''I really wish we took Harold with us...'' Samantha said with a pout as she leaned on James's shoulder while watching TV. ''I like that kid. He's cute. He's adorable.''
James pressed his lips hard and shut his eyes, cursing the kid for almost ruining his surprise.
No. He can't take risks. He's never going to take that kid with them even just for a night.
''Love, we can't do that. You heard it. The doctor told us it's best that both kids stay in the hospital.'' James explained. He held Samantha's hand and rubbed it with the pad of his thumb. ''We barely know them love.What if they're part of the gang?''
''Goodness... How can you even doubt a child, James?''
''Baby... Look, his father's one of those robbers. He's a son of a criminal, how can you trust a kid like that? Aisht..." James said before cuddling close to her. "Let's forget about that brat. Let's think about us and the cold night and how we can make it...hot.'' James said with a chuckle.
Samantha snapped her head at him and rolled her eyes in disbelief seeing her boyfriend wiggling his brows like a retard.
''Yeah, I almost forgot there's another kid here.'' she said as she pushed herself up but James was quick to pull her back.
''Hey, love are you mad?'' James asked her.
''I'm not.''
''You are.''
''I said I'm not.''
''Then look at me.''
''No...
''Look at me... Come on..''
''No! Aisht!'' Samantha struggled to break free from his arms but James even held her tighter.
''Love, I hope you understand we can't take Harold with us just like that----''
''Why do you hate kids so much?''
''W-w-hat?''
''At first, you always ignore your own sister Hailey...''
''Yah, that's not true! I give her all she needs.'' James straightened up and let her go.
''You used to tell me to take pills, why you don't want me to get---''
''That's because I thought you're not ready for it! AISHT!''
''...And a while ago you treated Harold that way.''
James could just hang his mouth open at how Samantha is behaving. He tried to speak up but he couldn't form a single word.
''See? You hate kids don't you?''
''Yah! That's not true! I even helped that brat! You think I would do that if I hate them? Love, why are you being like this? Why are you even bringing up old issues?'' James scratched his head angrily.
''A-a-re you shouting at me?'' Samantha asked as she backed away from him.
''H-huh???''
''You yelled at me.''
''I did not???!!!.''
''You just did!''
''I SAID I DID NOT!!!''
James clamped his mouth seeing Samantha's horrified face.
''L-love...''
''Aisht! I can't believe this!'' Samantha stood up from the couch and ran her way to their bedroom, locking herself up securely.
