Chapter 18

Parker

This couldn’t be happening to me; to us.

It was a nightmare that I swore I was going to wake up from. My sister’s birth must have still been on my mind so much that it was now playing tricks on me. There was no way that my girlfriend could be pregnant. She was adamant about taking her pills and being so responsible.

As the time lapsed I was coming to the realization that it wasn’t a dream at all. Cameron was pregnant, and I was the father.

It was the wrong decision to make, but I had to get out of that room to get some air. The cool wind hit my face as soon as I was outside, giving me more proof that I was wide-awake. Out of all the things that could have happened in my life this was the last thing that I ever expected. I’d already been through this ordeal once. If my parents found out about it a second time they’d disown me. The worst part of it all was not being able to explain my reaction to Cameron. She was never going to forgive me for walking out of that hospital room, not that I could blame her. I didn’t deserve her forgiveness. At the scariest moment in her life I’d abandoned her, and I absolutely hated myself for it.

Knowing that she was in there probably staring at the door, waiting for my return, I had to figure out what I was going to do. The unfortunate shock had left me scatterbrained.

My hands became sweaty, and I could feel bile rising in my throat. My head began to spin, so much that I had to sit down to steady myself. For those few moments I felt like my life was going to be over.

Then I called my brother. He’d been there for me before, and I was hoping he’d know what I should do now. It was hard to imagine what to say to someone who I’d almost ruined their life, but I couldn’t think of one other person that would listen. I didn’t have friends that I trusted with this kind of information, and I certainly couldn’t call Peyton. She’d just had a baby, and was settling into having a family. Her opinions would be biased.

Shayne answered after two rings. “Hey, Parker. What’s up?”

“I fucked up again, bro. I fucked up so bad that I don’t know what I’m goin’ to do.”

“Slow down. What are you talkin’ about? What happened?”

It was ridiculous to try to sugar coat it in any way. Shayne wanted the truth. “It’s Cameron. She’s in the hospital.”

“What the hell is goin’ on? Did you hurt her?”

“No. Of course not! I’d never lay a hand on a woman. It’s nothin’ like that. She’s in the hospital because she was havin’ a miscarriage. I didn’t know she was pregnant, man. I swear to God.”

“Shit. Is she all right? What do you need me to do, man?”

“Shayne, it was twins.” I couldn’t believe that I was going to say it, so I paused to make sure I could go through with it.
