Together Alone - Part 2 up -

I walked in. My heart sighed in relief.
A life away from Dane!
I walked into the first room on my left. ‘Bless!’ I thought, as I looked around. My older sister Jade must have painted, and decorated the room. I can’t believe how quickly everything was moving, considering I’d only announced my pregnancy five weeks ago. Luckily Jade had reacted better than Dane had. The tears welled up in my eyes.
I’d never lived alone before....
Shortly afterwards, Jade opened the door.
‘So do you like it then Alex?’ Jade asked.
‘Yeah, it’s great. I love the way you’ve assumed it’s going to be a boy though...’
‘I’ll have you know; blue is an extremely neutral colour!’ Jade replied jokingly.
I rolled my eyes; as usual she has to boss me around, I got the feeling I’d soon regret living near her.
‘Is it better than sunny Texas then doll?’ Jade said as she interrupted my thought.
I shrugged.
‘Dane's in Texas’ I sighed.
Jade looked at me disappointed before waving a finger in my face.
‘He cheated on you hun... He doesn’t deserve a second chance’ Jade added before wrapping her arm around me.
‘But Jade... It’s not fair. Dane’s the baby’s father. I can’t deny this kid a dad can I?’
‘Anyone can be a father Al but it takes someone special to be a dad and I’m afraid you aren’t going to find a dad in Dane. C’mon he’s messed your head up enough....’ Jade questioned.
‘Can I at least have contact with him? To update him about the baby and everything’ I asked - I don’t know why I was asking my sister for permission to talk to Dane but I guess just needed the reassurance that my decision was the right one.
Jade nodded before adding ‘Just make sure he doesn’t fool with you mind girl. Otherwise he’ll find you and you’ll be putty in his hands. He’ll make you come back to him. He’s that type.’
I hated getting the lectures but I knew somehow she was right. I repeated to myself as I said goodbye to Jade: ‘Reveal nothing to Dane’
The next day, I went to the ultrasound that I booked at the hospital two weeks ago. It felt strange going to a different hospital to my old one. But I kept on reminding myself that I was better off in California then I ever was going to be in Texas.
The appointment went well, and when I saw the foetus inside of me all I could think about was Dane. The nurse zoomed in on the foetus so the head filled the screen. I stared lovingly at the black and white imagine in front of me. The smile on my face seemed to be glued as the doctor went to the other side of the room; I lay back and day dreamed:
‘I have to tell Dane’
‘Dane?’ I asked nervously as someone the other side of the receiver picked up. ‘ The baby. It’s well and it’s healthy and it’s err.... doing fine’
‘Tell someone who cares!’ A female voice said.
It was Dane’s new girl. I could tell by the anger in her voice.
‘He’s not home anyway’ the female voice said bluntly before hanging up.
I turned away, ashamed that Dane’s new girl now knew about my little baby.
I can’t believe I was so naive to even think about ringing him.
‘I really am doing a crap job at hating him’ I said to myself as I covered my hands over my face, disappointed at myself.
I tried to dial his cell number. My fingers seemed to go number with every key I pressed. My heart pounded loudly.
I stopped.
I turned away from the phone once I had put down the receiver.
All I wanted to do was cry.
‘Damn girl, you need to go for a walk’ my conscious instructed me.
....Walking down to the grocery store I saw him...

Feel free to leave any constructive criticism!
Astral Faery:
Whoa! It's a whole new story, lol. But that's okay - it starts off well. I like the main character and am looking forward to finding out what happened with Dane, and who it is that she sees. Good job so far.
