One Sweet Day

Andre

I was at the courthouse with my crazy grandma, waiting for my girl to make up her mind. We had decided to keep our friends out of the loop on this one until everything was concrete.

First she said she didn't know, but she called me later that night and told me she had talked to her mother, and her mother said that she was with her whatever her decision. Which means Her father knows because, married people tell each other everything. The next time I went to her house, Her dad gave me this death glare. Then Tori came downstairs and said yes. She also let me know that I was going to be a daddy. I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I know I shouldn't be happy about it, but I am.

Then a couple of days later she said she didn't want me to feel like I had to marry her because she was pregnant, and she called it off. She wouldn't talk to me for three days. But I kept calling. And she finally said okay. And that same night we were going to tell our friends but we had a meeting with the label, and they were adamant that we had to act as though we were single, so that we would be more accessible. They said that if we did have relationships, then no one should know. At least for the first run of the album we were to begin recording. So our friends still don't know.

Tori was still willing to do this. I decided that we should set a date. And we set it for today, but we said if either of us had doubts, then we just wouldn't show up. I haven't changed my mind. Tori is the sanest person in my life. My family is crazy and when my Mom and Dad died leaving me with my crazy Grandma, my life hadn't been the same. It wasn't about the money; I am a trust fund baby. Tori doesn't know how much I'm worth. The moment I marry her, I become an adult, and my trust fund is released to me, so my kid will be taken care of, and so will college for both Tori and me. And we will have plenty leftover.

I looked at my watch, and was getting ready to leave the courthouse when I hear my name being called. I turned to see both Tori's mom and dad coming towards me, and Tori was leading the way. She hugged me fiercely then kissed me on the cheek. "I got detention during second period. I was so nervous about today, I was not paying attention." She smiled at me. "I'm sorry I'm late."

I smiled back, "Better late than never."

We got married. It was nerve wracking, but it was not the most harrowing thing to happen to me that day. As we walked out of the courthouse to dinner as a family, my Grandma collapsed and was taken to the hospital. While we were at the hospital, our friends came to spend time with me. Tori looked uncomfortable. "You alright girl?" I asked.

"Yeah," She answered and took a deep breath. She stood up to pace the hall just as the nurse called me to my Grandma's room.

I walked in to see my grandma, and she was hooked up to so many IV's it just made me nervous. "Hey grandma." I said kissing her forehead.

"Andre," She said in a lower register than what I am used to. "You're a man now son. You take care of your wife you hear?"

"Of course grandma."

"I'm tired of being afraid for you all the time, I am glad that girl is in your life." She said letting out a deep sigh.

"You don't have to be afraid for me anymore grandma."

"Where's your Uncle?" She asked me.

"He is on his way, he is stuck in traffic."

"I'm right here mama." My uncle Tommy said walking in. We greeted each other then he went to my Grandma's Bedside.

"Tommy," grandma said, "Andre was emancipated today… Make sure he gets his trust handed to him."

My uncle tommy looked at me, and his face went dark. "Mamma you ain't dying, you will make sure he gets the things he needs. You are going to be dark."

I went light headed, she was telling us she was dying. "Yeah grandma, we can take care of it when you get out of here."

"You will be fine Andre, won't he Tommy." My uncle nodded, "Tommy, Thank you for being a great father to Andre."

"Of course mama." My uncle was crying. I had never seen him cry before. I walked closer to him and put my hand on his shoulder. Just as I did that, his daughter and wife walked into the room. My grandma started talking to them even more cryptically.

My grandmother said her good byes, and just left me, on my wedding night. I cried by her bedside for an hour. I just couldn't go out to face the rest of them. My family and I huddled in the room with Grandma's body. Our tears flowing like a river.

Tori

As soon as they called Andre into the room, I was a little relieved because I needed to talk to my mom. I walked over to her and whispered. "I need to go to the emergency room."

"What's wrong," she whispered back.

"I am in so much pain…" I answered

"Tori!" Cat gasped. I looked back at her; she was looking at the back of me. I was still wearing my white dress from the courthouse. "You're bleeding! Your dress is ruined."

I looked at my mom, then back at cat. "Damn, why does this always happen when I a wearing white? Tell Andre I hope his Grandma feels better, I have to go change." I looked at my dad, his eyes full of concern, I asked him to stay with Andre, and my mom and me went to the emergency room.

