Chapter Three
Jazabell woke up and stretched. She looked at Zane and saw that he was still asleep. She looked around and also saw that he had brought some of her clothes here. She quietly got up and got changed. She was now wearing a white vintage summer dress and her converse sneakers. Silently, she walked downstairs and then outside to the backyard. She looked around the yard and sighed until she spotted an old tree swing. She walked over to it and sat down, swinging some.
She cringed a little at the pain in her stomach. She had no clue what it was from for a moment until she thought about what happened after the bath tub incident. "Oh god…" She whispered to herself and looked at her stomach. She then got up and ran to the woods and threw up. She now knew what was going on. "How am I going to tell him?…" She whispered to herself. "Tell who what?" Zane asked curiously and kissed her neck softly, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Morning beautiful." He said and kissed her neck more. "Hey. Morning." She replied softly with a smile, trying to hide her nervousness. "So, what would you like to do today?" He asked curiously. "Well, do you think we could go back to my place and get my stuff?" She asked. He nodded his head with a smile. He knew what that meant, but he still had no idea about Jazabell's secret.
They began to walk through the woods, back to Jazabell's home. The walk was silent, no one spoke at all. Jazabell was in deep thought until Zane cleared his throat loudly, interrupting her train of thought. All of a sudden she stopped and held her stomach. Zane turned and looked at her to see her crouched over, holding her stomach. He quickly walked over and held her hair out of her face as she got sick. "Jazabell, are you feeling okay?" He asked a bit nervously as he checked to see if she had a temperature. She didn't, so this made him even more nervously. She spit and then cleared her throat. "I'm fine. Just drank too much last night. That's all." She said and continued walking.
Zane followed behind her to make sure she was fully okay. After awhile he walked next to her till they approached her home. Lux, Jazabell's sister, ran outside and hugged her tightly. "Jazabell!" She chimed out. "Hey, Lux." She said and hugged her back with a smile. Lux's eyes widened as she found out her secret. "Does he know?" She asked Jazabell curiously through thoughts. She looked at Zane then back at her sister and shook her head. "Well, when do you plan on telling him?" She asked in thoughts again. "I don't know." Jazabell replied in thoughts then blocked everyone out of her mind. "Is dad home?" She asked curiously. "Nope. Just me, mom-" She said then stopped when she saw Zane. A soft yet loud growl came from Lux's chest. "What is he doing here?" She yelled out at Jazabell in a growl. "He's changed, Lux." She growled back at her sister. Lux phased and bared her teeth at them. Jazabell pushed back Zane and phased. She bared her teeth back at her sister and bristled her fur, growling loudly. Zane quickly got up and got in front of them. "What the hell are you two doing. Your sisters! Do you like harming each other? Look if I am hated that much I will leave." He yelled at the two of them. Jazabell phased back immediately with tears in her eyes. Lux looked at her tearful sister's eyes and put her ears back in sorrow. She phased back. "Don't leave… I'll pack your stuff up, Jaz…" Her voice trailed off as she walked into the house.
Zane started to walk back into the words. Jazabell just stood there looking down then fell to her knees in tears. "I should've known I was just going to get hurt again.." She whispered to herself through the tears. Zane stopped and looked back at her. She was on her knees with her head in her hands, crying. He walked back to her and sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her. She leaned against him. "I can't lose you again, Zane. Especially since your going to be a father." She whispered to him. He didn't know what to do now. "I'll always be here." He said, that was all he could get out. He kissed her head. "I'm not going anywhere, baby." He said and smiled, happy that he was going to be a father.
Lux cleared her throat loudly. "Your stuff is packed…" Her voice trailed off again as she shut the trunk of her sister's car. Jazabell cleared her throat and sniffled, wiping away her tears, she got up and walked over to Lux and hugged her tightly. "I won't forget you." She said. "After all, whose going to be my baby's godmother if your gone?" Jazabell said with a small smile. Lux smiled and hugged her back. "Tell everyone that I love them and that I will visit." She said as she got into the car with Zane. "Bye Jazzy." Lux said with tears in her eyes. "Bye." She replied and drove off. She felt horrible as she saw her sister on her knees crying now in the rearview mirror. She moved the mirror and drove faster back to her new home.
The car ride was quiet till they got there. Zane unpacked the car and brought her stuff in. "I'll be back in a bit." She said as she drove off. He watched her drive off. He was worried about her, especially since he found out that she was pregnant. He went inside and unpacked her stuff.
Jazabell drove to the beach that her and her sister would always go to. It was there secret place. Jazabell leaned back in her car and closed her eyes as she thought about her new life with Zane. When she opened her eyes it was dark out, she soon realized that she had fallen asleep. She turned the car back on and checked her phone. She had sixteen missed calls from her sister. She called Lux. "Jazabell we need you here. Please come over." Lux sounded completely pissed off, there was lots of yelling in the background as well. "Okay, I'll be right over." She said then hung up. She backed up then headed towards her old home.
She pulled to a stop in front of the house and turned the car off, then got out. Walking up the steps of the house she heard all the yelling. Jazabell rushed in to see her sister and mom, Kihomi, yelling at each other. Lux soon stormed off to her room. Alex, their little brother came running over to Jazabell and hugged her. "Ell!" Alex said happily. Ell was Jazabell's nickname given by Alex. "Hey Alex." She said smiling some. "Is Zane here, hun?" She asked him curiously. He nodded and took her hand, pulling her to their father's study. There was yelling and lots of it in there. "Alex go up to your room. Okay?" She asked him. He nodded and ran upstairs to his room. She opened the door and walked in. "What's with the yelling? I can hear everyone from outside." She said to the two of them. They ignored her and continued yelling. "Hey!" Jazabell yelled as loud as she could. This caught their attention, the room went silent. "What the hell is going on here?" She asked firmly, almost yelling. "Nothing." He father muttered. Zane just looked down. "Someone spill it. Now!" She yelled and cringed a bit, holding her stomach a little. "It's nothing. We were just finishing up." Zane said to her then walked out and to his car and sped off. Jazabell groaned. "Nice dad. Nice." She growled out and ran out to her car and sped off after him. Her father just sat down with his hands on his desk without a care.
She soon flagged him down and got him to pull over. She got out and walked over to his side of the car. "Zane." She said as she knocked on the window. He rolled it down and looked at her, something was different about him. His eyes were red and he was really pale. "Zane?…" She asked cautiously. "What!" He yelled to her. Jazabell stumbled backwards angrily and got back into her car in a hurry and drove off in a hurry to her new home.
She pulled to an abrupt stop in front of the house. He wasn't home yet. She sighed and got out then walked inside, slamming the door shut behind her. She screamed at the top of her lungs. She was so pissed and tired of people yelling at her. She went upstairs and brought down a pillow and a blanket then went to sleep on the couch. She was tired, in a bad mood, and didn't really care where he was at the moment.
