oakley's pov
"i'm sorry..." pau muttered.
all i could think was there's no fucking way she thinks jack is the father of our baby. i felt a fire light within me and there was lightning striking in my veins. i wanted to throw and destroy everything near me.
i wanted to tell paulina right then and there that she's carrying my baby but i was too afraid to jeopardize her actually remembering. she sat there in the hospital bed, watching my expression turn to anger.
i didn't want pau to "remeet" me like this. i let out a breath and tried my absolute hardest to remain calm. "don't apologize pau" i said plainly. "i let your parents know that i was visiting... they should be on there way soon" i added.
"my parents... my dad lives in the uk so i doubt he'll be showing up" pau said. oh yeah she forgot they got re engaged. i felt so weird. i didn't know what i could or couldn't say around her. "i think he will..." i said. 
paulina's hospital gown started draping off her shoulder. my instincts told me to adjust it so without hesitating, i did. "your gown is untied..." i said, trying to fix it. her shoulders tensed. i hope i wasn't making her uncomfortable.
"i feel kind of embarrassed that you have to see me like this" she looked up at me with a light tint of pink spread across her cheeks. i offered a kind smile and continued to tie her gown to ensure it wouldn't slip off again. 
"don't be embarrassed" i said. 
"why are you being so nice to me?" paulina asked. 
"maybe because i love you"
oop. i scattered to think of how to explain myself. pau just smiled at me, the way she does when she gets shy. for a second i almost forgot that she doesn't remember exactly who i am.
we spoke for a few more minutes before both pau's mum and dad entered the hospital room. that was basically my cue to leave. "dad?" pau was shocked to see her father. girl, i told you he was coming.
adrienne, pau's mum, nodded for me to walk out with her and so we did. "what has she told you?" adrienne asked. i crossed my arms. i tried my best to separate my feelings from what i was going to say.
"she thinks jack is the father of the baby" i stated. adrienne's jaw dropped. "it kinda hurt that she didn't even think to think i could've been an option... like she's forgotten me forever" i added. 
"i don't believe paulina could forget you forever, oakley. don't give up on her" pau's mum told me. she pulled me into an endearing hug. 
we went back to the hospital room where i planned to say goodbye to pau. i cleared my throat. "it was good to see you again pau. i'll be coming back soon" i said with a smile.
pau nodded, "thank you for coming oakley." 
and that's all i got. i left without an 'i love you' or even a hug but i accepted that things were just going to take time. my phone rang and the name said "unknown number." my heart sank as i pressed answer.
