Painful Promises (A Laurmau Fanfic) (Book 1)

Chapter 12

Aphmau's POV

"Ahem." I slowly start turning around fearing that its someone I don't want to see.. Ugh, nevermind.. Of course, its Lilian... Zane's "sidekick". She smiles at me.

"Why are you here? What do you want from us? I know for a fact your up to no good Lilian."

"Hey! Cant a woman give someone a outfit without being judgmentally stared at?"

"Heh. Not when your a monsters sidekick.." I mumble..

"What was that? You better watch your words honey, O'kasis could end Phoenix Drop in the blink of an eye."

Crossing my arms, I yank the outfit out of Lilians hands.

"Thanks. You can leave now."

"Ha! Funny. Im not leaving until I explore some more of Phoenix Drop."

"Lilian. You relize that your in Phoenix Drop borders so we have every right to kill you.."

"Not unless you have a good cause. And proof." She laughs manically and sashays away. Mother of Irene, I despise that woman. I have a feeling she's up to no good, and once the guards see her, I guarantee that she'll immediately be outta this village. I'm not letting the outfit she made me go to waste, though I probably want to have Zoey check it out. You know, to make sure Lilian didn't put a spell on it or try to harm us with anything.. Hey! It wouldn't be the first time... I sashay like Lilian did and mock her all the way to my house. Opening the door, Zoey stares at me. Pale as a ghost.

"Zoey? What's wrong?"

"Aphmau.. Im sensing a terrible aura around the house.. W-Whats in your hand?"

"I-It's a outfit Lilian made me, I was actually just about to ask you if you could check it out to see if its safe to wear.."

"Ha! Hahahaha!"

"What's so funny?"

"Aphmau, clothes cant be poisoned.. Or harm you.. Er- They CAN but it takes extreme forces of power to do so.. I mean, ill check over the clothes, fairly because Zane is one of great power.."

"Thanks Zoey!"

Now, sitting at the table with Malachi.. I explain to him that soon he's going to have a little brother.. Malachi just stares at me and beams. Oddly enough, he's excited. We thought he would be jealous, but he's actually taking this very well... Zoey walks up the basement stairs and hands me the clothes.

"They're safe Aphmau.. A little bit revealing, but safe."

"Thanks a million, Zoey!"

Malachi jumps onto my back and we run upstairs to my room. Malachi sits outside my bedroom while I dress. Ugh, these old clothes are raggedy and torn.. And extremely dirty. But these new clothes are amazing! It's a loose, black crop top with a green skirt and black sparkly belt. Its seriously stunning.  As soon as I barely open the door, Malachi pushes it open and hugs me.

"Momma looks pwetty!"

"Aww, Thanks Malachi. I love you.. Never forget that."

"Malachi loves momma more!"

"Uh huh, lets see what the tickle monster has to say about that!"

"AHH! OH NO! NOT THE TICKLE MONSTER!" And we start running through the house, tickling each other.

I fall to the ground in pain. My stomachs killing me. Malachi runs outside, im assuming he's going to get Laurence..

Laurence's POV

Malachi's been interrupting me and Garroth constantly. I finally turn my head and ask him what he wants.

"DADDY! MOMMA CRYING! W-WE WERE PLAYING TICKLE MONSTER A-AND SHE FELL ON THE GROUND AND START YELLING HOLDING HER STOMACH!" Malachi runs out of breath.

"W-What!? W-Wait.. Levin!" I run as fast as I can to the house and swoop Aphmau in my arms and immediately run to Donna.  As soon as Donna sees her, She stops cleaning and immediately lays Aphmau down on a hospital bed. She pushes me and Garroth out of the room and Logan takes us to the waiting room. I pick up a Victoria Secret magazine. Garroth slaps it out of my hand.

"YOUR MARRIED."

"Well I guess I'll have to fix that. "

"I take her!!"

"I was kidding, Garroth. That womans my life."

Donna walks out and stares at the ground..

"L-Laurence.. We need you." She walks me to Aphmau's room and shoves me in.

"Laurence.. When this child was born, everything was so bright you could barely see anything. A pendant rose up and snapped in half. It shattered into tiny pieces of dust and took form of a child. How is it possible for a baby to be born this way!?"

"I don't know! You tell me! YOUR the doctor!"

Donna hands me little Levin.. He has blue eyes.. Like me.. But yet, I can already tell he has his mothers personality.. 

"H-He's precious..."

Aphmau holds my hand..

"Agreed.."

Logan pats me on the back. "You did good Laurence, you did good." I smile at him and hug little Levin.. I hand him to Aphmau and she sings softly to him. Levin dozes off. 

Aphmau's POV

--- Three days later ---

Ugh, I'm so tired from taking care of Levin. I don't know where i'd be without Laurence helping out. He's done everything in his will for Levin.. I walk home from Mistletoe mountain... My favorite mountain.. Full of cherry blossom trees, its a beautiful sight, really it is. As soon as I open the door, I walk upstairs to check on Levin.. Considering its so late at night I just want to make sure he's sleeping ok.. I walk into my bedroom and see Laurence humming a song and asleep with Levin on his chest.. I sit there and watch for a moment. He's such and amazing father.. He's my life. My heart. My world. I lay down in bed beside Laurence and fall asleep in a heartbeat. Man, I was tired!

--- The next morning <3 ---

Aye! Im so tired! I want to go back to sleep but I cant over the obnoxious sound of Levin screaming and crying.. It silences for a minute. Laurence jolts out of bed. I jump up to see whats wrong. We stand there in shock. Lilians at Levin's crib. Laughing like a maniac.

"DONT YOU DARE TOUCH HIM! I WILL END YOU!" Laurence screams at her.

Lilian makes a pouty face and talks in a baby voice "Aw, but the fun just begun!"
