The St Patrick Series Book #3: Twin Trouble

Chapter 22: Bun In The Oven Part 2

Daniella's POV
I have nothing but tears in my eyes. The second mother walked out I started shoving things into my bag. I am reminded of when she had a fight with Danica about her hacking and she kicked her out. Danica was crying and packing just like I'm doing now. I started off trying to follow in her footsteps.

I am hacker just like her. I worked in the same cafe she did.  I dated the same man she did and now I have kicked out like she was.

"Dani, she didn't mean it. Don't go." Izzy placed her hand on my back. I looked at her and for the first time ever, I see compassion and concern in her eyes. "Where ate you even going?"

"Are you pregnant?" I asked her. "It's just the two of us. Are you pregnant Izzy?"

"Si. I am."

"Is it Bruce's baby?" I almost choked on my words.

"No." A sigh of relief washed over me.

"Whose is it? You know what, I don't want to know." I kept packing.

"What about you? Are you pregnant?"

"Why would you ask me that?"

"You looked scared when mother was asking that question."

Does it matter if she knows or not?

"I am. I'm carrying his baby and he just dumped me."

Her eyes almost popped. "Go tell the bastard you are pregnant! If he won't love you then he better take care of that baby!"

"Izzy, don't you see that you ruined my life? You came in like a wrecking ball and you ruined everything! All this is because of your silly need for revenge. You lied first! I had to uphold your lies! I regret ever doing that! I'm done with this. I'm done with mother and I am done with you."

I zipped my bag. I looked around the small room one more time and then I walked out.

"Daniella, where are you going?" She followed me.

I slammed the door shut on my way out. The battery on my phone is low. Really low. I left my charger at his house. I called Anna. She must be busy preparing for graduation. It went straight to voicemail. I almost left a message but then I realized that I cannot stay with Anna. Her parents hate me.

I called Liam instead. Voicemail.

"Liam, it's Dani. Liam I need help." I couldn't fight my tears from spilling. "...my mother... Liam I'm pregnant. My mother just kicked me out. I have nowhere to go. Can you please help me? Please. I'm going to the bus station. I'll sit there till the last bus. I'll be looking out for your blue beetle. Please help me. I don't know what to do."

I hanged up. I hailed a taxi.

"Where to?"

"Tribeca. I'll tell you which building when we get there." I answered. He drove off and I sat in the back seat feeling numb. I'm looking out at the sunny day. I met Bruce last summer and my heart beat in the same rhythm his did. We fell in love. We made love. Everything was almost a dream come true but my lies have caught up with me. In four days, we would have celebrated our first anniversary together. One year together is what we could have been if he didn't end it today. "Stop here. Can you please wait for me? I'll be a minute."

I hurried into the tall apartment building. The concierge stopped me. "Miss, you are not allowed."

He must have restricted my access. I placed the envelop on his desk. "Please see to it that Bruce St Patrick gets this. Please. It's important."

"I will. Would you like to leave a message?"

"Tell him..."

Tell him he's going to be a father.
