Aisha's POV
I wiped my mouth and flushed the chain as I leant against the bath, Valencia came in and knelt down next to me. "Were you sick again?" she asked as I nodded splashing cold water over my hot face. She handed my a glass as I filled it with water and sipped it. "Its got to be more than just a bug, ive been with you and im not sick" she mused. For the past few days ive done nothing but throw up, I cant eat and can only drink water. I figured maybe It was just a bug but then I remembered when I went to put my jeans on this morning I couldn't button them up.
I put it down to too many takeouts, "what what is it?" Valencia asked. "I need my diary" I replied getting up and going to my bag as I rummaged through it. I pulled it out and flicked through the pages frantically, "what are you going through that for?" she asked. "Whats the date?" I questioned, "erm the 18th june why?" she replied. "Oh no, no this cant be happening No" I muttered pacing the floor in front of the table.
"Will you stand still and tell me!" she said, "I don't have a bug. The throwing up, the strange food, not being able to do my jeans up, im late. Valencia I think im pregnant" I said as her eyes fell to my stomach. "Then we need to get you a test" she replied shrugging on her coat, my stomach lurched as I clamped my hand over my mouth and ran for the bathroom. "Ok i'll go will you be ok?" she called, "sure thing" I replied through gasps. Once I was done I went and lay on the bed, if I was pregnant the baby isn't tommy's its Adams.
Hes the last person I slept with, he was going to freak out when I told him. I heard the door handle rattling as I stood and knelt down behind the bed, it rattled some more as I held my breath my heart pounding in my ears. The door flew open as I heard footsteps, "what you doing behind there" A voice said as I jumped and saw Valencia laying on the bed. "You scared me I thought you were tommy" I said standing, "nah It took ages to get the key in the hole" she replied.
"Did you buy the whole shop?" I asked looking at the bags on the bed, "nope just a few things figured we cant live on takeout. This is for you go do it now" she said handing me the box. I went into the bathroom, its basically peeing on a stick and waiting right. I followed the instructions as Valencia sat next to me on the bath, three minutes seemed to drag as I stared at the stick in my hand. "Its time" Valencia said stopping the countdown on her phone, I flipped it over as two bold blue lines formed on it. I dropped it in the sink, "I cant keep it!" I cried.
"Why not?" Valencia asked, "because adam will go crazy! Tommy will flip, adam will think ive trapped him. You cant tell anyone please Valencia" I asked. "Ok fine but you need to tell adam soon your jeans already don't fit, youre gonna have to make up your mind whether youre keeping it or not" she told me. I nodded as my phone trilled in the front room, I went to answer it. "Hello?" I said, the line crackled "well hello there Aisha. Youre a difficult woman to get hold of shame adam wasn't as hard for me to get" tommys voice replied.
"I swear to god you better not have hurt him! If you have im going to kill you!" I hissed. "Aw how sweet, your pretty boy is safe for now but he hasn't got long left I think hes slowly slipping through my fingers" he answered. "What have you done to him tommy?" I demanded, "just gave him a little something to keep him quiet got a few hits in there hes finally shut up now though" he told me. "What do you want tommy?" I asked, "you" he replied.
"Me?" I asked, "yes you know you belong with me. Come home and we can stop all this silly talk of hostages and hurting people. As a good well gesture i'll even let your little gayboy go" he continued. "That's your ultimatum me or him?" I replied, "call it a reasonable offer a deal if you will. You come home I'll let him go, you don't he dies your choice" he went on. "You wont hurt him?" I questioned, "nope you have my word I can play nice" he stated. I swallowed "fine but I don't want you hurting him anymore" I told him.
"I promise" he answered, "fine" I replied. "Good girl I knew youd do the right thing" he cooed as the phone line went dead. "Well?" Valencia questioned, "hes going to kill him unless I go back to him"I told her. "But hes a psycho, he'll probably kill you aswell then there the baby please don't go back there" she begged. "I have no choice I cant let him hurt adam anymore hes hurt him enough what other choice do I have?" I asked, "we need a plan. Me and blaise will come with you, you can distract him we'll get adam. We wont let him hurt you or adam" she disclosed.
"I cant put you guys in danger, this whole mess has hurt enough people2 I mused. "Tough we're coming look we'll think of a plan on the way" she instructed as blaise came through the door. "Get in the car come on blaise weve got stuff to sort out with mr Ratliff" Valencia explained grabbing him and pulling him down the steps to the car. She sped up the road and towards the interstate, stay strong adam we're coming I whispered to myself my hand on my stomach.
