Leather In a heaven [Book:2] - EDITED

Chapter 7

~ Ace AltoBelli ~

I've fucked up.

Fucked up big time.

"Mr AltoBelli?" I looked up, watching the nurse looking round the room for me. Immediately, I stood, following her.

She opened the door to the doctors office. I spotted Halo sat facing the doctor, rubbing her knees nervously.

Why the hell do I find that so cute?

"Good morning, Mr AltoBelli." The doctor stood, reaching his hand out. "How are you?" I couldn't give a fuck about pleasantries. I wanted to know what the hell was going on with Halo.

"Fine. How is Halo?" She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. She looked like she wanted to cry and I wasn't so sure why.

Halo called me an hour ago, asking me to meet her here. Looking at her fucking body shaking makes me have good idea to why the hell I'm here.

He hurt her again.

"Why don't you have a seat?" He gestures to the seat beside Halo. I took the seat beside her, glad that my shirt was covering my gun. Halo didn't need to know that I was just busy killing some fucker that didn't pay up.

"Alright, so..." he flicked threw his papers. "...I'm sure Halo mentioned to you, but she fainted last night." No. She never fucking mentioned.

We only got back from Malta a month ago. I've been so fucking busy and she's been staying between my apartment and back at her house. She said she wasn't ready to tell Jameson the truth. No until I had a plan to get rid of him.

Which is in progress...

All last week she stayed at her house and never answered my calls or texts. That why I bolted here when she called.

I looked at her, answering him. "No, she never mentioned."

"Right. Well..." he closed the file over smiling, "...you're pregnant."

"Pregnant." I blurted out. My eyes going wide.

Shit. Pregnant.

"Yes. Now everything has come back good, but we'll still get you in for some bloods on Friday to check everything is ok, and confirm any suspicions we may have." I faced forward, my mouth gaping as all the dreams I had of us finally being a family together, started becoming true.

"For now, take this." He handed Halo a leaflet. "Your appointments are all detailed in here. I'll see you in 6 weeks for your first scan."

"Six weeks!" I said. "I have to wait six weeks to see my kid?"

Halo stood up. "Thank you." She took my hand and pulled me up. "Let's go." She pushed me out the door before I could say anymore to the doctor.

I don't want to wait six fucking weeks! I wanna see baby Ace now!

"Six weeks." I huffed, folding my arms over my chest. "Can we buy a machine and do it ourselves?" She let out a small laugh, sinking into a chair.

"Ace." She said, rubbing her knees. That wasn't a good Ace.

I sat down beside here, resting my hand over hers on her knee. "Halo, I know you might be nervous and your probably thinking about how you'll tell Jameson. I'm dealing with it. I'm going to get rid of him - my way - and he won't even be around to know or care." I wrapped my arm round her waist pulling her in and kissing her head. "We're gonna have a baby." I said, trying my best to hide my excitement.

"I'm glad you're excited." She said. The smile slowly fell from her lips. "But I don't know if you're the father."
