12:30PM. Danny was fast asleep, she could hear him snoring in the other room. She wondered if… just if he was still awake. If she was quiet enough, she would probably be able to sneak out of the house and check out his favorite hang-outs to see if she could find him. It was worth a shot. Danny would be angry as hell if she woke him up now.
Rachael got up quietly and opened the bathroom …show more content…
She was determined to see this through to the end, even if it meant Danny finding out. Rachael just hoped he stayed asleep until she got home. The alcohol should keep him out until at least six o’clock in the morning, if not later. That boy could drink like there was no tomorrow. Alcohol was her safe haven at times; it kept Danny at bay, so she could do things she needed to do without him watching her 24/7. It was her freedom.
“Okay, I believe you…” he admitted, reaching out and squeezing her shoulder gently.
Rachael let out a sigh of relief. Good, so she had one person on her side. Now they had to figure out the details of the plan. Was he going to be involved? Was he going to be there for the baby?

Perhaps this was the way things were meant to be this way in the first place. She just hoped this didn’t end in tragedy. She didn’t want anyone to die because of a one-night stand at a party.
“I want you to be in the baby’s life and mine. I want our baby to have a father, a father he or she knows. I want you to come to the appointments with me. I want you to eventually meet my parents since they should know who I’m having a baby with,” Rachael explained what she wanted him to be involved with. It wasn’t going to be easy; it was going to be a challenge. It wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
“Alright,” Alejandro agreed, nodding. “You know it won’t be easy for us to see each other, right?” She knew it wasn’t going to be easy from the start, but this is what she really
