One Night

Chapter 20: Jumping to a Conclusion

XO POV

A few days later I was officially all moved in to Ronny's place. I put my last box of clothing away and flopped onto our bed. "Finally done!" I said happily. 

Ronny smiled and kissed my cheek, "I'm so glad you said yes." He told me. 

I leaned into him, "Me too," I whispered, grabbing his face in my hands, kissing him sweetly. 

A few hours later I had another doctor's appointment, but Ronny had to work so I drove alone. I checked in and soon got escorted into an exam room. "Hey Xo, how have things been lately?" My doctor asked.

 "Good, good. I haven't had any pain since that night, but I also have been taking things extra carefully." I told her. She nodded and typed down notes onto the computer. She turned on the monitor to look at the baby and things looked good. She was growing so much. 

"Okay, Xo everything looks very good. I want you to still take it easy as precaution, but I think we are in the clear. Your estimated due date is March 4th, which is just about 3 months away. Exciting isn't it?" She stated and I grinned and nodded. 

As I walked to my car, I heard the phone ringing. "Hey," I answered. 

"It's Ursula, I have a question for you." She started.

 "Okay shoot," 

"Well you know how we ran into Warner the other day and you said he was staring at me? And how you said you would be fine with it if I was interested in him?" She said. I grinned, "Yes, I remember." 

"Well I've been thinking, and do you think it'd be alright if I did ask him out, and if you could give me his number?" She asked, nervousness in her voice. 

"Yes, that would be great! I think you two would be really good together, I'll send you his phone number when I get home." I told her. 

"Thanks Xo! I'll talk to you later." I hung up and I decided that before I headed home I would stop by the bar. 

I headed into the familiar place, feeling a little odd being 6 months pregnant in a bar, but I shook it off. I was hoping to see Ronny, but when I headed to the bar, Ronny wasn't there, but Warner was. "Hey, long time no see," Warner greeted with a smile. 

I awkwardly chuckled, "Yeah. Is Ron here?" I asked him. 

"No he had to get something at the store for the bar." He answered. 

I nodded and turned to leave when I stopped, "Hey I have something to propose to you," I started, sitting down with effort at a bar stool. 

He leaned against the bar, "I'm listening,' "So you know my friend Ursula, who I was with last week, with the blonde hair?" I asked 

He smiled, "Yeah she was gorgeous, couldn't forget her." He said. 

"Well I was wondering if I could give her your number." I proposed. 

His smile grew and he ran hands through his short brunette hair, "I'd like that a lot, and could I have hers?" He asked, I nodded and gave it to him. 

"She seems lovely, I'll call her as soon as my shift ends."

I smiled, happy for my friend. "Wonderful. Be kind to her, remember I know where you live,' I teased. 

Suddenly I hear my name called, "Xo?" I turn and see Ronny with a confused look on his face.

I attempt to get off the stool, but Warner heads around the bar and grabs my hands to help me. "Thanks," I replied, and walked to Ronny. 

"What are you doing here?" He asked me.

"I came to see you, but then I got distracted talking to Warner." I explained. 

His face was unreadable, "What were you two talking about?" He asked, somewhat casually. 

"Nothing important," I brushed off. The bar was starting to get busier, "It looks like a crowd is coming so I'll let you go. See you at home Ronny." I told him, quickly pecking him on the cheek before heading out.

----BREAK----

RONNY POV

After I saw Warner talking to Xo again, I felt my chest tighten. I couldn't help but feel twinges of jealousy when I saw her talking to Warner, or many guys for that matter. She was so casual about talking to him, and I didn't like it. 

I unpacked the bottles that I had just picked up from the store. I tended to the people and when I was cleaning a absent section of bar, I noticed Warner texting someone with a giddy expression on his face. "Who are you texting?" I asked him. 

He looked up at me, "Who are you, the boss?" He poked back. 

I could feel my usually cool temper rise a bit. "Are you texting Xo?" 

"It's none of your business dude," He provoked. 

"It actually is dude. Xo is my girlfriend, we're having a baby together and I'd appreciate it if you don't talk to her and stay the hell away from her." I snapped boldly. 

Amusement was clear on his face, "The baby is seriously your only grounds. If you hadn't knocked her up, you wouldn't be with her. You ruined her chances of being young and free." He spoke coldly. 

"Fuck you dude," I spit. 

"If I was texting her, why would I tell you, or anyone. I'd be sending her some private things." He sneered.

And the next moment, Warner went flying to the ground after my fist connected to his face.
