Chapter 21
~*Nat*~
It was a few weeks later, and I was out of the hospital, even if I did visit it every other day either for my therapy, a check up, or Nick. It was something I had gotten used to. I was two months, going on three. Nick was doing okay, but he really didn’t say much to me about anything. He was becoming distance. I was starting back at work too, I just did some small things like help with the photos.
I was visiting Nick, again, that week. As I walked into the room, he smiled. “Hey baby. How are you? And the little one?” he asked. Pulling me close, kissing me and then pulling my shirt up and kissing the baby.
“Alright, both tired, so much work to do.” I said smiling. “So how’s this stuff going?”
“Okay, I’ve been told that I’m not that bad of a case so they might get me out of here sooner.”
“Nick, you say that every time I come here, and I’m getting sick of the lies, and I want you to know that your not getting out of here anytime soon, the earliest you are getting out of here is, I don’t even know. Nick, stop telling me that, it get’s me to happy, when I hear from other people you won’t.”
“Nat, I don’t understand. Why are you acting like that?” he asked, looking like he was ready to cry.
I just ignored him and went off to another subject.
~*Three months later*~
~*Nick*~
I was waiting for Nat to come and see me, and then my mom was going to come a little bit later to see me. I was reading a book, when Nat walked in. “Hey.” I said looking at how much bigger she was getting.
“Hey.” She said sitting down on the bed next to me.
“How are you feeling? You look tired.”
“That’s about it, tired.” she said putting her head on a pillow next to me.
“You should take off a few days, I mean Nat, you need the rest, for five month pregnant and seeing how you could get sick from the baby, or the other way around, ya know get some rest for a day or two, you need it.”
“Nick, you don’t even know the most of it.” she said, starting to sound mad.
“What do you mean?” I asked, scared. She’s been having these mood swings, every single day and it’s been scaring me.
“Nick, all you do is stay here and try to get better, you are, but you don’t know how much things I’ve been doing so that I can stay in our place, and get better from everything.”
“I know, and I’m going to be out of here in a month. I know about this one.” I said with a smile.
“Nick, I.. I... I don’t want you to be the father of this child.” she said. I looked at her as she went into tears. “I want to be..” I started to say when she jumped off the bed, sobbing, and started to run for the door. “I’m sorry Nick.” she said and ran out of the room.
“Nat?” I whispered.
