Daddy, Please Don't Hurt Me | Scömíche AU

Chapter Twenty-Four

~Scott~

Mitch and I ended up finishing lunch and watching the movie. But I felt bad because Mitch still felt sick the whole time, but I knew he would feel bad to have us cancel so I let it go. Which I didn't want to do. I want to have a talk with him tonight about our future. I mean, he's pregnant after all.

"Mitch. Can we talk quick?" I asked as he stepped into the apartment.

He turned around and looked at me as I shut the door, "What did I do?" I walked forward and wrapped him in my arms.

"Nothing Mitchy. I just want to talk about the future. Our future, Mitch."

"Oh." He whispered into my chest.

"Let's go sit on the couch and talk about it." He nodded against my chest and I pulled away, grabbing his hand and leading him to the couch. I watched Mitch. He was looking down at the couch as his legs were crossed and he faced me, "What if Gerard comes back, Mitch? What if he somehow gets out of jail and finds us, finds out you're pregnant and that he's the fa-"

"You're this baby's dad, Scott."

"I mean biological father, Mitch. Work with me, please."

"Okay. Sorry."

"It's okay, Mitchy." I grabbed his hands and held onto them, "Just, it worries me that Gerard will find out he is the baby's bio dad and he'll get angry you didn't tell him when you saw him."

Mitch looked up at me, "Are you upset that I didn't tell him?"

"No. I don't want him to find out at all, Mitch. I want us to just raise this baby as ours and never see him again. But I get the unsettling feeling that's not going to be the case."

"I share that, Scotty. Honestly, I'm worried. And scared. Not only for us, but for the baby too."

"Why for the baby?"

"What if Gerard comes back and hurts the baby? That," I looked at Mitch as he sighed, "That would be devastating." I wiped the tear off his cheek with my thumb.

"It'll be okay, Mitchy. I promise."
