Broken Doesn't Mean Fixed

Being Broken Can't Be Fixed

Harley's POV
- - -
As I approach Skylars room I'm not sure what to expect. I was just called by the hospital and told Skylar was fine to go see. I place my hand on the silver knob and wait for my body to be ready for whatever laid on the other side. I slowly turn the knob and shove open the door. I see a make up less Skylar with messy blonde locks in a high bun holding a...baby? Skylars eyes dart up into mine and her face drops. She tried to stand up and I swiftly make my way over to her. I put my hand on her shoulder and she just sits there in shock.

"Please don't let the girls come in," she pleads with a soft voice. I nod and rush over to the door before they could see Sky. I shut the door slowly and make my way back over to Skylar. I lay eyes on the beautiful baby she holds in her hands and touch her jet black locks softly.

"Her name is Olivia," Skylar smiles to herself.

"Wow that's a beautiful name for a beautiful baby," I chuckle while admiring her. But one question rushed through my mind more than anything. Is she mine? And as if Skykar was reading my mind she answered.

"Yes she is. She's yours. She's mine..." Skylar trails off, as if ashamed this adorable creature is hers. I put my finger under Skylars chin and lift it to make eye contact.

"She has your eyes," I smile trying to cheer her up "I'm couldn't be happier," I explain to Skylar. She tries to smile but shows a quivering lip.

"I can't do this Harley," she blurts out with a hurt tone. My eyes drop and feel tears well up. Almost as if I wanted to keep this creation. I don't know if I could do it either but I would sure as hell try. "I'm what, 19? 18? I can't even remember but I'm sure as hell not old enough to be a mom. What if she finds out about my past? What if he turns out like me?" Skylar tries to convince me. I don't take it and just look at Olivia. "We're not old enough," she corrects herself. I shake my head and turn away for a second.

"Skylar, she's going to have your eyes, I already know that. She's going to have my hair and probably your jawline. She'll have my lips most likely and have your skinny nose. She'll be a tall beautiful woman with a bright future. She'll want to be just like her mom her whole life and she'll try even harder to be more than you just to make you happy. Skylar, she's ours and we should embrace it," I explain as my voice gets shaky. Skylar turns me around and hands me Olivia lightly. I put my phone down and I take the tiny baby girl into my arms and stroke her soft chubby cheeks.

"I'm glad you think we can do this Harley. I love you so much," Skylar sits up and kisses me on the cheek. The bathroom door across the room swings open the reveal a strawberry blonde girl with long curls.

"Oh hi. Sorry," she quickly peeps.

"No, Cara, it's fine," Skylar motions for her to come closer. She approaches cautiously and sits on the edge of the bed slowly. I smile kindly her way and she tilts her head.

"Daddy Harley?" She asks Skylar pointing at me. Skylar nods and Cara checks me out with squinted her eyes, as if trying to determine if I was a right fit for a baby. "Okay," she finally shrugs her shoulders. I try to laugh it off but Cara gives me a deep glare making me wonder what she was told about me.

I look down to Olivia again and give her to Skylar carefully.

"I'm going to go tell the others you're okay but you aren't feeling well," I explain to Skylar. Skylar nods and I slowly hop over to the door and open it slowly. I close it softly and turn around to see Cassidi and Rein with wide eyes, scared for Skylar I assume. "Hey guys," I finally speak out and they're zoned out eyes meet up with mine and both girls uncurl their knees and stand up quickly.

"What's the news?!" Cassidi screams, scared of what would come out.

"If you don't tell me now, I will cut you," Rein explains. I put my hands up and smile so they calm down a bit.

"She's okay. She isn't up for anymore visitors. She's about to fall asleep so I've gotta go tuck her in. I'll be back out in a sec," I try to turn around but feel a firm, cold grip on my wrist.

"What...happened?" Rein says firmly. I look down at her pale, skinny hand and shake it off.

"Her appendix was removed that's all!" I lie. Rein accepts it and let's go sitting back down with Cassidi across the hall. I slip back into the room swiftly. And tip toe up to Skylar. "Hey Sky I've got to go. I love you," I grab her face and kiss her on the lips. I lean down and kiss Olivia on the head right after and then have a flash of me watching a dance recital with 20 little girls in pink tutus but only being able to see Olivia. I smile to myself. "Okay see you later," I quickly finish. I begin to walk away but I hear Skylars soft voice speak up.

"Calum, I love you more than life," she smiles looking like she's about to cry.

"And I love you more than my world because you are my world," I sag trying to get her to giggle. I succeed and see as Cara grabs her hand letting me know I could go.

I exit the room and grab Cassidi and Rein then exit the hospital halls and out to the car all in silence.

"Will she be okay?" Cassidi asks.

"When she's ready to see you guys she'll call you up," I mention to both the girls. We all slide into my truck, me, probably feeling the best of us all. I knew Skylar wouldn't be ready to tell them for a while. I feel my pocket to text Jack everything was okay but I realize I left it in Skylars room. I turn to the girls and laugh at my clumsy move.

"Sorry girls but I left my phone under Skylars pillow. I'll be back," I explain while getting out of the car. I run in, glad I get to see Olivia one more time (and of course the love of my life, Skylar) and turn down the long hall. I hear a nurse worriedly whisper to a doctor as I turn into her room and see a clean, empty bed with my phone laying in the middle. I walk over cautiously thinking Skylar might jump out at me.

I turn the corner to see no one else lays in the room except for me. I check the baby bed to see no Olivia either. They must have gone on a walk. I walk over and grab my phone and feel a sheet of paper under it. I lay my phone down and grab the piece of paper and take a seat to read it.

Dear my loving Harley,

This is the hour I've been dreading since I woke up then found out I gave birth to a baby girl. I was so scared and I don't think anyone will ever understand. I need you to know I didn't know that one of my guy friends would end up being the love of my life. Can I just say thank you for being there for a lost, lonely girl. Please tell Cassidi and Rein they're my daughters aunties now. Wheatear they like it or not. Please, please never blame yourself for this right here. Take good care of our beautiful creation my love,

Skylar.
