Harley

Groaning at the disturbing loud ringing of my cellphone . Pulling it roughly under my pillow , I stare at the unknown number on my screen . The time read 03: 25 am . Who is calling me at so late . Swiping the answer button , I place the phone on my ear . " Harley , it's Zack ." the familiar Italian voice said on the other side of the phone . Rubbing my eyes with the other hand , I sit up on my bums . " Zack?" I repeated the name as if I were confirming it .

"Yes , my apologies for calling you this late . Carzyel is keeping me up ." his raspy accented voice whispered . Carzyel was the name of their daughter? Unique name but it made sense since he was Italian and Rosa was Mexican . "Oh yes right sorry . It's no problem how I was going to be anyway . Peanut is hungry ." I kept my voice audible . Something about this accented voice that calms the room . The last time I saw him , he was raging in anger and he was punching Spencer because he had hurt me . " I know all about the 3 am snacks , Rosa woke me up with her. How're you and the baby ?" his playful tone changed to genuine concern .

" We're doing so much better . I'm healing and recovering well and Peanut is growing . I should be going to my first check up next week . How is Rosa and the baby , who does she look like ?" I answered genuinely and in curiosity. One could hear the smile and love radiating from his voice . He truly is devoted to his wife and child. The man worshipped the ground Rosa walked on . "Rosalie is very delighted to be a mother , I've never seen my wife's eyes fill with so much love when she holds our baby girl . My beautiful universe has dirty blonde hair , she has stole her mother's eyes . I too get lost in them , her eyes entrap my soul . She has my mother's freckles on her cheeks but she holds my face . Of course my wife is not happy about that fact but she's in love with her . " my heart tugged in envy and admiration when Zack spoke about his daughter .

There was no doubt or whatsoever that this man loved his family . " She sounds like she's an angel . What did you guys name her ?" I found myself asking . " Carzyel is Rosa's late grandmother's name , Aretha is my mother's name ." he mused . I had a feeling they did all that to honour their families as it were their first grandchild. "And what did you name her ?" he chuckled after my question . " Ginevra" the name rolled off his tongue ever so sweet . This child had a mouthful of name . " Carzyel Aretha Ginevra Cog " I tested the names and they were indeed a mouthful . "Mouthful right?" he said in a chuckle . " How are you and Spencer ?" he suddenly asked .

" We're not speaking . I'm not ready yet but we're living together along with my adoptive children . He is not accepting of this pregnancy even though he is so good with Karishma . " my voice was barely audible . "Give him time , he's never one to show whatever he's feeling but he'll pull through . You know you can't raise a newborn in an unhealthy environment . Even unborn babies feel the stress their mothers are in . You might want to avoid any kind of stress , Harley ."

Rosa is truly blessed with an amazing man .

" Have you spoken to him since the incident?" I had to ask . He was quiet for a minute before sighing.

" No , we haven't spoken since . I refuse to tolerate abuse towards women in my life especially when it came from someone who knows everything about my past ."

"And Harley ?"

" Yes?"

" I'm sorry you had to go through that ."

" Thank you ,Zack . You calling means a lot to me . "

" You're family Harley and we take care of family . We love you okay . I have to go now Ginevra is asleep , Rosalie is waiting for me . Take care ."

" Thank you so much Zack . Tell Rosa I'll see her and baby Nevra soon ."

"Will do ." and with that he hung up .

The phone call made me realise that the gang considered me family . Thinking back to the day at the hospital , they all turned their backs on him to protect me from him . They stood up to me . Like big brothers and sisters . I was now expecting a call from Jayda and Zay . The couple that looked like siblings . I wasn't sure about Max but I had hope that he'll be checking up on me too . Anne obviously would but as for Mavlin . I'm not too sure . Him and I aren't even close . We could be in the same room together and not speak . But overall , the gang cared for me .

I know it wasn't fair of me to be jealous that Rosa was blessed with a man like Zack but I couldn't help it . The man was everything a woman could ask for and he did everything in his power to ensure that his wife is happy . I envied her but I shouldn't be . Rosa has been so good to me . The woman had no heart for hatred . She was good to everyone , everyone except for Altagracia.

Altagracia .

She's still coming for me .
