Part 9 - The Fame

Me

Oh, great. She just hung up on me. I felt how my eyes went teary. I just wished for her understanding for once and not just ignorance. She is Bill's mother after all. I am in love with Bill and we're going to have a baby together, i can't believe she chose to push me away instead of just being happy for me and him. I curled up under a blanket in our big bed and buried my face in the pillow. I couldn't help it, but i just bursted out in tears. So... i was going to carry a baby and Simone didn't even wanted it for me and Bill. It felt great... yeah, really. I heard someone coming into the room. His worried voice came closer to me.
- Baby!? What's going on, he said and sat next to me on the bed.

He started to stroke my hair, crawled down under the blanket, wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. He started to nuzzle my neck carefully. I couldn't stop crying. He wiped off a tear from my cheek.

- Tell me, baby. It will feel better for you.
- So... i started. I called Simone... about the pregnancy thing.
- What did she say? he asked.
- Not too much. She hung up on me.
He pulled his fingers trough my hair and started to whisper sweet things in my ear.

- Everything will be alright, baby. We will sort things out with her. I'll call her, okay?
I nodded. But i still felt terrible.
- Bill... it feels like she hates me.
- She don't, baby. She don't hate you.

Bill

Only to make her feel better i just said that my mom didn't hate her. I know she didn't hate her, but... i knew that she always had been negative when it came to our relationship. Unfortanly she had to change those opinions, because i had plans on making this girl mine. She was already mine, but make her mine... more. I knew that someday i would make her my wife. I just had to. I held her really close, with my arms around her neat body. I could hear her heart beat.
- Can you please call her now, baby? she said and looked at me.
- Ofcourse.
I kissed her forehead lightly.

I heard her pick up the phone.
- Hey mom.
I was being short on purpose, to make her understand that i wanted to bring up something serious.

- Hey Bill. It was a long time ago since i heard from you. I've missed you a lot, she said´with a pretty happy voice.
- I missed you too mom. I just wanted to talk to you about one thing...
- Yeah, sure. What is it son?
I took a deep breath and decided to go straight to the subject.
- I think you're treating my girl in the wrong way, she never did...
She cutted me off before i even finished my scentece.
- Bill, you know that your relationship with her is wrong.

- You can at least let me finish, mom.

She was quiet.
- Why do you need to treat her like you do? Yes, she is a couple of years younger than me, but she's over 18.

- She's over 18... now. She wasn't when you met.

- So what's wrong about our relationship?
I sounded upset. I couldn't help it.
- Everything Bill. Everything. I just can't stand this. You know it wont last forever. It's just ridicolous. Just another of your short relationships.

- MOM!
She hung up on me.
I was so pissed off. First she told me that she didn't believe in me and her, then she told me that our relationship wasn't going to last and then... she hung up on me!? I felt anger run trough my body.

I was so disapointed in her. Why would she treat me and my baby like this? I went back to our bedroom. She looked at me and even smiled a bit. So beautiful. She waited for me to say how the call went.
- Well... she hung up on me,
- On you too?
She sat up in the bed quickly and looked shocked with her mouth opened a bit.
- I can't believe her... she sighed.
- Not me either, honestly, i said.
- Come here, baby.
She held me in her arms and rocked me tenderly.
- Everything will be alright, we'll fix this.
She suddenly took the role and comforted me. Her calm voice really helped me. I started to cry softly. We crawled down under the blanket again, where we could be safe. It was so warm. In fact i was cold, but with her i always felt warm. My love for her was so strong and endless. Für immer es und ich. I don't remember anything after that. I think i fell asleep in her arms.
