CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE

GIOVANNI

“Love changes everything, and now, I have a son, and Hailey. Life is all about change, and finding the people that make your life worth living. No matter how hard I have to work to get Hailey’s love and her trust, I will. Because I want her, and no one else. I’ve lost her once, and never again. Because, she’s the only one that makes me want to be a better man, and the only one who has given me hope.”

“Then, I guess I’m glad that you’re helping me get my woman. Because, she’s the one, and no matter how fucked up things are, I can’t live without her. I can’t let her go, and have a child without me. She’s my everything, and I have to prove to her that she can count on me. That, no matter what happens, and the fucked up situation we’re in, I won’t run away. Because, no matter how many mistakes I’ve made, or how scared I am, the one thing I won’t do is let her down.”

“There’s the answer. Now, go and fix the mess that you created, and be the man that she needs.”

“Yeah, okay.”

We hung up, and I rushed out the door.

It was time for me to make things right, and not run away from the truth.

From the truth of my own feelings, and the truth of the woman carrying my child.

And the only woman that I have ever loved.

VALERIE

The next morning, the sound of someone banging on the door woke me up.

Hailey wasn’t home, she had gone to the hospital. And me? I’ve been throwing up since I found out about this pregnancy and I still have like two or three more month left with morning sicknesses. I was roughly over a month gone now, and I already feel like shit and just want all this to be over.

It didn’t help that I was already going through emotional baggage, plus morning sicknesses and hormones. I was a hormonal mess, and have been crying non stop.

I groaned, and slowly walked downstairs.

I opened the door, and my heart dropped.

Giovanni was standing at the doorstep, and I froze.

“Can I come in?”

I stood there, gaping.

“Valerie, please.” He tried to touch me, but I took a step back.

“Valerie, hear me out.”

“Leave, Giovanni. There’s nothing you can say that would make any difference, and nothing can change the fact that you ran out on me, and left me alone. When you promised that always be there, and never let me go.”

“Baby please, listen to me.”

“Why? Why should I listen to a coward who runs away from his responsibilities, and makes a woman feel like shit for trusting him. For opening her heart and letting him in. And letting him touch her. When the only thing he could do is break her, and walk away from the very person he hurt and the woman carrying his child. So, don’t act all innocent and sweet. Don’t make me think that there’s a chance for us when there isn’t.”

“You’re right, and I’m sorry. But, I’m not a coward. Yes, I ran away. But, that was a mistake. One that I’m sorry for, and regret. And I’m not walking away, and leaving you to deal with the pregnancy on your own. You’re not alone, and neither is our child. I- I love you, Valerie.”

My heart stopped, and I stared at him, wide eyed.

“You don’t get to do this. Not after everything you’ve done. Don’t you dare tell me that you love me, and expect everything to be alright. You’re trying to do damage control, don’t joke about things that you don’t mean just because you’re scared. Because, this is not a game, and it’s not something we can pretend. You’re not doing this for me, and I won’t let you do this to yourself.”

“I’m not here because of fear, and I’m not joking. Yes, I’m terrified, and have a lot to work through. But, I love you, and I won’t lose you. The day when we first kissed, and the moment I tasted your lips, something shifted in me. And I realized that you’re the woman that I’ve been waiting for. You’re the woman that has broken all my barriers and walls…”

“And the only woman who has made me see things differently. Who has shown me how beautiful and sweet love could be. You’re the woman that changed me, and helped me see things clearly. And, no matter how hard it would be, and how difficult the situation would be, I’m willing to give it a chance. I’m willing to work things through, and give it a shot. I’m willing to try, and not let you down. And, no matter what, you’re not going through this alone. Neither are you, and the baby. I’m here, and will be by your side. No matter how fucked up the circumstances are. You’re not alone, and neither is the baby. I love you so much, Valerie. So so much. And I don’t ever want to lose you, and the baby.”

My heart fluttered, and tears blurred my vision.

I was speechless, and didn’t know what to say.

He was here.

For me.

For us.

He came back and was here, willing to give it a shot and take the next step. He loves me. He’s not leaving, and he’s here.

I was a mess, and started crying.

He pulled me in his arms, and held me tightly against him. “Shh, it’s okay. I’m here. Everything is going to be alright, and no matter how hard things get, I won’t ever leave your side.”

“I was so afraid, and the fact that you walked out and left me behind, and alone… It was the most

horrible feeling.”

“Shh, it’s fine. You’re fine. I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere. I’m here, and will be with you every step of the way. Until the very end.”

I nodded, and sniffled.

“Come on, let’s go inside. It’s freezing out here, and I don’t want you or the baby getting sick.”

He closed the door behind us, and walked upstairs.

He took off his shoes, and layed beside me on the bed. And just like that, all the stress and tension

was gone.

The warmth of his body, and the comfort of his embrace, was all I needed.

He’s here.

And I’m not alone.

“Are you happy? About the baby, I mean.”

I smiled.

“Yes. Of course, I am. No matter how difficult the situation is, and no matter how scared I am, the idea of a baby makes me happy.”
