Eliza woke up with a start the next morning when she heard footsteps. Who was there? She didn't invite anyone inside. She was about to find out when the nausea hit her. The room was spinning as she tried to get up. She wished she had a bucket. She started to get sick right then. She threw up on the tile for the umpteenth time. It was better then on the carpet though. She went to go get cleaning supplies when she found Italy in the kitchen. That's who was here.
"Italy what are you doing here, how did you even get inside." She already knew the answer but she wanted to hear it from him. "I'm here to take care of you Lizzie, and the back door was unlocked," He smiled at her and gave her a hug. She wasn't sure if she wanted him there or not but she wouldn't throw him out. He was so stubborn. She just sighed and shook her head. "I'm going upstairs for a bit okay?" She still needed to call Gilbert. She needed to talk things over with him today.
She went up to her bedroom and locked the door and called Gilberts cell. He answered sounding groggy. He'd probably just woken up. "Who is this…" "Gil, it's it's Lizzie, can you come out here this afternoon?" She still sounded a bit on edge. Though she didn't seem as pissed off as yesterday. "We need to talk about about the the baby." It was the first time she was able to refer it as a baby. "So you want to figure out what's going to happen? Alright why don't we just meet somewhere?" He didn't want to drive that far. They could always meet at a park or a restaurant. "Fine, we'll meet at one, there's a diner on 27th avenue we'll meet there." That would be good enough a solution for now she decided.
She sat at the booth in the small diner, sipping a strawberry shake. She'd ordered without Gilbert since he was late. This was strictly business anyway, it wasn't like it was a date. She sat there trying to convince herself of this. She looked over dressed and had put on makeup. For some reason she'd also chosen a café instead of the McDonalds nearby. Why did she want this to even be a date. Prussia was rude, selfcentered, pushy, annoying, sweet, handsome, understanding. She shook her head when she thought those things. Maybe she was running a fever. SHE WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH HIM. Or at least that's what she was always trying convince herself of. That's when he finally showed up. He looked nicer then normal but he still looked like Prussia. He came in and took off his leather jacket. He'd obviously ridden his motorcycle. He always tried to act rebellious. Was this really the father of her baby?
"Hey Lizzie, did you come up with some other plan? You know about the kid?" He thought maybe she'd changed her mind on the abortion. He didn't particularly want little ones. Though he did want her. His brother was right about one thing. He'd wanted a way to attach himself to her and this was it. Fine so be it. If this is what it took he'd try his hardest to get her to see that he could be a dad. Little did they know that both of them wanted to be together, they were both just too chicken to admit it.
