Who Is Your Baby Mama

The sound of soft grunts and moan filled the janitor's closet, also with the mixture of soft whispers.

"Stop Nate, we can't do this. I can't betray my best friend" Paige pushed him away and adjusted her glasses. She was leaning on the wall, buttoning her shirt. She almost had s*x with her best friend's boyfriend. She couldn't think of what would happen if anything happen and she catches them together.

"She isn't here and she won't find out about any of it" he replied and drove himself to her again.

She pushed him away and slipped her finger into her hair.

"Look, she'll be here in less than three minutes. Besides, it's our graduation tomorrow. Very soon, you both are going to get married and have kids and... Do a lot of things together as a couple. And I, I don't want to be involved in your mess" she tried to explain herself and adjusted her long hair to the back.

It was like Nate wasn't even listening to her at all. He was obsessed with her.

He grabbed her hands and pinned it to the wall, trying to kiss her.

"Just once Paige, please. I want you, I love you" he cried out, panting hard. They paused for some seconds and stared deep into each other's eyes. She could see the truth in his eyes but there was nothing she could do about it. It would just make everything worse.

"What are you saying?" She asked him in a whispering tone.

"I said, I love you and I want you" he replied.

Paige was just a nineteen year old girl while Nate was a year older than she is. She was more than 5ft tall with dark brown hair. Her eyes were light brown with her hairy lashes. She was very light skinned but very beautiful at the same time. Her beautiful heart face that matches with every other thing that's on it. Her nose, lips, eyes, everything was just perfectly made.

"We both know that you can't have me" she murmured.

"It doesn't matter. We could run away and never come back" he suggested.

.

Suddenly, they got distracted when the door flung open as Quinn walked in. She was holding a cup of milkshake. When she saw her boyfriend and best friend in that position, it fell from her hand and splashed on the floor.

"What in the actual f*ck is going on here?!" She asked angrily.

"Oh no..." Nate thought. He angrily stared at Paige. He needed a way to protect himself.

"You've gotten what you wanted right? What do you think would happen that I would leave beautiful and sassy Quinn for a four eyed creature like you" he asked loudly.

"What are you talking about? You are the one telling me that..." Confused Paige asked.

"One more word from you and I won't hesitate to slap you" he threatened as he grabbed her face.

"That's enough now. You can't hit a girl" Quinn reminded him.

He let go of her face and walked to Quinn.

"I'm glad you are here baby. I've been waiting tirelessly for you. Your best friend tried to seduce me but nothing will every worn off our love for each other" she said and stood on her toe. She kissed him on the cheek and slowly walked to Paige. She was still confused, wishing everything that had just happened was nothing but a dream.

"I saw everything Paige. I also see the way you look at my Nate. Come on now, snap out of your dream land. He's never going to be yours. And yes, for what you just did. We can't be friends anymore. I can't trust you. I don't even know what I'm doing with a low life like you. You are in no class with me and you can never be. "

"Quinn, listen to yourself. You can't do this to us. He was the one trying to force himself on me. I didn't do anything, I swear" Paige shook her head slowly.

"I don't believe you. Let's go baby. I have plans for tomorrow. I can't let a nonsense nobody ruin my mood" She said and left while Nate followed her behind. He paused when he got to the door and stared at Paige.

"I'm sorry" he whispered and left. Of course, he had his reasons for lying. He wished he never has. It was their graduation tomorrow, time for them to leave high school. He won't see Paige every again after tomorrow.

.

Quinn was in her luxurious room, ordering some things that she'll need for tomorrow while someone attended to her nails.

Her mother walked in with a glass of orange juice and placed it on the table beside her.

"You look beautiful Quinn" her mother commented.

"I know mom, I'm very beautiful" she replied proudly without glancing at her mother. She was focused on her phone and tomorrow. Her mother nodded slowly and left the room.

.

