4 - Visiting Day
Becky
I woke up around a hour ago, I've been sick twice. I'm surprised I didn't wake Ashley, I suppose she's used to lots of loud noises. The sickness is coming back in a stronger wave, I rush to my feet and just about make it to the toilet. I hear the metal bed creak and I know I've woken Ashley.
"You alright?"
"No, all I've been doing this morning is being sick."
"You could've woken me."
"I wanted to let you sleep, I'm sorry for waking you."
Ashley
Something sprung to mind, no she can't be. Oh what if she is, she'll probably still be in jail and we won't be in the same unit. Now I feel slightly unwell, the combination of hearing Becky being sick might just push me off the edge. She really can't be joining the mothers club especially not now.
"Ashley?"
"Yeah."
"You don't think I'm pregnant do you?"
"It might have crossed my mind."
"I can't be pregnant, I'm gonna be in jail for my entire pregnancy. Ash we'd better hope I'm not pregnant. I'm really not ready to be a mother. Oh I feel sick."
I kindly pulled her hair out of her face as she was sick once again. Our door opened and a female officer walked in.
"Everything alright in here?"
"No not really."
"Well what's the matter."
I looked over at Becky and she nodded at me. I knew what I had to say.
"She thinks she might be pregnant."
"Oh god, ladies I came to get you because it's visiting time. Can we sort the pregnancy issue after?"
"Yeah of course. Who's here to see us?"
"For you Ashley there's a man named Joe and Becky theres two people ones called Krisi and the others Colby."
I could feel my heart rate quickening, I honestly don't know how's he's gonna respond. I hope he isn't too mad or scared. I hope Colby's letting Joe help with the twins. I hope he's doing alright and I hope the twins are doing alright. I hand Becky a towel so she could dry her face. Afterwards we got taken down a long white corridor until we reached a glass door. A bell rang and the door opened, it felt like everyone was staring into my soul it was very uncomfortable. I pulled Becky towards our people and tried to ignore the whispers. I better get used to it, I'm gonna get it way worse in jail. I sat down and I couldn't read the expression on Joes face, he looked happy, sad , angry and confused all at the same time.
"Look I'm sorry-"
"No, I'm sorry Ashley. I said I was gonna leave Galina but instead I screwed things over between us. I know your behind bars but I really hope somehow we can make this work."
For the first time in my life, I really didn't know what to say.
Colby
I could tell from the minute she sat down something was wrong. She looked sad and tried to weakly smile to cover it up. I feel terrible for what happened and clearly something is tearing her apart. So maybe if I make amends she'll think about telling me.
"Look Rebecca, What happened in the hospital was entirely my fault and I'm willing to take the blame for my mistakes. When I get the chance I plan to apologise to Ashley, but I know it may not seem like it but I was trying to do what I thought was best and I'm just sorry for not just talking about it before hand."
"I don't kn-"
"I'm not done, our entire relationship we've have little bumps in the road and I'm just sorry I should've been more of a supportive boyfriend. I should've thought about how you were feeling, I understand why you were trying to protect Ashley but I guess I was kinda jealous and extremely selfish."
"Colby."
"What I'm trying to say is I love you and if we weren't already engaged I would be proposing to you once mor- ."
"Stop please."
"I'm just trying to appreciate my woman."
"Colby why aren't you listening to me god dammit."
She slammed her hand on the table causing everyone to fall silent and look in our direction.
"Colby, I did what I did for the right reasons. Since you arrived all I've wanted to do is talk to you but your too busy getting your guilty conscience off your chest. You haven't even asked how I am! Maybe next time before getting your word in let me speak."
I could feel the anger radiating off her, everyone was still staring in silence.
"My career, hell my whole life is fucking ruined. Just let that sink in for a second. If you were in my shoes you'd understand."
I looked over at Ashley and she didn't help me if anything the panicked look on her face just made me all the more nervous. The people nearby starting talking and the silence was leaving for everyone but me and Becky.
"What's this all about Becks."
"I could be pregnant but did you bother to ask why I look so terrible, no."
"I didn't want to offend you."
"Where's Krisi."
"Couldn't make it, but wait what?!? You could be pregnant!?! Becky I don't know what to say!?!?"
"I'm so fucking terrified you actually have no idea, being pregnant and in jail."
"Is it confirmed?"
"Not yet. But it's only so long until I find out and my life somehow manages to get worse."
I know it's not allowed but I grabbed Becky's face and pulled her in for a kiss, I heard the blow of an officer whistle so I pulled away.
"I'm gonna get you out of here, I promise."
The almost deafening bell goes off once again signalling that visitor time is over. I see everything in Becky's face, I see how scared she is, I see how sad she is and I can also see a brave person hiding behind her eyes. I know she can do this, I know she can hold on just a little while longer. I will be by her side every step of the way, just like I have been with everything else. I do feel like a terrible person for what happened just now, Becky is scared and I was just trying to comfort her but I just made things worse. Her trial is tomorrow and she could be pregnant so I understand why she lost her cool with me. I've wanted it be a dad for so long but just not like this.
Joe
It's been nice to be able to talk to Ashley, I know she's putting on a brave face. She's trying to be strong for Becky, which is understandable I just wish I could do something to help. I'm gonna drive over to Becky's house now that the police have released it and get a room ready for the twins. I think it'll be a really nice thing to do and it'll keep my mind off the Galina x Ashley drama. I want to be with Ashley but I need my kids so I'm stuck in the middle, I desperately wish I wasn't. I pull up outside Becky's house and notice Colby's car is also here. I push open the door and see Colby on the floor. It looks as if he's holding a photo. The floorboard creaks and he sees me. He drops the picture in defeat and I can hear he's crying. I feel terrible knowing exactly how he feels right now. I do the right thing and give him a hug. I notice he's holding a picture of Becky and him after they got engaged. I understand why he's crying, I didn't get to make many great memories with Ashley and it's all my fault.
"Hey, oh what's going on."
"And you are?"
"Krisi, Krisi Lopez. I thought we'd met before. Nobody around here seems to have met me before."
Becky
I had waited the two minutes, I felt extremely nervous. I grabbed the stick and flipped it over and was met with two dreaded lines. I think I need to be sick again.
