Thanks a lot!
Chapter 15: News
Trying to get that man to go out with her was a thing, telling him she was expecting his child though was on another whole level of impossible.
Her worst fears came to reality.
What she had to do was tell Vergil she was carrying his child, boy this was going to be hell.
She didn't want to do it right away but Kyrie just wouldn't stop bugging her until she broke the news to the baby's father. She wanted to hold the information to herself for as long as she could, but she did not have much longer. Kyrie tried to guarantee in every way possible that Anne's situation would turn out to be as good as hers: a happy daddy and a relieved mom, but deep down she knew that what would happen was far from being good; she only hoped it wouldn't be so horrible.
That day would be the day. As soon as she walked back in Devil May Cry Anne went to knock on Vergil's door. As soon as she heard him approaching the door she took a deep breath.
Vergil looked at her and only said a cold "What do you want?". She wanted to coward away and turn back on her heels and leave as fast as she could, but if she didn't tell him right away she surely wouldn't be able to do it later.
"May I come in? It's really important.", she said while looking at the floor and fidgeting profusely. She liked him but she knew it wasn't mutual. It took her a good few weeks to realize that what came and went between them was absolutely nothing. It had been just an indiscretion.
He gave her space to step in his room and closed the door so then no one would hear their conversation.
She figured she would go straight to the point before she changed her mind once again and walked right back outside. She cleared her throat anf finally begin speaking, "Well, I've been feeling strange, nausea, morning sickness, and we all know what it is the likely cause, and since we had unprotected sex, I believe you know what I'm trying to get at. I did a home pregnancy test and yes I'm pregnant."
The whole time he just stared blankly at her, not uttering a word. She knew he wouldn't be as welcoming as Nero was, so she decided to go and tell him she had an appointment in three hours at the city's main hospital. She waited until the last minute to break the news to him. She told herself that she had up until the day of her appointment to tell him. And that is exactly how it all played out to be. He only nodded his head, then she decided to go and try to do just like Kyrie suggested.
"Would you like to accompany me?"
She waited what seemed like an hour only to receive another nod from her baby's father.
She wanted to believe this was going to be ok, that he would be as loving and caring as Nero was, but still she expected something very unpleasant to happen.

Anne was ready to go to her appointment, and so was the alleged father of her child. Vergil was clad all black and with two helmets in hand. He had a very boring expression plastered on his face. In no time they both reached the garage.
Both went silent the whole way to the main hospital, Vergil just looked as if he didn't care at all, she felt it, it was making her sick.
Arriving at the parking lot he took off his helmet and hopped off the bike not even waiting nor helping her off.
"We're here.", he stated with so much spite, such hatred, that she couldn't hold what was growing and growing in her soul.
"So, if it's such a bother to you being here, why don't you go back and stay there for all I care! I don't need you here this way, you clearly don't want to be here. I can take care of myself!"
He didn't say another word, just turned around and took off with his bike.
She knew it, he wouldn't be as adoring and loving of a father as Nero. Now she felt even worse than she did before.
Alone and pregnant. That was her life now.
But she had to move on, she had an appointment, she had always lived on her own, why did it have to change now? No, she wouldn't be crying over a male, even if deep inside she cared and loved him in a weird twisted way. She just wanted attention, someone to share her days with. Well, she actually got it now.
She entered the hospital, did her ultrasound, found out she was carrying a baby boy, and fortunately he was healthy and developing just fine. It did take her a while to actually go to a hospital and so she had just entered her third trimester.
She would never ever again ask for anything, and from now on she would go back to her old house, find another job and raise her child on her own without anyone's pity.

She arrived and went straight to Dante's room so she could sort things out with him. She owed him that much.
"Dante, could I talk to you?"
"Sure, just say it."
"I'd like to quit my job. I thank you for everything you've done to me so far, but now I have other matters that need to be taken care of."
"And these matters would be?", he said boldly. Her change of heart was way out of character.
She sighed, she had to tell him too, so she would make it quick. She would just pull the bandaid.
"Dante, I just found out I'm pregnant, and the father doesn't want to be part of its life, so I no longer can live under the same roof as he does.", she stated clearly, not making the conversation open for discussions..
Dante knew she was talking about his brother, he just didn't figure his 'Mr. Right-Knows Everything brother' would be the insensitive jerk type.
"Did he tell you to get out? You can tell me, cause if he did kick you out he has another thing coming..."
"No I decided it myself, he didn't say anything related to it."
"Then why do you want to leave?"
"Dante please.", she pleaded, she didn't want to argue over it, she was already emotionally exhausted.
"You won't go before he hears a piece of my mind...", Dante said, already rising from his bed and heading straight to his brother's room.
Anne just tried to hold him back, but it was no use. He entered his brother's room without even knocking. He started lecturing his brother right away (Yes...Dante's lecturing Vergil)
"How could you do that to her, you bastard?"
Vergil didn't even look at him, making Dante angrily storm towards Vergil.
"Did what?"
"Don't be cynical, you know damn well what I am talking about!"
"My life is none of your concern."
"I never thought you would do this, Vergil, I always thought you were the wise one, the one supposed to be lecturing me not the other way around!"
Vergil looked coldly at his younger twin and his one night stand, who by the way looked petrified right on the doorway.
"If you keep it so bad, be my guest, go be its father, I do not care. To hell with it."
"You didn't mean that.", Dante said as he saw the girl almost pass out behind him.
"I meant every single word. NOW LEAVE!"
Hell broke loose, even Nero had to get involved in the fight...to separate the two brothers who were killing each other right in front of Anne. She was crying her heart out. She simply slid across the wall and held her pregnant belly why the sobs came in from deep within her body.
She felt guilty, since she was the one who made them fight, even though Kyrie was trying to soothe her and make her stop it. But it was no use. The sobs were just too strong for her to be able to fight them.
