Three days had passed. Hayden text Stephanie.
Stephanie I don't know what to do. – Hayden
What's wrong? – Stephanie
Jeff still loves me. – Hayden
I could've told you that. – Stephanie
He wants to get back together – Hayden
Do you? – Stephanie
Yes and no. – Hayden
Do you love him Hayden? – Stephanie
Yes. Say we do get back together. Say we get married and for years everything's fine. Then one day he goes back to drugs. – Hayden
What if he doesn't? If Jeff makes you happy, be with him and deal with the bumps in the road as they come. – Stephanie
Jeff knocked on Hayden's bedroom door.
"I'm taking Rebekah to the park." Jeff said. "Wanna come?" She nodded her head yes.
They went to the park. They pushed Rebekah on the baby swing and took her down the swing and played with her in the sandbox.
After the park they went to lunch. The waitress was bringing them their check.
"What an adorable baby." The waitress said.
"Thanks." Jeff said.
"You two make a lovely couple."
"We're not a couple."
It was the middle of the night. Hayden got up to go to the bathroom. She stubbed her toe in the darkness.
"Ow!" She said. She turned on the light. "Wait." "I'm talking." "I'm talking!"
After she went to the bathroom she went downstairs.
"Jeff wake up." She said.
He sat up. "Is something wrong?"
"My voice is back." "I can talk." She sat down next to him. "Sorry do wake you but I'm just so excited." She hugged him.
"I'm glad it is." Slowly he drifted closer to her lips. The baby started to cry.
"I'll get her." She got up and went upstairs.
