Chapter 38


~~~~Christine's POV~~~~



"Mom, I'm pregnant." Rosie said. I stood there shocked and I didn't even that I was talking when I said, "WHAT?!" She stood there with her face full of happiness, but it soon dropped when she heard what I said. "What do you mean 'what'? This is a happy thing, mom." she said in an angry and frustrated tone. 

I had better calm her down because stress was in no way good for her or the baby, but I just couldn't help the anger boiling up inside me. This was my little girl who ran away from me, got married, had a child, and now is having another child.

I couldn't believe it. My child was having a child. "You can't have a baby!" I yelled. I could see the fury in her eyes and I noticed that Daniel tightened his grip on her hand. "Rosie, don't." he said in a low warning tone. Don't what? What will she do? "What do you mean that I can't have the baby? I can do whatever I want to. It's my life and I'll live it the way I want." she said angrily.

I was mad with her. How dare she speak to me like that! "Don't you take to me like that, young lady! I am your mother and you will do as I say!" I yelled back. I didn't mean to get angry at her, but I was just so fired up. Maybe it was because I was tired from the trip here.

Before I could walk away, Rosie said, "You know what mom, this is one of the reasons why I ran away. I was constantly being treated like a child! You never give me a break! Why do you think that I never went back? It was because you are constantly on my back! Back off and leave me alone!" And with that said, she ran to a different part of the house with tears in her eyes.

Daniel sighed and said, "You should have stopped when you were ahead." After he said that, he followed after his wife to comfort her. Suddenly, you could hear the faint sound of crying and my heart instantly broke. My daughter was heartbroken and upset and I caused it. She will never forgive me.


~~~~Rosie's POV~~~~


Why? Why would she say that?! She doesn't own me. She never owned me. She can't tell me that I can't have this baby. If she doesn't like it, then she should just leave me alone. I'll show her. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the sound of knocking on my door. "Rosie, can I come in?" It was Daniel. Of course I allowed him to enter. 

He came and sat down on the bed next to me and brought me into his chest and rubbed my back soothingly. "She didn't mean what she said. You know that, right?" he asked after a couple minutes of silence. I didn't answer. I couldn't answer. I knew that she meant it. Other mothers would be happy to know that their daughter was expecting, but no. Mine was not supportive. She couldn't tell me what to do. I am an adult. 

I didn't even know that I was crying until I heard the soft whispers in my ear from Daniel. He could always make me feel better, and that's why I loved him. "Listen to me. I will never let anyone hurt you, Felicity, or the baby. And no matter what, no one will make you give up the baby." he said and kissed my cheek and we settled onto the bed and fell asleep.
