Drive Me Wild

Chapter 17 - Duke

I'm such a fucking idiot.

Out of all the things I could have messed up on today, it had to be this.

I'd fucked Abbie without a condom. She's not on birth control.

All the questions I asked her before sex, I forgot about the most important one.

I've never considered having children, I've never even considered even having a woman in my life. Not after the shit show my parents had given me for a childhood. It could be a possibility that I could pass it on to my child.

As much as I am relieved to get rid of this possible baby problem, I feel guilty at the same time. That could be my child in there. Not that it's anywhere near growing into anything, I just shot my load inside her after all.

Driving to a clinic for plan B stirred up old memories that I had spent too long keeping locked shut...

Duke – 8 years old

I had been in my room for almost a whole day now. Dad had told me to stay until he came back for me, but I was hungry. I was lucky enough to have a bathroom connected to my room, but I didn't have a fridge and I ran out of snacks pretty quickly.

My hunger had got the best of me so slowly, I opened my door and peeked around to see if anyone was there.

"Hello?" I quietly ask, still checking for sight of anyone.

Not a single person was seen anywhere, not even dads usual bodyguards that scout the place. It was never like him to not have protection in the house. It's the most important thing to him.

Slowly checking everywhere where someone could be, I still found sight of nobody. It wasn't until I heard distant voices that sounded like they were arguing.

"Mommy?" I call out, concern lacing my voice.

My worries get the better of me and I start to dash down the corridor that leads to the staircase. The voices are getting louder now, and they are angry.

"You will not get rid of my fucking child Demarcus!" My mum screams.

"It's my child too and I don't want it!" My dad argues back.

"How could you not want a baby?"

"Because it could turn out like our mistake of a son!"

A sharp intake of breath causes their heads to snap in my direction. That breath had come from me without realising.

"Duke baby." My mother coos, walking towards me with open arms. "Where have you been for the past day?"

"Dad told me to stay in my room until he came and got me, but I got hungry." I risk a glance at my dad. "I'm sorry dad."

"I forgot to bring you food up. I'm sorry son."

I shrug my shoulders as if it's not a big deal but deep inside I feel hurt. I'm not allowed to show emotion though, dad told me that men can't have emotions.

Mother takes my hands. "I have some exciting news for you."

"What is it?" I excite, almost jumping on the spot.

"You're going to be a big brother!"

"Really?" I question, getting more excited by the minute.

"Oh enough of the bullshit!" My dad roars. "Your mother is not keeping it and you sure as hell will not be a big brother."

"But I want a sibling." I plead.
