Hello fellow fanfiction readers and writers, here is another chapter for yall to enjoy. As usual I own nothing except new characters and ideas, I make no money from writing, and all rights go to the rightful owners. All character outfits and pictures are on my polyvore Noellamonster.
I woke with a start. My body sore, the sofa was not comfortable when you sleep on it wrong and all night, Magenta was standing above me making the situation even worse. "Creepy bitch." but she just laughed it off.
I was up rubbing my neck to relieve some of the built-up pressure, life had gotten back to normal. I was going to look at a three-bed room apartment today, we had days left of school and it was time for me to move out. I wasn't being forced but just figured this was not the safest place to raise my child. Gwen was staying at the estate, she was going into medicine herself, so everyone including her very proud parents felt it better she stay. Jennifer and Dice staying an hour away while Trace was two hours away going to college. So, a new set of young residents are coming and I wasn't chancing anything. Magenta was going to move in to help me care for the baby we are both are going into nursing; her mother was so proud. All she ever wanted was for Magenta to be happy and she finally was.
I had to hurry and dress but as soon as my feet hit the top of the stairs Dr. Peace called out for me "WESTLYNN!"
I smiled, she had a rough go at her son and three months ago brought back all my things, he called and came to see me two months ago. He knew I was with child, his child. A fact that scared him so badly that he stopped coming, stopped texting; it was as if he died. His mother said he was terrified of having a child, passing along his genetics to some doomed offspring and to be honest it scared me too.
"Good morning, Dr. Peace." she was great, her and my mother.
She sighed, "Warren's flight just landed, he never told me he was coming." I grumbled as Magenta snorted.
She says, "Yeah, Wes get dressed, we are out in ten minutes and staying gone. We are looking at the apartment, lunch, shopping so we will be gone with Angelo all day. Dr. Peace is it possible to find out why he came without notice? I mean he has not contacted the mother of his child in nearly three months." she was angry and protective, like a sister would be.
I sighed, "I have to go." Dr. Peace didn't stop me just waved goodbye as she pulled her cell out.
I needed to hurry, Magenta tossed me a black Maternity Mixed Broderie Camisole Top while I was putting on a pair of old ripped blue jeans, the top was flung in my face obscuring my vision.
"Thanks."
She retorted, "Hurry before that asshole cocksucking bastard arrives to cause you more problems," she hated him nothing and I mean nothing was going to change that. I laced my high-tops up, she had my cell and bag ready to make a clear dash for my Acura, I was a little slower at seventeen weeks. But we didn't run into a single problem, we drove off out of the gates. While on the high way a taxi drove passed us; we're sure it was him.
"Westlynn, you have grown." the agent smiled, mother gave me her number, guess they were drama club friends when they were younger.
I say, "I know."
She gave us the tour; the kitchen was everything. It was done in a black and cream marble it was open and spacious, the rooms bigger than I imagined. "Everything has been upgraded, I am the owner. The rent is $990.00 per month, the first month's rent and a matching deposit are due if you want it." I was so happy, this was nice, I had a part time job at the estate, Dr. Peace, mom, and Kimber (Magenta's mom) gave us the money to move and then some. I had my father's inheritance that I would need to make it while doing school and caring for my child. I would need a few more hours at the estate, so would Magenta but this was doable.
I smile, "We will take it, Magenta you have the deposit and I can do two months' rent."
Magenta laughed, "Our own place, here you go Nancy." it was an envelope with money in it, I did the same, we would need furniture too. We signed the paper work, Nancy was super excited too she explained every upgrade she and her husband did themselves, they are goals. The walls are a nice light shade of brown, so our things would be a nice chocolate brown, we are ready with the keys, guess we will be moving in next week. We have to get the gas, electric, and cable turned on and food too.
I called my mom before I started the car, she answered in the second ring "How did it go, baby?" her tone light but yelling was heard in the back.
I gushed, "Mama, it is so perfect. We signed a year lease, gave her two months' rent and the deposit, can Magenta and I have a few more hours at work, we want to make sure we can do this on our own, since we will have to pay all the bills and buy furniture and food too." now it was hitting me the gravity of what we just signed, yeah our parents have money, that doesn't mean we do. I knew they would help, but this was our doing we needed to be adults now, we had a place and I have a child on the way.
Mom laughed, "Clam down, baby. You both may have as many hours as you need, you both are going to be fine. Kimber and I want to buy your front room set, so pick it out and then call me. But right now, I have to go." she hung up without another word. I started the car pulling out from our drive way, Magenta was texting her mama.
I say, "Our mothers want to get our living room set, so how about we go find it and get some kitchen stuff since we will be master chefs soon."
She sighed, "Can I ask you something?" her tone was off she was worried not happy now.
I waved her on.
She sighed, "Can Angelo move in too? He sold his house wanting to be closer to us since you're having a baby."
I laughed until I felt the need to pee, "Of course he can." she was happy again, just like that not a damn clue why she was under the impression I would say no to her.
I asked, "Were you worried that I would say no?"