"You have no idea what happened man. I almost had my way with her till Quinn caught us in the act. I blamed Paige for everything and I felt bad" Nate explained everything that happened to his friend, roaming about in his room.

"You love Paige, just tell Quinn and she'll discuss it with her parents" Dylan replied with his legs crossed as he sat comfortably on the couch.

"Have you gone nut? You know that the contract have been signed already" he finally paused and sat on the bed.

"Relax, tomorrow is the graduation, cheer up man"

"It's not only our graduation Dylan. Tomorrow is our engagement" Nate muffled.

"What?!" asked in a surprised tone.

.

The D-Day finally came. It happened as planned. Quinn and Nate finally got engaged. Paige came to congratulate her friend but Quinn didn't let her into the venue. Nate felt sorry for her. He had wished he could let her in. She left the venue after spending some hours outside the cold weather.

They went to college together and also got married at the end.

.

.

FOUR YEARS LATER...

The alarm close the bed went off, making a blaring noise. Nate grabbed a pillow and covered his face so he won't hear the noise. When it didn't stop, he stretched his hand and hit the button.

He sat up after the noise has stopped.

"Good morning sweetheart" Quinn kissed him from behind. He turned and stared at her, grabbing her head. He kissed her deeply as their tongues twisted in each other's mouth.

"Hmm.. hold on big boy. I have a shoot today and I have to get ready" Quinn got out of bed and head to the bathroom.

"I'll make breakfast" Nate left the bed also, slipping his feet into his slippers.

"sounds good" she replied and slammed the door. Nate snorted and got out of the room.

.

Paige ran into the company with her wet hair and shoes in her hand. Other employees stared at her as she ran quickly. She was a minute late already. She got into the studio and sat down, placing the headset over her head. She exhaled deeply and waited for the song to go off.

At the other side of the studio was her Manager who have been waiting for her. He heaved a breath of relief when he saw her.

"Good morning and welcome to Your Fm. I hope you had a wonderful sleep back there because I did. On today's...."

.

.

Quinn had little of her breakfast and prepared to go for her shoot already. She wasn't supposed to eat much. She grabbed her bag and car keys and kissed her husband's cheek.

"My regards to Dylan" Nate said.

"My regards to your dad" she walked out of the house in her skimpy gown. She doesn't even wear her wedding ring whenever she's outside. Nate was sure has never worn it after their wedding. He shook the thought off his head. He can't let what he was thinking of ruin his day. He got ready as quick as possible and left the house also.

.

Paige was on her little desk with her head on the table. She was taking a little nap. She has another show when it's 7pm. She heard a soft bang on the table and sprung up.

"Mr jay.." she called out, blinking repeatedly.

He sat opposite her and asked her to sit.

"Why were you late today?" He asked.

"I had an hangover last night" she replied.

"How many times have I told you to stop drinking? You may ruin your career" he said.

"I'm sorry. I just took a bottle"

"No more bottles, okay?" He asked.

She nodded. "Yes sir" she heaved a breath of relief. For some seconds, she thought she was going to get fired.

"You should rest now. Your next show is 7pm with Josh Wick" Mr Jay said and stood up.

"What? I get to interview the celebrity?" She asked with a smile on her face.

"Yes, I've decided to give you another chance. If you spill this one, you are leaving" he warned her and left her desk.

"Argh!" Paige groaned silently and went back to sleep.

.

"Son?" Mr Davidson called out to his son. He was staring at some files.

"Yes father" he replied and raised his head to stare at his father.

"How's she?" He asked. Nate sighed deeply and stared back at the files. He finally got the one he was looking for and picked it out, placing it on the table.

"She's fine, she's doing great" he replied.

"I'm sorry that I had to get you involved. We needed that contract urgently. Two parties must agree before something must happen"

"It's all in the past now. I've gotten married to her and nothing can change that. I'll be in my office" he left quickly. He hate to have this sort of conversation with his father. It just reminded him of the mess he got him involved with. He saw a white envelope on the table. He furrowed his eyebrows and picked it up.

