Chapter 12
What. The. Fuck.
"Christian, Elliot, Ana, this is Ethan Kavanagh, he is Mia's boyfriend. Ana, this is Mia, my daughter. Everyone, this is Ana, she is Elliot and Christian's friend", Grace says, "Ethan, where is your sister?".
"She went to the bathroom, Grace", the fuckhead says, and stands up. I swear, if he goes near Ana, I will punch him.
I see Elliot getting close to Ana, he must be thinking the same.
"If you excuse me, Grace. I need some air", he says and goes past my mother to the backyard. Why does he feel so fucking comfortable in my parent's house?
"Of course", my mother said.
"I think I need to sit down", Ana whispers.
I take her hand and guide her to the couch while Elliot goes to get her some water.
"Are you alright?", my mom asks her.
"Yes, I'm…". Ana stars to say and I can see she feels embarrassed.
"Mom, why do you ask her? she is probably faking it. She is Anastasia, the girl that got knock up to trap Ethan", Mia says and looks at Ana like she is going to hit her.
"The fuck are you saying, Mia? Is that what he told you?", Elliot is in front of Ana in a heartbeat, he is blocking her from Mia.
"Stop it, Elliot! Don't protect her. She is an evil bitch that has cause Ethan so much pain".
"That's enough! Can you two calm down", my mom yells.
"Ana?".
We all turn around and see Katherine Kavanagh standing there looking at Ana with fear.
"Mia, where is Ethan?", she asks,
"He went outside, he is in the back. I'll go with you", my sisters say.
Kate looks at Ana and she and Mia go to look for the idiot.
"Mom, what the fuck are they doing here?", Elliot asks.
"Language, Elliot". My mom says. "Now, I want to talk to both of you, follow me to your father's office. Anastasia can stay here with Luke and Bil, everyone else is in the kitchen. We won't take long".
"Mom, we are not leaving Ana here".
"Christian, I'm not asking. Nothing is going to happen to her. Now let's go". She says and walks out of the living room.
"It's ok. I'll be fine. Go talk to your mom, I can stay here. I already feel like I'm making a bad impression on her".
"We'll stay with her", Luke says and Bil sits next to Ana.
Elliot and I go to find our mom.
"Close the door and one of you explain what is going on. Because for what I know, she is the girl that is trying to take half of Ethan trust fund. When I saw her with you, I thought Elliot was finally going to get his act together, but I swear, if she is trying to get one of you to be her baby's daddy, I will ask your father to put a strong lawsuit against her".
"Mom, stop it. Ana is our friend. I met her over a year ago, we are really good friends, but nothing else. I love her like a sister, that to be honest with you right now, I wish she was", Elliot tells her.
"And you, Christian? Because it looks like you can't stay away from her".
"I can't. She is my friend, Mom. Elliot introduced us some months ago, but to be honest with you, I wish I could have more with her. I like her, but her situation is not easy".
"So, you like her and she knows it, is that how she is getting to you?".
"What? No, Mom, stop. I don't know what Mia and that idiot have been telling you, but Ana is a good person".
"And the baby? What do you know about it? Or is she telling one of you that is yours?".
"We know Ethan is the father. We know about their relationship, I was there, I was dating Kate. They broke up and then Ana realize she was pregnant, when she told him, Ethan ask her to get an abortion because a baby will make him lose his trust found", Elliot explains to her.
"Well, Ethan says she tricked him to get pregnant and now she is asking for his trust fund, which, by the way, does not exist".
"What do you mean?", I ask.
"There is not trust found. That's what Anastasia thought, and that's why she does it. Looks like she fools you too".
"Is that what he told you?", Elliot asks.
"Actually, it was his sister. She is a really good friend of Mia. They meet some months ago, and she introduces her to Ethan, they been dating for a month or so. They are really good for Mia, your sister has changed. This dinner was supposed to be a good one, with all the family. My parents and sister are here, your cousin…".
"Mom, I don't understand any of this. I don't know why Katherine told you that about Ana and Ethan's relationship, but I know Ana doesn't want anything from him. She is trying to figure her life out, she is looking for what is best for her and her baby. It's obvious to me that you believe the Kavanaghs, but I'm going to ask you to trust me and Elliot and to get to know Ana, she is a wonderful woman. Please, get to know her, know her part of the story, you will realize the lies they told you".
"Christian…".
"Mom, please. I promise Ana is a great person. You have to give her an opportunity, for me… for us".
"Fine, but I have, to be honest with you two. I don't really trust her. I'll give her a chance, but you have to understand, I can't think bad of Ethan and Kate, they have made Mia change, she is more present, she talks to us more, she gets involved in this family just like it was before".
She says and goes out of my dad's office.
"What the fuck, Bro? I feel like I'm in another dimension. Punch me, I need to know this is not a nightmare".
"If it's a nightmare, then we share a brain. Fuck, what have they told mom for her to believe them?".
"I don't know, but they make Ana look like a gold digger".
"Fuck, let's go to Ana. Maybe we should leave".
"I think that will be the best".
Elliot and I go to the living room and we found the rest of the family, except for the Kavanaghs and Mia. Ana is on her feet and my grandma has her hands on Ana's belly.
"I tell you, the way your carrying, you must be having a girl. You should try to walk as much as you can, that way the baby will pop out right away".
"I know, that's what the doctor recommended. I'm also doing some yoga", Ana says.
"Mom, you said the same about me when I was pregnant with Luke, and he is a man", my aunt says.
"Have you heard him scream?", grandma asks.
"Hey, I'm right here".
"We know", my grandpa responds to him and Bil stars to laugh.
"What are you laughing at? defend me", Luke's voice is getting more high.
"You are just proving her point, Luke", Bil says.
"Hey, grandma", Elliot says and goes to say hello to everyone.
I give my grandma and aunt a kiss and shake hands with my uncle and grandpa.
"Are you ok?", I ask Ana in a whisper.
"I am. Are you two fine? What did your mom say?".
"We are really confused, we explain to you later. We are thinking of going, with them here we don't want you to be uncomfortable".
"No, no. I'll go. You should stay with your family, I can see you bout later".
"So, which one of you is making me a great grandmother?".
"Sorry, grandma. Neither one of us. Ana is a friend of ours, and she is having a baby".
"Oh, well sweetie, I'm really happy you get to experiment this, is amazing what a woman's body can do. You should enjoy it", she says.
I can see my grandmother feels something is out of place and doesn't push the subject.
"Well, it was great to meet every one of you, and I thank you for the warm welcome. I have to go, but I hope I can see all of you soon", Ana says.
"Wait, we go with you", Elliot says.
"You are going? Come on, we never come here to visit. Stay", Luke says.
"Yes, you should stay, I'll see you later", Ana tries to convince Elliot and me.
"Food is ready!", my dad says. He was in the backyard doing the stakes. "Oh, hey guys, I didn't know you were here. Come on, before this get's cold or Ethan eats everything, he is already sitting at the table", he says and rolls his eyes.
Interesting. My dad doesn't like him.
"Let's go". My grandma and grandpa said at the same time and each one takes one of Ana's hands and leads her to the backyard.
"Come on, dear, you have to eat for the baby. If you really want to, you can go after dessert", my grandma says.
I guess Ana is staying.
Author's note: So, what do you think?
I have a story in my mind about Ana being in the hospital with Ray and being friend's with Grace, that's who she meets Christian, who is married...
I don't know if that is something I read somewhere or if it's a plot bunny... Does anyone knows a story like that or should I work on it for later?
Let me know :)
