Failing

My entire life was put on baby making .. While practicing was fun I got exhausted. Charlotte on the other hand. She had her part time job , just in case we succeed and she can quit.  I waited for Stephan to tell me the details of our plan. I wish I didn't because it kept me nervous. We missed our chance.. The guy, who we meant to steal from, got in the city for one single day and left with the same speed.

Roll Hamill, an arrogant rich guy. Daddy's boy and a womanizer. He was 28 , didn't have to work a single day in his life..He was surrounded by women wherever he went . I didn't want to judge him without knowing him at all so I dug into the internet to find things about him . And of course I also asked around. Stephan told me before that the man had Karma running after him but couldn't kick his ass so far. Maybe we can help with that. Alas, not this time.
Besides, with the amount of energy I had I couldn't even run away if I had to.  Charlotte had to spend some time with her parents because her mother fell sick. In the meantime I had the house for myself . I mean..not like I had anything planned, other than the room for our future child. Wilson was in my way all the time but I still loved his chubby fur face.

- Don't worry boy. Even with the baby, I'll have time for you.

He was an old boy now, lazy and slow, not really active but became a puppy anytime we went for a walk. It's been months since we started trying and still no result. Dr Rivera said it's normal, it sometimes takes a while. Some people even try for years.
Had me thinking.. maybe visiting a doctor would be good. Even if it's normal, better be safe than sorry. Adopting a child is nice too. I wanted to discuss it with Charlotte although I was worried that she'll hate this idea.

- I know it's been only a few months..maybe we aren't lucky or it needs more time.
> Are you sure? I don't mind but it scares me to think maybe we can't have a baby.
- We still can. Adoption is a good option as well . But let's not rush. What do you say?
> Fine by me. Let me get an appointment for us.
- I can do that , don't worry. I'm glad you agreed to do it.
> Of course babe, you're cute. Don't worry, okay? I'm back soon and we can keep trying.
- Alright. Take care in the meantime.

Stephan's POV

Barely a few things have changed since I got back. Sad but we missed the opportunity to rob that pompous jerk. I'll keep an eye on him, Roll will be around , I know that.
I missed having fun, hanging out with my friends. My sisters were busy, my other friends moved or were in relationships. Marshall was way too tired to meet anytime .
Like is anyone not be interested in seeing THIS guy? I'm cute, I'm fun..and single forever.
I meant to see someone, after many years. Someone special, to know how they have been. You know my luck, that person wasn't in the city now. Fine..
But at least I could meet my sister. Sure as hell I missed them. Carmen was a grown woman now but always my baby sister , no matter what.  After her miscarriage, she put the pregnancy idea aside, she was now working as an assistant in the kindergarten. It helped her to overcome her loss. And she was shining , my soon to be brother in love took care of her well.

- Aww my favorite brother . I knew you'd be back soon.
- Aren't I your only brother?
- Marshall is the other.
- Ouch..
- But you're my favorite so hush now. How is life for you?
- I can't complain . I had my fun, met people, made new friends, and saw beautiful places. But there is no place like home .
- I bet it was a great experience. So. You're still have no girl, right?
- Come on...that's not why I'm here. I'm not late. Love will find me again.
- Steph.. I know why you left. Willow told me. She didn't want to but I was nagging her.
- Wow... Cool. So she's still mad at me.
- She's not , she was missing you. But I agree with her. It wasn't worth it. You see how it ended. It was risky.
- Hell it was but I've never loved someone more ..
- I'm sure.

You'll hear about my story too but it's not mine, the title isn't "Stephan and his failed love life"

- And what about you? You guys still meet up?
- You mean Marshall and I ?
- Too. And Charlotte. She was your idol forever.
- Because I was a silly girl. I don't want to see her again and I don't want to hear about her again.
- Why?? What happened?
- She doesn't deserve him.

Knowing little to nothing about women , I assumed she was jealous or..

- Oh.... shit..
- What??
- You two ain't...you know ...you two don't have an affair, right??
- Hell no! I'm not that kind of girl and he's a decent man who deserves so much better. But let's drop this.
- What did you mean by that?
- Steph..  let's drop it .
- Fine, but I really don't like where it's coming from.

Charlotte's POV

I spent some days with Clayton. He invited me to his weekend home. Finally we could be together in peace. Even though he kept asking me when I plan to tell my boyfriend about us or if I even want to leave him.

- Sorry but these aren't on the list. You knew what you signed up for when you began to flirt with me.
- But I grew tired of it. You cheat on him, it means you have no respect for him at all.
- Hey! That's not it! I've always liked some fun.
- I don't like to be fun. As much as I like doing you , maybe it's time for you to pick.
- Clayton, I have a 7 years old relationship, you think I'm going to ruin it? I like you and what we have is nice and all but I'm his girlfriend and soon we'll have a child .
- Oh , wow. I'm banging a pregnant girl??
- No..  not yet. He couldn't knock me so far.
- See? It didn't mean to be. Make your mind up Charlotte. He'll be fine.

No one is going to be fine without me. I couldn't let Marshall go, we WERE meant to be, I simply had no self control.
Every single day I spent with Clayton, we kept doing all the nasty things that my own boyfriend never dared. It was like a wet dream coming true. We were soon back in town. I had to make the best out of it till I could. Who knows when I will get pregnant . I kept seeing Clayton, letting him have me since Marshall was too exhausted. But when he had a day off..he was like a beast. And normally I loved it but after having my time with Clayton , I couldn't do a lot .

- Another round? To make sure you did it.
- Babe..I don't know..I'm so tired.
- Then let me just please you.
- Fine by me. Your rounds were killing me already.
- I'm sorry. I'm just excited.

Only if I didn't have sex with my affair a few hours ago, maybe then I wasn't this used rag now.
Despite all the trying, we kept failing. Soon it was time to visit the doctor. Waiting for the results felt like sitting on a bunch of nails. What did we get? Keep reading to find out!
