"YOU DID WHAT?!" To say I was angry would be an understatement.
I was furious.
"You didn't even ask me!" I screamed at Alexander as he tried to hold my hand but I pulled away from him.
"I did it for you." I scoffed and crossed my arms. "I didn't ask for that!"
We'd been fighting for maybe twenty minutes now and I didn't even want to look at him. "Just go away."
He stepped towards me making me back away, "Leave Alexander." He sighed and walked out.
I sat down and pulled my knees to my chest.
I have to give up my child because two witches saved me? Like hell, I will. I will not go down without a fight.
She will be my daughter so that means that she'll be mine. Or I could just make sure to not have kids. No kids? What would happen?
I groaned in frustration and covered my face with my hands. Why does it seem like everything just turns bad for me?
Well obviously that's because it has.
"Ems." I looked up and saw my mom. "Mommy." I couldn't help but cry as she engulfed me into a hug.
She shushed me while running a hand through my hair, but it only made me cry harder.
"It's going to be okay baby. We'll figure this out." I nodded while clutching onto her shirt.
She hugged me tighter and kissed the temple of my head.
"Everything will be okay baby."

"I don't think it's a good idea. What are we going to do?" I could hear voices around me, I knew it belonged to those of my family and friends.
"Out of all deals, they wanted a child." I could hear the hate in Sylvia's voice.
"Ugh this is infuriating!" I heard a loud noise and then someone cry out in pain.
"Sophia! Don't do that!" I'm guessing she had done something to hurt herself. Clumsy Sophia.
I decided to stay pretending as they spoke.
"Now, my future grandchild is at risk here." Oh daddy. "What's the plan?" Plan? The hell is going on? "There is no plan.."
The words that flew from Alexander's mouth broke my heart. "No plan?!" Mother exclaimed.
"They'll kill us. They'll wipe our pack out." I was scared, scared for my friends, my family.
"We proceed with the plan. Except there will be a plot twist." I could practically tell he was smirking.
"They said they wanted a baby, right?" From the silence I presumed everyone nodded.
"They said they wanted our baby but when she's born we'll give them another." That's when I opened my eyes.
"That's stupid." I muttered. "They're witches, they're going to know the difference."
I was glaring at them for thinking that it would be okay. "We can't just give them another child and risk the extinction of our pack." I growled at them while attempting to stand up.
Syl thankfully came to help me since my legs felt like jello. "I would never want to wish someone to lose their baby like I'll have to lose mine."
It broke my heart saying those words but I was being serious. I'd never want someone to do that for me.
"So you're saying you'll be willing to give up our child?" Alexander asked obviously angered with what I had said.
"What option have you left us with? We have no choice!" I was now fuming in anger.
"They saved me and now we owe them." I stated through gritted teeth.
When I felt like I could walk again I walked out of the hospital.
Stupid choice but I mean I just wanted to go home and sleep.
I deserved to sleep for a week and then cry. I was going to lose my baby girl.
I waved for a taxi and they looked at me weird considering I'm only in a hospital robe thingy. I told them my address and when they dropped me off I paid them.
My house looked the same, but I was never going to be the same. I knew this, I think everyone did.
I walked to my room and got under my covers. "I'm going to lose my baby.." I whispered before breaking down into tears.
I knew it was going to be hard but just thinking about it made my heart ache. It was like telling me I'd never be able to have kids.
"Emily." He was the last person I wanted to see but I needed him.
He sighed and got under the covers with me, wrapping his arms around me.
I clutched onto his shirt as I sobbed uncontrollably to which he just held me and let me cry.
Why did they want a child? What would they do to her? Would she know that they're not her real parents? Would I be able to see her?
So many questions ran through my head as I cried in Alexander's arms.
I know he did it to save me from myself but it still hurt. I wasn't even pregnant yet and it hurt so much already.
When that day comes, I know it's going to be hard.
