“I got your bag. Everything is ready to go. Your father scheduled your induction. You just get into the bed and relax,” my mother orders, practically pushing me onto the hospital bed. “It will all be over soon, sweetheart. You’ll see things are better this way. Time to move on with life and look to the future.”

When James turned his back on me, I was alone and on my own with no one to count on but my parents. Our relationship isn’t great, but they are all I have. I don’t blame him. I knew he’d hate me. I hate me. No one wishes it were me who had died in that wreck more than I do. Rochelle should be having the time of her life with Colter. Experiencing all her firsts with him. Now neither of them will ever have any of it. I did that. I took that away because I was selfish. James lost his daughter and Papa had to bury his son.

I can’t bear to be in my apartment because all I think about is Rochelle, Colter, and James. Mostly James. I knew I’d miss him. Only I wasn’t prepared for how greatly. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. He’s all I think about, but this baby is coming, and it’s up to me to do what’s best.

My mom knows a couple who have offered to adopt. I’m conflicted. Ideally it makes sense. I’m in no position to take care of a baby. I don’t have my diploma. I’m eighteen and on my own. The lease will be up on my apartment soon. My parents say I can come home if I give up my baby and finish school. I don’t want to depend on them. I’m scared though. I don’t know what to do. I’m lost and heartbroken.

Nowhere to go. No job. No one wants to hire me because I’m a dropout and pregnant. My life is a mess, and it’s my fault. I made the choices that put me in this situation. I gave my heart and body to a man who hates me. He doesn’t love me, nor does he want to be a father to my child. However, despite it all I owe it to him to call him and tell him that our daughter will enter the world today. That he lost Rochelle, but he’s gained another child.

“Where’s my phone?”

“Let me see.” She pilfers through my overnight bag. “I could have sworn I stuck it in this pocket. We must have forgotten it.”

“I need my phone now.”

“You don’t need it. You want it. Big difference. Besides you need to focus on delivering a healthy baby for the Mahoney’s. Your father and I went through a lot of trouble finding someone who could be discreet and pay for your hospital bills. Having a baby isn’t cheap, Alexa.”

“I don’t need a reminder. I just want to take some pictures when she’s born.”

“I thought we agreed that it’s best if you don’t hold her or do any of that stuff.
