I got out, still holding Chance, and went to get my stuff. I gave him the directions, and he turned through streets and streets, until we were at the parking lot my car had been parked in for months. "Ok, so where have you been staying?" he asked. I breathed in the sweet smell of his car, something I'd missed so much. Afterwards, Shiloh, Chance and I got in his car. Shiloh paid for the bill, even though I insisted that I could work there or something to pay it off.

Later, the nurse said Chance was free to go home. I nodded, and slowly turned my gaze back to Chance. "We'll go get a motel room or something," he explained. Let's go." I pursed my lips and studied him. The thought of giving up my baby for a second time frightened me. "Adoption?!" Shiloh said, as if it was an obvious answer. "And what about Chance?! And I can't go back home! Dad said if I ever had a kid before marriage he'd kill me! I'm sure he means it too!" I shouted back. "Who cares what people are going to think?! You can go home! Go back to school! And get a life!" I rolled my eyes. "Because! What am I going to do?! I leave for almost a year, and come back with a kid?! What are people going to think?!"

"Shiloh, I don't think I can go back." He clenched his fists. The tone in his voice told me he knew what I was getting at. "What do you mean? Why can't you tell them?" he asked. But on the other hand, he was also in jail for possible murder. On the one hand, I was ecstatic that Ty got what he deserved. When you went missing, he told the police that he feared Ty killed you or something." Then he threatened you to stay quiet about it. I looked up, and saw Shiloh standing there, absolutely shocked. My heart melted and I went to his side, and stroked his thin, soft dark hair. He yawned, and stretched his tiny little hands above his head and then curled them into fists. He was asleep, and I was relieved to hear that his breathing was easing up and didn't sound so labored anymore. There were two humidifiers by his bed one on either side. My baby was asleep in one of those incubator/bed things that they put babies in after their first born. I squeezed Shiloh's hand once before opening the door. The door was closed, and I took a deep breath. I took Shiloh's hand in mine and walked down the hall, to the room I had been informed Chance was being held. I could almost see him jumping to conclusion in his mind. "You can go see him now," she said quietly, then smiled and left. All of a sudden a nurse came up behind me, and put her hand on my shoulder.

I stood up, and fiddled with my fingers, trying to figure out how to tell the story lightly. Then he tried to ask the obvious question.

I didn't know what to say, so we sat their in silence for a long time. I just shook my head and leaned into another hug. "No one's going to kill you," he said, sounding like when a parent tries to assure there are no monsters under their bed. "They'll kill me," I managed to say before another round of hysterics swept me away. I calmed down after a long while, and we sat down on the couch in the hospital lobby. Back to where either Ty or Dad would quite literally kill me. You're ok now." I nodded, even though I wasn't sure those words were true. He rubbed soothing circles in my back with his arm and whispered in my ear. I just tightened my grip around his waist and cried my eyes out. His short brown hair, amazing brown eyes, and the small hint of a smile. Even though I could barely see, I could still see his beautiful features. "Kodi, I swear if I wasn't so happy to see you, I'd kill you right now." I peered up through my blinding tears at him. "Oh my fucking." the voice said, but didn't finish. My cries came out in staggered breaths I hyperventilated. I whimpered when two strong hands grabbed the tops of my arms and lifted me up to my feet.

I wanted to keep myself open, but instead I cowered in fear. One foot went this way, the other went that way.
