CHAPTER 15: DIFFICULTIES
Blaine arrived home after a long day. He had been at the doctor and confirmed that he was pregnant. He went to work because he needed the money, in a few months, he needed to stop working for a while. Nobody would pay for having sex with a pregnant man. And not work meant no money.
Brittany was angry because she thought Ian wasn't in a friend's house for him to jeopardize his health. However, Blaine had debts and he didn't want to have more. He wanted his children future to be better than what he had. He wanted them to finish school and go to the University, to be loved and happy.
That four years wasn't easy for Blaine. Even if he took everything he could when he run away his parent's house, he couldn't find a job because he wasn't graduate. His parents didn't pay the last month in the school and he couldn't pay it either, so he couldn't do the last texts. Without money and being graduate, it was impossible to find a job, so he was in a difficult moment.
After two weeks, he was homeless, had no money and no hope. He went to a drugstore and bought some pills and a blade and tried to kill himself. He was "unlucky" because a doctor saw him and kept him alive until the ambulance arrived. When he was in the hospital, a blood test confirmed he was pregnant.
Her doctor was Taylor Pierce and, after some psychological tests with doctor Wilde, she asked him to visit Brittany.
Brittany and her husband, Sam, had a building with apartments. They rented that apartments to win money. It was a gift for the Pierce because they wanted their little girl to work in something she liked, even if it didn't give her much money. She was a cat clothes designer and her husband was a painter. They paid the bills with the money they had for renting the apartments.
The Evans let Blaine life in one of the apartments, the one which was free, the smallest one. His debts were increasing until he found a job. The Evans not only let him life there, they gave him money to buy food, medical appointments and everything he needed for the baby.
When Ian born, Sam was with him, even if it was Christmas day. He didn't want Blaine to be alone in that difficult day.
Ian had a bad first month because the colic*, a flu and a virus. That meant a lot of sleepless night and a bigger debt. It was so huge that three years after finding a job, he didn't even pay a half.
He didn't want to move on a bigger apartment and he still lived in that small place with only one bedroom, Ian's, American kitchen, a little living room and a small bathroom. Blaine had been sleeping in a couch for four years and thanked he was small.
Someone knocked the door and Blaine sighed before opening. He smiled when he saw Sam. It only can be him or Brittany because Brody had come home with him after working and they had talked a lot about everything.
"Brittany had cooked spaghetti with meatballs and asked me to bring some for you" Sam said while he showed him the food.
"Thank you, I'm really hungry, but I didn't want to cook." He went to look for a fork, a glass of water.
"We know you, don't we? Without Ian here, you would go to sleep without having dinner… We are worried."
"Don't worry about me."
"You are pregnant and you need to take care of yourself. I don't like you don't do it for yourself, but you need to think about Ian and the baby, please."
"I know they depend on me." Blaine caressed his belly. It was the first time he did it, he needed to realized he was waiting for his second child.
"Are you going to talk with his father?"
"I'm so scared…"
"Why?"
"What if he takes Ian from me? He knows where I work and he can imagine how I live. It's not a good life for a kid… If he takes them from me, I…" Blaine hated to cry in front of someone, but he couldn't stop because the hormones.
The phone rang and they looked at each other. It was late and it wasn't usual to have phone calls at that time.
"Blaine's speaking."
"Hi, Blaine. I'm Marley"
"Is Ian fine?" When he said that, Sam worried too.
"Yes, he is sleeping. He had dinner and played a lot. I call you now because I know you work late and I don't want to disturb you. There is something I wanna talk with you, it's really important."
"I'm listening…"
"I don't know how to say it… We've never talked about our families, so I've never told you mi uncles last name. My mother's sister is Julia White, but since she is married is Julia Smythe." Anderson felt sick and scared, it can't be happening.
"Do they know…?"
"My aunt suspected it since Sophie's birthday because he looks alike my cousin. They thought Brittany and Sam were his parents until I talk with her today."
"What is going to happen?"
"Seb and my uncles want to talk with you. I didn't tell them you are pregnant again because I think you should tell them. They want to talk with you this Sunday. Everyone will be here, even Seb's boyfriend."
"Thank you for telling me. I'll be there." They said goodbye and finished the call.
"What did she say?" Sam asked worried.
"They are going to take mi kids from me."
Sam sighed, if the Smythe take the kids from Blaine, what is going to stop him to feel like for years ago when he didn't want to live anymore?
*I'm not sure it is the word.
