"What's going on Christian?" She was confused and slightly hurt.
"I love you Katerina and I always will, but I don't know if I can sit back and watch you give birth to my brother's baby." I said almost relieved that I got it off my chest.
"Is this your way of ending things before we figure it out?" She was even more confused now.
"No...of course not...I just thought that if I knew why you agreed to it in the first place that would help me understand it better." I tried to explain, but I don't think I did a very good job.
"Besides the fact that it's my brother and his husband...I guess I just want to know if I can carry a baby...after all I didn't have the best relationships and some of them did some damage."
"And if you can... what's your plan after that?"
"Well after I have their baby...I hope to have one of my own some day." She answered with a shy smile. "And I hope the father will be there for me...unlike my own."
"Don't worry...he will be." I said before kissing her deeply. "That is assuming that you were talking about me."
"Who else would I be referring to? Plus if I have Robin's baby we can get to know each other through communicating instead of just having sex."
"Way to ruin a moment baby." I said as I pulled away from her.
"Well I thought the reason we were out here was to smoke some pot before we actually had to work." She said with a small laugh. "And you already ruined the mood when you mentioned the baby thing."
"Yeah... you're right and maybe we shouldn't have sex anymore considering you are about to have my brother's baby."
"Hey, why don't you think of it as practice for when I have our baby."
"Honestly the our baby part is the only thing that I liked about that sentence." I said with a sweet grin.
"Daddy!" We heard my daughter yell from the opening of the alley.
"Stella..." I said as I knelt down and caught her as she ran up to me. "Why are you in day care?"
"Auntie got into a fight again, so she kept me."
"Of course she did." I sighed.
"Hey Bunny...do you want to go inside and get some soda?" Kat asked in a whisper. "We don't have to tell you father."
"But mommy, he's right there." My daughter laughed as she went over and hugged Kat tightly. "Why are you out here?"
"Because we nodded to talk." She answered softly.
She was always so good with my daughter and Stella loved her so much already...it was hard for me not to fall in love with her too.
"Come on Step, I'll take you inside... because I think Mommy needs to think about something." I said as I picked her up. "I'll be right back to finish this conversation."
"Okay, see you later Bunny." She said clearly uncomfortable.
Katerina's Pov... Interruptions, Interruptions...The Alley Behind The Billy Club....
I couldn't believe that Christian was actually telling the truth.
When did she start doing that? How come I never noticed it before?
Or did he tell her to call me that?
"Hey what are you thinking so hard about?" Natalie asked from out of nowhere.
"Nothing, so you had a fight at the day care again." I stated to change the subject.
"Yeah, those bitches were trying to say that I couldn't drop her off, because Chris didn't pay them last month." She answered still obviously annoyed.
