Here is the second chapter of my fic. First off, as you may have notice the fic does not have a title yet. I have a few ideas but what do you think the fic should be called? Another thing is that I know that it has been said that Trina was going to abort the baby in the second season and that would cause the Decker marriage to crumble. I have an idea of where I am going to take this fic and I am not sure if I am going to go that route. I have been trying to do research by watching the first season of Swingtown over again, to see if I can pick up any more ideas. I am also going to try and watch interviews, Paley fest etc. If you have any ideas let me know. Enjoy the chapter and remember: review, review, review
Chapter Two: Visiting Susan
Susan roamed around her house trying to find anything that was out of place. Her children constantly threw their things all over, BJ threw his shirts all over the place, on the couch, on the floor and Laurie never cleaned her room. Susan knew that they should have cleaned up their own messes; they were old enough after all. Susan needed something to keep her occupied while her husband was at work. Maybe she should get a job. Her cleaning was interrupted by a knocking on her door. She opened the door and was met by Trina "Hello Susan, I was just wondering if you had some time to talk." Susan opened the door further "Come on in Trina, I was just cleaning around the house so please excuse the mess."
Trina walked into the house and tried to observe what a house would look like with kids in it. She saw some shirts and a pair of shoes, to tell you the truth Trina would not have known Susan had children because she kept the house so clean. Trina sat in the kitchen while Susan grabbed two glasses and filled them with water. "So Trina, what did you want to talk about?" Trina remained silent. She was contemplating if she should even say it. "Do you remember the labor day party?" Susan nodded. "I told Tom that night that I was pregnant." Susan took Trina's hands in hers, "I am so proud of you Trina, what did Tom say?" Trina sat back in her chair, "He was thrilled. He really surprised me. We had the talk about children when we first got married and we decided that we were happy with just the two of us. But this morning Tom told me he wants me to keep it. He was so happy…he was kissing my belly and everything." Trina blushed when she thought back on her morning. Susan smiled "that is great news Trina, see I told you everything would be alright." Trina felt herself tense "Susan, I'm still not going to keep it. No matter what Tom says we are not meant to be parents. Children should not raise children, or so they say. I would be a terrible mother, I know nothing about parenting. I'm also afraid that this will drive a wedge between Tom and I. He has cheated before. I don't want this baby to drive us apart. I didn't want to talk to Janet because I knew that she would be so angry with me. You are more open minded and I know that you would understand where I'm coming from." Trina tried to read Susan's face, but she didn't anything except shift in her seat and took a sip from her glass. "Trina, I was 18 when I gave birth to Laurie. I met Bruce when we were in high school and I fell madly in love with him. We…we just weren't careful. Here I was, a seventeen year old high school girl with her future ahead of her and I made a silly mistake and got pregnant. I juggled with the option of not keeping her, but you know what stopped me? I loved my baby; I loved my baby with all my heart. I knew Bruce and I weren't ready to be parents but we were going to try. I knew I made the right decision when they handed Laurie to me for the first time. She was so beautiful and she was mine. I actually started crying. Trina, I know this is a surprise for you, but everything is going to be okay. Tom loves you so much; I even see it in the way he looks at you. You two are going to make wonderful parents. I'll be here if you need me for anything." Trina got up and pulled her into a hug.
As she placed her head on Susan's shoulder she felt tears begin to fill her eyes. She just realized up until that moment, she had thought of her pregnancy as a physical condition that her baby wasn't anything but a mass of cells. She realized that she was actually carrying someone; she was carrying a little boy or girl. The baby would soon have eyes, a heart and hair. Trina felt her heart flutter at the thought. She hoped the baby would have Tom's eyes. Trina moved to look at Susan. "Thank you Susan, I am so happy that I talked to you, I feel so much better." Susan smiled at her friend "like I said before, I am so proud of you Trina." She smiled. Trina stayed and talked with Susan until BJ came home from school. They talked about pregnancy, baby care and even cooking. As Trina made her way to the door she gave Susan another hug. "I'm always here if you need anything Trina" Trina gave a warm smile "Thank you Susan." Trina went to walk out of the door. "Trina?" she turned back to face her "What is….?" Susan pointed to the dark purple mark that graced the base of Trina's neck. Trina blushed when she realized what she was referring to. After Tom and Trina finished making love that morning, Trina stood before her full length mirror. He had marked her a few times on the base of her neck, on both of her breasts and even within the insides of her thighs. Before she went to Susan house she was sure that she covered the ones that could be seen, but she obviously missed one. "Well…" Trina began "Tom and I had a wonderful morning. He surprised me with breakfast in bed." Susan nodded and smiled "That is wonderful Trina." Trina's red lips formed into a sly smirk "That led to a…" She was trying to find the proper word "...unbelievable lovemaking session, I guess he got a little rough with me." Trina let out a small chuckle "but, you know what, I enjoyed every minute of it." Her black eyelashes fluttered as she winked at Susan and made her way down the pathway.
