fearful that I might lose my temper after I said I wouldn't which was part of the problem. Can you forgive me Will?" Will nodded. "Tell me something" Susan paused for a second and then continued. "Are you going to put her up for adoption?"
Will looked up at her mother angrily. "I knew it, this is part of the reason I left mom; I knew you wouldn't let me keep her. I can take care of her so you don't have to worry about her." Will looked away from her mother angrily.
Susan gave a small chuckle and then put a hand on Will's shoulder. "I know that Will and I didn't expect you to give her up. I just wanted to know what your plans are, that's all. I'm not going to do anything to push you away again." Susan paused for a second and then sat down next to Will. "What's her name Will?"
Will looked at her daughter and smiled. "Alexandra but Alex for short." Will said with a smile.
"I said that same thing about you Will." Susan stood up off the couch. "Come on Will, I want to show you something." Susan helped Will up and took her to her room. Susan opened the door. Will went wide eyed when she saw her room. Her room had been cleaned and on the right side of the room sits a crib. "I thought that you might want to be near her when she wakes up and besides, it's not like there is a lot of room anywhere else. This just means that you'll have to keep your room clean." Susan said putting her hands behind her back.
Will caught onto to this. "You're sneaky you know that." Will said putting Alex in her new crib.
"It comes with being your mother." The two then started laughing. After a few seconds, Susan spoke up again. "I have to go to go get some things now, I'll be back as soon as possible." Susan then kissed Wills forehead and left.
Will sat on her bed and smiled at the thought of being a mother. For the longest time, Will stood over the crib watching her baby sleep peacefully. 'This must be how mom felt when I was born.' Will thought as she wrapped her arms around her shoulders and smiled rubbing her arms up and down. Then the doorbell rang and ruined her mood. Will walked out of her room and answered the door. She opened it to find Matt standing there. "What do you want?"
Matt stood there trying to get his words in order. "Will, I'm sorry about leaving you in the apartment alone. I" Matt started but was cut off by an angry Will.
"Matt, you left me in the apartment alone and then I went into labor. I had nobody there Matt and so I had to call Taranee so that she could come get me. I didn't even talk to her though but because she knew it was me, she made it over. If you're wondering why I didn't say anything to her, I was screaming. You left me Matt and now all you can say is sorry." Will said going into tears.
"I was tired and upset ok. I took care of you for months Will and it took its toll on me." Matt said
"I never asked you to take care of me Matt but you offered to help. I could have done fine by myself but you decided to help and the one time I really need you and you aren't there. Do you get how painful that is for me?" Will yelled in a whisper not wanting to wake up Alex.
"Why are you whispering Will?" Matt asked confused.
"I don't want to wake up Alex. My daughters asleep right now." Will said angrily.
"Oh." Matt rubbed the back of his neck. "That's the other reason I'm here, I would like to see my daughter."
"No Matt, I'm not letting you into this house. So you can leave right now." Will then pushed Matt out of the doorway and closed the door. She leaned against the door and slid down with tears rolling down her face. After a few seconds on the floor and Will heard a crash and she ran into her room and found the crib empty.
