Chapter 24
~Madison's POV~
~Four months later~
After that night I got a bus and went straight home tears falling down my face as I walked into the house and past the living room where my dad and Nikki were sitting.I didn't even pay attention to the fact that they were practically making out as I walked up the stairs and to my room.I grabbed a box out of my closet and started to throw Reed's things in there.I didn't even notice dad come walking in the room his hair a mess as he crossed his arms and watched me.
"Madison what's going on?"He asked walking over.
I started to cry even harder as I collasped in his arms telling him what I had seen in the bathroom at the resturaunt.He ended up helping me pack the rest of Reed's stuff into the box before I wrote it's over on it in big letters as I let him carry it out and sit it one the porch.Nikki came into the room that night and stayed awake with me until I had cried myself to sleep.
It had been five months since that night and Reed tried everything to get ahold of me even talking with dad who told him that he never wanted him that he didn't want him to come around me anymore,Reed shot back saying he had every right to be with me when I was pregnant with his child and that he didn't understand why we were being this way.Dad blew up on him then or at least that's what Nikki said he did.
I sighed as I walked throught the park my hand over my now swollen stomach as the media snapped pictures,ever since the whole resturaunt thing Reed and I both had been getting alot of attention.I was tired of not being able to go anywhere without someone following me.
"Madison!"I heard someone yell and I stopped dead in my tracks afraid to look and see who it was because I didn't want it to be who I thought it was.
"What do you want?"I asked tears threatning to come as the cameras flashed around me.
"Maddie can't you at least look at me."He said walking closer to me.
I slowly turned and my breathe caught in my throat as I looked at him,his hair was all over the place not to mention he looked like he hadn't slept or shaved in weeks.
"Why are you here?"I asked my hand still on my stomach where he was looking.
He looked up his eyes locking with mine.
"I was going for a walk."He said as the cameras continued to flash"I saw you over here and I came over to talk to you."
"I really don't want to talk to you Reed."I said as I quickly started to walk away but he grabbed my hand and softly turned me to face him.
"I didn't kiss her alright you walked in when I was trying to get her off of me."He said shaking his head.
"Oh is that why you had her pinned against the wall?"I asked getting angry as I quickly pulled my hand away from him.
"She had me pinned against the wall and I had flipped around when you walked in before I pushed her off me."He said.
"Sure Reed whatever you say."I said as I turned and walked away from him.
"Madison I would never hurt you on purpose alright."He said as I continued to walk"I love you."
I didn't listen to him as the tears fell down my face I stopped and took a deep breathe putting both hands on my stomach as the baby kicked.Reed was by my side in a second.
"Maddie are you ok?"He asked panic in his voice.
"The baby's just kicking."I said softly shaking my head as I slowly looked up at him and saw relief fill his eyes.
I slowly reached over and took his hand as I placed it on my stomach and let him feel,the cameras still flashing as he smiled a little and then pulled me closer to him his hand still on my stomach.
"That's amazing."He whispered.
"Yeah well that's what you've been missing out on."I said shaking my head before I got out of his grasp and walked away.
~Joe's POV~
"Joe!"I heard Ari scream and I quickly rushed up the stairs to our room where she was resting,she was sitting on the bed her hand over her stomach.
"Adam,Abby get your moms bag and get out to the car now!"I yelled as I quickly rushed over to Ari's side and picked her up before I headed down the stairs and to the car.
When we got to the hospital Ari was rushed back to a room and I told Adam and Abby to call everyone in the waiting room and let them know that their mom had gone into labor and we were at the hospital.I quickly walked back to the room where Ari was biting her lip and taking deep breathes.I sat down next to her as I took her hand.
"They said that they may have to do a c-section."She said softly"The baby won't turn and they said if he doesn't in the next few minutes they're going to do it."
I nodded my head as I leaned over and kissed her.
"Everything is going to be ok."I said softly stroking her cheek with the back of my hand.
She gave me a small smile as the doctor walked in to let us know what he was going to do.
-------------------
An hour later I was holding my son in my arms while they stitched Ari up.
"He looks like you."I said leaning down and kissing her gently as she smiled up at us.
After awhile the nurse took him from me so that they could check him out and I decided to go with them to the nursery.
"I'll be in the room when you wake up."I said softly kissing her again before I got up and walked out with the nurses.
