Chapter 14
*Nat*
It was two days later. Nick came back from school to see me before Brian was going to come back and see me.
We were both sitting on my bed talking. Nick brought me closer to him and we just sat there and talked.
The nurse came in then with the doctor and my mom.
“Mom what’s wrong?” I asked looking at her face. It looked like she was worried about something.
“Nat, Nick you need to hear this.” She said.
It looked as if she was crying. She was wiping something away from her face. Nick pulled me closer to him.
“We have to tell you something. Before the accident you were pregnant.” the doctor said.
I took Nicks hand with my good hand and squeezed it. Nick held it there as I said “How long was I?”
“About two weeks.”
I looked at Nick and I remember what happened then. I started to cry. One because I didn’t know about this and two she Ashley killed my baby.
“It’s okay Nat.” Nick said rubbing my back as I cried on his chest.
“I think we’ll leave you two alone.” Said the nurse.
I felt Nick rubbing my back and a drop of water wet on my back. I looked up at Nick and saw him crying as well.
“Nicky?” I said looking up at him.
“I know. I’m crying.”
“Why?” I said getting off of him. I was kind of glad that I wasn’t the only one crying.
“She killed our baby. I mean we didn’t know about it but still we never will be able to.”
“You want a baby?”
“Well, not now but if it does happen then we have to take it.”
“I’m sorry Nick.”
“It’s not your fault.” Nick said.
We sat there and just held each other close. It was strange but we both were doing it.
Brian came up a few minutes later.
“Yo Nick are you coming?” He said walking in.
We both looked up at him.
“What’s the matter guys?” he said sitting on the end of the bed.
Nick looked up at him and said. “She was pregnant.”
“What do you mean was?.....Oh. I’m so sorry Nat.”
Brian said going on the other side of me and rubbing my back.
I looked at both of them.
“Thanks. You two are great.” I said looking at both of them.
Nick then looked at Brian. “I’m going to stay with her for today. We can go tomorrow.”
“Nick, no your going with him. You’ve spent too much time with me already. Now both of you go.”
“Nat, I’m not going.”
“If you don’t go I’m not going to be in here. I’ll walk somewhere.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes Nick. Now your sleeping here so just go and have some fun.”
“Nat. Thanks.”
“Your welcome. Just go and win.”
“Alright. Let’s go Brian!”
Nick said and left me there. I just went to sleep.
