Chapter 6: The Truth.
Dawn rapidly wiped away another tear as it slowly swept down her soft cheek. She held back tears as she yelled back at her mother, but when she was out of sight, she let the tears fall freely down her velvet cheek. Dawn wouldn't admit this to anybody, but she missed her mom's support so much.
Dawn sat in her car contemplating on whether going home and crying or just sitting inside her car for hours. After careful consideration, she decided to return home. She prayed Paul was gone so he couldn't see how upset she was.
When she got to the apartment, she noticed Paul's car gone. She assumed he left for Reggie's since he said he was gonna tell Reggie about the pregnancy.
After slamming the apartment door fiercely, she didn't both changing into some pajamas. She just flung herself on the couch but still careful not to hurt the baby. Soon the tears came back and she let them freely. As she closed her eyes for a second, her tiredness took over, and she drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
...
"Here's your stupid ice cream." Paul said and shoved the plastic bag filled with 3 cartons of chocolate ice cream into Reggie's arms.
"Thank you, dear brother." Reggie replied in an insincere voice and went to put the ice cream in the freezer.
Paul rolled his eyes and plopped himself on his brother's couch. The one they grew up with. The old leather couch that Reggie refuses to throw out even thought it doesn't match the rest of his furniture.
"Get your filthy self of my beautiful couch." Reggie joked as he took a seat next to his younger brother.
"In case you haven't noticed, it's older than you are." Paul pointed out.
"Yeah but it's comfy and besides, it holds a lot of memories." Reggie said and reached for the remote control on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Like what?" Paul asked, his curiosity taking over him.
"That couch is where I deflowered Maylene, dear brother." Reggie smirked evilly.
"MAN. I didn't need to know that much. Ew." Paul said, disgusted, and immediately shot up and started removing imaginary germs of his clothes.
"You asked." Reggie shrugged his shoulders and laughed at his younger brother.
"Yeah but that's something I didn't need to know. You don't see me telling you were I deflowered Dawn." Paul responded before taking a seat on the new loveseat, far away from the old leather couch.
"Cause you like to keep to yourself. You were so anti-social. I think meeting Dawn made your social level from negative 99,999 to positive 100." Paul's older brother said cheerfully. Paul glared at him.
"Glad you still know your integers." Paul responded sarcastically before turning back to the television screen.
After watching a boring reality show for what seemed like hours, Paul finally decided to check up on Dawn. He pulled himself up and grabbed his things.
"I'm going home. See you sometime this week." Paul said, lifted his hand up slightly to wave, and left.
When he got to the apartment complex, he noticed Dawn's car there so he knew she was home. When he got inside their apartment, he saw her asleep on the couch, cheeks stained with dried tears. Something bad happened with her mom.
He crouched down beside his sleeping wife and gently shook her.
"Dawn. Wake up." He whispered and shook her until she awoke from her deep slumber. Pregnancy sure made her tired.
"Oh hey. How'd it go with Reggie?" She asked groggily, tired from crying.
"Never mind that. How'd it go with your mom? What happened?" Paul asked in a gentle tone, not ready to upset his already hormonal wife.
"Oh. Nothing to serious." Dawn lied slightly. Paul's eyebrows went up.
"You're lying. I can tell. Tell me what really happened." Paul said, seeing right through her lie.
"Well, I got there and my brother and Palmer were there. Then she came home from her shopping and wanted to know why I was at her house. I told her I was pregnant and she yelled at me again. She asked me if I was dense or stupid." Dawn retold her story and half-way through, her tears started appearing. They slide down her cheek and she swiftly wiped them away with her hand.
"She still has that pathetic grudge? I swear, she needs to get over the damn fact were married. Are you okay though?" Paul asked again and took his crying wife into his arms.
"I told her t-that I was k-keeping it and t-that I didn't w-want her to s-see the b-baby," Dawn shuddered as she told her husband what she said to her mom, "I just w-want her to g-get over her g-grudge."
"I know. I wished she did too. It's getting old. Look how about you take a long nap. You're very tired. I'm going to pay your mom a little visit. Hopefully, knock some sense in her brain." Paul said and carried his pregnant wife in their bedroom.
"Thanks." Dawn smiled weakly and let her husband tuck her in.
"I'll see you later. I love you." Paul said, tucking the blanket over his wife. He kissed her forehead before closing the bedroom door slowly. Time to pay a visit to his mother-in-law. How fun.
...
Paul pulled up at his wife's childhood house, noticing Barry's car in the driveway. He also saw Johanna's are in the driveway. Hell time.
Paul walked up to the front door and knocked on it twice. About a minute later, Barry opened the door.
"Hey Paul. Long time no see. How's the gym?" Barry asked and stepped aside, letting Paul in.
"It's been great. Is Johanna here?" Paul asked, trying not to show anger in front of Barry.
"Yeah in the kitchen. Did Dawn tell you what happened?" Barry whispered as they walked to the kitchen. Paul nodded and they walked into the kitchen.
"Barry, who was-" Johanna started to ask but when she saw her son-in-law, her face dropped.
"Hello Paul. What brings you here to Twinleaf?" Johanna asked in a monotone.
"Actually, I'm here to ask you why you made my already hormonal wife upset." Paul asked rudely, not caring that this woman was his mother-in-law.
"Well I was just expressing my opinion. If my daughter couldn't take it, then that's her own fault." Johanna responded venomously.
"Tell me Johanna, why do you dislike me so much? What did I ever do to you?" Paul challenged the middle-age woman in front of him.
"Do you really want to know, Paul? My daughter had a beautiful future in front of her. Coordinating as Top Coordinator. She could've had that wonderful dream. I mean she used to tell me all the time that she wanted to be like me. But then she met you and all her dreams changed. Her dreams of being Top Coordinator flew out the door. She told me that she wanted to travel with you, helping you with your dream instead of her own. She threw away a good future when she met you. If you hadn't met her, she'd a successful coordinator competing in all the regions." Johanna responded, angry full in her voice.
"Grudges get tiring. Don't you think it's time to get over them? And Dawn could've been a coordinator if she wanted. She could be anything she wanted and I would be fine with it. I asked her if she still wanted to coordinate. She told me she didn't want to but instead wanted to be a stylist. Her choice of helping me with my dream was all her's to decide. I didn't do anything. But you wouldn't know because you disowned her as soon as we got engaged. If you were there for her no matter what, you'd know she still loved coordinating but love styling more. But instead you decide to cut her out of your life. She misses you a lot and I can tell. But you, you just can't get over your pathetic little grudge, can you?" Paul asked venomously. Johanna's little grudge was getting a little old.
"How dare you! Get out of my house!" Johanna shrieked and pointed towards the door.
"Gladly." Paul smirked and walked out the front door, slamming the door in the process. As he started his way to his car, Barry ran up to him.
"Hey Paul! Wait up!" Barry yelled and ran over to him.
"What is it, Barry?" Paul asked, waiting for an answer.
"Johanna will get over it eventually. Congrats by the way. I hope Dawn's okay. Even if Johanna won't support the baby, me and my dad will. We have your back, just letting you know." Barry told him and held out his arm to shake hands.
"Thanks man." Paul said sincerely and they shook hands.
"See you soon!" Barry yelled as Paul reversed out of Johanna's driveway.
"Yeah you too!" Paul yelled and started the long way back to Veilstone City.
