The buzzing feeling on my nose from the phone on my pillow had awakened me. It was a text; I hope it isn't any of my friends they would probably be worrying or saying "I'm coming over right now!" or something rash. To your surprise it said Mephisto Pheles. You were really scared from the possibilities of messages that he could've sent you. He's been acting so out of character really anything could be written on that message. Taking every bit of energy left, my face cringed closing my eyes shut tapping the message open. 'Meet me at the lobby at eight; I want to take you somewhere.' My face smiled hopelessly, I'm such a fool for him. No. I told him I was pregnant for god sakes and all he did was slam the door on his room; he will not be forgiven that easily.
'Seven o'clock' Shit one hour. I will try to look nice this time. Turning on the TV as a background noise was soothing to me for some reason. The draft coming from the closet on my skin was cold, it had been a while since I actually had to wear my old clothes, the convenience of uniforms was that I didn't really have to think about what to wear; I just wore whatever uniform was in season. Memories of life before the academy were brought up digging through the old clothes. I decided to choose a black pencil skirt from the year before. It was quite a trend at my old school but I just liked them because they slimmed my waist perfectly finding a frilly tank top to go with it. When I smelled my old clothes they smelled sweet like a vanilla perfume that I used to always wear. I put on a cassimere black cardigan that my aunt bought me. I curled my hair softly to the side and did my makeup with my best skills possible then sprayed a few spritz of my old vanilla perfume. Looking at the phone clock it said 7:50 so I quickly slipped on my flats and made my way to the schools lobby.
I always liked the lobby with its fancy decor and dark varnished finish for some reason. When I came he was standing at the bottom of the steps in a dark suit and hat that really suited him well. Ignoring the group of students staring, I walked down the stairs to him. I could tell that he pulled himself together since earlier on I mean he practically fell apart. "Hello my dear." He said kissing your hand when you reached the bottom of the stairs. I smiled at my feet "Hi" Yeah he was definitely back to his old charming self. When he does that I can't help but blush I guess I have a weakness for chivalry. He took me by the arm leading me to the limousine waiting outside. He was treating me like royalty it was really sweet. No, I must snap out of it. I can't forgive him that easy; he hasn't even said anything, like he was pretending nothing happened.
Twenty minutes later we arrived at a restaurant in the city, it was absolutely gorgeous. I never thought there was a place on this earth more elegant and magnificent then the academy but I was proven wrong. There was fountains shooting up in the sky that bordered the entrance way, we stepped inside the smell of food and warmth was calming as it rushed around your face. He led me up to a seat by a big window overlooking japan "So Meph what brings us here." I asked putting on a bored face, trying to hold back my amazement. "I want to apologize..." "For my sick, vile, demonic acts. Taking the innocence of a child is nothing to be passed over."
"For I am a dirty dog now and I apologize for all of the pain that you will have to go through. I should have been more responsible." He cringed from the guilt it looked like he was about to cry. I hate seeing him like this, it hurts me to watch. I pulled him up and wrapped my arms around his neck. My heart couldn't stop beating it hurt. Softly kissing his neck, I said "You are no dog. You are my prince... If you hadn't realized by now I am truly, madly hopelessly in love with you Mephisto. Don't you ever think that of yourself again."

It had only been a few days but I felt like I was dying from this pregnancy. It was hard but Mephisto being there helped me feel about one hundred times better. It was a relaxed day; Mephisto took work off for the past few days which made the staff worry. He never takes work off for anything. I've been staying at his house with him and it wasn't too bad. I cuddled up to Mephisto as we lay around watching TV in our pajamas for the day. This was hard for him, he felt responsible and couldn't see you like this the least he could do was stay around and help you. The odd thing was it had been not even a week and I had all of these pregnancy symptoms that you would get in your second or third trimesters. All I craved was sweets and more sweets. That was a bonus staying at Mephisto's house because that's pretty much all the two ate; cakes, cookies and candies filled the place and I delved in eating more than you ever have in your life.
I sat on the couch with a plate of deserts, they both stared at me all wide eyed. I laughed, it was probably shocking to them knowing that I'm usually like the healthiest eater around. Breaking the silence I had to ask "So what about school. I can't go back there but please don't kick me out either. I know I'm just living on a scholarship but I don't know what to do." I frowned looking puzzled. He laughed out loud,
"Do you even remember who I am? I'm also the principal of this school. Of course I wouldn't let that happen." He said, absent mindedly on his laptop.
"I know but I can't just quit classes and stay in the dorms either people would start to worry."
He slapped the laptop shut, "Here's what I'll do... (First name) you're suspended from the academy so I guess you can't stay there anymore." I scowled "Well that wasn't very nice..." He busted laughing "No, no I'm not kidding your suspended. Its school policy but you can just live with me for now dear. You can go back to classes next year with a fresh start, sound good?"
"Okay." Hm, staying at Mephisto's for a year? This will be interesting, I have a feeling.

I woke up the next morning on the couch with the sun glaring into my face through the window. It hurt my eyes and gave me a piercing migraine. Morning sickness was probably the worst thing ever invented and it certainly wasn't fun. Mephisto held my hair for me and rubbed my back. I kept having little episodes my, body ached with a fever all the time. A part of me felt so guilty having him stay here with me all day and night. I assumed he'd get mad but to my surprise he was really gentle and patient. My body pains were so agonizing this time I had to burst into tears, Mephisto cradled me easing my little whimpers. I stopped crying feeling him hug me, resting my head on his robe. I smirked saying "You are going to make one heck of a Father Mr. Pheles." But I wasn't joking I truly believed it.
Mephisto went to bed around 2am to go to sleep but I just called them naps knowing he only slept for like an hour. "Night" I said turning off the flat screen. I tried to get some sleep too, even though it probably wouldn't happen. When I closed my eyes all I could feel was my head pound so I went to go get some water- "Ah!" I let out a shrieking moan falling to the floor. He busted the door open trying to find you; you were crouching on the ground like something had hit you. My stomach sent a shooting pain through my body, I grabbed my stomach whimpering trying to ease the pain, it hurt so bad. "What's wrong??" He gasped kneeling down to you at the sight of you when you looked up. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my life. I started to cough gasping for air, when I pulled my hand from my face it was covered in blood. I could feel my lips quiver when I started crying. "I don't know." He grabbed you hugging you tightly. When I jerked to grab my stomach again when I felt the pain, this time I looked. My entire left side was covered in a big bruise. "That is it. Having sickness at four days is one thing but this is another I'm calling the emergency room."
