Into The Unknown

Chapter 70

Abigail's POV

I guess if I'm honest I was expecting that reaction from Ryan, he made no secret of how uncomfortable he was continuing with the pregnancy. I didn't push him about it though, because I realised if anything did happen and he chose them and they survived and I didn't, then he would get all the anger from my parents and Freya and possibly Nick too.

Which brings us to today, sitting in a resturant in the middle of Manhattan waiting for Nick was something I never expected to be doing again. Ryan had agreed this was something I needed to talk to him about by myself, the last time I spoke to Nick we ended up having a fight and after my news I hardly think this time would be any different.

The door opened slowly and Nick came in, he walked over to the table and sat down "Hi" he spoke cautiously.

"Hello" I replied "I got you a beer" I pointed to the bottle of beer on the table.

"Thanks" He replied still very cautious.

"Listen I know we have spoke over the phone and everything but I thought we should meet up and talk about this. You must have some questions" I ask Nick, he looks upset.

"Yeah the main one is what is the mortality rate?" Nick was blunt.

"75%" I winced as I waited for his reply.

"So you're going to die?" Nick's voice was still cold "Tell me at one point did you consider our daughter in the decision to continue with the pregnancy..."

"Nick that's not fair" I reply trying to keep as calm as possible.

"Isn't it? When was the last time you spoke to Freya about this? Huh?"

"I spoke to Freya this morning"

"About this?" Nick frowned.

"No but..." I try and defend myself.

"NO exactly, so how can you possibly know how she feels about it, have you asked her?" I shake my head unable to speak.

"And why is that? Is it because she doesn't factor in the bigger picture anymore?" Nick spat "I was going to apologise for what I said before, but do you know what I was right. You are more interested in Ryan's unborn babies than you are the kid you have here, your daughter who needs her mom"

"Nick" I watched as he stood up and walked out of the resturant. I got up quickly and followed him "Nick wait" we stopped just near the hotel Ryan and I were staying "Can we at least go inside and talk about this please"

"Fine" Nick walked in first.

I knew it was about to erupt as soon as that door closed Nick had a rage in his eyes that wasn't going to go away until he had aired all his opinions. Ryan was due back soon with Leroy, I simply prayed Nick would be fine by the time they got back.

"I know you're angry" I tried to reason with Nick "This hasn't been an easy decision for me"

"Really" Nick spat back at me "Well it looks easy from where I am standing, you chose his kids over ours"

"Nick I haven't chose any one" I replied and Nick laughed hysterically.

"You chose him over me years ago, while we were still married. I know you went pack to his hotel room with him Abi...I had you followed" Nick was furious.

"Excuse me?!" Something inside me suddenly snapped "What gives you the fucking right to come to me and play the victim? Yes I went back to his hotel room but nothing happened, you can't say the same about that dancer Nick"

"Do you blame me?" Nick's reply flawed me "I had no attention from you at home, we weren't even sleeping in the same bed" tears filled my eyes and Nick just laughed at me "What's wrong Abi does the truth hurt?"

"You need to leave, I wanted to talk to you about Freya" I tried so hard to hide my emotions.

"Oh so now you want to discuss Freya, always when it suits you" Nick went at me again "Well not anymore, Lauren and I have been talking and we are going to fight you for custody"

My heart shattered in my chest, I was surprised Nick didn't hear it "You wouldn't"

"Wouldn't I, I have the paper work right here" Nick held up some forms "Ever since you have been with Ryan you have put him first, and now them" Nick pointed to my stomach "Our daughter deserves better, she deserves a mother who will look after her"

"Oh and I suppose Lauren is that mother" I yell furiously "If god wanted her to be a mother he would have gifted her with a baby of her own, I guess she's not fit either" the poison that dripped out of my mouth surprised me just as much as Nick.

"Nick I'm sorry" Nick shoved past me pushing me into the side and straight onto a mug, it cut into my hand as it broke "OW" I called out.

Ryan and Leroy couldn't have come through the door at a worst moment, here I was leaning over the side covered in blood and Nick was stood right behind me "Ryan, Ryan NO" I screamed as I watched Ryan bulldoze Nick into the wall with the collar of his shirt.

"Ryan stop" I yelled as I moved forwards to stop him, but Leroy stopped me.

"Let me" he whispered "The babies Abi" I watched helplessly as Ryan hit Nick once, twice, three, four times, Leroy was desperately trying to pull Ryan back. I wasn't sure if Ryan was mad at Nick or if this was all his frustration coming out, suddenly a few more of our security staff came rushing in.

My sight went blurry as I felt a trickle down my leg, I looked down as saw a red patch forming on the floor "Ryan" I tried...suddenly every went black as I heard the crash of a cup on the ground beside me...