"From anonymous" he muttered. He opened it and saw pictures of his wife, naked.

Nate wasn't surprised at all. He has seen his wife naked picture a lot of time and that's her job. Why should he care? He tore the pictures into pieces and threw them into the trashcan. He also need to find out who that anonymous person is. Who have been sending him these pictures? This wasn't the first time nor second time. He breath heavily and threw himself on the chair, spinning slowly.

It was 7pm, so he left the office. He got into the car and turned on the radio as he drove back home.

That was the time Paige had also started with the interview with Josh Wick. She was a little bit nervous. It had been a long time she interviewed a celebrity ever since she released a rumor about that.

Everything started off smoothly. Mr Jay was even there to supervise everything. He folded his arms, watching her closely, and also listening to her. Everything was live, of course it was a radio.

"Tell me more about the award Mr Josh" Paige spoke calmly. She also didn't want to lose this job.

"It was my fourteenth award. I didn't expect this one at all but, I had it anyway" he replied and gave a soft chuckle.

"Well, congratulations to you Josh Wick. I'm sure your family and Linda would be very happy" she said.

Josh's expression suddenly changed when he heard Linda.

"Who is Linda?" He asked.

"Oh no..." Mr Jay murmured and hit the music button. He got into the studio and grabbed Paige's hand.

"He's married and his wife name isn't Linda. What if she's listening to this?"

"I'm so sorry. I thought her name was Linda"

"It's fine. I better leave already. It was...." Before he could finish his sentence. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.

He sighed and faced them.

"She's calling. I have to go" he said and left. Paige felt bad. She groaned and angrily kicked the chair.

"Don't kick the innocent chair. Kick yourself out of this company Paige, you are fired!" Mr Jay said. Other presenters heard and shot their eyes wide open. Paige has been in this situation before and this was her third time.

"No Mr Jay, you can't fire me. This was a mistake. I'm sure the rumor won't spread. I'm sorry"

"I'm sorry also. Pack up and leave. I'll send the half month salary to you" he said and turned to leave.

"Can't I just stay for the complete month? I have to use the money for..."

"Leave the company in an hour time. Don't let me call the security on you" he threatened and left. Paige leaned on the wall and pulled her hair. She watched as another presenter filled her spot. She groaned and stormed out of the studio. She packed her things and left the company. Mr Jay didn't even call her back. She begged but all fell on deaf ears.

.

Minutes later, she got to her apartment. There was a letter stuck on the door handle. She grabbed it, walked into the house and closed the door with her leg. After placing her stuffs on the rough looking table, she opened the letter.

She read it and toss it into the trashcan. That was when the telephone rang. She hurriedly picked it and placed it on her ear.

"Hey Paige, it's doctor Wilson, your mother is in a critical condition right now. We need to undergo an operation on her but we need your signature and some money to start"

"Just start right away. I... I promise to bring the money tomorrow" she replied.

"I'm sorry Paige. It's our hospital's obligation. You have to sign and pay before we start any operation. I hope you try to get yourself here first thing in the morning" he said and disconnected the call. Paige dropped the telephone and walked to her fridge. She took two bottles of whiskey and sat opposite her television. She wanted to watch the news. Her light went off.

"Oh great! I didn't pay my bills" she murmured and remained at that spot. She gulped down the drinks and dozed off.

.

.

Nate waited up for Quinn. She wasn't home yet. He stared at the clock. It was passed midnight.

"Argh!" He groaned again because she wasn't answering his calls. Suddenly, he heard a car engine outside the house and heaved a breath of relief. He peeped from the balcony. It wasn't her car but she was the one coming out from the car.

.

"Where have you been? You got me worried" Nate said angrily.

"I'm sorry baby. My car broke down. No one to help me fix it, I had to call Dylan"

"You called Dylan?"

