My Baby My Girl

Episode 35

He didn’t know how long he was out for, but when he wakes Zachary is helping him up and putting him on a chair, his vision was blurred but he could see Zachary smiling.

”Dude you fainted” Zachary teases him
”I didn’t faint!” Sean rubs the back of his head, he thanks the nurse who gives him a patch of ice to put to his head

”Yes you fainted, like a girl you fainted !!” Zachary laughs

”Shut up fool!!”
”I swear it was like in the movies, they tell a girl some kind of news and she swoons… awwnn falling flat on the ground, you freaking fainted like a b—h, I knew you was a girl, a disgrace to the entire manhood, give me your dxxk… we need to send it to Jesus to change it for a Gina!” Zachary bursts out laughing
”Shut up Zachary, I hate you!!”

”I love you too” He says laughing helping Sean up

”So while you were taking a brief five minutes snap, I have been brought up to speed… first, doctor said you are okay, he checked you out, just a brief electrical shock and then he checked your head, you remember that fall, years ago did something to you, he said something about
looking through your MRI scan, due to your fall,
you had temporary amnesia you remember? A while back years ago? When you got back your memory a few others were blocked and he said since it was temporary amnesia you should remember everything but you didn’t..he said it was as if you were blocking some memory…

Unconsciously without doing it on purpose..maybe out of shock, whatever it was, caused you to block out some selected memories under 24-72 hours lost, he said some medical mumble jumble and adds that it’s the reason why you are unable to remember certain incidence. Yes, I told him you had a fall right out graduation, after that crazy party you dig.. so I told him it was my fault and
that I got you high and stoned on drugs and he
says that’s the reason some memory was
suppressed; Intoxication of intense alcohol plus drugs and then after the fall, see how it was hard for you to remember anything? Because it felt like it never happened… you was blank from the beginning..kind off”

”I have no idea what you are talking about” Sean rubs his temple

”Stupid!! You remember one time years ago you told me about some chick who showed up at your door step claiming she was pregnant with your kid? You called the name then but we didn’t know who that was because… well who the hell was she
right? So you kept being bothered about it for a
couple of days and that is it. Now I remember, I remember that the name you called is the same name, the same Megan Philips!! How come it didn’t click?”

Sean is staring at him

“I know you are confused so Let me refresh your memory.

Megan explained it to me, that night, at
that party, you were pretty knocked out, I know that because we were juiced up right? I gave you them pills..I always give you pills” he scratches his head

“Anyways, I remember us going gaga all over the place, and then poof you ran away somewhere into the house and you remember telling me the next
day you remember, that we couldn’t remember jack of what happened and then well, Megan said that she too was high and stoned that night and then you guys..were ..erm in the same room and
then..oh-ah-oh-yes-yes!”

”Dude! dude stop, you are making my head hurt” Sean says

Zachary smiles broadly ”Its official Sean, you are a baby daddy and I am an uncle. To the little monster!! What was the odds of that ever
happening…!” he laughs slapping Sean’s head When he fainted, it wasn’t because of the news… it was because everything Megan’s father said brought back memories… it was a blur, it hurts his
head… then he blanks.

He shakes his head as he steps away from
Zachary, to Megan who is staring at the window, away from her family..

”I am sorry Sean, but I couldn’t do anything,

Megan made me promise not to” Tonia says ”And with good reason”

Sean shakes his head, “‘I know Tonia, I don’t blame you.”‘

Her parents are seated together holding hands,

Megan is hugging herself, away from them all
facing the window.

“Megan?”
She turns “Why didn’t you tell me?” Sean wanted to know, he was dying to know why she choose to keep it away from him. His Child, his daughter.

”I did, but you didn’t believe me, I tried to explain how it happened, but you didn’t want to give me a tiny moment of your day… you laughed at my face and you left me chasing after you on the streets, I
thought you would come home and I went back to check a couple of times, but they said you relocated, they wouldn’t give me a number either…

I did tell you”

”I don’t mean then, I was stupid and young then, I know… I meant when I came back?”

She sniffs chuckling, ”What was I supposed to do running into you in her school? Hey Sean,
remember me Megan, the girl at graduation party who got stoned and high and was stupid enough to have sex with a total stranger who was equally stoned and high and hey guess what..that four year old girl you are talking to is your daughter,

hurrah!” she raises up her hands and then drops it, turning away

”Don’t please, I had a right to know Megan, she is my daughter”‘

”No, you lost that right the moment you didn’t care”

”You can’t hold a young boy over something he had no control over, like you said I was high and stoned, hell Meg I didn’t remember what happened that night, I didn’t remember it all at all… I had an
accident that period, with my head.. I had
temporary amnesia for a bit, but after a few days it was gone, returned later but graduation period was a blur… up until now, and every time I try to think hard about something , I know it hurts..but, that is
no excuse Megan, that boy Sean was messed up, immature, careless. That boy Megan made
mistakes but I know that if I knew for sure then,

that I was going to be a father, I wouldn’t have gone”‘
