She glanced towards the window watching as the birds perched themselves in the low hanging branch chirping in the warm weather. Her legs shook violently beneath her as she awaited the sound of the bell wanting nothing more than to evacuate the school grounds and be reunited with Jamie. It seemed strange that she could love someone so much in only a few months, if it were even possible every time she laid eyes on Jamie she fell even deeper in love. She loved every single thing about her little baby girl, she loved her tiny little button nose, her perfect almond shape piercing blue eyes, her gorgeous lopsided smile, every little thing she did made her completely forget why she was scared to have her in the first place.
"Jess?" She recognized the voice immediately rage building up in her heart, just hearing the voice fueled the fire of hate that was burning inside of her
"What do you want Emmerson?" She spun in her chair facing the back of the classroom where he leaned causally across his desk
"I just want to know how you're doing, I haven't spoken to you since.."
"Since you said you don't want to raise a disabled child?" Jess interrupted the anger she felt conveyed in her voice "When you said that Jamie being deaf is the worst thing that could happen? When you said that there was no way in hell that your daughter would be deaf?"
"Jess please.." He pleaded getting to his feet and slowly making his way towards Jess placing his hand on hers causing her to flinch at his touch "I'm sorry for what I said, I really am"
"Like hell you are" She yelled drawing the attention of the class as she leaned away from Emmerson "You knew what you were saying, and I didn't see you coming to visit Jamie anytime in the last seven months!"
"You know what I'm not sorry!" Emmerson admitted climbing onto his feet "If this is what I get for trying to be a nice guy, to hell with it! I'm not sorry that you're a slut, I'm not sorry that you got yourself knocked up and then lied to everyone about who the father is, I'm not sorry that your daughter is deaf, I'm not sorry at all! You fucking deserved everything that happened to you!" All eyes were on Jess as Emmerson stormed from the classroom slamming the door loudly behind him, she sat there awkwardly holding back the tears that threatened to spill out of her eyes. She didn't know how to address the situation that had just happened, she didn't know how to diffuse the tension that was building the blatant staring feeling as if they were burning holes in her skull.
"Oh fuck off!" She warned hearing the whispering throughout the classroom as she got to her feet approaching the door not wanting to wait any longer for the bell which seemed like it would never ring "Damn it" She whined kicking her locker forcefully before leaning her head against the cool metal door
"Are you okay?"
"I thought we agreed not to speak" She mumbled turning to face the girl "And anyway, I'm not really in the mood to talk right now"
"Jess, you can't ignore me forever our parents are dating sooner or later your gonna have to accept the fact that we need to talk" She said leaning on the locker adjacent to Jess' "I just wanted to see if you were okay, you look drained"
Jess rolled her eyes as she silently agreed with the brunette "To be honest, I am" She confessed finally meeting the taller girl's eyes "Amy, I'm so fucking tired of all this high school bullshit"
"You and me both, but think about it you only have one more year. This is it were seniors, were almost done"
"I don't know if I can last" Jess said her voice cracking slightly as she once again fought back tears "With everything that's going on with Miranda and Emma, and Tori being so distant I don't know how I'm supposed to get through the year"
"You could start hanging out with me" Amy suggested giving a small smile after hearing Jess' stifled laughter "I knew that would make you feel better, but maybe you should focus on yourself right now instead of everyone else"
"I've tried that but every time I seem to do that, someone develops a new problem"
"Jess trust me on this, you need to stop being there for everyone else. You're a mother now you need to be there for your daughter" She made a move to walk away as Jess grabbed onto her wrist pulling her into a quick hug
"Thanks a lot bitch" Jess smiled hugging the girl tightly in her arms
"Morning" She practically sang pulling the curtains opened causing the dark room to fill with the bright sunlight
"Fucking hell" He groaned under his breath covering his head with his pillow desperate to hide from the burning sunlight "Mom!" He cried as Spencer stole the blanket from her son throwing it across the bedroom
"You need to get up, it's already 10"
"Why does it matter what time it is? It's not like I'm going anywhere" He whined finally sitting up in his bed tucking his knees into his chest
