Trigger Warning: Pregnancy mentions 

Scarlet's Pov

Oh my fucking God, what did she just say? And it didn't pass a second after she told us she didn't want Liam to know, and he already heard it. Fucking hell, today was not going to be over.

I looked at Alice and Liam, but to be honest I have no idea what Liam was feeling. I looked at Xaden and he was shocked as hell; I wanted to laugh at the irony. I just found out my parents and Alice and Liam were expecting a child.

"Liam - Liam I didn't want you to find out like this. I wanted to tell you, but I was scared." Alice said, looking at Liam. But Liam was just frozen in his place, I looked at Xaden and he moved towards Liam.

Liam grabbed Xaden's collar and said "I'm... I'm being a father."

"Yes, and how do you feel about that?" Xaden asked, while taking his hands off of himself. Xaden would freak out more than Liam, I don't even understand why he's the one asking Liam.

"Are you kidding me? I will be the father that I never had for my own child." Liam said that and started running towards Alice. He carried Alice and started spinning, oh my god she was going to faint.

"Liam, I will throw up." Alice said, and in that moment, Liam placed her back on her feet and started kissing her. Alice pushed Liam away and ran to the washroom, I'm guessing to throw up.

I was going to go after Alice, but Liam stopped me and said, "I will take care of her. Stay with Xaden."

I nodded my head; I understand they wanted to be alone together. Now the only problem that I was thinking of was how history was repeating itself. My mother was pregnant with me when Enzo was at war with the Russian mafia; and now Alice was pregnant when we might be at war with the Russian mafia too.

I won't let anything happen to Alice for sure; but now we needed to be extra careful with everything that was going on. I have no idea what we will do but this was bad. Of course, I was happy for them, but I was scared that the same thing was going to happen with Alice.

I looked at Xaden, he was sitting on the sofa, his hands in his hair and his eyes were closed. I know he was not sleeping because he's breathing was not calm. I got closer to him and sat down beside him.

"Xaden, you know Alice being pregnant is dangerous now. We need to protect her from everything, any bad news, any problem, any attack." I whispered, I didn't want them to hear what we were talking about.

I don't think Liam was very thoughtful because he just learned he was being a father; he did not think about the problem that we might have with the Russians because of my fucking father.

"I know, and Liam will lose his shit every time we get into a problem. Let's hope we don't have to be at war with the Russian mafia." Xaden said, and I couldn't agree with him more.

"I know you already thought about it but, wouldn't it be better if they keep the pregnancy secret? Well, at least until we figure out everything. I trust my mom, but I still don't want anyone from that side to know that she's pregnant." I said, because it was true. There was no way I was letting Alice announce to my parents that she was pregnant when I did not even trust them.
