Alice's Journey

Baby Daddy

That night I couldn't sleep. All I think about is the meeting. How will I approach it? Is walking in and annoy wing my pregnancy the best idea? Probably not being why will he do what will he say? I sigh as a wave of sickness approaches me and I groan running to the bathroom emptying my stomach. maybe I won't get fat with all this sickness stuff. I grumble standing cleaning up and get in the shower. I lean against the wall shutting my eyes for a moment. This is such a mess. This was the last thing I expected to happen to me. I am such a fool. I stay till my water runs cold and get out drying my self off and then I slip on my white silk robe and access myself. I don't look pregnant. I look normal. My stomach is still flat and I don't have the "glow" or whatever the ladies talk about. I just shake my head drying my hair getting prettied up for my baby daddy. I slip on the black lingerie and that is where I can tell the difference my boobs practically fall out plus they are sensitive. How gross. when do they start spouting out milk?!? Ewww. I then begin thinking about adoption should I even tell him if I am considering such a thing? But as I hear the loud voice of Maisie I know there is no way out of this.

"Hey, hot stuff here you go." She giggles tossing me the clothes. I slip them on and I must say I look provocative.

"This is dumb," I grumble grinning as I spot a McDonald's bag and oh gosh coffee!!!! I shove the food down my throat and Maisie laughs.

"Sometimes we have to do dumb things." She shrugs. "And you better hurry if you want to make it to your appointment." She adds. I nod and hug her once before I walk out of my safe house into the big bad world and down to the bus stop. Gosh, I am so poor. When I reach the rich part of the city and begin feeling nervous as we stop in front of the building. I gasp as I walk inside and Everyone is dressed up. I feel beneath them in my JCPenny outfit.

"Who are you?" A woman in a tight fitted black dress asks not looking up from her computer.

"My name is Alice Monroe," I say softly.

"You late go in the elevator maybe Mr. Lupus can spare a minute tell the lady soon as you come to floor 11," she states and I nod rushing to the roomy elevator hitting the button. I sigh with unease. I feel sick. I watch as the doors open to another lobby. I walk to the platinum blonde lady in a navy blue pantsuit who looks rather annoyed.

"Uh, I am Alice Mooney." I say timidly not like my usual personality at all but these women are like Valkyrie. or at least they look like them.

"Yes, your late and you will only have a few moments Mr. Lupus is waiting through those double doors." The lady gives me a grim look and I nod walking to the dark wooden massive doors that complete the whole evil villain look of the place. I open the door and slowly walk in trying not the gasp at the view of Central Park and the sky. It is beautiful.

"Finn," I say and the man who I met at the bar and gave me the best night of my life turns in his large chair behind his glass desk and faces me with a frown.

"Ahh Allie to why don't owe such a pleasure? You do know that was a one-time thing correct?" He says his brows raised and his mouth in a hard line. He looks angry. But with who?

"My name is Alice sir and I am well aware it was a one-time thing even though that is the reason I am here." I sigh beating around the bush.

"What is it do you have an STD or something and if so you did not get it from me I am checked monthly." He insists and I scoff.

"No Finn it's much worse I am pregnant," I admit and I feel a huge relief fall off of me. Finn gets this awful look on his face before he cracks a grin and bursts out laughing.

"Darling sorry but I must admit to seeing through your lie, it has been tried in me one too many times and if you are pregnant I assure it isn't mine."

"I assure you, sir, I am not a slut and I am pregnant but I just thought the baby's father should know." I give him an evil eye.

"I thought you should know," I say to the silent room. I watch him for a second and all the sudden his features change. I turn to leave knowing this hopeless. I guess my child will be fatherless. I can make this work. I can take care of him or her I can do it. Even if I must work eight thousand jobs.

"Wait" he states shocking me still to the core.
