Ch 3 Break In
Danika POV:
It never surprised me at how lucky I could be. I admit it was dumb luck, but luck none of the less. Paige was ok and I wasn't in jail. But it was only due to who I was with. My life right now was like two necklaces tied together and it seemed impossible to untangle. I can't pretend that I didn't expect to stay out of trouble, which I never do. I always manage to dig myself into a deeper whole then the one I was into before. I remember the day, I gave birth and I made the hardest decision of my life.
Flashback:
I found it very hard to catch my breath. My muscles were finally were not tense. Sweat was dripping down my fore head. I felt exhausted. Labor had been a lot more traumatic then I expected. The nurse on duty lightly dabbed my head with a washcloth. Everyone complimented me on what a good job I did. I didn't exactly know what they were praising. Didn't they see women do this every day? I turned my head to see the tiny baby in the warming tray. The newborn's feet were up in the air as the nurse was examining him.
"Congratulations you have a beautiful healthy baby girl" The nurse said smiling giving me the freshly cleaned newborn. I looked down.
"Oh she's beautiful" Paige gushed, I smiled at her. I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"The social worker will come in, in a few minutes to talk to you" The nurse told me. She took the medical chart and left the room. Paige looked at the tiny baby in my arms. She knew what I was about to do.
"Are you sure Danni?" She asked.
"She will be better with a family that can support her. She will be taken care of better." I said. Even though I wanted the little girl more than anything, I knew it was the right thing to do. I was too young, and barley could take care of myself. I just got out of the foster care system after all. The baby's father was also of no help, since we broke up even before I knew I was pregnant. He was a drug addict, therefore wasn't the ideal father. The door opened and a woman came in. I told her my decision.
"She will be adopted immediately. Don't you worry, since it's an open adoption the parents keep in contact with you" She said smiling reassuringly. I smiled at her. She gave me the paper work. Within a few minutes, my rights to my daughter were out of my hands. I wasn't worried about the baby finding a home. She was a gorgeous baby and she would be adopted quickly. All I could do was watch as they took my baby away, bringing her to a life that I knew I could never provide for her.
End of Flashback:
I never regretted my decision. It was the right thing to do. Even now, I wasn't ready for motherhood. I thought maybe it was different when I met him but the relationship quickly went downhill. I've only had one boyfriend that didn't completely screw me over. We broke up because we both agreed we were better off as friends. Whenever a relationship went bad I compared it to the one relationship that didn't fail. I'm not a woman that needs to be in a relationship, I just jump into them. I turned over in my sleeping bag. The only sound I heard was Paige's light breathing. I could hear light snoring in the other tents. I couldn't help but think about my daughter. Did she look like me? I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep all thoughts of my daughter going to the back of my mind. I would return to her later. Right now I had to worry about what was going to happen in the morning.
Paige POV:
I hated mornings. I despised them with every ounce of my being. I groaned as I looked at the clock. 6:30? I go through stages of where I would awake many times throughout the night. This didn't last long but it was annoying. Me getting up at this time was an indicator that I will not be having a full night sleep for a little while. I decided to get up and go by the fire. I wasn't the only one who was up.
"Good Morning" I said politely.
"Good Morning" C-Note said making room for me on the log.
"Whatcha doing up from your beauty sleep, kid" C-Note asked.
"Couldn't sleep anymore" I explained. C-Note just nodded. We sat by the fire not speaking. We were still in the cave so we couldn't see the sunrise.
"The guys want to go into town today" C-Note told me.
"Isn't that dangerous?" I asked him.
"We need to know what's going on, especially with news of our escape. There is a con that we broke out with that we don't want finding us" He said.
"Why not?" I asked. I knew who they were talking about of course.
"Because T-Bag gets on everybody's nerves. He has a lot of nerve for a skinny white man" C-Note said critically. I had to laugh at the tone in his voice.
"Why was T-Bag in prison?" I asked. I was fascinated with the reason why the convicts were in Fox River.
"What hasn't he been in prison for?" C-note said shrugging.
"He's been in and out of prison he's whole life from what I heard. He's a bad dude. No one liked him in Fox River" C-Note said with hatred in his voice. I could tell that he had run in with this infamous T-Bag,
The others got up a little while later and we went into town. It wasn't that long of a trip. I didn't know exactly what we were going to do until we got into town. It felt weird being back in society again after so long. It felt like it's had been forever.
"Ok snowflake, how are we suppose to get in?" C-Note asked.
"Knock down the door?" Sucre suggested.
"Or maybe we could just open the door with the key?" Danika said holding up a pair of keys.
"How did you find that?" I asked.
"Well obviously these people are out. Most people put spare keys by the door." Danika explained.
"Come on let's get inside~" Abruzzi said impatiently. Everyone did as they were told.
"Damn the one house we can get in and there is no TV" Lincoln said.
"Let's get out of here. The people will be back any minute." Danika suggested nervously. We heard silence in the distance.
"Fuck" I said. Michael looked at me.
"Come on. Let's go" Michael said. It was lucky that the house wasn't in a major populated area. We went back into the woods but not before seeing a fire truck pass.
