CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE-1
HAILEY
I sat in the waiting room, feeling a sense of deja vu.
Only this time, I was not the one in the examination room, and I was the one who was terrified on Valerie’s behalf. Children are blessings, but now when they weren’t planned, not when there was no stability or solid relationship, it made things difficult.
It made the whole thing scary and uncertain.
I wondered if Valerie would have to raise the child alone.
I had no doubt that she would make an amazing mother, and would give her child a wonderful life. But, I couldn’t help but wonder how this would affect her career and her life. Giovanni is the better brother, would he prove me right by stepping up and wanting his child? Would he be a better man than his brother and not walk away and leave her to do it alone?
I knew Valerie would not be able to raise a child on her own, I would be with her every step of the ways, yes. But, nothing beats the love and the support from the father.
Giovanni would not let her go through this alone, right?
The last thing I would ever want is to let Valerie go through what I went through during my pregnancy. Or let her child go through life without a father figure like Liam did which I still regret.
I knew that Giovanni was a player, and didn’t do relationships. But, I also knew that he would not abandon his child.
He wouldn’t.
My thoughts were interrupted as Valerie walked out and came to sit next to me.
“So?”
“Well, it’s a relief to know that the results were accurate, and that the doctor confirmed that I am indeed, pregnant.” Sarcasm dripped from her tone and I knew it was just a cover to keep her emotions in check.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. Just a little shocked, and trying to accept the news. Hailey, what the hell do I do? Like, I’m really pregnant. A whole baby. Inside me? How did this happen? And what the hell am I supposed to do?”

“I’m so sorry, Val.”

“Don’t be sorry. This is not your fault. This is no one’s fault, but my own. I was stupid, and now I’m paying the consequences. Hailey, I’m pregnant and the father doesn’t want me or a relationship,
and the last thing I would want is to trap him. So, what do I do?”
“You don’t have to make any decisions, and let’s not rush or panic. You’re in a very vulnerable position, and the last thing you need is to make an irrational decision. Why don’t you wait a couple of days, and decide what you want. It’s a big decision and it involves two people. So, it’s only right to give him a heads up, and give him a choice. He has a right to know, and you have a right to tell him. Only, the ball is in your court, and you’re the one who holds the power. He will have to respect your decision, and if he doesn’t, then it’s his loss.”
“And if he doesn’t want the baby? I’m scared, Hailey. I’ve never been in this type of situation. How do I cope with this?”
“Don’t be scared. I’m always here, and no matter what happens, we will get through this. Because I’m never letting you go, or giving up on you. Okay?”
I pulled her into a hug and she hugged me back, quietly sobbing into my shoulders.
“I love you, Hailey.”
“I love you too, Val.”
“And the baby, Hailey. I don’t know what the future holds for me but I already love this baby. Even if I hoped he or she would have come in a totally different situation, I can’t help but love it already.” “Then, there’s your answer. If you’re willing to fight for the baby and protect the child, then nothing can stop you. Nothing can defeat a mother’s love, and no one will be able to take your child away from you.
You’re not alone, and this is not the end. Trust me. Everything will be fine, and it will work out the way it’s supposed to. You just have to believe.”
