Melanie awoke with a head on her arm. "Derwin", she whispered. She poked him with her free arm. Mel was hungry and she desperately needed to use the bathroom.
He groaned and looked up at her throwing daggers at her till he remembered where they where and he started to get really worried. "Are you okay Boo", he asked worriedly.
Melanie smiled. "We're fine", she smiled. She then touched his arm. "I have to pee", she stated holding back a laugh.
He laughed and removed his hold on her.
After Mel came back from the bathroom she saw Derwin reading over some papers. "What's that", she asked.
"You're being discharged baby", he exclaimed jumping up to kiss her. She pulled away at the last minute and he got her cheek instead. That's when it donned on him that he haven't kissed her yet. "Melanie", he asked wanting to straighten everything out.
"Please just take me to Kelly's", she begged.
"Baby I'm taking you home", he stated. "I love you", he yelled.
"Oh so now that DJ isn't yours I'm magically no longer ruining your life", she screamed back. "Yea Tasha told me…well guess what I'm not going to ask you to buy me a big house or Prada bags…I just want you to either treat our kid like you treated "DJ" or you can forget that we ever existed and sign over your rights."
Derwin looked heartbroken. "How can you ask me to do that", he sighed defeated.
Melanie scoffed. "Before any of this happened you were playing house with another woman…how could you think a baby can fix us…my baby isn't going to replace the ones we lost", she cried. "That's too much pressure on it", she cried and then almost doubled over in pain. She held onto the wall handle and used the other one to shoo Derwin away. "I'm fine", she cried. "We're fine". She closed her eyes to hide some of the pain.
Derwin took in a deep breath. "Nurse", he screamed calling for help. "We need a doctor".
Jason groaned as he was waking up. His back was killing him but other than that he was extremely relaxed. He went to move his arm when he noticed the extra weight and then the blonde hair that was on it. He smiled down at Kelly remembering the night before. He then looked at the bed that was not slept in. He vaguely remembered that was where it started. Shaking his head he carefully stood up and carefully lifted her up and tucked her in.
He stood looking at her sleep for a long time. Jason was completely confused. Last night was amazing but then again last night he cheated on his wife, who he was really starting to like Chardonnay and as scary as it was he saw a future with her. She was a good and firm step mom to Brittany and she understood the fact that she needed to save and conserve funds.
The phone ringing brought him out of his thoughts and he hurried and answered it before it awoke Kelly.
"Hello", he asked not bothering to look at the phone and realize it wasn't his.
"What the hell", replied the voice.
Jason then looked at the phone in his hand in cursed. "Dude that's not a proper greeting", he replied instead. "Now since you called this phone I want to know who the hell this is", he asked instead as jealously surged through him.
"Really Jason…I know it's been a while and most of you guys relationship you pretended I didn't exist", Brandon hissed.
Jason let out a breath of relief. "Oh…you're that Brandon", he dismissed as if there was suddenly no more to the case.
"What did you do with my sister", Brandon asked instead.
Jason smirked. "Better question is what did your sister do to me…".
"You son of a bitch…wake her ass up and leave her alone", Brandon sneered.
Jason watched Kelly a little longer before turning away from her and closer to the door. He never noticed her sit up. "Look I know we don't like each other and this is sudden but I love your sister and I know we have issues but I'm willing to put in the work and I'll take whatever shit you give me just for you to know how much I love your sister", he whispered quietly.
Kelly heart swelled and she relaxed back in the bed.
"Oh…please…just tell me this. Please tell me this isn't about her telling you about your son because if you're with her because of that", Brandon sneered.
Jason was no longer listening. The word 'son' kept resounding in his head. "What are you talking about…I don't have a son", he said.
Kelly looked horrified and in that instance Jason turned to look at her. "Is that my phone", Kelly asked deciding to play the dumb blonde.
