Chapter 4 Roommates

Dylan POV - Age - 21
I walk in my room to meet my roommates.
-I seem to have interrupted.
?-Not at all.
??-We were just talking about you.
-Yeah?
???-The last one not here, reasons for being the last one here.
-Getting my paperwork. Names first.
Zack-I'm Zack, that's Julian and that's Ray.
-Dylan.
Za-So, back to why you were late. You mentioned paperwork.
Ju-Did your girlfriend go with you?
-Impossible. She's getting hers forestry at Yale.
They all shut up about that before they get asking again.
-What about your parents? Tell me yours and I'll tell you mine.
Za-I got my dad, no mother or siblings. I study here because of my brain not money.
Julian-I got money and brain to get in here. Both parents alive and annoying so trust me, I studied hard to get here and away from them.
Ray-I'm an orphan. My savior helped me get here. He's sad to let me go as I'm his best worker but he knows is the best choice.
-I came here to study but it might also be my best chance to move out of home into my own place. I still have to figure that bit out.
Zack-Do you have any siblings?
-I got more than enough. Three of them are in college too, they skipped ahead.
Ju-How many do you have?
I sit up and pondering a bit I sigh and tell them.
-I got 20 siblings. 12 full blood and 8 step siblings. I'm the second oldest.
Ray-You got 20 siblings!?
Za-That is way too many.
-Is crazy loud but we get along.
Ju-How were you all born? I mean, it can't be easy for one woman to be pregnant so many times.
-Not as many. There are 6 single pregnancies, three sets of triplets and three sets of twins. I'm a single.
Zack-How many sisters?
-None available for any of you three.
Za-Aw come on.
Ju-Don't be like that.
Ray-It might happen.
-Don't talk about it. If it happens, we'll see but now, let's just be friends and forget my sisters.
We settle down and so we start studying and become the best of friends.

We don't go out ever, Halloween passes, then Thanksgiving, Christmas, Saint valentines and then the spring break comes around. Being the last break we decide to take it at Virginia Beach. Also, our teachers didn't gave any extra work to make us go on vacation so we are going.
-Are we ready then?
Za-Yes.
Ju-Definitely.
Ray-Let's go.
So we leave. That evening as we get to the hotel by the beach I go to a certain room for a moment and I knock on the door. When it opens we're so happy we don't care.
Dal-Darling.
I bend down holding her face in a deep kiss before we get interrupted from indoors.
?-Dalilah. Should we assume he's your boyfriend and the baby's father?
Dal-The one and only.
-I'm Dylan.
?-I'm Lucy. Her personal assistant. I'm on my last year of maternity studying and because of age gap I got to study with her?
She shrugs not knowing how to speak.
-You're a practicing prenatal care or gynecologist?
Lu-A bit of both but this is what I want to care for. Pregnancies. She's supposed to be my test but she's my friend, my support and my confident.
-How is the baby?
Lu-Cared for, loved and healthy. He kicks but is not common. He moves in her but doesn't kick for me much.
Dal-He does kick.
Lu-You feel it. He kicks only for you.
Dalilah laughs as Lucy leaves with the things and I walk with her downstairs slowly.
-How's Yale?
Dal-Is good. My career allows me to be relaxed and outdoors and Lucy is with me so my studies are not falling behind at all.
-When is the baby due?
Dal-March, I'm a bit scared. Will you be able to come?
-I'll find a way. Gender and name?
Dal-You got to come and find out.
I sigh but still is alright.
Dal-I have a name already.
-Is alright. As long as your happy. I can't believe that one time was all it took for our baby to come.
Dal-And the timing.
-Should we get married then?
Dal-The baby, although welcome, was not planned. I want oir wedding to be planned.
-After you finish college then.
She nods and as we get to the car I help her inside.
Dal-I'm sad we have to leave so soon.
-Our brief meeting. Is somehow special.
Lu-I need one of your brothers.
-The next one is at least 10 years younger than you.
Lu-Oh well.
-One last thing before you leave.
They look at me quizzically and I just reach out for her pregnant belly. I poke it at first before I caress it finger by finger until I finally manage to get my entire hand to caress her belly. I'm embarrassed about it but I stay there for a minute before I finally let go.
-Next time I'll be charging the baby.
Lu-We'll be in contact as always.
I nod and pulling away I let them leave. She is the only other reason why I came early.

Dalilah POV  - Age - 21
I am sentimental for most of the way back to Yale. I cry for moments, sleep, eat and just think.
The next month passed extremely slow and uncomfortable for me. I walked outside or sit outside, in the greenhouse garden if it was raining but still, I studied and did everything as I should and the studying actually helped me sleep deeply despite my big belly. I'm so tired by March and nervous about it. She should be born any day now. I'm making some plans to save a forest when my nurse calls me out.
Lu-Dalilah, is time for your last prenatal appointment.
-I know. I'm weak and in pain right now.
Lu-How are your contractions?
-I don't know anything right now. Just take me there and we'll see what happens. Please.
She does as asked but still, in the hospital we get very surprised by the chief gynecologist.
?-Oh my god.
Lu-What happened?
?-She is halfway through giving birth!
-What?
?-Easy relax. Back to how you were.
Lu-Go. Sit back and relax.
-I'm scared.
Lu-Is alright. I'll call Dylan if you relax.
-Ok. He's coming. Two hours. Maybe three. One, two, three................
I keep counting and I manage to relax amongst all the doctors coming and going. They prepare me for birth. For me is just a blur of activity. I don't know what happens or what not. I only recognize Lucy for moments but otherwise my mind is a blur and so is my vision.
In a moment I just give up and everything goes black as I pass out.

To be continued...................
