Chapter 33
Paige's POV:
I tossed my hair up into a messy bun and shoved on track pants and a comfy sweater, I jogged down the stairs feeling a presence come from the kitchen.
"And where are you going?" She asked angrily.
"I have an ultrasound appointment." I said rolling my eyes as I took my keys from the rack. I turned back seeing a white dust under my mothers nose. Her shoulders and collar bones were sunken in and her blond hair was dead and flat. Yes, my mother was a junkie who got her fix from the human world. She would travel there and come back with more drugs to shoot up with her dirtbag friends. We were not royal but my excellent grades got me into the school I go to plus Ryan being my mate.
"Oh yea, to see that man whore of a boyfriend? Once you have this kid he won't want anything to do with you. Just to see the kid and then slowly he will drift away." He said.
"No mom, that is what James did to you. You were his side thing. I am Ryan's main girl." I said angrily. She glared as she walked over and struck me across the face. My cheek instantly grew hot as I touched the tender skin with my hand.
"Don't you ever talk to me like that! I raised you, fed you, put clothes on your back-"
"Until I was ten, I wore the same clothes everyday until I could get a job, the only reason I go to a good school is because of my grades, I have nice clothes from me working hard and I have someone who loves me. News flash mom your dope you snort or whatever doesn't love you back!" I yelled. She slapped me across the face again with the same hand.
"Bullshit he doesn't love you. You are an ignorant little slut who is knocked up at age eighteen. Good job, Paige you are following mommy's path." She said and I glared.
"You did someone who was not your mate, I did someone who is my mate." I said revealing the mark on my neck.
"Ryan has the same one as me and it was given to him by me." I said she looked into my eyes as I smiled at her smugly. She hit me again and I rolled my eyes. As much as we hated each other I never laid a hand on her. Ever.
"Fuck you." I said lowly holding my burning cheek. I slammed the door going to my car and raced to Ryan's place. He came out wearing jeans and a form fitting shirt. He got in and stared at me.
"What happened to your face?" He asked lightly touching the sensitive skin. Angry tears formed in my eyes as I gripped the steering wheel.
"My mom hit me." I said pulling out of the driveway and racing down the street.
"Why?" He asked concerned. I stopped at a red light and sighed.
"Who knows? She was snorting or smoking something and she was pissed because I put her in her place about her life. She is a coked up skank and she has the nerve to call me a slut and ungrateful when all she does is hit me and call me a waste of space. The last time she bought me anything was my tenth birthday and it was a box of tampons. 'You will get that soon. Plug it up and don't flash it to the boys because it will get you knocked up' were her exact words." I said rolling my eyes.
"Shit." He said not sure what to say. I laughed as we drove in to one of the local towns.
"Oh yea, I told her she was my fathers side bitch and she was nothing to him."
"Why would you say that?" He sighed. I met his eyes briefly and smiled.
"Because she said you don't love me and once I have this baby you will leave me." I said. He placed his hand on my thigh and squeezed it gently.
"That won't happen because I love you too much. My crazy little purple haired hottie." He teased making me smile.
"You're such an idiot." I smiled resting my hand on top of his. We got to the clinic and waited inside. It was only filled with one other woman and we waited patiently.
Soon I was laying on the table with cold jelly on my bulging abdomen. She moved around the ultrasound stick and smiled.
"There, he or she is." She chuckled showing the tiny infant. I was only about four months along so she would not be able to determine the gender. It was just a check up.
"This baby is one hundred percent normal. Growing normally, heartbeat is steady and no other implications. At your next check up we can determine the gender." She smiled printing off ultrasound pictures. I took them as we walked out of the office. Ryan took my face in his hands and glanced at the welt on my cheek.
"Does it still hurt?" He asked.
"Not much." I shrugged.
"How about you stay the night at my place? And get you some ice for your cheek." He said.
"Can we get food first?" I asked.
"Of course." He said pressing his mouth against mine. His lips massaged mine comfortingly and I smiled as he opened my mouth gently. Although he had tattoos down his whole arm and half of his other arm he was always so gentle. His dark hair and strong features gave him away as a mean guy, but he was so kind. He pulled back taking my hand.
"What would you like to eat?" He asked me.
"Chicken fingers or chicken nuggets and fries." I added while smiling.
"I got you, short stack." He teased.
