Chapter Five

Jamie

God my body hurts, it seems to get worse with every day. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to keep this a secret. I’ve made it five months I only need to make it two and a half more.

Chaz has been so supportive of the pregnancy. I feel like a horrible person for not sharing my dreadful secret with him. The one that could potentially leave him a single father. I don’t want that to happen though, but with each passing day I’m sure that’s what it will come down to.

I’ve spoken with both my doctors about all of it and they both agree that if I can make it as close to term as possible, I could have a c-section done. At that point they can run a blood test to see if my baby and I are a match. If so, we’d be able to talk about options. However, if it’s gonna hurt my baby, I won’t allow it. I’ll die before ever hurting her.

Chaz and I decided not to find out what we’re having but I dream at night the baby’s a little girl with her daddy’s dark eyes and my hair. However, I don’t want to truly know for sure. It would be too hard to contain my sadness at leaving my baby. Harder than it already is.

When I’d asked Chaz what he’d thought about names he informed me that since I had to go through the hardship of carrying as well as the delivery of our baby I got to pick. Long as it didn’t suck or wasn’t some wimpy name like Frank or Vernon.

So, I’d figured if the baby was a boy, we could name him Chance, similar to Chaz. Now if we had a girl, I picked Melody. The perfect name for a child who will grow up around the world of rock and roll and will probably learn the lyrics to Def Leppard before she can even sing the ABC’s.

Shaking my head, I go into the shop to get a few things straight around my desk before going home to take a nap. As I open the front door I can hear screaming in the back of the building.

What in the world? Heading in the direction I realize who the voices belong to. Furrowing my brows, I wonder why my sister is screaming at Tanner? I mean I know they’ve never been able to get along not since Alexis caught Tanner in a clench with the head cheerleader.

Since then she usually avoids anything that has to do with the guys. Whatever’s brought her here must be important for her to stop by.

“I swear to God Tanner if you don’t shut the hell up I’m going to punch you.” I have to cover my ears as I walk into the room to keep Alexis’ shrills from bursting my eardrums.

“Venus, it’s not nice to threaten to punch someone. Maybe I should put you over my knee,” Tanner says, giving my sister a grin.
