Not a secret anymore •Marco Reus / Lionel Messi•

Chapter 53

"Now, that you're pregnant, has the perfect man of yours kicked you away?" Marco snapped and I looked at him. Nobody will insult the father of my child. My action couldn't be controlled. I slapped him across his face immediately. "Don't you ever say that again!" I exclaimed in whisper. He looked at me and put his hand on the cheek where I slapped him. "I'm pregnant. I'm happy. Happy with Leo." I said and he nibbled on his lip. "He's not like you. He wouldn't leave after saying those 3 words." I muttered. "I'm sorry." he mumbled and I raised my eyebrows. "Sorry? Excuse me, there's a lot damage you've done. So what exactly are you sorry for?" I asked taking a little step back. "Everything. I don't want you to leave." he said with tears in his eyes. "I kind of have to now that I'm pregnant." I mumbled and put a hand on my stomach. "I..the...a...the baby can be mine." he rambled and I scoffed. "You aren't even ready to say if you love me or not. You can't handle a baby." I said and he was about to say something, but I was faster. "Besides, I...I love Leo and he's looking forward to the baby. I won't leave him." I mumbled and walked away leaving him in the street with teary eyes and broken heart.

I sat down on the sofa without sparing a look towards mom or dad and took a deep breath. "Annie?" mom asked and I closed my eyes. "Why did I meet him?" I groaned and covered my eyes with my hands. "Him? Who?" dad asked and I looked at him with fear in my eyes. Fear that makes me insecure. When I saw his eyes, all my feelings came back. When I saw his figure standing in front of me, I immediately thought of the time we spent together. "Marco." I mumbled and mom sighed. "I told you it was a stupid thing to do!" mom exclaimed looking at dad and I furrowed my eyebrows. "Stupid thing to do?" I asked and dad looked at me. "Your dad should have kept you here." mom said and dad scoffed. "Nina, she's a mother to be. She knows what to do and what not to." dad said and I looked at my mom. "Stupid thing to do? What was stupid?" I asked again. "Letting you go out!" mom squealed and I stood up. "Nobody can stop me from doing what I want." I said and mom nodded. "I know, An. But...you're not in Barcelona anymore. This is Dortmund. A city where Marco lives. All I want is to protect you." mom said and I rolled my eyes. "As dad said, I'm mother to be. I'm grown up. I'm 23. I know what to do." I had muttered before walking away.

I was sitting on my bed waiting for Leo to answer the call. "Hi Annie." he answered and I wiped my tears away. "Hi." I mumbled and hugged the pillow tighter. "Hey, what's that voice like? Are you sad?" Leo asked and I chuckled. We haven't known each other for long, but I guess that you can figure the feelings of your beloved ones quickly when you love them. "No, I'm not." I answered. "Then why do you sound like that?" he asked. Because of Marco. Why do I have to meet him every time I seem to be far away from him? "I don't know. Probably bad signal. It's a long way to Chile." I said causing him to giggle. "I miss you." he said and I smiled. It's good to know that. "I miss you too. But...we...we were watching the press conference you had." I mumbled shyly. "We? As your parents and you?" he asked and I giggled. Somehow, since the moment Marco insulted Leo, I've felt like a mommy. "We as...me and our baby." I said looking down on the duvet under my body. "Baby. How is our baby?" he asked and I giggled. "Quite good I guess." I said and touched my belly. I still can't believe this. A baby who was created by drunk sex. Still, I love the baby. It's a part of my body. I have to love it. "Good you guess?" Leo asked and I giggled lightly. "Yeah, it's not letting me know anything. It's way too soon." I said and heard the chuckle falling from his mouth. "I was thinking..." I started. "You said that I can come whenever I want to?" I asked. "Yes, sure. It'll be no problem." he said and I looked out of the window to see the street of Dortmund. I don't wanna meet him again. Not when every single memory comes into my mind from the sight of him. Not when I'm insecure. Not when I don't believe I could stay away from him. Not when I'm pregnant. "I wanna come to Rosario. And then, I can attend a few games of yours." I said confidently. "A-annie, I...tell me when and I'll get the plane ticket for you." Leo said making me giggle. Leo and Marco are so different. Leo is that kind of guy who makes you smile. Who makes butterflies appear in your stomach. Who makes you feel loved. While Marco is the guy with whom you're always getting through adventure. He's the guy who's still like a little kid. He's the one who you'd like to throw your arms around.
