His Baby

~ Chapter 28 ~

~ CHAPTER 28~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you for dragging me out of the house," I say to Grayson slightly looking up at him, we are at the mall.

This is the first time that I have been to the mall since I saw Ellie here with some random guy and Jax told me to mind my own business. It seems like it has been forever since I was last here, gosh so much has happened that my mind spins.

"No worries baby sis," he says and winks at me

"I haven't been out anywhere since the baby was in the hospital" I reply

"I know Tori, you were starting to get cranky," he says and my mouth drops open

"That's so rude," I say

"No, it's true" and I agree.

I have not left the house for the past week unless I needed to, I have been way too scared to get Violet sick and so has Scarlett so we have been home and work bound. Violet has 100% completely healed from her little infection and her doctor said she was perfectly healthy.

But I haven't wanted to take any chances to compromise her immune system further. So the only places I have gone are my house, the Shepherd house, where I have not seen Jax nor Ellie and to Shepherds Law and Co.

So when Grayson asked me to go to the mall to him watch a movie I was sceptical, but I could tell Scarlett wanted her boyfriend, Noah over without me third wheeling and wasn't going to ask me to leave so I packed up Violet and I. We are not about to walk into the movie theatre.

"Okay fine I am sorry," I say and he chuckles. I am not someone who likes to spend much time at home so I have been going crazy for the past few weeks and that makes me grumpy. So I have pretty much been intolerable. Scarlett also says it is my anger towards Ellie and Jax. I don't know if I agree.

But Grayson wanted to see this new movie out, and so did I. So we are here. Violet was fed and her nappy was changed before we came so she should be good- she has never been to a movie before left alone done anything like this so I don't know how she is going to act.

We walk into the theatre, buy some tickets and then head to the candy bar where we grab some popcorn to indulge in. I then make Grayson pee and then go to the toilet myself before we settle into the movie theatre. The movie was good and I did not fall asleep in it which is good- since having a Violet any time I can I nap.

We walk out of the movie theatre and Grayson is rambling about how good the movie was

"Are you glad we came out?" he says to me

"Yes, thank you" I reply and look ahead of me where Violet is fast asleep in her pram

"I'm surprised that she has slept the whole way" Grayson says

"Well she's a good baby," I say

"Hmm or she loves her Uncle Gray and knows that he really wanted to see this movie in peace"

"Mhm sure," I say

"Dinner!?" he asks me and I feel my stomach rumble, and I don't remember if I have eaten anything other than the popcorn in the movie. You really do not find a lot of time to eat when you are a mum.

"God, can't get enough of me can you" I reply to him and he laughs

"Nah, I want to see my precious niece," he says

"Well, you can steal her anytime you want" I reply

"Don't offer it to me- babies are chick magnets"

"Gray you cannot exploit my child for sex," I say

"I never said for sex" he replies and I laugh as we turn around the corner to hear shouting, I look at Grayson and he stands in front of me to protect me

We walk around the corner and I push the pram faster to get away but we happen to walk directly in front of them, and I look up to see what the commotion is. I don't seem to make out what they are arguing about

"What are you looking at?" I hear the person say and as we move closer it is Ellie. Yes the Ellie, with the same guy that I caught her with

"Uh nothing" I begin to say

"Oh it's you" she replies to me and frowns and then sees Grayson

"Oh hello Grayson, this is Mike- my brother," she says and her tone instantly changes

"Uh Hi Ellie, Mike," he says and they make small talk whilst I stand in silence, I start to drown out what they are saying until I feel Grayson pulling my arm so we start walking

"You cannot say anything Tori," he says to me as we walk into the restaurant

"Why, he deserves to know what we saw" I reply

"She said it's her brother"

"I don't think so Jax, that was the same guy as last time"

"Tori, stop causing issues and leave it" he snaps and I shut my mouth

We order our food and we talk about school and any other than Jax. The car ride back is silent and I can tell Grayson is upset with me, but I don't say anything.

When we get back home he parks the car and he helps me get Violet out of the car. I quietly thank him and he smiles and kisses my cheek. I walk up to the room and Noah has left so Scarlett is painting her toenails. I walk into the room and drop all of the things down and sigh

"Hey, how was the movie?" she asks

"Yeah, it was good"

"Vi?"

"Amazing"

"Then what's wrong," she says and I look at her and tell her what we saw and Scarlett's face is so red after I finish telling her

"Holy fuck" Scarlett says

"I know" I reply

"What a skank," she says

"Hey" I reply and cover Violets ears, "she said it was her brother, but it didn't look like it," I say

"Sorry baby," she says "What the nugget?" she adds "There is no way they are related, when we saw them they were way too close"

"I don't know what to say to Jax"

"You cannot tell Shep," she says

"That's what Gray said"

"Yeah and he was right, your relationship with him is already strained, and besides the last time that you told him Ellie was cheating he yelled at you"

"Yeah, but I think he needs to know- as I would"

"Listen, T, I support you no matter what, but I don't think it is a good idea"

"Yeah I hear you," I say and I look over to Violet, I wish I never had this drama

"If you think you should tell him, then do it," she says "But we might see him tomorrow at lunch so you need to decide"

"I'm going to, its what I would want to know"

"Okay then" she replies and I swallow the lump in my throat

I will tell Jax what I see him tomorrow. I don't care how he reacts, he needs to know.
