One More Chance (Part 2)(43)
“Tell me something you haven’t said already.”
“I knew she wasn’t a good person.”
“What happened?” I ask feeling frustrated.
“She’s with Liam because he’s in the NFL, not because he’s a great guy,” she says hastily.
“How do you know that?”
“I overheard her on the phone.”
“When? Where?” I ask stunned.
“I was over at Spence’s house and she stays there with Liam when he’s in town,” she says looking nervous.
“Why were you at Spence’s house?” I ask confused.
“Dropping something off, but that’s beside the point,” she says quickly, “The point is she is not good for him.”
“What did you hear Kenzie?” I ask slightly frustrated.
“That she’s about to get what she’s always wanted,” she says looking pissed.
“Excuse me?” I ask frowning.
“Big house, cars, that she can shop and go wherever she wants, that Liam will never know what hit him by the time she’s done,” she says not holding back.
“Kenz, when did you hear this?”
“A few weeks ago.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything to anyone?”
“Because, you need to stop this wedding,” she says with a stern look.
“I’m not stopping anything, but you should have told him,” I say slightly frustrated.
“Hails, this is your in, use it,” she says with wide eyes.
“It took me forever to tell him he’s going to be a father, what makes you think I would tell him about his fiancé’s conversation, which I didn’t even hear?” I ask annoyed.
“Haley this is the perfect time, you can stop this wedding,” she says like she’s solved everything.
“I’ll be back in a few hours,” I say to Kenz as I stand, needing to get away from her and this conversation.
“Where are you going?”
“Just out. I need to be alone for a while.”
“Okay, if you need me, call me,” she says not questioning me any further.

“What the hell’s wrong with you?” Spence asks for the second time.
“I’m doing the right thing, right?” I ask, looking for some type of answer.
“Dude, do you want to marry Nina?” he asks as he stands directly in front of me.
“I don’t know.”
“Then I guess you have your answer.”
“My answer?” I ask confused.
“When you get married, there should be no hesitation. If you were marrying Haley on Saturday, would you be feeling this way?”
“Why do you have to bring her up?” I ask annoyed.
“You aren’t over her and she’s the reason you feel hesitant.”
“Nina’s great,” I state.
“She is great, but is she who you want to spend the rest of your life with?”
“Fuck,” I say as I pull on my hair, ready to rip it out.
“I think you need to go talk to Nina,” Spence says before walking out of the room.
I grab my phone and call Nina to find out where she is.
“Hey baby,” she says excitedly.
“Hey, where are you?”
“I’m downstairs having a drink with my mom.”
“Okay, when you’re done, can you come to my room?” I ask nervously.
“Sure, I’ll see you shortly,” she says before disconnecting the call.
Sitting on the bed, I can’t help, but think. I look over at my bag, which I’ve yet to unpack, and see the picture. Standing up, I walk over and grab the small photo that I got at Haley’s doctor appointment on Monday.
I can’t help but stare at the baby, my baby, who will be here before I know it. Nothing can prepare you when you hear the heartbeat and to see the baby moving on the monitor like that. It was the best feeling in the world, but it has also made me think even more.
About thirty minutes later, Nina’s knocking on my door.
“Hey,” I say as I greet her when she comes in.
“Hi babe. What’s wrong?” she asks with a worried look.
“I don’t know.”
“Baby talk to me,” she says as she sits down beside me on the bed.
“Should we be getting married?” I ask confused.
“What? Yes, why shouldn’t we?” she shouts.
“I’m about to have a baby with someone else.”
“Liam, if you were able to have another chance with Haley would you take it, if I wasn’t in the picture?”
“I don’t know.”
“Be honest and answer me.”
“Fuck,” I say as I stand up and start pacing.
“I need to hear you say it.”
“Yes I would, but it’s not that simple.”