She answered, "He was, you know since the reason we are moving out is because of the issues at the estate." yikes.
"I am moving because new people are coming, they are the unknown. If it was the same crew, I would stay for another year but that is not the case here. Han, Trace, Dice, Jennifer, Gwen, and Angelo are gone, well Gwen is staying but you get it. New means they might be dangerous to my child." she was shaking her head in agreement, they could be cool but then again they might not.
Wayfair had a very nice two shades of brown Aske sleeper living room collection, we added the coffee table and two end tables, we would buy a nice rug for this set, once my mother paid for it and we set the delivery up we are in Bed bath and beyond looking for a kitchen set that we liked, some older people looked at me like a freak show, I had a baby bump.
She asked, "Should we do red or stick with the black?"
"Black." I answered, red was too bold and could clash with my own red hair, I really hoped my baby had brown hair or a mix just not flaming red. I was starving as one o'clock hit, now my car was loaded down, nothing was gotten for baby since I would find the gender out in two weeks.
We see Angelo outside of Black Bear waiting his eyes glued to his cell, I turned the engine off getting out with my best friend, he still doesn't notice us so his girl makes it known. "HEY THERE!" nearly in his left ear he was air born his dark eyes wild, but then he smiled.
"Thank you for the heart attack, love." they embraced before he was hugging me too.
I say, "Come on I could eat a bear." I was so bitchy when hungry, it was packed but we got seated right away.
I ordered, then them as conversation started "She said yes." then she jumped into why I was moving, now to both of them it made total sense.
We ate in near silence, until Angelo spoke "I will bring my bed set for our room Magenta, I can sell everything else. I will have to leave at four to get to the office by five but that is okay."
I was full when Angelo paid since we dished out so much money already today, "Wes, let me buy the bathroom sets, both of them. Let me help."
He was buying me a nice bathroom set, he would rue the day he offered but for now we had to say our goodbyes, we had a few more things to do before heading home but we planned to stay gone for as long as we could, we saw a movie, went into a few more stores buying little things here and there just having a nice time away from everything. But it was near nine at night when we left Cane's, our time was up.
She needed her medication and I was tired, so this is what found us driving home so late the estate was still lit up, we are all moving in two weeks and then the rooms cleaned for the new residents. Magenta and I unloaded everything into the garage my mother cornered off for us to store things until our own move, it had a few things already but now we made a nice haul today.
She yawned, "Shower then bed, feel like I have been up for days." her yawn made me yawn as we walked in making our way to our rooms right next to each other, I also needed a shower.
I say, "Let me get my bag, I will text Gwen and Jen to meet us in there." she just waved walking into her room with Dr. Peace behind her with two cups and a smile.
My room looked fine nothing was out of place so I grabbed some jammies, a towel and my bathroom bag leaving it behind walking to the showers when Gwen and Jennifer come up to me pushing me to go faster into the woman's area.
I gasped, "No manhandling the pregnant girl." they scoffed as I turned a stall on hanging my towel, my bag and clothes on the far table as Magenta walked in looking red in the face.
He was here.
"I take it my ex is here." it was a yes all around, I was the single one to be able to lock my bedroom door so that's what I was doing since I was not able to get into my secret spot right now. The water felt great not burning hot but still hot enough to help ease my sore muscles, the girls chatting.
Jennifer chimed in after Gwen, "He is here to make things right with you, but hell no. I told him he needs to go fuck off he had his chance with you and he fucked it up, asshole didn't talk to you for months cause you and him are having a little baby Auntie Jen is going to spoil." yeah, they are all working for their parents while going to college and plan to spoil my child.
"He was waiting near your room."
So, after my shower and getting dressed we four walked to my room to talk until light's out, tomorrow was a school day, after that we had four left. There he was waiting by my door with both our mothers this only meant I had to say something to him.
I stopped looking at them as the three girls walked into my room with dirty looks and a few muttered curse words, I am left looking at my mother "Hello mother." my tone flat keeping my attention on her or Dr. Peace.
She chuckled, "Hello my darling, how was your shopping trip?"
"It was great everything it in the garage for now, is everything okay since he has chosen to show up?"
He tried to touch my arm, "I am going with the vague idea you want to keep that arm, touch me and you will lose it. Why're you even here?" my words angry as I glared up at him, he looked tired.
"I fucked up, I love and miss you. I want to marry you I always have."
I say, "I am done messing with you, from the moment you found out I was having our child you have ignored me. Have you bothered to text me and see how I am doing? Have you called or text me to see how our child is doing? No, you had cut off contact because you were scared, well me too but at least I didn't run off, guess you're just like your father, Warren." that was a very low blow, using the fact his father left for a little before running back. Dr. Peace looked hurt as she walked away, my mother running after her while giving me a stern look.
Warren spoke, "I am, but it was him who told me not to make the same mistakes he did."
I snapped, "You already did, you will not have my new address since I am moving. You may see our child every weekend, but it will be here and supervised, you haven't cared for months sorry if I stopped caring the minute you showed you didn't care."
Last thing he saw was my door slamming on his face.
