Parker
is moving in today after school. I dont know how to feel about
that. I got dressed in shorts, and a tanktop that fit over my
flattened basketball shaped baby bump. The tanktop fit
snug on my belly, and you could tell i was pregnant, but i
was okay with that. I got into my car, and drove to school
shortly after doing my hair. I scrunched it, and did my makeup. I
looked cute. I arrived at school five minutes before the first
bell. I have 5 minutes to get to my locker. I walked into school,
and got a few stares. I walked over to my locker, and grabbed the
textbooks and binders i needed for the morning classes. I
dropped all the books that were in my hand. I felt a very
hard pain, and i jumped a little. I immediately fell to the
floor, holding my stomace. Marisol ran over to me,
and helped me up, i stood there, one hand ontop of my
bump, the other on my lower back for support. Marisol carried my
books to my first class. thankgod for marisol.
Me: this baby can kick really hard.!
Marisol: i bet!
Me: thanks so much.
Marisol: anytime girl(:
Classes went usual today, and followed the same basic
scedual. Today was our last day for this week.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we had off due to teacher
workshop. Thats why parker was moving in today. My
mom has been acting different ever since Marisol spoke
to her. It was for the best though. Lunch was the same as
everyother day. We spoke about me being Pregnant. They told me
that everyone knows... i was worried. After lunch i couldnt stay
for two more periods, the baby kept kicking. I walked down to the
nurces office.
Nurse Alice: Hello Ms.Cruz. What might the problem be?
Me: the baby keeps kicking, and i cant focus in
class..
Nurse Alice: So you cant stay the whole day ?
Me: i dont think so, the pain is unbarable.
Nurse Alice: i will call your mother to pick
you up.
Nurse Alice was in her late 20's. She can't get
pregnant. She has wanted to for a few years, but she cant. She
cries all the time. I feel so bad for her. What if i give my
baby to someone who really wants one... Its an idea.
My mom came and picked me up from school, and we went home. The
car ride home wasnt bad, my mom was talking to me about Her
pregnancys.
Me: why did you invite parker to live with us?
Mom: i never wanted you to grow up without a dad..is that what
you want for your baby?
Me: hes not the dad, and you know it.,.. devon is..
I got home, and parker was already there, unpacked. he never knew
about my dad. He thought my step dad was my real dad...he wasnt
even close. My dad died when i was 6. He was my best friend. We
were close. As anything. He was always there for me, and i told
him all my secretes.
Me: parker, you know that George isnt my dad...right?
Parker: what? ...
Me: hes my step dad. Since i was 8.
Parker: can i meet your real dad..?
Me: yeah parker. Right now.
We got into the car and i drove. I drove for hours. 6 and a half
hours. Parker was confused when we pulled up to a grave yard.
Parker: is this a joke?
I got out of the car, and started walking. I got to the
tomb that said " Matthew Cruz"
I started to cry. I talked to the tomb, thinking it was my
dad..
Me" hey daddy, i havent been here in a while to talk to
you.. I miss you so much. Why did you have to go... We were so
close. Im pregnant now. Ill make sure you meet your grandchild. I
promise. I miss you daddy. Please come back, and
promise never to leave.. I need you daddy. I have grown since the
lasttime you seen me! im five feet tall now. Remember when we
made that bet, and oyu said i would never reach five foot?
i won that bet daddy. I miss you. please come back... i need
my best freind... my dad..."
I was crying the whole time i spoke.
Me: parker, please, never leave me.. I cant go through this
again..
*Sorry this is really emotional guys. Someone asked why she didnt
have a father, so i felt the need to write this
