Aria's Story (Deception Sequel)

Chapter 6

3 Months Later

Aria

I was awake, laying in bed tracing my now huge tummy with my index finger. It felt weird knowing there’s a human inside of me.

“ARIA!”

“Coming Mom!”

I dragged myself out of bed and walked downstairs, attempting to pull my shirt over my belly the whole way down.

“I need you up, I made you breakfast its on the counter, your tutor will be here at 1”

“Thanks ma”

“Oh and try to get some exercise in Aria, I know you want your body back when this is all over”

“I will mom trust me… where are you going?”

“Spending the day out…. with Bryan”

“I’m glad he’s making you happy… you deserve it”

“Thank you baby, I needed it…”

I smiled at her and she laughed

“Don’t have too much fun!” I said

“Ohh I won’t” she said sarcastically “The keys to the old Mercedes are on the hook ONLY if you really need to”

“I don’t think I’ll be driving anywhere haha”

“I know, but just in case… Anyway I’ll see you later”

She kissed my forehead and walked towards the door.

“You two be good”

“We will!”

She walked out and I became instantly bored. My mom and I’s relationship has been better lately, but not perfect, I guess its gonna take time…I walked down to the den, where she kept all of Patrick’s stuff. His clothes, records, CDs. I grabbed a pair of his sweats and threw them on.

“Daddy had style haha”

I went back to the kitchen and started on the breakfast Layla made for me. The doorbell rang and I was thinking it was her. Surprisingly it wasn’t.

“Aria, can we talk?”

His lip was bruised and her had a bloodshot eye. He looked down at my stomach and cracked a smile

“What Kel?”

“I want us to work on things.”

“What happened to Salisha?”

“I’m done with her Aria”

“Like I’ve never heard that before”

“Listen I’m sorry Aria, I want you, I want our family”

“My daughter will have all the family she needs without you”

“She needs her dad Aria”

I knew what was coming next, so before he said it and got me angry I allowed him in.

“Sit over there and take your shoes off”

He placed his shoes by the doorway and sat in the living room

“Nice face… what happened this time?”

“She set me up”

“Saw that one coming”

“…So we’re having a daughter?”

“Yea… are you happy?”

He walked over and brushed his hand over my tummy. I can tell he was kinda scared to touch it
