Whiskey princess (Pierce the Veil Mike Fuentes fanfic)

(10) Bonus Chapter; The First Punch

"I can't take it anymore Michael! The constant touring, the studio work, you have a family!" I yelled at Mike. He just told me he was going on another tour for 3 months.

"Calm down, Ash. It's not a big deal." He tried telling me. I was pacing back and forth in our bedroom.

"Yes it is, Mike. You've been in town.. what, 2 weeks? And that entire time you've been in the studio? I know the band's important but, what am I supposed to do? I can't just sit at home forever!" I kept yelling. He stood up and tried to wrap his arms around my waist. I pushed him off.

"Don't do that to me." I snarled. "That doesn't fix it! Jinxx almost never sees you, did you know kids are picking on her at school because she's never had her dad there to talk about his job and her mom doesn't have one? Do you even care?" I shouted.

"What the hell do you want me to do, Ash? Cancel on my brother, your family?!" It was Mike's turn to yell back, and he was screaming. "I'm doing the best that I can! I didn't know, because you didn't tell me!"

"When would I have told you? You're never home! If you call on tour its in the middle of the night!" I started screaming back. "She cries in her room when you don't call to say goodnight to her!"

"I mean to, Ash. I do." he started calming down. I had tears running down my face.

"Don't lie to me. You don't even think about her."

"I'm fucking trying, alright?! Calm down, you're going to wake her up." he tried moving closer to me again.

"Don't act like this is my fault!" I kept yelling.

"I never said that! What has gotten into you? What happened to supporting me? When did you become such a bitch!" he started screaming again.

"Fuck you, Fuentes! I'm pregnant!" I screamed at him at the top of my lungs. My voice cracked as I told him what was making me so mad. His entire mood changed in almost an instant. He stepped closer to me but didn't touch me.

"Ash... are you really...?" he whispered. I sat on the bed and buried my face in my hands.

"I was going to tell you when you first got home, but you ran off to the studio." I told him. He sat next to me and put his hand on my back.

"We can fix this." he said slowly. I was boiling with rage.

"Fix this? Fix what? Me being pregnant? Mike, that isn't the problem! You never being home is!" I screamed and stood up, walking downstairs toward the front door. I snatched my keys off the counter.

"Ashley, don't leave. Baby, let's talk about this." Mike was begging behind me. I put my hand on the doorknob.

"I should've known better than to fall in love with you." I snapped.

"I can't handle her on my own. She won't listen to me, she'll ask where you went. Baby, don't leave me." Mike kept begging.

"You should actually spend time with her. She worships you. She thinks that you'll come back from tour and stay and tell the mean kids at school to stop. I thought you would, too." I said as I opened to door and stepped out into the pouring rain. I got in my car and left.

Before I realized where I was going, I was at Vic's house. I was still crying when I knocked on the door.

"Ash? What're you doing here? Come on, get inside." Vic said quickly, moving and letting me inside. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands, smearing my makeup from the day.

"What's wrong?" Vic asked, motioning for me to sit down and then sitting next to me. "Where's Mike and Jinxx?"

"Vic, I fucked up. Mike said you guys have another tour planned and I said I wanted him home and we started screaming and I told him I was pregnant and I left. I just want him to be home sometimes. He doesn't have to be at the studio all the time, right?" I kept crying, looking at him.

"You're pregnant? That's great but, you're right, Mike doesn't have to be at the studio as often as he is. I'll talk to our manager and see if we can push the tour back a little. Would that help?" he asked. I nodded.

"Thank you. I can't go back there, I'm not sure I can see him right now without yelling at him." I sighed.

"That's fine. You can stay here if you want. I'll get you some blankets." he said and busied himself gathering a pillow and a few blankets for me to sleep on the couch. I barely got any sleep that night.

The next morning, I was surprised to wake up from a deep sleep. My phone was buzzing and Mike's name lit up on it. I pressed ignore and saw that he'd been trying to call me all night. I had 30 missed calls from him.

"Morning." Vic said as he walked out and towards the kitchen. "Want some breakfast?" he offered. I stood up and folded up the blankets he had given me.

"I'm fine, thanks. I think I'm going to go home and try to work this out." I told Vic. He said okay and I left. When I walked in the front door of my house, Mike grabbed me and pinned me against the wall, pressing our lips together.

"Thank God you're home. You're safe." he said between kisses. I separated us and he looked at me, concerned. "Ash, please don't leave me. Please stay." he started begging.

"I'm not going anywhere. But I'm still pissed at you. We need to talk about this." I told him. He nodded and sat down on the couch. I sat on the other side and looked at him.

"Vic called and said he pushed the tour back and I don't need to be in the studio as much. I'll start coming home every night at 5 from recording, okay? Will that fix this?" he asked, motioning to both of us. I can't believe he actually took the time to fix this. He usually left it for me to do.

"Yeah, that fixes it. I can't go through this pregnancy alone, though. Someone has to be able to take care of Jinxx when I go to appointments." I said.

"I can take breaks from tour if I have to. I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I responded and moved closer to him. He kissed me and I kissed back this time. I shifted so I was sitting in his lap and he held onto my hips. My hands tangled in his hair. I smiled as I felt his lip ring against my bottom lip. We separated a minute later and I laid in his lap. Jinxx woke up and I heard her come down the stairs. She stood in front of me with her favorite stuffed animal in her hand, not looking up at me.

"Are you gonna leave me and daddy?" she asked with a sniffle. When I didn't respond she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.

"No baby, I'm not going anywhere." I told her as I leaned forward and wiped the tears off her face. She hugged me. Mike made us all breakfast and we sat watching movies for the rest of the day.
