Chapter 10

  Lauren's POV

 

 

 

Tuesday I informed the school of my pregnancy. None of the student body know but if Julissa and Lilah keep being overprotective they'll figure it out. I'm not ashamed of my pregnancy but I'm not ready for the judgement. Wednesday I had dinner at my parents house. My dad gave me the silent treatment. It hurt my feelings. I know he hates me and it clearly shows. Thursday I had my usual sleepover at Lilah's. Julissa didn't come because of some family issue. Today's Friday and she cancelled the sleepover for tonight at her place. 

 

 

"Hey beautiful!"Vance said kissing my right cheek. "I brought tacos and caramel popcorn." Tacos and caramel popcorn have become my favorite thing to eat. It's an unusual combination but it taste delicious together.

 

 

"Yum." I said snatching my food from him.

 

 

"You're welcome."he laughed.

 

 

"Thanks babe."I said with my mouth stuffed.

 

 

"Lauren I have something to ask you."he said pouncing down on his bed. My appetite faded. I hope this it isn't anything bad. Swallowing my food I spoke.

 

 

"Yes, Vance?"

 

 

"You know how next week is spring break right?" I nodded. "Well a few of my friends are going to Florida."

 

 

"And you want to go too?" I asked. He nodded. "Vance you don't need my permission to go to Florida with you're friends."

 

 

"I know but I won't to make sure you're okay with being alone."

 

 

"I'm a big girl Vance and plus I'll be here with you're family." Vance rubbed the back of his head. "What are they going to Florida too?"

 

 

"Actually Vegas."

 

 

"Well I still have Julissa and Lilah."  So I thought.

 

 

 ------->

 

When the first day of spring break arrived everyone vanished. Julissa went to Argentina to spend time with her family. Lilah's in San Francisco presenting some invention ,she made, at a science convention. Even my family were on their way to Jamaica for my dads family reunion. I got invited but by my mom. I declined her offer because my dad didn't ask me himself.

 

 

Now here I am sitting at the beach alone. I considered calling Vance but he's probably busy. He'll call when he's free. The tides are beautiful today. The sparkling blue color reminds me of Logan's eyes. I wonder if by any chance our baby will have his eyes. I shouldn't be thinking of him he's probably somewhere picking up some chick.

 

 

"Asshole."I said throwing a seashell into the water.

 

 

"What did the ocean do to you?"a very recognizable voice asked. Turning on the heel of my feet, I locked eyes with Logan. He looked great in orange tank, khaki shorts, and biege loafers.

 

 

"What are you doing here?" I asked. 

 

 

"Lilah sent me to check on you and her baby. The 'her baby' are her words not mine."he said.

 

 

"I'm fine now leave."

 

 

"Apparently you're not fine since you were swearing at the ocean."he joked.

 

 

"Can you ever be serious?"

 

 

"Laughter is the best way to ease a broken heart."

 

 

"You poor baby did Kelly break your heart?"I asked mockingly poking out my bottom lip.

 

 

"No, you did."he said walking closer to me.

 

 

"Yea, right."I huffed. "If anyone has a broken heart it's me. And you caused it."I said stabbing his chest with my index finger.

 

 

"BULLSHIT! You never wanted me or cared for me. I'm not the one who got my number changed and ignored me. I'm not the one who's moved on. I'm not the one who wanted things to end. I'm also not the one who's allowing some random ass guy to claim to be our baby's father." That did it. Logan really pissed me off pretending to be the victim.

 

 

"It's just like you to play the blame game. True enough I'm in a relationship but I haven't moved on. I never wanted us to end but I knew you wouldn't change. I'd always be just another girl you got into bed. Also Vance is not some random guy. And what do you care if he claims the baby? You're off the hook and have no responsibility. You can continue living you're life and with as many girls as you want." I cried. "You can't possibly imagine how I felt. Everytime I saw you with a different girl a piece of me died. You know how bad I wished it was me you introduced as you're girlfriend instead of Kelly. The sad part about all of this is I love you still. I love you so damn much that I'm willing to have your child. I figure that even though I can't have you I'll bring a piece of you into this world." Logan hugged me. "Let me go!"I said pounding on his chest.

 

 

"Lauren stop fighting me. No matter what you do I'm never leaving you. I love you with all my heart and soul."he said and with that I gave in. I hugged him like my life depended on it.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 11

 Lauren's POV

 

 

End of Spring Break 3:00 a.m.

 

 

Ring! Ring! Ring!

 

 

 

"Hello,"I answered my phone half asleep."WHAT.....WHEN.....WHERE ARE YOU...I'M ON MY WAY."

 

 

"What's the matter?"Logan asked flicking on his bedroom light.

 

 

"THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT WE NEED TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!"

 

 

 

>>>>>>>>>>>

 

 

I ran through the ER doors and straight to ICU. Andrea, Vincent, and Neal where talking to a female nurse. I knew Vance was gone when Andrea collapsed onto the floor. I rushed to her side and held her tight. But I knew a hug wouldn't bring her son back. 

 

Vance was suppose to come directly home after his flight landed. Instead he went to have drinks with his friends. Driving himself home he crashed into a tree. The doctors did the best they could but after no response they gave up. Doctors say he never stood a chance anyway.

Epilogue

 

 

Logan's POV

 

 

"Vanessa what have your mother and I told you about leaving your toys out?" I asked my beautiful four year old daughter. She looked like Lauren but had my eyes. 

 

"If I leave them out someone might get hurt."she said.

 

 

"Well Daddy stepped on your toy and hurt his foot."said my beautiful wife.

 

 

"Oh daddy I'll never leave my toys out again."she cried wrapping her small arms around my neck.

 

 

"It's okay baby don't cry."I said patting her in the back.

 

 

"Hey I hate to break up this touching moment but we need some more meat out here before old man Vincent beats somebody up."Tyra said.

 

"Here I come."

 

 

Carrying Vanessa in one arm and a tray of meat in the other ,I went out onto my patio. Lauren came out behind me with our three month old son ,Collin. Collin takes more from but has his mother's chocolate eyes and brown hair. The whole family is here for the fourth. On the left of our picnic table sat Andrea, Neal, and Vincent. Though they're not the children's biological grandparents we still consider them to be. Next to them is my dad Lewis and my two sisters Leigh Ann and Lindsey. On the right sat my in laws ,Fern and Laurence, Tyra, Wesley, and Khalil. Yes, we are still best friends. At first he hated me and Lauren but that changed when he could finally hook up with Julissa. They're married and are expecting soon. She and Lilah are here as well. They're arguing over who's holding Collin next. I think I should go save my wife and son from those two.

 

 

 

*****Also if you're wondering about Kelly were still good friends. She lives in New York City now. She's married and has a two month old daughter named Lesly. On a few occasions Lauren and I have went to visit her. This year we plan to make it a family trip.*****