"You could if you want you know" Spencer suggested taking a seat on the edge of Liam's bed "You don't need to be confined in you room all hours of the day"
"What else am I supposed to do?" Liam asked running his hand over his head his hair beginning to slowly grow back after losing it from his month of chemotherapy "I don't know what else to do with my time"
"Maybe you could go out and spend some time with your friends, I think they'd like to see you"
"I saw them the other night, they don't miss me yet" He frowned "And besides there still in school right now"
"Jess isn't, doesn't she get out early?" Spencer asked tucking a strand of her brown hair behind her ear
"So I can see Jess now? Cause a few months ago you weren't to keen on that idea" He remembered anger at his mother's disapproval still present
"That's when you asked if you could marry her, you can't get married in high school"
"But what if I never get another chance? What if I die tomorrow?" He challenged
"Don't say things like that! Please don't talk like that I don't want to think about anything like that happening to you!" Spencer pleaded
"You never know Mom the doctors said the cancer could come back, they said not to get my hopes up"
"But for now everything is going okay, for now all we can do is live in the moment"
"So if were living in the moment why can't I marry Jess? I love her so why can't I marry her?" Liam asked curiously
"Because you're only 18 Liam, you're a child"
"Legally I'm an adult" He interrupted swinging his legs out of his bed slowly getting to his feet stumbling for a moment before regaining his strength "I'm going to see Jess and Jamie, I'll be back in a few hours"
"Liam, please"
"I'll be back in a few hours" He repeated slipping on a light jacket as he stepped out of his room heading towards the front door "Hey baby" He greeted smiling into the phone "Can you meet me in the park? We need to talk"
The park was quiet, everyone still at school the two teens the only inhabitants. He watched intently from his position on the swing as she strutted closer to him pushing the stroller in front of her the small form of Jamie quietly resting inside.
"Hey honey" She grinned taking a seat beside him on the empty swing "What's wrong"
"We need to talk about, it" He said glancing towards the necklace that hung around her neck "I think we should do it soon"
"Why?" She asked worried "Are you feeling sick again?" Her face showing all of her inner concerns
"No" He said reassuring her as he trailed his hand across her arm stopping once her reached her hand intertwining his fingers with hers "I just don't want to wait any longer, I don't think I can wait any longer"
"Well you have to at least wait till I'm 18, which is in three months"
"Jess, I'm not joking. I think we should get married now" He pleaded tighten his grip on Jess' hand "I want us to be a real family"
She used her free hand to find the ring that hung on her necklace "What happens when our parents hear about this?"
"How bad could it be?" He asked a small laugh escaping his lips "It couldn't be worse than telling them that you were pregnant"
"Liam please tell me you're not doing this because you're afraid of dying before it happens" Her eyes filled with tears at the thought of losing him "Tell me your doing this because you love me"
"Of course it's because I love you" Liam said his voice sounding hurt at the insinuation that it was for anything other than love "Jess, everything I do is because I love you, everything I do is because I love you and Jamie, it's all for you two"
"Yes" She answered simply
"Really?" Liam grinned brightly "You're saying yes?"
"I told you when you asked that I had to think it over, I told you that I had to make sure that it was the right decision and after hearing everything you just said I know it's the right thing to do" She unclipped her necklace slipping the ring from the chain before placing it on her finger "I love you Liam"
"I love you too" He whispered closing the distance between them moving his head closer towards hers placing a kiss on her lips wrapping his hand around her neck "I love you so much"
He wasn't lying, he did love her he loved her with everything in his body, he loved her more than words could describe. He wanted to marry her because he loved her, he wanted to marry her so they could be a family, but then again he wanted to marry her just in case he didn't live long enough to marry her later in life. He wanted to be with her now, he wanted to show her how much he loved her so that when he did die she would know how much he truly loved her, so she would know that she was all he ever wanted in life, so she would know that she was everything that he needed in life.
