“Who is Derrick?” the doctor asks.
I step forward and follow the doctor into her room.
“Hey, princess.” I smile, happy that she looks better, then suddenly she bursts into tears. I hug her, reassuring her that everything is going to be okay. “Si, what happened? What did thedoctors say? It can’t be that bad.” She chews on her bottom lip. “Vanessa’s here, sweetie, she’s waiting outside.”
Sienna looks relieved. “Tell her to come in. I need to see her. There’s something I have to tell you both. But please make sure Charlotte doesn’t come in. She can’t know, not yet.” Yvette says she will leave us alone. Weird but okay. I call Vanessa in, she looks confused but rushes over and hugs Sienna.
“I’m happy to see you alive,” Vanessa says, bursting into tears. “Shit, look at your face … all those bruises.”
“The doctors told me something, and I am freaking out,” Sienna confesses. “I’m pregnant.”
What the fuck!
Vanessa and I stare at each other. Did we hear her correctly? The silence in the room stretches out for far too long causing Sienna to start freaking out, her monitors going crazy.
“Calm down, Sienna, you’ll have a heart attack,” I tell her.
“Shit, Sisi. Evan’s outside,” Vanessa tells her, looking very conflicted.
The monitors go crazy again. “I can’t see him.”
“Calm down, you don’t have to see him. Not until you’re ready, okay.” Vanessa tries to calm her.
When Sienna seems to have herself under control she continues to explain about her pregnancy. “I’m ten weeks. How the hell did I not know I was pregnant? I had my period and everything.”
“Now it makes sense why you’ve been so sick. It’s been morning sickness.” I smile. My bestie is having a baby. She is going to make the best mummy. Think of the outfits, they are going to look gorgeous. I hope it’s a little girl so we can play dress up.
“You’re going to have to tell him,” Vanessa tells her.
“I know, but not yet.” The beeping of the machine goes off. “I don’t get why he’s here?”
“Did you hit your head in the accident, too? Why the hell do you think he’s here?” I tell her. Not that I am Team Evan at all, but the fact he showed up goes a small way in forgiving him.
“He’s been a mess, Sienna. The whole plane ride he’s been so worried about you,” Vanessa tells her, but this upsets her.
“I can’t see him. Not today. Not until I’ve processed what’s just happened. Not until I know everything is okay with the baby.”
“Christian, Blake, and Chance are here as well,” Vanessa states.
Sienna looks at me. “Chance?”
“Not sure what that’s about, but I’m happy to see him.” I smirk.
“Looks like he might care about you, D,” Sienna adds. I shrug. I’m not getting my hopes up. “You’re in the city of love, anything can happen. Spend the day with Chance tomorrow, okay?” Sienna insists.
“I’m not leaving you,” I tell her. No dick is worth not being there for my friend, even if it’s good dick.
“I’ll be okay. Please, promise me? Tomorrow is going to be crazy when I speak to Evan. Someone should be out there having fun because this will not be,” Sienna explains. I’m not happy about this but she and Evan do need to talk. Things have gotten complicated between them, and they are bringing a little baby into this world together.
Vanessa and I leave the hospital room, and neither of us can look at Evan knowing what we know. Ness leaves me and walks over to Christian, while I see Chance standing by himself and decide I’ll do what Sienna suggested and ask him to hang out.
Chance looks up at me and smiles as he pushes off the wall. “Hey, how is she?”
“She’s doing better. Her and Evan, I think, need to talk so we are going to give them some space,” I tell him. He nods. “Wouldyou like to hang out?” Chance’s brows rise. “Not sure if you’ve been to Paris before?”
“I haven’t,” he says.
“Maybe you need the Derrick Jones tour of Paris then?” I smirk.
