Chapter 13

FAITH

The doctor spilled the beans on my pregnancy, now I can't escape him, I really dread what's going to happen in the next few minutes, I don't even know what to explain, I didn't prepare myself to be confronted with it's so early, I'm really stressed, the look that the guy is giving me right now doesn't mean anything to me, it looks like he wants to jump on me and strangle me, when he asks the doctor to leave, I understood that I was spending my last hours, I will soon go to the slaughterhouse, I prefer to turn around so as not to see him in the face…..

Christopher: You will stop playing crazy and explain to me immediately what is going on here, is this baby mine...

My heart skips a beat, I'm currently in tachycardia, wouldn't it be better if I pretend to pass out, bffff knowing him it's only putting things off, if he doesn't get no answer he won't let me go

Christopher: You will immediately turn around and look me in the face and answer my question.

Me: what do you want to know

Christoper: who is this child from, think carefully before you say something stupid

Me: it's yours

He runs his hands through his hair, I clearly notice that his hands are shaking, he starts to come and go like a lion in a cage, I remain silent, I watch him do it, at one point he stops and resumes

Christopher: but what were you thinking when you decided to hide your

Me: you want to know why, it's because I was scared, I was angry with you, and you treated me too badly for me to trust you and tell you such news

Christopher shouting: but who do you think you are to decide if I have the right to know of the existence of my child or not, you didn't do it alone, this baby

Me shouting: you want to tell me that if I had landed in your office to tell you that I was pregnant you would have believed me

Nurse: you are making too much noise, we have patients who need to rest

Christopher: no, but you're crazy, but believe me, we're not going to stay, believe me

Me: where are you going

I don't finish my sentence when he storms out of the room, but what did he mean by he won't stop there, I'm so worried I don't want to lose my baby, he's a rich guy who has influence and he can take my baby away from me with a snap of his fingers, he was so angry that I really fear what he will want to do, no but what did I do, I try to call him but he doesn't pick up, so I decide to call Leila...

Leila

I was at work when Faith calls me in a panic, she tells me that she is in the hospital and that Christopher knows everything, I take my bag and I rush to the hospital or is, I hope really that nothing serious happened for her to end up in the hospital + when I arrive I ask according to her I am told her room and I run to join her, when I enter her bedroom, she was crying

I walk towards her and I take her in my arms

Me with sweetness: my darling, what happened

Faith: he knows everything, and before leaving he threatened me, he will definitely want to take my baby away from me, I'm sure

Me: everything will be fine don't worry

Faith: you were right, if I had listened to you...

Me: nothing proves that he would have believed you if you had told him, I'm sure it's because he's angry, when he calms down he'll come back feeling better

Faith: you promise

Me: I promise everything will be fine...

She was so agitated that I had to call the nurse, who came to give her tranquilizers to help her sleep, I reassured her but my heart is not at peace, I just hope he won't want to. do something stupid, faith ends up calming down and falls asleep, I stay by her side to watch over her, I call my boss to warn her that I'm in the hospital and that I won't be able to come back before tomorrow, luckily that 'She's understanding, she gives me the rest of the day

I sit next to my girlfriend, I stroke her hair, I wanted so much to do more for her but I feel so helpless, at the moment there are so many mishaps happening to her, even if she plays tough, I hear her cry sometimes at night, it really hurts me, why does she have to go through so much….

This baby is the only thing she clings to, if she makes all these efforts it is for him, and if he were to lose her she would collapse….

Christopher

I leave the hospital, I start to walk a little, I meet James who comes forward to open the door, but I wave to him to tell him to leave, I need to get some air so the best thing would be for me to walk a little, I just take a direction I start by walking ^to go I don't know where, I don't know what I could have done to deserve women like that in my life, the first kills my baby, the second hides her existence from me, if I hadn't discovered things thanks to her loss of consciousness, I guess I would not have known anything, I who have wanted to have a family so much all this time, she m I will have deprived of this chance, I will have left leaving my child that I do not know at the end of the world, somewhere where I am not even sure to return

She wanted to deprive me of my right to be a father, to have someone to give my love to, for once I won't be alone in my life, I find a bench a little further on where I sit, I loosen my tie, and I take off my jacket I'm going to have to make the right decisions, she didn't do well by hiding the existence of my baby from me, but I'm just as guilty for this situation, I never showed her that she could count on me, on the contrary, we are both guilty of this situation and we will have to settle things as soon as possible

I want to ensure my role as a father, I want to be present in the life of my child, my dream will come true now, I will have a child of my own……

I sit there thinking about how to make the situation easier for everyone, there's no way I'm snatching a child from its mother, I'm still not a monster, even if my confidence in the fairer sex is not in good shape nor do I hate them, this girl has just given me a present that I cannot afford even with all my money, besides I believe that I love….

When I put a little order in my ideas I undertake to return to the hospital we must have a discussion together, there is no point in postponing things, when I arrive at the hospital, I immediately go up to his room I come across a girl sitting next to her, it may be her sister, or someone from the family, when she sees me she gets up and approaches me

Girl: I guess you're the famous Christopher

Me: yes it's me, I can know who you are

The girl: I'm Leila, faith's friend and roommate

Me: nice to meet you then Leila

Leila: I don't think it's mutual

Waooooo, what do they eat in this country and the girls are not so shy, I guess she was also in the confidence and she intends to defend her friend, so I put my hands in my pocket and I looks at her with an impassive face, even if deep down her reaction makes me laugh a little, I suppose that if the baby is a girl she will also have a bit of this character….

I intend to teach them good manners to her mom and her, I rejoice inside when the ideas of how I'm going to re-educate her mom come to mind, good stop rambling, let's come back to earth

Leila: since she met you, you haven't stopped traumatizing her and making her cry, this trip to Paris which was supposed to make her forget her mother's death a little, you managed to turn it into a nightmare , when she returns you follow her to continue by making her life difficult but she put up with you know why, it's pure this baby she put up with all these mistreatments, to be able to give her a future, she put up with you because she needed this job for this baby, this baby who is the only person she has left on earth, this baby why she gets up every morning you want to take her away……
