Amoureux du Vampire

Bébé en Route pt.2

After Papillon told Larry she was carrying a baby for Laurent, he shut down. Dr. Smith talked to them both and tried to explain, but Larry wasn't ready for that conversation. She suggested the three come back so she could help them understand the intricacies of a twin bond pregnancy, but once again Larry put up a wall. After Papillon tearfully begged, he agreed to meet the following day.

Laurent was happy to hear his brother knew the truth. But his girlfriend, not so much.

Laurent POV

"You're telling me she is pregnant! And it's yours ... so is that why we came back from Italy early?"

No, I told you I have issue at work ... stop packing. Please, you know what I am ... we are. It could not be avoided.

"She would not be pregnant if you didn't have sex with her."

It not that simple, I need explain.

"Explain what? Laurent if you're soulmates I'm out, and if you're not ... then you cheated and I'm still out. I can deal with your whole Lord Laurent thing, but a baby, with your sister-in-law! Thank you, but no."

Do what you have to do Nicole.

She stand and stare at me, then start to cry.

What you want me to say? This is reality, I not change it.

"Wow, way to fight for us. I'm going home."

I walk out of the bedroom.

She need space. I need space. I go down and sit in my playroom.

After all this time I still feel my chenille ... I smell her. I so glad when she tell me Larry know, I even more when I find out she have twins.

We not deny it anymore. We soulmates.

I hear Nicole moving around upstairs ... Hmph, I thought she was leaving.

I close my eyes and feel Papillon, she stress hard ...

'Papi, how you? I feel you upset, you all alone?'

'No, Aria is here.'

'My brother?'

'Still not talking'

'I coming over.'

'OK, maybe he'll open up to you.'

'See you soon.'

This a good time for us to talk.

Papillon POV

"Earth to Papi ... oh let me guess, Lau in your head?"

Um yeah.

"Wish I was psychic. Larry?"

Nothing yet, he's still quiet.

"I can't believe how you sprung it on him."

Ari I had to just tell him. I'm sure he had some idea anyway, me having twins and all. The doctor said it, Laurent said it ... he had to know.

"Yes, that you were pregnant, but not everything else."

I wish he would say something.

"His feelings are hurt, not because you were with Laurent, but because you felt like you couldn't tell him."

You knew. Why didn't you say anything? You know everything and say nothing! Since I've met them, you've always had so many ideas and speculations. You know them both ... intimately. You love to meddle in my life, but never do it when it counts.