"Of course, I was just coming from the studio when it happened. Do you expect me to disturb you? I know you must be tired" she said wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Was that his car?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's his. I'll have to pick him up tomorrow from his house before heading back to the studio"

"Okay. Just be careful okay?" He asked.

"Sure, I will. I'll be in the shower" she kissed him and left. Nate walked to the balcony and stared at his friend's car. He sighed and walked into the room.

.

.

"Dr Wilson, I got here as soon as I can. Here's the money, please start the operation immediately" Paige pleaded.

Dr Wilson stared at the money. It was a lot of money.

"Can I talk to you about this first?"

"What about my mother?" She asked.

"I don't think she'll survive this. Now or after the operation. I'm telling you this because of the money. I know you are all alone. If you use this money for her operation, she won't still survive" he said to her. Tears rolled down her cheek. She took a step back and sniffed in.

"I got fired yesterday. My rent is due. It's either I pay in one month time or I evacuate the house" she said.

"Use the money to take care of your life. You can see your mother, she's conscious now"

Paige hurriedly ran to her mother's room and saw her eating.

"Mom?" She called out and walked to her.

"P..Paige" she stammered. Her voice was so low.

"I'm here mom, I'm here" Paige replied and touched her mother's face. She collected the food from her and fed her slowly with tears in her eyes. Her mother was going to die very soon. It was better she spent her last days with her.

After feeding her, she was given her drugs and asked to rest.

Paige sighted Josh Wick on the television and blinked repeatedly.

They were talking about what she accidentally spilled last night. His wife has filed a divorce on him, asking who Linda was. She thought she was cheating on him.

She sprung up and stared at her mother who was asleep already. She was going to make everything right. She stormed out of the hospital and head to the radio station.

"You are not allowed in here ma'am" the security guards stopped her.

"I wasn't going in. I'm here to tell you about the car burglar that was in the park..." She lied. They hurriedly left their post and left to the park.

"Fools" Paige murmured and ran into the station. She went to the studio and threw the door wide open. Mr Jay saw her and shook his head.

"What is she doing here?" He murmured.

Paige went to the presenter that was live and took the headset from her.

"What are you doing Paige?"

"Just give me a minute. Hello everyone. It's me, yes Paige Finn. I know I've made some mistakes in my life here and I'm here to rectify everyone of them"

The security men rushed into the studio to take Paige away. Mr jay signalled them to stop. He wanted to hear what she has to say. They nodded and left.

"...and with what happened last night. I'm saying a big sorry to Josh and his wife. I thought his wife's name was Linda. There is no Linda in his life ma'am. It was a mistake. I'm sorry Josh, I'm really sorry. Yesterday was like the worst day of my life. I lost my job, my rent is over due, my mom is very sick in the hospital and.. what am I even saying" she chuckled and wiped the tears off her face.

"I'm saying sorry to every person's life I've ruined out there" she concluded and handed back the headset to the former presenter. She left the studio. Mr Jay went after her.

"That was very beautiful" he praised her. She paused and turned to stare at him.

"Uh uh"

"I was about to transfer your money to you. I think you should come back" he said and transferred the money to her.

"I don't want to. I'll just create more mess. Thanks for the cash anyway" she turned and left the studio. Mr Jay just stand and watched her as she left.

.

Josh Wick got back together with his wife, all thanks to Paige's mistake. She was about to cross the road when a car almost hit her.

"F*ck! Are you blind?!" She yelled. He got out of the car and walked to her.

"I'm so sorry. I had no idea that you were on the black and... Paige?" He called out.

"Do you know me?" She replied with a frown.

"Of course, it's me Dylan. Have you forgotten?"

"Oh yeah! Dylan, jeez! You look so big now" she replied, touching his muscles.

"Get into the car, I'll drop you off"

"Sure" she replied and got into his car. It's been four years since they saw each other.

"Where are you headed? Work?" He asked.

"I just got fired yesterday so... I came to solve all of my problem" she replied.

