The Bitch Wars 2

Chapter 6 - Congratulations Bitch

My eyes sting as they adjust to the bright white lighting of the room, am I dead? am I in heaven? I rub my eyes and try to steady myself and get up. My body aches. There are bandages all around me and my left arm has a cast on it. The door at the side of the room flings open, a dark brown-blue haired boy comes in, his eyes blood shut. "Mike! Mike!" I yell, attempting to fling my arms open. "Aria! you're okay! I was so scared my big sis was gone." he says as he buried his head into me. "wheres mom and dad?" I say with a strained voice. "Moms outside and dads filling in some paper work at the admissions, I think." he says as he hands me the cup of water, sitting by my bed. "i'll get her." Mike says as he got up and left the room. I'm not dead. How is this even possible? "Aria!" my mother bursts into tears. "How did you do it? why weren't you more careful!" My mother cried again. I take a sip of water, clenching the flimsy plastic cup tightly, "I'm sorry mom."

"I mean look at you ! three broken ribs Aria! THREE!"She emphasises the three.

Before I could respond yet another visitor appears, Ezra. "Aria! are you alright? is the baby okay too!?" Ezra says as he ran to me. It felt as my heart has just dropped into my stomach. "wait wait wait....what baby?" my mother drops my hands and stares at me. "And..why do you care?" she says as she viciously points at Ezra. Nice going Ezra. This is going to take a lot of explaining.

"Hey sis I'm back with your sister!" Mike says as he pulls hanna into the room winking. He stares around the room, suddenly feeling the tension "wait, is this a bad time?" I nod.

"it appears, your english teacher here has gotten my little girl pregnant!" my mother hissed. "Mr.FItz!" Hanna and mike shout. Obviously in shock. "wait, what did you do to my sister?" Mik says as he maniacally pulls his shirt sleeves up, revealing his muscular forearm and clenched fists. Mike begins to get closer and closer to Ezra. "look, look I can explain." Ezra blurted out. "I dont think so." Mike spat angrily. He raised his hand and and punches Ezra in the jaw.

"Mike!" we all yelled in unison.

Mike angrily stormed out of the room, Hanna follows.

Ezra clenched his broken jaw, "your brother can sure punch hard, shit!" My mother doesnt take her eyes of him. "I'm more than happy to give you one to." says the tall man leaning on the door frame. "dad!" I didn't even see him get in here. "Now how in the goddamn first place did my little girl get impregnated by her english teacher! you have some explaining to do!" My father's voice is loud, probably loud enough to be heard from the other hospital wing.

As if things could not get any worse, there was another entrance. "Excuse me, I need to speak to the patient." said the middle aged dark haired doctor. "can't you see we are having an important conversation!" my father shouted, I could see the veins straining in his neck. "its about the baby." The nurse squeaked. My father crossed his arms, "alright make it quick!" The woman scurried towards me. "dad, mom I think you should go get some coffee or something I need to be alone for a moment."

"alright sweetie, but remember if that child survives you need to put it up for adoption, and your mother and I are going to tell someone about this. Your english teacher cannot get away with this." 

As soon as my parents left, I burst into tears. "if it means that I have to go to prison for the next thirty years of my life, it will keep you safe, so please. Do what you need to do. 

The doctor put a stethoscope to my belly, she listed intensively for about a minute. She then took it off and smiled at me. "congratulations, besides all of the odds against this child it's still there, happy and healthy." I know I should be happy, but I'm not. I know the pain this child will cause my family, my future, Ezra and most of all me. 

My parents came in, holding cardboards cups of coffee. "Sweety, is the baby okay?" before I could respond Ezra left the room, giving me and my parents some space. 

"mom, dad....I was going to have a daughter."
