January 27th 2019, 35 weeks, 5 days…
"We didn't do anything to get you out of our lives, how many times do I have to say that before you finally get it?! I'm sorry you feel this way but it's your issues that's got your mind locked on that belief!" Amanda responded after Minako once again yelled at her and Ashley walked in.
"Minako, leave her alone!" Ashley replied angrily.
"You know how I'm feeling, you don't like them having a child either! I'm not the only one who's been angry at them, you have too!" Minako yelled.
"I was angry because I was going through some fucked up shit at the time!" Ashley growled.
"What's fucked up is Mandy claiming that she couldn't conceive a baby but here she is, pregnant with Finn's kid!" Minako retorted.
"Mandy never lied about her Endometriosis, Minako, you know that now!" Ashley responded before slapping Minako. That's when Minako spotted the bandage on Ashley's upper left arm.
"What happened, what did… did Seth hurt you?" Minako questioned.
"You seriously think my fiance would hurt me?" Ashley asked.
"With all the times I've seen Mandy hiding bruises on Tv, I…" Minako responded.
"Minako, Seth is not like that anymore. He calmed down and accepted that Finn is a major part of Mandy's life." Ashley replied.
"Then what happened, Ash, why is your arm bandaged?" Amanda asked.
"I'll tell you but not that bitch." Ashley said before looking at Minako.
Minako left and Ashley got Amanda to sit down.
"I had the implant removed." Ashley said.
"So you two are gonna give it a try…" Amanda responded.
"Have to start there… you look tired." Ashley replied.
"Little one likes to wake me up at night." Amanda responded, Ashley resting her right hand on Amanda's stomach and felt a few small pokes to her hand… and her eyes widened as she realised it was her godchild's feet, Ashley smiling.
She began to imagine what the little one looked like…
20 weeks earlier, August 20th 2018…
Ashley and Seth walked into the Demon Lovers locker room… and saw Finn holding a tearful Amanda in his arms, one hand holding an ice pack to her face.
"What happened?!" Seth asked after Ashley closed the door.
"I took your advice and told Yukie about the baby… she slapped me and accused me of lying so I punched her." Amanda explained after readjusting her Jessica Simpson Maternity faux wrap blouse and brushing a stray hair off of her Motherhood Maternity cuffed denim shorts.
"Justified because she has no right hitting you, Love." Finn replied.
"Where is the little bitch?" Ashley asked.
"Kurt had security escort her out." Finn explained.
"I'll rip her little smug face off!" Ashley muttered.
"Personally, I think she needs therapy." Seth responded.
"She needs to get a grip, she slapped a pregnant woman!" Ashley replied.
"If you had it your way you would kill her!" Seth said.
"Oh fuck you!" Ashley said, before flipping him off and leaving.
"Can't figure out what's gotten into either of them lately." Amanda responded quietly.
"Mandy, maybe Yukie's just worried about your health and not expressing it properly." Seth replied.
"She's angry, not worried. She's acting like we betrayed her. Finn and I want her in our lives and this little one's but she keeps trying to run away." Amanda responded as Finn lightly rubbed her back and Amanda saw a text from Sumire.
'Kurt told me what happened, I'm sorry Yukie struck you.'
'I wish she'd tell me why she's upset instead of automatically expect me to know, I'm not a mind reader.' Amanda replied.
'I know, kiddo. And hopefully she'll tell you at some point but she can't just go hitting you or trying to harm yours and Finn's baby.' Sumire responded.
"Sumire already knew?" Seth asked.
"She figured it out when I threw up at her house last month." Amanda responded after Finn lowered the ice pack, Amanda covering the bruise with concealer before closing the tube.
A woman tied her hair into a bun and put on a pink wig, putting in purple contact lenses and looking in the mirror after changing into shorts and a shirt that she had kept for years… one of the ones that read Eddie Stole My Other Shirt.
And thought back to earlier.
"What the hell was that for?!" Amanda responded, her left hand on her face.
"Stop lying, there's no baby!" The woman retorted.
"Yes there is! This is mine and Finn's child!" Amanda replied, showing Yukie an ultrasound picture.
"Really? Why does the baby look like a squirrel, Mandy?" The woman asked.
"Why are you flipping out at me?!" Amanda responded angrily.
"Because this…" The woman started to say, before ripping the picture in half. "Is not real. Just like each lie you've told me." She explained, while ripping more of the pieces and throwing them onto Amanda's face.
Having lost her cool, Amanda punched her and the woman reeled back with a bleeding lip.
"I've never lied to you, Yukie! Look at me, my regular clothes stopped fitting weeks ago!" Amanda replied.
"Just like your lies and promises, Mandy. You never wanted me in your life, didn't you?" The woman asked, while touching her lip.
"You kept shoving me away!" Amanda yelled as Finn ran in.
"Yukie, what the hell is your problem?!" Finn responded when he saw Amanda's bruised face and rested his left hand on Amanda's stomach. "Did she hurt him or her?" He asked.
"Just slapped me in the face, little one is okay." Amanda replied, her right hand above Finn's left one.
"Finn, do you even see this?! My lip is all busted open, and she can't even control her damn emotions!" The ravenette explained.
"You hit my wife first, Yukie, what the hell is the matter with you?!" Finn responded once he turned around and had seen the torn up ultrasound picture.
"You're worried about her when she's faking the whole thing? I know who pregnant and who's not. Right now, she acting like some fucked up crazy bitch who can't control her damn emotions and lies!" She explained.
Finn grabbed his IPhone X and played a video of the latest ultrasound appointment and the realisation hit Yukie.
"Oh hell no! I'm not helping you raise a little bastard!" She retorted angrily, before smacking the phone out of Finn's hand and leaving.
Finn picked it up, thankful that the case and screen protector worked and pressed an ice pack to Amanda's face.
"She had the damn nerve to call me a liar…" Amanda replied.
"We don't have to convince her anymore, if that's what you want. She'd already put her hands on you." Finn responded.
Amanda let him pull her into his arms, the two holding each other…
The woman brushed it off and got ready to watch the event, hoping to stay unnoticed.
But no one knew the truth just yet.