"Oh, great. You have no idea how much I missed you. You didn't even come to our get together party a year ago"

"I was in the studio that day. So, I couldn't come" she spoke softly, staring out of the window.

"Great!" He exclaimed.

"Drop me off here, it's nice to see you again Dylan" she said.

"You live here?" He asked, staring at the block apartment.

She raised her eyebrows and nodded.

"Yeah, bye!" She walked out of the car. That was when he received a call from Quinn.

"Hey Quinn, what's up?" He asked.

"I'm at your house with your car! Where the f*ck are you?" She almost yelled.

"I'm taking your car back home. You just head to the studio, I'll meet you after I drop your car at home"

"Sure" she replied and disconnected the call. He wanted to use the opportunity to see his best friend.

Nate poured some whiskey into two glasses. He handed the other one to Dylan and sat opposite him.

"What brings you here?" Nate asked.

"I'm here to see you, what else?" He replied and sipped from the glass.

"Hmmm... I love this whiskey" he added.

"I have a meeting to attend. I was just about to leave before you walked in" Nate stood up. Dylan noticed his weird behavior and placed his cup on the counter.

"What's up man? Are you mad at me?" Dylan asked.

"Of course I'm mad at you. I've been getting pictures of Quinn naked. Isn't it supposed to be just art? I'm letting her work with you because you are....gay!"

"Do you have to say that?" Dylan asked calmly.

"I'm worried about her. Who have been sending me those pictures? Someone is watching you two!"

"I'm sorry. I'll look into that. I'll make sure that no one take pictures of your wife anymore"

"Thanks" Nate panted and gulped down the whole drink that was in his cup.

"Besides, I saw Paige today" Dylan announced, getting ready to leave his house. Nate shot his eyes wide open and stared at Dylan.

"Where? How? Is she okay?"

"Relax! Do you still love her? You've moved on with Quinn" Dylan reminded him.

"I know but still, I want to see her. I should apologize to her for what happened years ago" he replied.

"Fine, I'll text you her address later" Dylan took a step away but Nate pulled him back.

"Why not now?"

"Nate? Do you still have feelings for Paige? It's over four years. She must have moved on. Besides, she's beautiful than before. She doesn't have her glasses anymore"

"Please Dylan. Just let me see her" Nate shook the hell out of Dylan.

"Fine, fine! But don't go there now. I don't want her to think I told you about her"

"Sure, I won't" he said.

.

.

Paige was staring at the gifts she met at her front door. It was from Josh Wick. He thanked her for what she did. She heard the doorbell again. She stared outside the door but there was no one except a bouquet of flowers. She bent down and picked it up.

"Hmm.. from who?" She murmured and walked into the room, closing the door. Nate walked out from where he hid.

"Paige..." He called out her name softly.

.

The flower had no sender ID. She assumed it was from Josh Wick. She also paid her bills and rent. He sent her some money when she talked about her mother and rent. She was very happy at that moment.

.

Quinn sat impatiently in Dylan's office. He walked in with a cup of milkshake.

"What took you so long?" She asked angrily.

"Here" he placed the milkshake in front of her and sat comfortably.

"It's nothing important. Your paintings will be ready tomorrow"

"What about the art exhibition? When is it?" She asked.

"In a week time" he replied.

"Oh, great. Do i have any other shoot?"

"No, just spend the week at home till then" he replied.

"Great!" She grabbed her bag and stood up to leave. She threw her hair to the back, exposing her shoulder.

"See you during the art exhibition" she said and left. Dylan smirked and started going through some files.

.

.

Nate was in his office, staring outside the company. He was thinking about Paige. He didn't have the opportunity to see her face but she took his flower.

"Nate?" He heard his name and turned to stare at who it was.

"Trisha?" He called out and walked to her.

"Yes, it's me" she wrapped her arms around him.

"Why are you here?" He asked.

"I'm here to see my younger brother. What else? Sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding" she apologized.

"That was five months ago. It's fine" he replied and saw her down.

