Baby Love (Baby #2)(144)

"So what were the results?"

"The results were that Ian has a normal sperm count."

"Oh my God," I replied.

"Yep," she said, "So Tristan is all freaked out at me thinking that I purposely withheld this information about Ian hoping to trap him!"

"Damn it Gina," I hissed, "I told you that you should have told Tristan from the get!"

"Please Ty, no lectures!"

"So what happened at the end of your argument?" I asked. "By that time Trey and I were in the middle of our own because he accused me of covering for you."

"No shit?"

"Yeah, Gina no shit."

"Well Tristan told me that I have lied to him by omission and that he can't be with someone that he can't trust no matter how much he loves her. Then he left."

Gina started crying again.

"Don't cry Gina. Let's get Trey in here and explain everything to him. I know that he will understand once he hears your side of it."

"Trey's not here," she sobbed.

"What?"

"No…after he heard Tristan's side of the story the Hot Nazi ducked into the laundry room and got some street clothes on. They both left. I don't know where they went or if I will ever see my Tristan again," she sobbed.

I was reeling in disbelief. After the wonderful and magical evening that Trey and I had spent together how could he possibly have just walked out like that without telling me?

I was devastated and disappointed. I could understand if he wanted to console his brother; but why not let me know he was going out? Why had he put me into the middle of this?

Gina was still sobbing which I knew was not good for her condition. I needed to make her my first priority.

"Gina, I am going to make you some herbal tea and then we are going to get you into bed to rest okay?"

"Okay," she whimpered, still sobbing.

She was so vulnerable which was not Gina. I knew now that she was truly in love with Tristan and a mess over all of this.

I made her some herbal tea which seemed to relax her. I helped her change into her jammies and tucked her into bed convincing her that Trey and Tristan would talk and everything would be put into perspective. I bet her that Tristan would be back in her bed by the time she awoke the next morning. I think I succeeded in putting her mind at ease.

I crawled back into my bed. The bed where just a couple of hours earlier Trey and I had made love like we never had before; where we had declared our love and commitment to each other over and over again.

I buried my face into Trey's pillow smelling his scent and feeling my own tears as they burned a path down my cheeks.



EPILOGUE



North Bay Hospital, July 31, 2013.



I was pacing back and forth in front of Gina's hospital bed. I had my Blackberry up to my ear talking to Gina's Aunt Becky. Gina's mother was supposed to be here but since Gina was two week's early her mother had to make last minute arrangements at her job in New Jersey in order to get away.

"She is still at four centimeters Becky," I said. "When is her mom planning on getting in here?"

Just then Gina screamed out in pain.

"I gotta go Becky. She is having another contraction."

I hurried over to Gina's side and began coaching her just like she had coached me over a year ago.

"That's it Gina," I said soothingly, "He-he-he, again, he-he-he, that's right. You are doing great."

"Fuck this shit Ty! I need some meds!"

"Gina you have had all of the meds that they can give you at the moment. You will get your epidural once you reach five centimeters which hopefully will be really, really soon."

"I know that I've been a pain in the ass today to you Ty," she said. "It's just that we weren't expecting little junior this soon, you know?"

"I know Gina. It's fine. I've been there remember?"

"Yeah, I know you have Ty. Could I please have some more ice chips? They really seem to help."

"Of course Gina," I replied, grabbing the cup. "I will be right back with your ice chips."

I left her room and went out to the hallway heading down to where the ice machine was located. I decided to phone Jean to check up on Preston. She answered the phone quickly.

"Hi Jean, it's me. How is my baby girl doing?"

"Well she is perfect as always. Do you want to talk to her?"

"Yes please. Put her on the phone."

"Mommy," I heard Preston's sweet voice over the phone.

"Hi Preston," I said. "Aunt Gina is getting ready to have her baby. Isn't that exciting?"

"Baabyy!" she squealed laughing.

"Are you being good for Jean?" I asked her.

She said something I was not able to make out but she finished with a giggle so it must all be good I thought.

Preston was delighted with feeling my blossoming tummy that held her baby brother or sister. She was constantly laying her head across my belly trying to hear the baby as she called it.

"Mommy loves you now please give the phone to Jean," I instructed.

"Bye Mommy."

"Bye sweet girl."

Jean got back on the phone.
