Aticm and Korosu

Chapter 44

~korosu~
About seven months into it, Ashton couldn't be any more excited. He had been over a bit more, slept over at times, then gone to see the boys. I had been in sitting on the couch with Ashton one night, mainly talking about names. "Maybe something along the lines of Daniel or Sam?" "Yeah, I think we've got some time though." We both nodded, a huge smile on his face. "I cannot wait, I'm gonna be a daddy." By now, I was smiling too, nodding slowly. "Yes you will ash, yes you will." I put a hand across my stomach, feeling him slightly kick my hand. "You wanna stay up or go to bed?" He slightly giggled, looking down at me. "We can stay up, but I'll probably fall asleep anyways." We both eventually agreed on heading to bed, yet my mind decided to fuck with me again.

My stomach is contracting, my hands gripping the sides of the steel table. This isn't a hospital.
It's surges lab.
I try to stand up, but the pain doesn't allow me to move. "Better hold still, don't want to hurt the little guy, you better wait until he's out first." I try to move, or at least kick him, but I can't. My lungs aren't working right, blood covering the table. Ashton is nowhere to be seen, only surge. I feel more contracting pain, then all I see is black.

I woke up with a start, hands clutching my stomach. Ashton must have been with the boys, since he wasn't here. "It's a dream......it's just a terrible dream." These had become more common, yet it still made my mind race. Trying to clear my mind, I got out of bed, throwing on an oversized hoodie and some sweatpants. I was supposed to be at the motel today, and hopefully a certain bitch doesn't show up.

I was sitting with AJ and Jackie on the couch at the motel, an arm over my stomach. AJ was still filling her in on all of us, since she had just joined the group, and this was something she was careful not to skip. "How far along are you?" "Seven months I believe." Jackie was smiling, her cheeks peppered with small freckles. "Adorable. Can I ask what it's like?" I've only been asked this a few times in person. A million times on Twitter. "Yep. Well, since my heart doesn't beat, I can hear his heartbeat clearly. It's kinda weird, thinking that there is something living and kicking inside you." She nodded, still smiling. "Sounds like a good thing." "It really is." Jackie sat next to me, her red and orange hair swept to the side. "So, you're in here from France?" She nodded slightly. "Yes, I fled the country after I killed my father." Girl who murdered her father. Nice. "I see. Have you met surge yet?" "Who?" I take that as a no. "Don't listen to everything he says, what he says is usually lies, okay?" She nodded, smiling. "Merci korosu." Wait...French...thank you? "No problem Jackie." A smile spread across my face, my skin glitching. Eventually, my luck ran out. Surge, of course, had to show up. I was talking with AJ and Jackie, about something actually productive, when he walked through the door, smirking like an idiot. "Well hello AJ, new person, and you." The more he spoke, the more I wished I could kill him on spot. "Korosu, is this surge?" Jackie must have caught on quickly, since she probably saw my face. "Yes Jackie, this is surge." He waved slowly. "Hello, well, I see you've been talking with her, what all terrible stuff has she told you about me so far?" Why did I leave my dagger at home? Why? "Don't worry, she's more of a bitch than I ever am." I was sick and tired of this idiot screwing everything up. Standing quickly, despite AJ's warning, I clenched my jaw. "Okay, one fight is fine. Five is stupid. Ten is screwed up. This crossed the line." I don't care anymore. All I want to do is kill him. I grab his neck, socking him in the stomach. "This is what you deserve." Continuously, I struck his stomach, hoping he would die, until I felt a hit on my stomach. He had punched me right where the baby would be, hoping to make me stop. I hit him straight in the nose, blood running down his face. AJ pulled me back, surge running out. Jackie was muttering something in French, while she gripped my shoulders. "Do you realize how stupid that was?! Korosu, you almost killed him. What the literal hell?" I ignored her words, only hoping the baby wasn't hurt. Putting my hand on my stomach, I felt his foot hit my hand softly. He's okay. I am going to fucking kill him. First chance I get, he's a dead man.