"So... Who did you get married to? Quinn or Paige?" His sister asked him.

His sister knew how much he loved Paige.

"I got married to Quinn. Things got out of hand and dad signed our marriage contract after you left"

"What? Why?" Trisha asked, a little bit upset.

"It's fine. Just forget about everything. I've moved on already" he tried to calm his sister.

"I don't like Quinn and her attitude. Well, it is what it is. Let's go out tonight. Drinks on me"

"Sure, let me grab my jacket" he grabbed it and logged out of his computer.

"Let's go" he said and left with his older sister. She has been gone for five years after her graduation. She was one independent lady.

.

.

Quinn was at home, staring at her paintings on her phone. She picked some fruits with her fork and ate it, chewing slowly. It was 9pm already but Nate wasn't home yet.

She called his number but he didn't answer the call.

That was when she heard his car engine outside the compound. She ran to the balcony and took a little peep. He was with another lady.

"Is he cheating on me?" She asked angrily and ran downstairs to check who the lady was.

.

She stood by the stairs waiting for him to walk in.

"Come in" he said to the lady and locked the door behind.

"Oh, baby. I'm sorry for keeping you up this late..."

"Hold it now Nate! Who is that b!tch?!" She asked and folded her arms.

"Who are you calling a b!tch?" Trisha asked in reply, almost wanting to hit her.

"Relax, I'll go talk to her" he said and walked towards Quinn. He ran up the stairs and stood beside her.

"That's tri..."

"I don't want to listen to you now" she said and walked to Trisha.

"You can't spend the night here. He's married to me. This is a couple's house, got that?" she said.

"Nate? Why can't you let me hit her just once?" Trisha asked.

"I'm the one to hit you..." Quinn grinned her teeth angrily.

"Stop! Quinn, she's Trisha! My sister!" He said.

"Older sister" she pointed out. Quinn shot her eyes wide open and stared at her from head to toe.

"Senior? Oh my goodness, I'm really sorry. I never knew it was you" she apologized quickly.

"Whatever!" Trisha replied and find her way to the guest room.

"Why didn't you tell me she was your sister?" Quinn mumbled under her breath.

"I tried telling you but you didn't give me any chance" she replied.

"Fine, I'm sorry. But, why is she here?"

"She's staying for some couple of days till she find her way back to England"

"Days? Argh!" Quinn groaned angrily again. She didn't want any guest in her house, not even a maid.

"I'll be upstairs. Don't annoy my sister" he warned and and left.

"F*ck! Why is she here?" She thought to herself and flung her long hair to the back.

.

.

The next morning, Trisha woke up quite early and saw that no one was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

"Hey Trisha, good morning. I have a meeting by 9am. I promise to be back early"

"Hold on Nate, where is your wife? I mean, who is supposed to make breakfast?"

"She don't cook, she don't clean. It's fine. Just order some food"

"Order some food? What sort of wife doesn't know how to cook? You see the reason why I wanted you get married to..."

"Trisha, stop. Just order some food. Catch you up later" he said and left. Trisha shook her head. She wondered what sort of mess her brother is, in the name of marriage. She grabbed the pot and cooked something for herself only.

.

As she ate, Quinn walked in.

"Good morning Trisha" she said and walked to the pots. Nothing was in it.

Trisha didn't even respond to her greetings. She just kept mute and watched her, checking the whole pot for food.

"Um.. I think you are eating my food Trisha. Nate must have prepared it for me before leaving" she said.

"Oh really? So my brother is your maid and slave"

"No, he's not. He's my husband and he would do whatever I want" she replied.

"You two have been married to five months. Isn't it time for you to get pregnant and give him a child? At least, if you are pregnant, I would have thought that cooking for you isn't a problem"

Quinn chuckled softly and shot a hard glare at Trisha.

"If you think I'm going to get pregnant for your brother, you are mistaken. I'm not going to carry anyone's child in my stomach" she replied and left the kitchen.

"What?" Trisha murmured.
