Denial.

Is the first stage isn't it?

I've been in denial.

Sitting behind the desk, staring straight at the door. Doc better walk in any minute now or else I'll go on a fucking hunt.

She kinda looks like me.
Brown hair like her mother.
Curly like mine.
Defined nose like her mother.
Strong eyes like mine, they're blue tho. Mine grey.
She definitely didn't get those from her mother.

It can't be. I May have been fucking hammered to sleep with Elena that night but to forget to use protection, I don't think so.

There has to be something else....

" what a day huh.." Apollo commented as he enters my office. Taking a sit across from me.

I analyze him. He has blue eyes yes, but he's as white as a goose with blond hair and a big ass nose.
The possibility of the child being his are slim.

"Is not mine..." he says matter of fact.
"Can't put it past it. - I said standing up and head to the mini bar - you fuck her weeks before that night" I stated while making my drink.
Drinking you problems away won't solve them.

I know amore.

"True, but wouldn't the child look like me then?" I return to my seat " besides she seems confident the test will come out positive "

"I don't care what she thinks"
"You should she's the mother of your child..."
He teased, tone filled with amusement.

"Do you realize the pain it would cause il mio angelo if the child turns out to be mine" I ponder "she'd be disappointed " he says
"We've talk about children..." I confessed "she was so happy, she looks out the future with so much hope..." I drowned the liquor.
Running a hand through my face , I stand up and walk towards the window, gazing at the garden.

There she stood, the little girl by her side, she's showing her the Magnolias, of course.

I feel Apollo come up to my side.
"What are you going to do?"
I turn my head to face him "I don't know" I admitted.

Fuck. I didn't know.

~~

I walk into Severinos office.
He stood by the window, Doc sitting on the couch.
"Capo " Doc greets me, standing up to hand me the envelope " the results" he states.

I take the envelope, it felt heavy.
After this I won't be the same, if the child is mine, fuck, I've been thinking of all the things that can go wrong.

Mio amore, it'll break her heart.

I ripped off the seal and start reading.

I frowned.....motherfucker.