Needless to say, I lost my baby, and my husband of four hours was at his sick grandmother's bedside and I couldn't be with him. I was in a bed in the emergency room, as my womb went through a thorough cleansing. While this went on mom went to the gift shop to buy me some sweats so that I could change into them.

They inserted an IUD at my request; it was hard enough being pregnant as a teen once and loosing the child. I still had to tell the baby's father that he was no longer going to be a father.

I grieved my baby alone for an hour; I couldn't add more grief to Andre's day he had enough to worry about. He had been so happy that he was indeed going to be a daddy. I sighed as my phone buzzed in my pocket.

It was Beck. You should come back to the hospital, Andre's grandma just died. As I read the text the nurse came in with my discharge paperwork. Out of habit my mom signed everything. I was weak, I couldn't move. "What happened?"

"His grandma died."

"Lets go see your family." My mom said helping me off of the gurney. We made it upstairs, as fast as I could. I was still having some severe cramping. My friends were huddled together. Dad walked over to mom and me with a question in his eyes. Mom shook her head and he sighed. He held me to him for a bit.

"Dad, I have to see him." I whispered.

"Wait a little while to tell him about the baby." Dad said giving me one good squeeze.

"I will," I said and walked towards the room.

I guess I looked terrible, because my friends looked at me and pulled me into their huddle. "I have to see Andre." I said and tried to break free from them.

"They wont let anyone but family into the room." Jade said eyeing me suspiciously.

I roll my eyes and sit down in the nearest chair. I was tired, and in pain, and I just wanted to be with my husband. I wanted to be there for him. "Excuse me, visiting hours are over." A nurse said coming to our group.

"Alright, Let's go guys." Beck said

"I can't go." I said hastily, how was I going to explain myself. "I… we were Andre's ride."

"I'm sure his uncle can take him home." Robbie offered.

I searched for another reason, then I looked at the nurse, "I'll just stick around a while, he should know we all stayed to support him."

"Okay, one of you should stay, I guess it is up to you to decide who." The nurse responded. "But the rest of you have got to go."

"I have to stay, " I told them. "I feel bad coz I wasn't here when she died."

They all shrugged, "alright, see you at school Monday?"

I nodded and took a sigh of relief. When they were all gone the nurse turned to me. "You like this boy don't you?"

I smiled, "more than you'll ever know."

Andre finally walked out of the room. I went to him and hugged him tightly. "The rest of them just left, they wouldn't leave until the nurse kicked them out."

"Thank you," Andre whispered

"Dre come on, you can stay with us tonight." Uncle Tommy said. I hadn't thought that Andre would want to be with his family tonight. My heart sank; I didn't want to leave his side.

"Nah Uncle Tommy, Tori promised me I could crash at her house tonight. I kinda want to be away from family a little bit. You all look too much like her." He smiled at his uncle wanly, and they embraced. Andre whispered something in his uncle's ear.

I blushed as uncle Tommy looked over at me then back at Andre with a smirk. "Alright, take care Andre."

"Good night Unc." Then mom and Dad, Andre and I walked towards our car.

We sat in my bedroom in silence for a little while. He leaned forward and kissed me. We made out for several minutes, until he laid me back on the bed and tried to cup a very sore very hard breast. "Ow," I cried out "wait stop, I... I can't"

"What? Why"

"I can't today…"

"What's wrong?" Andre asked concern flashing in his eyes for a second.

"I … I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked

"It's the baby." I said, then I saw the realization in his eyes before I whispered, "It's gone."

Andre began to cry, he put his head on my abdomen and he cried. I ran my fingers through his dreads and remained silent. Once his tears subsided, I began to hum. "Tori." He said

"Hmm?"

"Are you okay?"

I was taken aback by the question. "I don't think I could do that anytime soon. I got an IUD placed, just because I can't face going through this again. I don't like the pain I see in you right now. I feel horrible."

"Do you want an annulment?" He asked me.

"Do you want one?"

"No, I told you I didn't care if you were pregnant."

"And I don't care that I'm not pregnant either." I answered. "I'm in it for the long haul."

He smiled and placed his head back on my abdomen. I continued to Hun 'one sweet day' and we fell asleep like that.
