Rebel At Heart

Chapter 26: What Got Me Through It?

"I'm going out to Quinn's party tonight. You coming?"

"No. I can't drink alcohol remember? You knocked me up."

"You keep reminding me. I know. You have told me this for the past week. The baby isn't due until January. Calm down."

I laughed. Calm? I was still a little anxious about the fact that there was a child growing inside of me. Andrew was different. I didn't know I was pregnant with him. Thank god I didn't drink or go to any parties when I was pregnant.

I grabbed a glass and filled it with water. I took a sip and grabbed my keys.

"I'm heading over to see Rylyn. Raini texted me earlier and asked if I could come over and help out a bit."

He nodded.

"Be careful. I want that body in perfect condition for later."

"Screw you, Blake. I told you. I'm not having sex until after the baby is already here."

"That's not what you were saying last Saturday when I was buried inside of you."

"I'm out! I can't take your shit. I'll be back later!"

I left and climbed into my car. The cool April morning air felt great against my skin. I was constantly varying in temperature. One minute, I was sweating, the next, I was shivering.

As of right now, I was hot. I drove over to Raini's house with the window rolled down.

I knocked on the door and Trenton answered.

"Hey, Boston. Here to see Raini?"

I nodded.

"She asked me to come over to help with Rylyn."

He pointed towards the stairs.

"Up in the nursery. Oh, and if you hear weird noises, Cas is in the middle of punishing Matt in the sex dungeon."

"And where is the dungeon located?"

"Downstairs. There's a section of the basement divided into separate rooms. One is storage, one is the boiler room, and the other is the sex dungeon."

"What about the sacrifice room?"

He smiled.

"That's the entire rest of the basement. The pizza god needs space to be worshipped."

"Alright. So everything is in the basement?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"And the nursery is upstairs, second floor?"

"Yeah."

"You just wanted to tell me that my brother was in the middle of sex, didn't you?"

He smiled.

"Fuck you, Trenton."

He laughed and I walked up to the nursery. Raini was in the middle of bottle feeding Rylyn.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"How's she doing?"

"Good. She's almost asleep. Give me a minute."

I nodded and looked around the nursery. The pink and gray walls went together perfectly. The pale brown crib tied it all together.

"There. Let's go."

We walked back downstairs. She tossed me the remote for the stereo.

"What's this for?"

"Matt and Cas are downstairs. They know you're here. Notice how Trenton magically disappeared?"

Oh god. Just then, the moans increased in volume. I flicked on the stereo and Raini laughed.

"Not too loud. Rylyn is asleep, remember."

I nodded and we drummed up a conversation about nothing in particular.

==========================================================================

I stuck my key into the apartment door and unlocked it. My earbuds were in place, currently playing 'Coffin'.

I threw my stuff on the table and headed in the direction of the bedroom. I opened the door, to find Blake on the bed.

"Hey Blake."

He looked surprised. He said something but I had to remove my earbuds in order to hear.

"What?"

"I said, what are you doing home so early?"

"It's ten at night Blake. Raini didn't need my help any longer."

Someone's head popped up. Someone I clearly failed to notice when I entered.

Shit.

My eyes widened. The girl clutched the blankets to her breasts.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Boston, I can explain."

Only then did I notice the slightly slurred speech.

Blake was drunk, fucking another woman in our bed.
