A/N: This part is a bit longer then the last. Please read and review it! More to come very soon
Eponine went home an hour later. She had no idea how she was going to tell her parents about this but she knew she was going to Marius the next time he saw her. Sure he would be shocked and upset but there was no doubt in her mind that he will do the right thing. Yes it did mean giving up the original plan of going to Julliard and becoming a Broadway actress but it was still a great future though. Better than being here in this hole in the wall apartment with her scum bag father who at this moment was in the living room talking with Brujon, Babet, Claqusous and Montparnasse. When they saw her walk in, they became quiet. She had no doubt in her mind that they were planning their next crime. She didn't get why they became quiet around her. It wasn't like she didn't know what they did.
"Where have you been? You're late! You missed everyone else. They went out for dinner. You'll have to fend for yourself now." Her father said as if he cared about her having to fend for herself. And she knew what "went out for dinner" really meant. It meant her mother had taken Azelma and Gavroche to some restaurant to beg them to let her and her kids eat because they were hungry and hadn't eaten for days, which was a lie. Sure they were poor but they never went without for days on end even if dinner was simply just Ramen noodles or canned vegetables most of which her parents stole from the grocery store. Thankfully they were never caught which would have been far more embarrassing then her mom begging some restaurant manager to give them food. It was a good thing she never saw anyone from school at those restaurants.
She didn't say anything to him and instead just went to the room she shared with her sister. She threw her backpack on her bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't help lifting up her shirt and looking at her stomach. What was she going to look like a few months from now? She rubbed her stomach and wondered if she was feeling her and Marius's unborn baby. She hoped the baby looked more like Marius then her. She smiled when she thought about what their little family would be like. "What are you doing?" She heard someone say behind her. She turned around and saw Montparnasse looking at her strangely.
"None of your business! What are you doing in here?" She said quickly lifting her shirt down.
"Just came to see you. You look hot today Eponine. What do you say we go back to my place for awhile?" He said suggestively.
"For the millionth time, no! Now get out of here." She said. Why did he always try to proposition her? She wished he would take the hint and leave her alone. Did he really think she wanted to get with him? No thank you. She was the main person who wanted to disprove that whole logic of girls dating guys who were like their father. He closed her room door behind him and walked further in.
"Come on Ponine. I know you want to," he said and tried to kiss her. She pushed him back. "No!" She said as loud as she could. She knew her dad and the rest of the guys in the living room heard her. She wished for once that her father would be a normal protective dad and come in to tell him to stay the hell away from his daughter but of course that would never happen.
"What's wrong you only have a thing for rich boys? You and Lauren whore yourselves out for those guys who only want one thing from girls like you."
"That's not true!" She exclaimed. Okay so Lauren was used by Courfeyrac who was a friend of Marius's and was on the lacrosse team with him. He never called her back or even looked at her after she lost her virginity to him but that wasn't true for Marius. She knew she was more than just a hook up for him. He really liked her and just needed a way to tell Cosette the truth. Now he had as good a reason as any to do it. She had no idea how Montparnasse even knew that since he hadn't been to school in ages.
"Come on Eponine. We all know it's true. How many of those guys have you two been with? Have any of them had you both at the same time? I'll bet Enjolras has. He seems like the type of guy you girls would get down like that with. How about you both give me a try? I promise I won't pass you off on my friends like he probably did. I'll keep you girls all to myself." He said and reached for her again. She stepped back and bumped her backside against her dresser.
"You're disgusting!" She said and shook her head. He simply laughed at her then tried to kiss her again when the door open and he pulled away from her.
"Azelma!" She cried out happy to see her younger sister, who was looking between her and Montparnasse like she was wondering what was going on. She had a Styrofoam container in her hand and a cup. "Hey I brought you my leftovers since I thought you might be hungry since you weren't here when we left," she said to Eponine and then turned to Montparnasse and said "What are you doing in here?"
"Nothing, he was just leaving," she said looking at him.
"Right, I'll talk to you later, Ponine," he said winking at her and then left the room.
"I'm not going to pry but seriously Eponine you can do much better." Azelma said and handed her the container and the cup. She said nothing and just opened the box. She wanted to tell her that she had done a whole lot better.
The next day at school she was in 4th period anxious for it to be over so she can meet Marius. Their English class seemed to drag on longer than usual. She hadn't really seen Marius today. The only class they shared was sixth period Chemistry. She had seen him in the hallway twice earlier but once he was with Cosette and the other time he was with his friends from the lacrosse team. Therefore it wasn't the right time to talk to him.
"Eponine," Lauren whispered to her. She looked at her then noticed everyone else in the classroom including their teacher Ms. Larson staring at her as well. She realized that had been daydreaming in class.
"Ms. Thenardier, so glad you can join us again," Ms. Larson said sarcastically. Some people in the class started snickering including Cosette. Bitch, she couldn't wait until Marius dumped her. The bell rang a few minutes later and she ran out of the class without even saying anything to Lauren. She walked out to the student parking lot towards Marius's waiting car where he was already waiting for her. He unlocked the door to let her in.
He started to kiss her right away and she couldn't pull away from him but stopped him when he tried to slip his hand under her shirt. "What's wrong, Ponine? Don't you want this?" He said and kissed her on the neck.
"Of course I do but I need to talk to you first though. It's very important."
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked her concerned.
"Not really…you see…yesterday I found out that…" her voice drifted off. It was harder then she thought to tell him the news. She imagined this moment a lot over the past few hours and she never saw herself getting nervous.
"Found out what?" Marius said trying to encourage her to go on.
"I'm pregnant," She said quickly. She sighed and was relieved that she had finally gotten it out. Then she looked at Marius's face and got nervous again. He looked furious.
"What the hell, Eponine?! How is that possible?" he cried.
"What do you mean how?"
"I mean we used protection. It's impossible! It just can't be!" He said and ran his hands through his brown hair.
"There were times when we didn't use a condom Marius but that doesn't matter now. The fact is that I'm pregnant with your child and I don't know what to do." She said and started crying.
"Get out!" He said angrily. She was shocked. This wasn't how he was supposed to react. He was supposed to comfort her and tell her that everything would be okay not kick her out of his car.
"What?"
"I said get out Eponine!" She just started crying harder. "I don't have time for your bawling just get the hell out!" She didn't move. She was in such disbelief that he was even doing this. He had never talked to her that way before. Marius rolled his eyes and jumped out of the car. A few seconds later he was opening the passenger door and pulling her by the arm. "You can't do this to me! I'm carrying your child!" She cried.
"Don't say that out loud! Just get out!" He said as he successfully pulled her up by the arm and then put her backpack on the ground.
"Marius please just listen to me!" she begged but he simply ignored her and got back in his car and pulled off quickly almost running over her foot.
"Marius!" She cried out loud even though he didn't hear since all she saw was the taillights of his Maserati as it went out of the school's parking lot. She sank to the ground and cried.
