AnPOV:
I have to tell him. I thought as I walked up the stairs to his door. I knocked and opened it when I heard him shout, "Come in."
He was lying on his bed throwing a basketball into the air and catching it.
"Hey. What happened to you this morning?" He asked sitting up and holding out his arms for me.
I shook my head. "Apollo I have to tell you something," I said still standing in the doorway.
"What is it?" He asked coming over to stand in front of me.
"I…I…. I can't." I said and ran out of the room. I ran out of the house and through multiple yards to my house.
I grabbed a bag and through as much cloths in it as possible. I grabbed my money stash (over 5000 dollars) as well as a credit card I had hooked up to the Dragomir and Ivashkov accounts, but it was untraceable, so mom and dad will never know it.
I grabbed my car keys and walked into the garage. I put my bag in the back seat of my Mercedes guard. Then walked back into the house. "Mom, I'll meet you guys at the wedding, I just have something I need to take care of."
"That's fine sweet heart."
I went back to my car, got in and drove off.
ApPOV:
"I'm Sorry. I…I…. I can't." She said and ran out of the room. She. She regrets everything. Those were the same words she used when she ran out on me the first time.
I fell backwards onto my bed. I put an arm over my eyes.
"Apollo, you need to…. honey did she tell you? You shouldn't take you that badly." My mom said when she walked into my room with the suit I was supposed to wear to Aunt Saff's wedding.
"Mom! She just told me she couldn't be with me then ran out!" I yelled.
"Wait. What were her exact words?"
I repeated the conversation.
"Honey. She meant she couldn't tell you about what we did this morning. We went to the doctor's office. You are going to be a father." She said looking me in the eyes.
Holy Shit. I was going to be a father. The woman I loved was carrying my child. And she couldn't tell me.
I pulled my cell phone off of my bedside table and punched in Andria's number. It went straight to voice mail. I dialed Jade's number.
"Paulie! Waz up?" She shouted into the phone.
"Jade! Where's Andria?" I asked, frantic.
"Um, she just drove off somewhere. Wh…" I hung up on her. I grabbed my keys and rand down stairs into the basement. I shove the keys into the ignition and took off.
Now for those of you who don't know, if you are driving a cherry red Ferrari in a small town in Pennsylvania, traffic sort of stops, making it really easy to move through cars.
I picked up my phone, driving one handed. I opened up an app on my phone. Danny had designed it and only him and I had it. I punched in Andria's phone number. It gave me an address: it was a small motel just down the street. Thank God! I sped up, and came to a screeching stop in front of the motel.
I found it hard to believe that Andria would chose to stay here, but her car was here, so she must be here. That car was like her baby…her baby…my baby. The place wasn't the best; in fact it was probably one of the worst. A few of the windows had shattered glass; others were missing the glass entirely. It was the kind of place where you look under the bed covers before you get into bed to make sure there were no cockroaches or anything like them.
I walked into the main building; it was one of those motels where all the room doors go to the outside instead of a hallway. The woman manning the front desk was reading a magazine and the cloths she was wearing would make Jade look like a nun in comparison.
"Um. I'm looking for someone who I think may be here…" I said to her.
"Hm. What do you want me to do about it?" She asked, still looking at her magazine.
"Can you tell me which room she is in?" I was getting impatient now.
"What's their name?" The girl asked, finally looking up. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"Her name is Andria Ivashkov." I said smirking.
"Room 4." The girl said, finally recovering from her shock.
As I walked out of the building, I could feel her eyes raking over me. Whatever. I walked over to the door with the number 4. I knocked on it and the door opened.
There she was. She tried to slam the door, but I stuck my foot into the door.
"And. We need to talk." I said as I pushed the door open and walked into the room, "My mom told me. You need to come back, we don't know what the baby will do to you…you need your mom, or at least mine! They know what spirit induced pregnancies are like!" I was ticked. Then I saw her stomach. It was huge. "Andria? Why are you so big?" I asked. There was no way that the baby had done that. Yesterday she had had a flat stomach and now it was huge.
"Well, you know how long spirit users are pregnant. It takes them like nine months! Well I'm a spirit user! And both of my parents are spirit users. So my rate is increased ten-fold. I was in the car and my stomach just started to get huge! So I pulled over here." As she was saying this, her stomach seemed to grow even larger.
"Come on we're going home." I said. I grabbed the bag that sat on her bag it looked like it was untouched. I took her hand in my other hand and we walked to my car. I had just sat down when she spoke, "So you aren't mad?"
"Not at all. Why would I be? The girl I love is having my baby." I said incredulous.
"Well I'm glad you feel that way." She seemed out of breath, "Because my water just broke." Her face seemed to get paler as she said the last second. Crap. That was the only thought I registered before I took off towards court; the only place that would be able to deliver the baby correctly.
"Apollo. I don't think we'll make it to court. The baby is coming. Now." Double Crap!
A.N. Well this chapter was a lot longer, but I had to take a brake between writing it and when I exited I pressed don't save instead of save. But I did my best to rewrite it.
