Storm

Change

~~~~~~Jacob POV~~~~~~

"Yes? Who is it?" A voice rang through the door, you could tell it was masculine.

As soon as the door swung open Gia ran through and embraced her father.

"Dad!" She sniffled and hugged him tightly.

His eyes widened as he hugged her and looked at me.

"Jacob." He nodded at me.

I nodded back and walked inside as Gia and him pulled apart. Gia stood there wiping tears from her eyes and looked at her dad.

"I'm sorry..." She sniffled.

"It's alright, Princess, what matters is that you're here now." He smiled and kissed the top of her head.

She smiled at him before looking down at her hands.

"Where's mom?" Gia asked.

Mr. Carter hesitated before pointing up stairs.

"Go check the guest room, Gia" he smiled as she ran up the steps and down the hall. I followed behind Gia until I felt a hand on my chest stop me. Mr. Carter signaled for me to go sit on the couch.

"I'd like to speak to you son." His deep voice echoed through the living room.

~~~~~~Gia POV~~~~~~

I grasped the bronze doorknob and entered. My breathing was somewhat heavier since I ran up the steps just to get here. I could hear light snores as I approached closer to the center of the room. There was a big white curtain that covered the bed. I placed a hand on the curtain with a big smile on my face until I saw a blood stain on the curtain. I heard coughing from inside of the curtain and shifting under the sheets.

I pushed the curtain away and walked over to the other side of the bed.

"Giovanni?" My mom's voice was very weak....fragile, it scared me.

"No mommy, it's Giovanna" I kneeled down to her as her eyes opened weakly and a small smile rose on her face.

"You made it baby." She put a hand on my cheek and caressed it.

I smiled before leaving a kiss on her forehead.

"What's wrong? Everything was just fine last time I was here" I asked her.

"That thing." She pointed at my belly.

My eyes widened as I remembered...I never even told her about the baby.

"How do you know?" I questioned.

"A mother knows everything. Plus I told you two to make a baby....but I told you not to make a bastard baby. As long as you marry before that baby pops out of you, everything will be fine. Believe me when I say this Gia....you and Jacob have impeccable ability, and that baby will inherit them. Things will get strange but it will be worth it. I told you to have that baby because the Anti- PWC is after us elders. Since your father is a veteran, they're willing to let him stay. As for me....I'm worthless to them, so PWC like me were supposed to be exterminated within the next few months after they did their little home searches. As your baby grows...I become weaker. Gia...that baby is much stronger than I thought it would be. As it grows, my powers strain and his or hers expand in strength. I'd rather me leave and you have a ball of sunshine rather than me leave and you'll be mad at the world. Giovanna....things are gonna get hard baby, but stay strong. Mommy will always be there over your shoulder. I love you, and I want you to remember that." She sighed as she finished her speech before coughing.

I handed her a glass of water and held her hand.

"So you basically sacrificed yourself to let me have a baby who would make me happy?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Trust me Gia...I know what I'm doing." She faced the ceiling and closed her eyes.

~~~~~~Jacob POV~~~~~~

"To sum things up, I'd like to thank you for taking care of my daughter. We didn't start off good, but I wanted to let you know that you're welcome at anytime." Mr. Carter patted my back and smiled at me.

He pulled me in for a hug, got up and walked to the bathroom. Gia walked out of the room and stood up at the top of the stairs. She stared at the ceiling before tears flowed from her eyes. I ran up the steps and embraced her tightly as I felt my shirt soak up the little water drops. She wiped her tears and opened the door to a room that said "Giovanni" in messy handwriting. As she walked in a aroma of axe flowed out.

She chuckled before whispering.

"He always wanted to be grown...so he would put on axe to "impress the ladies" as he called it"

She bit her lip and sat on his bed. She sniffled and picked up a few of his toys. Gia shook her head and walked out of the room before heading to her old room.

"I can't do this...something's gotta give." Gia jumped on her bed and laid face flat.

"I'm gonna change this shit somehow." I said out loud.
