The Talk P.2

*SURPRISE UPLOAD! This chapter was supposed to be uploaded Sunday, but I had to re-write it due to the fact that it sucked ass. lol So I wrote this one. Yes, there will still be an update Friday. I update every Friday. No exceptions! Well, if i'm sick I'll try my best to update, but I probably wont...Anyway. You're going to like this chapter DeborahFarias, and i'm not trying to give my readers whiplash or anything because they're making and breaking up. haha! We'll keep it like this...maybe. DEDICATIONS! I got some new fans! I'm dedicating this chapter to Greeneyes93, SaTia18, Bellalunaitaliano, Thelover123 And some Readers! KasyBurke, D_ElenaTVD, juju95,and xXRandom! Happy Reading ;)

"Is she healthy?" I ask Lawrence, as He rubs the cool jelly on my stomach. Lawrence finishes applying it before he moves the wand around my tummy. I hear her heart beat immediately. She sounds weird...Her heartbeat is off. I get up quickly, hoping i'm hearing things.

"Lawrence? Is she alright?" I question, feeling the tears build up over my tear duct. Please let her be okay. What am I going to do? How will I tell Niko? My hands cover my chest as I try so hard not to break down. My daughter is everything to me. She cant leave me!

"Melinda you're assuming. Nothing's wrong with her. She's extremely healthy....There's another pair of feet in there. I think there's another baby in here." Excuse me WHAT?! There's no way there's another baby in here. Please tell me he's joking. Isn't being pregnant with one baby enough?

"You should be a comedian. Your jokes are hilarious." I sob, wiping the tears from my eyes.

"Melinda, I'm serious. I also see a penis." Lawrence murmurs, moving the wand. I look at the screen with slightly swollen eyes, its there. I see it. My daughter has a brother. I wonder how my dad is going to take this. He's going to announce this to the pack! I don't need Codie sending out bounties for me or my kids...kids. I have more than one!

"He's a lot smaller than his sister though. He's going to need some testosterone shots." Lawrence says, swiveling over to the phone to page his nephew Trin. I keep my eyes on my babies. They deserve better than this. I know they do and so does Niko.

Just calm down Melinda. Things aren't going good with Niko (Seems like the story of my life). I can get dad to get me an apartment in Sedona. I can find a new pack there. Find a nice man there (hopefully). Even have Niko visit when he wants to see them, because Niko doesn't want to change. Something tells me he never will and that hurts the most. Niko cares for Codie, whether he knows its or not. He would've slept with her if he didn't. That's why he called her back. That's why he slept with her a second time. I didn't feel the warm tears leak from my eyes until Lawrence pulled me from my thoughts. I seem to be crying a lot lately. He seemed more freaked than I did.

"Melinda, did I upset you in anyway?" Lawrence whispers. He swivels to my side, to comfort me and I let him. I wish Niko was here, but then I don't! I'm not in the mood to argue, make up for an hour and then get into another fight. My little heart cant take this. My father was right. I'm too young to have kids. I'm 19 and I already have two! The father doesn't want anything to do with me, it just makes me feel like another statistic in some kids high school research paper.

"No...I just wish I could've seen this coming in the future...Well not just this...Everything. Lawrence they don't deserve this. What kind of mother would I be?! You tried to help and i'm grateful for that, but Niko and I...We'll never work this out. Not even for the babies. What should I do? Where should I go?" I sob, reaching for the Kleenex.

"I honestly don't know what to tell you Melinda, but if you're miserable I suggest you take your kids and go. You shouldn't have to go through this. Niko is a grown man. He knows the difference between right and wrong. You've given chance after chance, if he doesn't want to change-leave and don't look back. He can visit whenever." Lawrence advises. I nod my head. He's right, but I think I'll pay Niko a visit.
