It had been about a month or so since Shaundi and the boss had begun their relationship. Things were going really well for the two to say the least, and in that short amount of time, the boss knew that Shaundi was the girl for him. He didn't know if she felt that strongly for him yet, but you could tell that the feelings were definitely strong. Through all the gang drama, and being president, Shaundi was always there for the boss. He felt as though she was his ride or die, and he wouldn't have it any other way. And everyday that he was with her, every time they shared a kiss, or made love, he fell deeper and deeper in love with her.
He wouldn't change that for the world.
When they told the rest of homies and saints, their reaction was just about what you would expect from them. They were happy for the new couple, but not surprised in any sense at all. They knew that at one time or another, this relationship, or whatever the hell you wanted to call it, was going to happen. It seemed as though all of the saints knew this fate, and that actually surprised the boss. "Well, it's about fuckin' time you two got together." Johnny Gat had said, causing the boss to laugh.
"Damn." The boss cursed. "Was it really that obvious that we liked each other?" He asked.
"Yup." Asha said simply.
Pierce nodded, "Pretty much."
"Yeah." Matt Miller also added, causing the boss to roll his eyes at his fellow homies. If they all knew, then why the hell didn't they say something earlier? Or help in trying to get them together? He knew that his homies always had his back nonetheless, so maybe they just wanted him to work the courage to get together with her on his own.
"Shaundi, she's a good girl man." Boss said. "I don't know why I didn't try to get with her before."
"It's because you're stubborn as hell." Johnny teased. "And so is she."
"True." Kinzie said, looking up from her laptop for a moment to join in the conversation. "I'm happy for you two, just please, try not to cause any drama, okay?" She asked, her eyes going back down to her laptop, and she began typing furiously.
The boss smirked, "Okay Kinzie, I'll try."
"Where is Shaundi anyway?" Asha asked. "I haven't seen her all day."
The boss then realized that he hadn't seen Shaundi today either, except for when they woke up together. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen her either." He answered. He wondered where she was hiding out in the spaceship at, and why she would be hiding. He hadn't done anything wrong, so hopefully she wasn't mad at him for anything. "That's weird." He commented. "We're together all the time."
Kinzie sighed, "She's in the bathroom." She interrupted.
"She's been in there all day?" The boss asked, and Kinzie nodded. "Wait a second..." He trailed off, "How do you...? Never mind, I'll be back." Boss said, and started to make his way to the bathroom.
Shaundi held her hair back as she retched into the toilet. This was the fifth of sixth time she had thrown up today. "Fuck..." She cursed, as she felt another wave of bile coming up her throat. She had never felt this sick in her life, and today, it had just hit her all of a sudden today, and she didn't know what in the world it was. Food poisoning? Not likely, because she always made sure her food was good. Maybe she had the stomach flu? Who the hell knew? She then rinsed her mouth out once again in the sink, and finally, the reasoning hit her. She and the boss had been having unprotected sex, and now, she was probably pregnant.
She had stopped taking her birth control long ago, because well, to be frank, she didn't think she'd need it in space with only a few people on the ship to sleep with. Shaundi didn't think that she would need it anymore. And she knew that the boss never wore a condom because he assumed that she was and always had been on birth control. The situation was fucked, neither one of them were ready for a kid, especially if they were a part of a gang. They couldn't raise a kid around a situation like that. "Shaundi." The boss knocked on the door, bringing the saint out of her thoughts.
"Shit..." She mumbled, "He can't know." What would he think of her? Would he even want to be with her anymore? Those questions scared the crap out of her, so of course she wouldn't tell him that she was pregnant yet. It was a too risky move after they had only been together for a short amount of time. She just couldn't do it.
"Are you in there Shaundi?" He asked.
"Yeah... I'm sick." She answered in reply, mentally kicking herself for her lame excuse. "It's pretty gross in here."
"Are you okay?" The boss asked, leaning up against the door frame, worried about his girlfriend. "Can I bring you some medicine or something?"
"No, I'll be fine... I think it's just something I ate." She lied again.
"Okay." The boss replied. "Let me know if I can do anything for you." He was trying his best to console her, and make her feel better, but deep down, he knew that she was hiding something. He didn't quite know what it was yet, but he would ask the homies and see if they could help him figure it out.
"I will." Shaundi answered. "I just need to be alone right now."
"Alright Shaundi." Boss said, and left his girlfriend alone.
Shaundi threw up into the toilet once again, "Fuck, fuck, fuck..." She cursed under her breath. How the hell was she going to tell the boss that she was pregnant with his baby?