Jason ignored her and hung up from Brandon. The screen immediately went to a picture of her and this toddler that damn sure wasn't Brittany. He tried hard not to lash out on her and do something he would later regret. He slowly lifted her phone and asked. "Who's this"?
Derwin went to the only place he knew at a time like this. Melanie was sleeping on this sedative and he felt useless at her side. He needed to do something, so there he was at the chapel in the hospital. He gulped before taking a seat in the front row. He was happy he was the only one here as he placed his hands in his face to cover his tears.
All he wanted was a family but every move he made seemed to be the wrong one. "Dear God, I know I've messed up bad. I know I screwed up but I can't lose them. She's all I have left. I'm not asking you that you make me a better man. I have to do that, but I'm asking you to give me time so I can become the husband Melanie needs and the father to our child. "
He closed his eyes and prayed.
Derwin stayed a little longer before he finally went to go check on Melanie. He saw that Mel was still asleep but Tasha was by her side. "Did she wake up any while I was gone", he asked quietly.
Tasha glared at Tasha and then sighed. Truth be told she felt sorry for the man. "No but how are you holding up", she asked.
Derwin looked at her hard before answering. "Not well, my marriage is in shambles, she barely wants me to touch her, I just found out that the little boy I adored isn't mine and I might lose my other child. I don't know how I'm going to get through this", he told her.
Tasha reached out and grabbed his hand giving it a reassuring squeeze. "That girl had no right lying to you and I know how it is to put your child first but this girl right here Derwin, she loves you and don't ask me why because I don't know why myself but she wouldn't do anything to hurt you, well not purposely. Sometimes, the girl is a ding bat but I guess your ass rubbed off on her".
Now he was confused. "Is that suppose to make me feel better", he asked.
"Well in the beginning but you have to remember I'm her friend".
"But you're my manager", he argued.
Tasha cursed and then smiled. "I'll make sure she don't see a dime and all the money she gets goes towards the real DJ…get it cuz", she started laughing.
"Too soon Tasha".
Kelly looked up feeling extremely exposed and she wasn't talking about literally even though she was sitting before him with only a sheet wrapped around her. She didn't know what to say. She figured she could lie but then that would only make matters worse in the long run. Slowly Kelly got out of bed uncaring about the sheets as they fell and walked over to him. She inwardly winced when his jaw twitched and grabbed his hand that the phone was in. "His name is Michael and I adore him so much", she stated looking up at him.
"So is he yours", Jason asked pissed off at her. She nodded as tears went unchecked down her face. "Am I his father", he asked calmly. It was too calm for her liking. But again she nodded.
"It was that night you took me home from the party and we made love. I was trying to be strong and show everybody that I could be somebody other than Jason Pitts wife and by the time I realize that I couldn't…that I didn't want to be anybody else it was too late. You moved on and that's my fault but then I found out I was pregnant but you were too happy. I couldn't ruin that. I didn't want to drag you back in…not because of the baby. Then I began to show and I got so scared, I took Brittany to France and came back to stay with my brother until I delivered. I…".
He ripped his hand away. "Brit-Brat knew…you had our daughter lie to me", he asked.
"I was scared and as time went on the harder it was to tell you".
"I don't know what to say", he responded.
"Say anything, scream, shout, I can take it…just please don't shut me out", she begged.
He looked at her and sighed. "You made the decision to be shut out Kelly…this was a mistake…I yeah", he stated walking out the door not even caring that he left his shirt in the hotel room.
Kelly went back to the bed and cried.
He didn't even notice that Kelly phone was still in his hand until he reached the car. He angrily thought about throwing it and then he thought better of it. He sat in his car with the jersey he had in his gym bag and flicked through her gallery. He saw pictures of the little man and her playing and then some by himself. The picture that really got him was the jersey that stated his daddy was a proud Saber. He got that for Kelly when he was trying to convince her to have a baby; preferably a boy. It tore him up inside to know that she kept their son a secret. Jason leaned his head on the steering wheel emotionally drained.
