Chad must have seen the look of surprise on my face, because seconds later I heard him ask, "What the matter?"
"Umm…nothing," I lied. "But I think you should go now." I stood up, walked toward the door, and gestured toward said door.
"Sonny…" he said crossing his arms, like a five-year-old pouting because he didn't get what he wanted. "You suck at lying." then he sat down on the couch.
"I do…but whatever…it's none of your concern!" I said flustered.
"I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on!" he said stretching out on the couch, placing his hands behind his head.
"What?!" I asked incredulously. "Just get out of my apartment! You shouldn't care! You gave up the right to care when you left!" I exclaimed. A sudden thought crossed my mind as I finished my small rant. "How did you even find out where I lived?"
"Sonny. Sonny. Cute little Sonny." He said shaking his head (which was still resting on his hands).
"It's not that hard. I drove to what was once our house, and the lovely couple you sold it to gladly gave me the address you told them to forward your mail to."
"Whatever you…you…stupid monkey!" I shouted.
"Stupid Monkey? Really Sonny? Real-" he started.
"Don't!" I paused. He looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Even say it," I said with a deathly undertone.
"Fine! I won't!" he said.
"Fine!"
"Good!"
"Goo-" I was stopped mid word by a sudden pain in my lower abdomen.
I must have made a funny face, or something, because Chad immediately jumped up.
"Sonny!? Are you okay?"
After the pain pasted I said, "I'm okay."
"What was the matter?" he asked. I let out a heavy sigh.
"If you must know, I am pretty sure that was a contraction, I think I am in labor." I said nervously. Chad's eyes bugged out.
"This scares me because I am 3 weeks early." I continued.
"Okay…" Chad said. "Shouldn't you be going to the hospital?"
"I will as soon as you leave!"
I said adamantly.
"No!" Chad said stubbornly. "I want to be there when my own son is born!"
"It's a girl you moron!"
"A girl? Wow…I came down here to yell at you, and then I find out I am about to have a daughter! Whose life you apparently don't want me to be a part of!" Chad exclaimed.
I sighed. "I don't know Chad! We'll discuss it later! Right now I should probably call Tawnie."
Chad replied with a simple, "Yeah." I walked over to my leather purse and dug my phone out of it.
Within seconds I was listening to Tawnie's phone go straight to voicemail. "Sorry but you have failed to reach me, the one and only TAWNIE HART! Which is a shame because I am the prettiest, best dressed, most entertaining w-" BEEP!"
I smiled and left her a message explaining what was happening and that I would be at the hospital. Then I put my phone back in my purse and walked back where Chad was standing.
"She is probably at her small, dark coffee shop, that so-good-you-have-to-turn-your-phones-off-for-some-dumb-reason." I said.
"Well hopefully she will get the message soon." Chad said positively
"Yeah… just let me get my keys and we'll go." I said walking over to the shelf I had declared the designated place to put keys. I reached my hand onto the shelf, expecting cold metal to collide with my hand, but instead, I felt the smooth surface of the shelf.
"Ugh!" I groaned, causing Chad to look at me like I was crazy.
"I should have known!" I said. "Tawnie Hart never takes the bus!" I said, imitating Tawnie. I'm sure Chad thought I was insane.
"Tawnie took my car." I explained, smiling. "I would take hers but it's in the shop."
"Oh." Chad said, looking relieved. "I'll drive you."
"No."
"Why not?"
"I am just fine on my own!"
"What do you expect to do? Walk? I am driving you!" And with that we headed to the hospital.
Sorry if the character seem out of character. Btw, what do you think they should name their daughter?
