Chapter 15.
Amanda stood outside of Dominick's apartment. She needed to discuss with Dominick so many things. She had to keep her own emotions away from Olivia. Amanda didn't want her emotions get away with her and destroy their friendship. That was one of so many reasons why she decided to miss work without an excuse. She did not want to be cruel to her.
Amanda knocked on the front door but did not got an answer from Dominick. She quickly opened the door with her spare key and found him in the kitchen.
Sonny turned and looked at Amanda in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing here? I am your girlfriend. I think we need to discuss some important things." She looked at him in disbelief.
"Why didn't you tell me what happened between you and Olivia the morning after you slept with her?" Amanda was in tears.
Dominick heard the anger in Amanda's voice. He understood she was unhappy. But she had to understand something, too. They hadn't chosen to sleep together. He hadn't been given the choice to father Olivia's child or not. Now he and Olivia had to make the best of the situation. That meant they had to build some kind of solid relationship together for the baby's sake.
"Do you really think we wanted to sleep together in the first place? Liv and I were good friends!" Dominick shouted in disbelief
Amanda glared at him as she moved away from his side. She looks at him in disbelief.
He began to speak again, "I know I made a mistake-" Dominick started, but Amanda cut him off.
"More than a damn mistake!"
"I know you're mad at me. I just want to point out. It takes two to make a baby. We both did our part. Olivia, Noah and the baby will have me around. I will support them and take care of them... Did you see how thin she got?"
"I was the one who took her to have her pregnancy confirmed, Dominick. I noticed how thin she had gotten and how sick she was. We discussed the morning after." Amanda huffed as she started to speak again. "I know, there have been already some major changes. For example, You spend a lot of time with Liv. You cook for her. I did not miss it." Amanda was indeed a bit jealous.
Dominick looked at her seriously, she could not mean it the way he had understood it, could she? "Even if you don't like it, I want to make sure, Liv gets the nourishment they both needs. I don't know if you've noticed, but Olivia has not a easy pregnancy."
"I was excited to find out that my best friend was pregnant. But, Sonny... It's not that I'm not happy anymore. I feel overwhelmed to find out that you're the father of the baby."
They stood together in his kitchen, but neither spoke. Amanda was still angry.
"I assume you think that Olivia and I slept together voluntarily?"
"No, I don't. I know neither of you are to blame." She sighed. "I just wonder how you envision the whole situation? We're in a relationship. You're having a baby with my best friend. This is hard to swallow." She ran a hand through her hair.
"I imagined, that Liv and I would co-parent our child together."
Amanda rubbed her face with her hand. "It's not that I have anything against the baby. This little baby will changes everything, in our everyone's life."
He looked at Amanda in bewilderment. "Amanda the baby is innocent no matter how Olivia and I conceived it."
Amanda nodded slowly as she headed for the door. "When were you going to tell me about all this?"
"About what?"
"The legal stuff. Court hearings, arrests, interrogations."
He paused for a moment and began to speak again. "Olivia and I kept this a secret. We didn't want to complicate things. We didn't want to tell you about the crazy lady and her fucking plan. How she taped us having sex..."
Amanda's jaw dropped as her heart ached for Olivia at that moment. Not only had she been violated, but she had to witness it again.
"What does this mean for us?"
Dominick had not expected this question. He just assumed that they would stay together. He loved them... or at least he thinks he still does. Billie and Jesse mean the world to him, and so does Amanda. But things are changing, and it's not just him anymore. There is a baby and Olivia now.
"I have no idea, Amanda. I just kind of assumed that we were going to work through this whole situation together. As a couple."
Amanda nodded slowly, but didn't speak. She grabbed the doorknob and turned it slowly.
"I will be there for both of you as much as I can. I need to be honest. I have no idea how much longer I will be able to do this. My heart hurts," Amanda whimpered.
"What does that mean?" Dominick demanded.
"I'm going to take some time off, maybe go to Atlanta for a while. To be honest, everything is too much right now. You are my friend and Olivia is my best friend. Then some bitch comes along and ruins everything. I don't even know if you want to be with me while you're raising your child with Olivia." with that she closed the door behind her.
