Chapter 7: It Awakens part 4
Bronny and Jolyne walked down the street, downtown Naples was especially busy today, people and tourists filled the streets, making walking kinda hard. "Why do have to live so damn far?" Jolyne whined, "and why can't we just take a cab to your house?" Bronny rolled his eyes, "if you must know, I enjoy walking home," he replied, "and besides, its good exercise." "Yeah, exercise," Jolyne muttered, "my ass." As the two walked through the crowds, Joshua paced behind them, he looked around them, making sure no one else was following them, "any moment now," he said, "with so many people here, anyone of them could be the enemy, I need to make sure Jolyne doesn't go out of sight." Bronny and Jolyne approached the crosswalk, as they began to cross, a car pulled up in front of them. "Hey there Bronny," the man in the car said, "looks like those rumors were true, congrats." Bronny rolled his eyes, "chill out Dre, it's not like that," Bronny replied, "we're just friends, that's all." Dre raised an eyebrow, "yeah yeah, friends," he said, "aye yo, you tryin to come to my place, I got an open house." Bronny shrugged, "I don't know man, I gotta take the Jolyne home, and then I got studying to do…" "Studying?" Dre said, "studying for what? School just started dude, come on, my house is empty bro, lets hang for a bit, you can bring ya girl if you want." Bronny sighed, "fine, just for a bit," he looked at Jolyne, "you wanna come?" "Sure, got nothing better to do," she replied. The two entered Dre's car, Joshua saw this from the crowd, "they're leaving," he muttered, "I need a way to follow them, before they get too far."
"Thanks for coming with me Narancia," Giorno said, "no problem," replied Narancia, "I'm just as worried about Trish as you are." The two entered the hospital, "hello," the front desk worker said, "how can I help you?" "We're here to visit a friend," Giorno said, "Trish Una?" The worker typed on her computer, "yes, she's in room 209, take the stairs on the right and it will be the first door on the left." Giorno nodded and led Narancia to the stairwell. Once they climbed the stairs, they went to the door, "this must be it," Giorno said. He knocked on the door, no answer, "Trish?" Narancia called out, "you think she's in here?" "Yeah, let's just go in," replied Giorno. Giorno opened the door, but no one was in the room. "Hello?" Giorno called out, "is anyone in here?" The two heard a noise come from the bathroom, Narancia moved towards the bathroom door and opened it, "Trish?" He said, "are you-"
Narancia paused, he slowly closed the door and backed off. Giorno tilted his head and moved towards him, "Narancia," he said, "is Trish in there?" Narancia nodded and sat in a chair besides the bed, his face a crimson red. Giorno walked towards the door, as he went to open it, a hand stopped him. Trish peaked from behind the door, her face the same color as Narancia's. "C-can you please give me a moment?" She said, Giorno nodded, closing the door. "I-I saw her, her…" Narancia stuttered, "don't say it!" Giorno snapped, "I know what you are going to say, don't say it." Trish exited the bathroom, she was now covered up with a robe, "I didn't realize you were coming at this time," she said. "We didn't think anyone was in here, sorry," Giorno replied. Trish sat down on the bed, looking to the floor. "So, uh, how are you today?" Narancia asked, "are you feeling better?" Trish shrugged her shoulders, still looking to the floor, "could you leave us Narancia," she said, "just for a bit." Narancia was taken aback, but he agreed and left Giorno and Trish alone. "Is something wrong Trish?" Giorno asked, "I'm pregnant." Giorno's eyes widened, "w-what?" He said, "I didn't hear you clearly, did you say you're…" Trish nodded, her face beginning to blush. Giorno looked around the room, he sat in a seat and thought about this, dramatic news. "Are you sure?" He asked, "you know those things can be-" "The doctors did tests, multiple to be exact," Trish replied, "I'm sure." Giorno looked at Trish intensively, "I'm," he began, "I'm at a loss for words, I, I can't really believe it." Trish brushed her hair to the side and smiled, "I'm in my first week, I think," she said, "the doctors said that's why I had stomach pains." Giorno nodded and looked to the floor, "you're going to be a father Giorno," Trish said, "I thought you would be more excited." "I am, I just…" Giorno stood up, "with all of this murder business, this was something I never expected." Trish smiled and stood, she leaned into Giorno and hugged him, "forget that, lets focus on this positive," she said, rubbing his chest. Giorno chuckled, "yeah, I guess we can." Just as the two were about to kiss, Narancia busted into the room, "Trish is pregnant!"
"Damn Dre, your house is massive!" Bronny and Jolyne entered the house, it was like a mansion inside. "Hey, when your parents make bank, you get the spoils," Dre responded. Bronny and Jolyne sat on the couch while Dre went to the kitchen, "I'll get yawl some drinks," he said, "my mom makes some kick ass berry juice." "That'd be cool thanks," Bronny replied, "say, where are your parents, I remember them being more of the stay at home type." "Oh, uh, they went out on some work-related thing," Dre said, "I didn't know they were leaving until yesterday." Jolyne suddenly clinched her nose, "Jesus Dre!" She exclaimed, "what's that smell, it's like something died in here." Dre stopped in his tracks, he cursed under his breath, "its, it's just the dirty clothes from the game, I haven't cleaned them yet." Bronny chuckled, "that's gross dude," he said, "that shit smells like death." "It's because it is," a voice said, it didn't belong to anyone in the house. Bronny and Jolyne looked to where they heard the voice, Jolyne gasped, "J-Joshua!?" Joshua stood in the doorway to the house, "sorry," he said, "am I crashing the party?"
