Chapter 5 Later on after our honeymoon, Alex dropped by for a visit. Erol was gone, so we were just there alone chatting random situations. Alex joked, " I remember when Erol and I were friends in the prison. He actually was the one that helped me get out of prison!" I looked at her funny.
"You were friends with him?" I asked. She nodded, "Yea! It was cool... I'm so happy he let me out." I was actually working with Erol in the prison before we admited our feelings towards each other, and before all this crazyness happened. He never mentioned Alex for some odd reason. Alex had a feeling that she might have said something wrong, " Oh.. Um sorry if this is bothering you, Laona. I'll stop." I looked down, thinking on what I was going to do. I've been wanting to tell somebody that I was pregnent with his baby...
"Alex.. I need to tell you something." I said in a serious tone. She looked at me concerned, "Yea, what?" I looked down and smiled. "... I'm... Pregnent." I said quietly. A few seconds went by, and it was quiet.. Suddenly, Alex grinned, and squeeled like a little girl jumping up. She laughed hugging me. "Congratulations!" She squeeled. I laughed patting her back. "Why did you not tell anybody?" She asked me curiously. I scratched my head, " Your brother. He's still moping around cause I love Erol and not him anymore." Alex shrugged, "Yea.. He still cares about you."
Alex sat down again. "So how long, and what do you think it's gonna be...?" She asked happily. I relaxed myself, "A little over a month.. and Erol wants a boy naturally. I'd like a girl. But who knows..." Something on Alex's wrist watch beeped, and she turned it off looking at it. "Laona, I need to be somewhere.. Congratulations, and goodluck! See you later!" Alex got up and walked out. I waved goodbye even though I knew she didn't see it. "Oy vey.." I said, rubbing my tummy. "You cause so much trouble even before you're born, kid..."
--- Switching on to the Naughy Ottsel where Alex is ---
Alex walked into the Naughty Ottsil looking as happy like a kid at Christmas. "What are YOU so happy about..." Torn grumbled while playing chess with Jak. She sat down at the bar and just said, "Oh... Nothing.." Daxter then popped up, and smirked at Alex, " Well that doesn't sound like nothing!" Alex frowned, "It's good news, but I bet Torn won't like it." Everybody had their own predictions. Their own predictions were similar to eachother, and that was that the good news was relating towards about Erol and me.
Then Torn said, "Just spill it, sis. I don't think anything else can make me this misserable." Alex looked at Torn, "She said it might upset you." Torn's eyes widened thinking about what it probably was. " Well she's doing very well being pregnent having so much fun wit-." Jak's eyes even widened! " She's pregnent?" Jak said nurvisly. Torn looked at the chess board that set infront of him in utter descust. "WHOO! Never heard the day that Erol likes bangi-" Daxter started to say, but Torn grabbed his throat, and tossed him to the other side of the room. Torn then just supported his head on his hand that supported onto the table. "Figures.. That mothe-" Torn started to say, but Jak inturrupted, "HEY WOH! Keep it atleast PG -13! Please! Well that's just a big suprise for all of us." Jak laughed.
"Well ANYWAY.. I was over at their appartment and visited Laona. Erol was called up to a meeting, so he wasn't there." Alex started off. Then with out of knowhere, I decided to drop by. As soon as I walked in with my sweat pants and a hoodie with my hair tied back, everybody looked at me. "Well look who's here..." Torn said at the wrong moment. "I don't need a lecture, Torn." I said boredly.
Jak couldn't help but stare at me, still shocked that I was pregnent. He kinda freaks out on some things like that. I walked over close to him, and once I got close enouph, like about a foot, he was leaning so far back staring at me like an innocent child, that when I looked at him, he yelped in a low tone, "Woh..!" as he fell right on his little bee hind! I blinked twice suprised he actually did that for no apparent reason.
I sat down next to Alex, and took something out of the pocket of my hoodie. It was the dagger like sword blade Torn gave to me a few years back. I then put it on the table, right infront of Torn, well next to the chess board ofcourse! " I won't be needing this, Torn... I thought you'd like it back." Torn's attitude changed into his sad mopy stage again.
He sighed, taking the weapon and holding it. "What happened, Laona? We were doing so great." He said calmly and gently. " To let you know Torn.. I don't know really. Something came over me when Erol came back. I've loved him longer, and I've known him longer when you fall in love with somebody you're hooked for life." I said.
Then, Torn took my hand and with the other, handed me back the weapon, locking his other hand between the weapon, my hand, and his again. "Keep it." He said in a firm friendly tone. I smiled, and nodded, "Will do." He then let go, and I put the weapon back in my pouch in my hoodie. I sighed, "Erol is going to be back at the appartment in about a half hour... I should probably go." Alex, Jak, and Daxter were just listening to us getting along with eachother again. I got up looking at Torn. "Friends?" I stuck out my hand. Torn got up and smirked, shaking my hand, "Friends. And congratulations on your um... Well you know what I'm talking about"
I looked at Alex. She looked imbarrased, avoiding eye contact. I laughed, "It's ok now, Alex. I have nothing to hide anymore. I was just scared of Torn's reaction." I then turned myself back to Torn. "See you guys later." I said, walking out the door. Torn just sighed and sat down again, and Jak said, "Now where were we.."
