Chapter 19
*Nick*
“What do you mean one part might come early?” Nat said in barley a whisper.
“Well, Natalie, Nick I’ve gone over the one test we did on you and your pregnant.”
Nat looked down at her stomach, and rubbed it. “How far?” She asked. “More than a month. But we
have to do more tests.”
“Thank you doctor.” She said. He nodded and walked out. “I’ll let you two be.” He said in a whisper.
“Baby? Are you okay?” I asked her.
“Nick... I think.... I know this baby is yours.”
“What do you mean mine?”
“I never slept with Joel... I only slept with you.” She said rubbing her stomach, and I felt a tear on
my hand.
“Why are you crying? This is probably the best news out of this whole month.”
“I know, but I’m scared Nicky.”
“Of what?” I asked.
“When I was in the hospital when Don did his little attacks on me.. They told me and my mom that
there was so much damage down there that they don’t think that I can hold or even have a baby,
without losing it. And I know you are so happy that I’m going to have one, that I’m just scared.
That you are going to be disappointed in me.”
“Baby, I can’t be disappointed in you, you are my only thing that I care about, hell I could care less
about this baby, as long as your fine.” I said. Really trying to hold back my tears to what I just
heard.
“Nick, you seem sad, like you can’t even look me in the eye, you and I both know that your angry
about this.”
“I’m not angry.” I said rubbing her back. “I just want you to get better.”
“Nick, I don’t think you understand.” she said.
“I do.” I said she looked at me. “Nick, I can die from having this baby. That’s what I’m trying to tell
you.”
I pulled my head against the wall, I was really trying to hide my tears from her.
“Nicky, I’m tired, can we talk about this later?” she asked.
“Yes.” I said, trying to make it sound like I wasn’t going to cry. “Do you want me to stay here or
move?” I asked.
“Stay.” she said resting her head against my chest. I slid down in the bed, and held her, when I
knew she was sleeping, I started to cry into her hair. I couldn’t bare losing either of them, the
baby or nat. My nat.

I fell asleep for a second when, Nick just started to cry on me and hold me tighter. Then he
started to say something, “baby, I know that I can’t lose you, but this baby means everything to
me, just as you do. I know it’s selfish of me to even think of the baby over you, but we can find the
best doctors and find out how you can have this baby without being in any pain, which I can’t see
you in, like now, you hurt, I can’t show my tears, I have to be brave, just like you. Please don’t be
mad at me. Be scared, I’ll be there for you. Even if I have to sit in this dump forever.”
I had a tear in my eye and started to cry. Nick started to rub my back, until I feel into a nice
sleep.
