The Confused One

Episode 14

Charlotte’s POV

I was finally discharged from the hospital and allowed to go home.

I had to stay at the hospital for a while longer as they wanted to keep an eye on the baby to make sure there had been no complications with my allergic reaction and the pregnancy.

Everyone came to visit me except Charlie, it hurt.

As much as I would love to be mad at him I can’t so.

No matter my age every time I ever had an allergic reaction Charlie was always there.

I must have hurt him bad if he’s upset enough not to come see me.

Everyone else who has came didn’t mention anything about the baby being Lucas’s I have a feeling it’s only so they don’t stress me out because if it was a different situation I’m sure they wouldn’t leave me alone.

Talking about Lucas, he has not left my sight for more than 5 minutes since I was in the hospital.

A lot of the time he will just sit and talk to the baby.

I use to find it to be an awkward thing, having him sitting with his head on my tummy but after a while I got use to it.

I arrived to my apartment and went straight to my bedroom to get changed into my pjs because I am in uncomfortable clothing and I just want to sit in comfy pjs.

I came out of my bedroom to see Lucas looking at the 10 boxes in my living room.

“I forgot all about these.” I said and he turned to me.

“What are all these.” He asked confused.

“They are not guns.” I joked he gave me a small smile.

“I received them on the morning of your engagement dinner, i pushed them in here in hopes of opening them that night.” I told him and he nodded.

I started opening the boxes and pulling out all the baby things.

There is a lot, there’s so so many things you would think I’m going to have a couple of babies.

“Are all these necessary?” Lucas asked looking a bit caught off guard.

“Well yes and no, many of these things I bought impulsively.” I told him and he just kept watching me opening the boxes.

“I think we have to talk.” I said after a while of looking through everything I had bought.

“Yeah I guess we do.” He mumbled and tried to avoid my eyes.

I started thinking of how to start a conversation because Lucas didn’t seem like he was going to speak any time soon, which is a so weird to me because in all my life I have never seen Lucas be this quite.

He was always loud, annoying and when I did want him to stop taking he wouldn’t.

“You are engaged.” I was able to breath out without breaking down.

“I was.” He said and I looked at him I unsurely.

“You were?” I questioned and he nodded.

“You aren’t anymore, did something happen, if it’s because of the baby tell her I honestly don’t want anything from you, the baby won’t even know you are their father.” I said, even though I think his fiancée is a b***h I don’t want to ruin Lucas’s life or make him unhappy because of something I wanted, when I finally looked up at Lucas I saw the unhappiness in his face.

“Lucas...” I called out his name when he didn’t answer back to any of my questions or thoughts.

“Charlotte I thought I could, I really thought I could do this.” He said desperation in his voice.

“Lucas you know we cant go back on this, this baby is real.” I said getting slightly annoyed because it was his idea to do this and I never forced him.

“No Charlotte that’s not it, I can’t live with having you raise my baby by yourself, I can’t have my baby not know who i am and I cannot have another man call my child his.” He said his voice getting louder, I just looked at him, not knowing what else I could say to him, we had a deal, he wasn’t supposed to get involved, he wasn’t supposed to want to get involved.
