chapter eight
As of right now, Garroth has waken up completely fine after the vase to the head. However, I made sure he was taken to the hospital to check if he had any concussions or injuries. Vylad and Zane don't know that I'm pregnant, and Alex and Vylad are still in a fight.
Mom has not sneak attacked me with one of her surprise visits yet. Key word: yet. She has the tendency to just drop by randomly.
I also haven't seen that Victor dude lately, so I think he died or something.
I have some ideas of who he is. He could be Shawn's brother, or one of Shawn's relatives. He could be an alien from outer space. Or, he could secretly be Shawn dressing up as somebody different just to have another shot with Alex. Either way, she taken buddy!
Today is the day I tell Zane and Vylad about my pregnancy. Speaking of Vylad, this is the day I will make Alex call Vylad so they can work this out. I would prefer for him to be in person for both of those events, but sadly he's not. I'm sure that once he comes back, everything will be okay once again.
I'm currently standing outside Zane's front door, ready to knock whenever I gather enough confidence to do so.
"Will you just knock already? We've been standing out here forever. You're going to get the cops called on us or something."
"Alex, be nice."
Laurance and Alex are here with me. Laurance is here because he's the father, Alex is here for emotional support for Laurance's and I. She's even here for Laurance.
Alex sighs out in frustration. "I got this," She says, grabbing my fist and starting to bang my knuckles against the door. It ends up making the ugliest sounding knock and for pain to shoot up my hand.
Zane opens the door and rolls his eye. He didn't even know who it was yet before he started talking. "Listen, Aphmau, I already told you to leave me the-"
"I'm not Aphmau," I bluntly say, cutting him off.
His eye widens for a millisecond, but he then covers it up with a cough and asks what he can do for me.
I bit my lip. "Zane, I need to tell you something. But, you may want to sit down first."
He nods his head slowly and let us in.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
"HE GOT YOU WHAT?!"
Alex chuckles, "He's taking the news well."
Laurance became puzzled, "How is he taking this well? I may die at any second now, and my child won't have a father."
"He hasn't flipped over a table yet. 'Sides, he's taking it better than Garroth did. Zane at least still has all his windows."
Laurance huffs in annoyance. Zane is taking it a lot better than Garroth. I don't know what Zane expects. Being pregnant or having sex as an adult isn't the worse thing that could possibly happen.
He's still seated on the couch, his eyes wide as his fists are balled up into fight fists. It wouldn't surprise me if his pale skin has crescent shaped markings in it.
He begins to make comments of how he told me to make sure that Laurance kept his hands to himself and how he failed at doing that.
Laurance makes a snappy remark of how that worked out and how Laurance had superiority because he was older.
Their bickering continues until I am able to convince Zane that I am old enough to make my own decisions. His facial expressions are of one of pain, but I know he'll eventually come around and he understands.
He soon walks up to me, and I watch carefully. His arms are then wrapped around me, bringing me into a tight embrace. I then tightly hug him back in the awkward embrace. He really doesn't have the best people skills, but I know he loves me. Zane breaks the hug, and stood in front of Laurance.
"Listen, I have some expectations for you being my sister's baby's father. You need to treat them both with respect and treat them both well. Make them your world, and do anything for them no matter what. Give them all your love. If not, then I will hunt you down and slowly kill you. When it comes to your death, I will be there and be the reasons behind it. And yes, I know I said reasons. There will be many reasons why you died. I will probably be laughing saying you should've listened to me when you could've."
Laurance's eyes widen, and no words could escape his mouth. Instead, he nods his head yes, showing his understanding.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°
I sit on the couch, listening to the dialing on my phone. The same ringing that tells me Vylad hasn't picked up yet.
Alex sits next to me whimpering as my nails sank into her arm. I feel bad for causing her pain, but she was being stubborn.
That's when the dialing stops, and Vylad's voice replaces it. "Hello?"
"Vylad!" I chirp out, an automatic smile spread across my face "I have something to tell you. But first, I need you to sit down." I waited a minute to continue. "Are you sitting?"
"Yeah. . . ?"
"Why did you make that sound like a question? Oh, and are you alone?"
"Did Alex put you up to this?"
"No! No! No! No! I just wanted to make sure. I didn't want to call you if you were busy or with somebody."
"Oh, yeah. I'm sitting, and I'm alone in my hotel room."
"Great!" I take a deep breath in. I didn't think it through of how I would tell him, so all I can do is be straight out with it. "Vylad, I'm pregnant."
Silence.
"Vylad?"
"That's amazing Y/N! Make sure Laurance takes care of you and the baby, okay? Hey, I'll come visit you all sometime. I don't know when yet, but I will. I promise."
"Alright, Vylad. You took this better than both Garroth and Zane did, but I suspected that out of you. Oh, Alex wants to talk to you. Love you, bye!"
"Okay, I love you too!"
I push the phone into Alex's hands, and she is making the 'don't give it to me!' hand motions.
She loses and holds the phone up to her ear, glaring daggers at me.
"H-Hey, Vylad. . ." There is a moment of silence on her end, and I hear the sound of Vylad's voice coming through of the phone, but I can't make out the words he is saying. She starts to tear up. "I miss you too, I'm so sorry Vylad. . . I love you. . ." He replies after her comment, and she smiles. "You are? I'll see you then!" A little more silence happens before the bid goodbyes and end the call.
I elbow her lightly. "Sooooo, you two made up?"
She nods her head. "Everything's fine now 'cause of you. So thank you for doing that." She pulls me into a hug. "I don't know what'd I'd do without my pregnant best friend."
