Chapter 5
The Things We Do

Hailey walked around the kitchen holding John in her arms as she fed him. He was two months old now and he was just the cutest baby. "Alright John," Hailey said putting his bottle in the sink and then placing him in his car seat. "You ready to go to day care?" She asked and then buckled him in as Chris walked in.

"Good morning." He said happily and Hailey turn her head to smile at him and then back at John.

"Good morning to you too." Hailey said equally as happy and put her back pack on. Today was her first day back at school, even though there was only two weeks left of school Hailey was eager to go back.

"Mackenzie wanted me to tell you that she misses you." He said and Hailey sighed as she picked up John's car seat.

"Well, thanks for telling me but I'm not talking to her for a while." Hailey whispered and stared down at John. Once Mackenzie's parents found out about Hailey being pregnant they demanded that Mackenzie stop being friends with her. Hailey hated Mackenzie and never wanted to talk to her again.

"Hailey, it's not Mackenzie's fault-" Chris said but Hailey raised her hand to cut him off.

"I don't care Chris, if she was my true friend she still would've continued being my friend." She said sternly and Chris sighed as he nodded his head then looked down at his son.

"Hey John, you ready for day care?" Chris asked and John giggled.

"About the day care, thank you so much Chris. It means so much that you would spend your paycheck on him." Hailey said softly and Chris looked back up at her.

"He's my son right? Plus, I didn't want either of us to drop out of school to stay home with John. We need to show him that we may have made an accident when we were younger but we became adults and still focused on our education." Chris said and Hailey smiled a little. He cares so much about John and it made Hailey so happy.

"You're right." She said and then they left for school.

They walked into the school and Hailey smiled. "So glad to be here," She sighed and then turned to Chris. "Thank you for the ride." She said and then gave him a quick hug before taking off to class. Chris smirked as he watched her walk off to class and chuckled. God, she was just too cute he thought to himself and then shook his head.

Matt noticed Hailey give him a hug and then walk off to class and jealousy seemed to bubble up inside of him. He walked up to Chris angrily and stopped right in front of him. "What's going on between you and my girlfriend?" Matt demanded and Chris stared at him like he was crazy.

"Nothing, why?" Chris demanded back.

"Cause all she seems to do lately is talk about how great of a Dad you turned out to be and I'm starting to get suspicious that this whole 'Dad of The Year' show you're putting on for everyone is all an act just so you can get back with Hailey." Matt sneered and Chris stared at him in shock.

"John is my son. John's my son, Hailey is only the Mother of my child and I thank her for giving me such a great baby, but I am not putting on an act for anyone understand? I love that baby more than anything in my life! The only thing that matters to me is him and-" He cut himself off quickly before he said Hailey's name. Hailey was the only thing that mattered to him, he loved Hailey but no one could know that.

"And?" Matt edged on knowing he was gonna say Hailey but Chris just shook his head.

"And myself." Chris said bitterly and then stormed off to class.

Hailey sat in her English class and looked over at Matt who was already smiling at her which caused her to blush. Matt texted her and she opened the text under her desk: "Hailey, I wanna make love to you...". Hailey looked up at him like he was crazy and shook her head angrily and ignored him for the rest of the class.

Chris dropped Hailey and John off and they walked inside. "Today was exhausting." Hailey groaned as she started unbuckling Johnathan out of his car seat. Chris chuckled and nodded his head.

"Yeah, it is." He said and then took John from her. "You go rest on the couch, I'll feed John and put him to sleep." He said sweetly and Hailey smiled.

"Thank you so much Chris, it really means a lot." Hailey sighed as she collapsed on to the couch. Her shirt slid down a little showing her cleavage and Chris couldn't help but stare. Hailey stared at him confused wondering why he was staring at her chest and then she looked down to notice what had happened. She looked back at him questioningly and he just stood there as her heart began to race against her chest.

"I'll um, be right back." He said quickly and then walked in to the kitchen. Hailey let out a deep breath and then Matt barged in.

"Why are you ignoring me?" He asked and Hailey groaned as she slowly sat up again.

"Matt, just go okay? I'm too tired to deal with this." Hailey sighed and placed her head in her hands.

"No, I wanna make love to you Hailey! We've been dating for almost nine months now and I wanna show you how much I love you." He shouted and Chris stopped in the hallway outside of John's room and spied on their conversation.

"Maybe," Hailey shot up off the couch and stormed up to him angrily. "I just had a baby." She shouted back and then he just stared at her. Chris walked in to the living room with his arms folded against his chest.

"Is everything alright?" He asked and Matt stared at him angrily.

"What's he doing here?" Matt demanded and Hailey rolled her eyes.

"I'm here to take care of my kid." Chris sneered and Matt rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I'm sure you are." Matt said sarcastically and then looked back at Hailey. "I can't do this anymore, I could be a way better Dad for Johnathan than he can but you won't give me the chance." Matt said tiredly and then left.

Hailey took in a ragged breath and wiped the tears that fell from her eyes. "All because I didn't freaking want to have sex." Hailey whispered to herself and Chris stared at the ground, it was his fault that they broke up and he knew it.

"I'm sorry Hailey." He whispered and Hailey looked up at him angrily.

"It's your fault I'm like this!" She exclaimed and he just stared at her. "I can't have sex with my boyfriend because I already have a baby. It's all your fault!" She sobbed and he stared at her with a blank expression on his face.

"It's not just my fault Hailey." Chris informed her and she looked up at him. "You wanted to have sex with me too. I didn't pressure you into staying that night! It's both of our faults, I already feel bad enough-"

"You feel bad?" She asked sarcastically. "The only reason you feel bad is because you got me pregnant, but I bet if I hadn't gotten pregnant you would've just continued treating me the way you treat all the girls you played." She said bitterly.

"I hate you." He said angrily and tears swelled up in Hailey's eyes.

"You wanna be like that, then fine. I hate you too." She sobbed and his jaw clenched as he tried not to cry.

"You have no right to hate me anymore Hailey. I'm a great Dad to John, I take care of him. I didn't leave you guys, I could have but I didn't. I love him and I love you!" He shouted as tears welled up in his eyes angrily and his face began to turn red. Hailey stared at him in shock, he had just told her he loved her. He didn't care anymore, she needed to know the truth. "I haven't slept with a girl since I found out you were pregnant, yeah I may have dated Cara but it wasn't even dating. We didn't do anything not even kiss because I loved you!" He shouted and Hailey took in a ragged breath as more tears fell from her face.

"I don't love you anymore Chris." Hailey croaked and he stared at her with red rimmed eyes. They both knew she was lying but it still hurt that she said that to him.

"You can't keep pushing me away Hailey," He exclaimed tiredly and Hailey closed her eyes tightly letting more tears fall. "I've been trying ever since John's been born to show you how much I've changed. I am not dating anyone, Hell I haven't even checked out another girl because I just want to be with you. You can't, you-you just can't!" He yelled and Hailey took in a ragged breath and stared at him seriously.

"Actually, I can. This is what's best for me, I don't want to love you anymore Chris..." Hailey whispered and a small sob escaped her lips. Chris bit on his bottom lip as he placed his hand over his mouth and clamped his eyes shut. When he reopened his eyes tears fell and he removed his hand from his mouth.

"You don't wanna love me anymore." He repeated and took in a deep breath. "I'm leaving." He said angrily and stormed out of her house. Hailey sobbed once he was gone and so did John.

She walked into his room and picked John up out of his crib and tried to rock him back and forth soothingly as she cried. "I know baby, I know. I'm sorry, but Mommy had to do this." She whispered to her son and kissed the side of his head as he began to quiet down.
