Lilly's Choice Part 4

Oliver picked Lilly up and carried her out to his car. He started it in a panic and called Miley to let her know that he was taking Lilly to the hospital. He rushed her there and Miley was there when they walked through the emergency room door.

"She keeps coming in and out of consciousness." Oliver told Miley as the nurses wheeled Lilly back to a room.

"Cody?" Miley asked.

Oliver nodded. Miley told him about the night before at the restaurant. They sat down in the waiting room together.

"What are we going to do?" Oliver asked exasperated.

"I don't know. It's apparent that we can't handle this Oliver. We need an adult." Miley suggested.

Oliver knew Lilly's position on getting someone else involved. She knew that her mom would probably have another break down like she did when her father died. Lilly's mom hadn't been the same since that day. She was, for lack of a better word, crazy. She blamed Lilly for her father's death, because he had died in a car accident trying to make it to a play Lilly had begged him to come too. Miley knew this too. Oliver's mom was no good because she was a cop and he knew Lilly would never want the cops involved.

"How about my dad?" Miley suggested.

"I don't think we have any other choice."

Miley called her dad and asked him to meet them at the hospital. Jackson, hearing that it was about Lilly and being concerned, went with him. When they arrived, Oliver told Robby Ray about all the things that had happened that night and the other times. Robby Ray squirmed in his seat listening to the details of the life his daughter's best-friend was living.

"Miles, you should've told me about this." Robby Ray told her. "I know dad, but Lilly didn't want anyone knowing, she was afraid." Miley explained.

"It doesn't matter Miley, I know she was afraid. You two should've known though that she needed someone to help her make these decisions. At least, you came to me now though."

The four sat considering and talking about what they could do to help her. Oliver had received a high five from Jackson for his work on Cody. Robby Ray had called Lilly's mom, knowing that she would have to be there to sign papers. When she arrived, she walked over to them. She didn't acknowledge Oliver or Miley, only Robby Ray.

"Well hello cowboy. Thanks for calling me." she smiled at him.

Lilly had been embarrassed before by her mom's flirting. Only now she wasn't there to apologize and take her mom away. Robby Ray didn't go into the details of what happened. He just told her that there was an accident and the doctors were with Lilly now.

"Hi Ms. Truscott." Miley said shyly.

"Hi baby. Well looks like the gangs all here. When are you gonna' let your daddy start dating again?"

"Um, I don't know. It'll probably be a while." Miley answered, trying to help her dad.

"Hmm! Hi Oiken. I heard you and Lilly were back together. Not from her though of course, I have to find out through her face book."

"Nice to see you again too." Oliver said sarcastically.

A doctor came out and yelled for the Truscott family. Ms. Truscott walked up to him with Oliver at her heels.

"You can go now, I've got this." she told him and Oliver reluctantly and bitterly turned away.

She talked to the doctor for a while then signed some papers and walked back to Oliver angrily and slapped him, "You got my baby pregnant?"

"What?" Oliver asked stunned.

"You heard me. You know what you did." She went to slap him again but Robby Ray grabbed her hand.

"Calm down. I think you oughta give the boy some slack." Robby Ray warned, knowing the truth about Lilly.

"Slack? I think not Robby Ray. I'm not gonna' keep that girl in my house with a baby." she told him.

"Now, Cindy (can't remember Lilly's mom's name), I think you should just calm down. You don't mean that."

"Oh yes I do. I was two months from having her out. I'm not dealing with this too."

"Daddy, where is she gonna' go?" Miley interjected.

"Well, baby, I guess she's gonna' stay with us." Robby Ray suggested looking to Cindy for approval.

"Fine, take her. I don't wanna' deal with this. I'm to young to be a grandma." "Too young?" Jackson scoffed.

Ms. Truscott glared at him then walked out of the hospital. Oliver sat in silence, confused and scared. How could Lilly be pregnant? Why did she deserve to have the seed of that bastard in her?

"Oliver, are you okay?" Miley asked him.

"I need to talk to Lilly."

Oliver was silent until the doctor finally came out and said that Lilly could have visitors. They went back and Miley and Robby Ray went in first to tell Lilly that she would be staying with them. She asked if Oliver was mad at her and neither of them answered. Truth, they couldn't. Oliver hadn't told them what he was thinking.

Finally, everyone left the room allowing Oliver to go in and have his time with Lilly. At first, he just looked at her and she was so afraid of what he would say. She knew that this wasn't easy to handle. She also assumed that he would be done with her.

"I'm sorry Oliver." she said as tears began to fall down her cheeks.

Oliver wiped her tears away and smiled, "Why are you sorry Lilly? We're going to be parents."

I was considering adding one more chapter, but I kinda like this ending. Let me know what ya think!!
