I pulled Serp with me into the living room. Everyone was there, talking to each other. Deo was glaring at Felix, Demetri, Alec, and Jane. He didn't like them one bit. I'd be leaving with them and be taken away from Deo.
"What's he doing here?" Paul asked.
I looked at Serp and then Paul, my gaze finally landing on Deo.
"We need to talk. . . all of us all together, right now."
"What's this about?" Deo asked, eyeing Serp.
"Just, promise me none of you will freak?"
"Now I'm really worried," Sar said, sitting forward in his seat. "What's going on?"
I took a deep breath, retracting my hand from Serp's, and fidgeted with my fingers. "Well, you see, I've been with Serp, right? Well, for the past two weeks, and Deo, you've been with Jesebelle. . ."
"She's a girl, but I've not been with her," Deo said cautiously. Oh, god, he wasn't going to make this easy on me.
"Alright, well, when a guy and a girl get together. . . you know the pill isn't a hundred percent," I said, looking at them all desperately trying to get them to understand and for them not to make me say it. Those two condemning words.
"And?" Kif pressed.
"I'm pregnant?" I said, but it came out more as a weak and unsure question.
Deo's eyes widened and he slumped back in his seat, shocked. "You're serious? You're sure?"
I nodded, "I took fourteen tests. . ."
"The whole box?" Jane snickered. "Damn, I knew you needed those for a different reason. And you were in the bathroom for fifteen goddamn hours!"
"And they all said. . ." Jake continued, unsure how to phrase it.
"Positive," I whispered. Everyone had heard me.
"And well, she wants to keep it," Serp said. "And-"
"And you're going to abandon her on the side of the fuckin' street because you don't want to care for anything other than yourself!" Deo shouted. He stood up, glaring at Serp. "And don't you say different! You know its true! The only reason you knocked her up-"
"I didn't mean to get her pregnant," Serp said calmly, cutting Deo off. Deo was still angrily panting. "I won't abandon her. You and her have had your scare. . . her's and mine just isn't as non-stuck as yours. . . and well, Steph and I are non-existent, so-"
"You're joking!" Deo shouted. "Bella, there's no way in hell you'd accept."
"I did," I said, looking at him, levely meeting his angry glare with my own innocent gaze. "I'm sorry, Deo, but-"
"But you know I would have cared for it just as if it were my own!" Deo cried angrilly.
"Deo," I said gently, stepping towards him. "I know you're upset, and I know you would have, I just - I wanted the father - the real father - in the child's life."
"And I couldn't have-"
"He owns me now, but that doesn't mean that its a committed thing! I'm allowed to see who I want."
"But at the end of the day she's mine," Serp said cooly. I saw the evil glint in his eye when I turned to look at him. What was he up to?
