Money, Power, and Fame || Jonathan Toews Book 1

Chapter 54 : I Want it Gone

Michelle grabs my wedding dress off the rack and lays it on my bed. "There." Michelle says looking down at my packed bags.

"Thank you." I say smiling. She nods and sighs. "I'm sorry I won't be there until dinner." Michelle says. "And that my sister is why we hired a camera man." I say.

Michelle smiles and nods. "Better late than never. Right?" I ask trying to make her feel less guilty.

"It's just you were there when I needed you for my wedding and I wasn't there for yours. I mean your dad isn't going already." Michelle says.

I frown, but it's true. My dad was on a business trip in Japan and he wouldn't make it back on time.

"Well at least Jeff is going." I say grabbing my bag. Jonathan walks in and stares at the two of us. I raise my eyebrows curious of what he's thinking.

"Guess who will be helping you get ready for the wedding." Jonathan says smiling. A fake smile if I may add. "Who?" I ask. "My mother." He says.

"Oh cool." I say smiling as I walk out the room with my belongings. "Are you serious? You do realize she will do things you may not want to be done." Jonathan says.

"Your mom is sweet Jonathan, I don't see the negative side of this." I say making my way downstairs.

"Okay then." Jonathan says taking my bag from me. "Yo cousin." I hear the familiar voice of Patrick. I turn and he stands there smiling at me. "Hiya." I say smiling. "You know that I don't like Jonathan right? He's always trying to beat me in everything." Patrick says throwing his arm over my shoulder.

"I'm literally right here." Jonathan says. "See I'm telling you always trying to beat me to you." Patrick says not even making sense.

I roll my eyes and Jonathan walks away.

"Hey Monroe." Sam says walking into the house. "Hey." I say smiling. Sam sets down his luggage and turns to Michelle who gives him his ticket.

"You've been working out I see." Sam says. "That wedding dress wouldn't have fit if I stayed laying on the couch eating take out." I say. Sam smiles and brings me into a hug.

"What do you think you're doing?" Patrick asks pushing Sam away from me. I roll my eyes and Sam raises an eyebrow at him. "I'm protecting her from all harm." Patrick says.

"I'm her brother, what makes you think I would hurt her?" Sam asks. "You can't trust no one." Patrick says. "I'm not no one, I'm Sam. Come on Patrick think." Sam says hugging me again.

Patrick rolls his eyes and I chuckle. "Funny." Patrick says. "Come on lets get in the car!" Michelle yells. "Calm down, the baby will pop out." Sam says. Michelle flips him off and I chuckle as I walk out the house.

We land in LA after a long flight of Patrick poking and being annoying.

"Never sitting next to him again." Jonathan says grabbing our carry ons. "Your the one who suggested we did." I say. Jonathan waves me off and I smile.

We gather our bags and wait for Jeff. It was our first time we would see Keilani since her accident and I was nervous to see her outcome.

Patrick was quite now. He was tapping his foot quickly and I can tell he was getting impatient. "Would you stop?" Jonathan asks laughing. Patric shoots a glare at him and I raise my eyebrows surprised of his anger towards Jonathan.

"Look sorry, all I want to do is see how Keilani is." Patrick says picking up his bags and whistling for a cab.

"Okay then." I say as he climbs into one.

I feel food rising up my throat and rush to the trash can where I throw up. Jonathan rushes to my side and pulls back my hair. "What the hell happened?" The familiar sound of Jeff says.

I look up and give him a worried look. "I don't-" I get cut off by the chunks of food trying to escape my mouth.

Jeff closes his eyes quick before walking over to me. "Airplane food probably." He says. I nod and stand up when I know my food will stay down.

We get to Jeff's house and he sets me up in a room so I can relax.

Jeff sat at the edge of my bed. I know he was trying to think of words to say, but nothing came out. He just sat there starring at the wall.

"You know I'm fine." I say. Jeff jumps and turns to me. "Have you and Jonathan you know, um had it recently?" Jeff asks. "Had what?" I ask. "You know." Jeff says.

I chuckle and he waits for an answer. "Oh your serious. Um ya why?" I ask. "Alina you just threw up. That doesn't question you about you being pregnant?"

I stay quiet and think for awhile. Jeff waits for me to answer, but I stay quiet. "I'll tell Megan to buy a test." He says standing up and leaving.

This was the one thing I didn't want. I didn't want a baby. I didn't want one at all. I stand up and walk downstairs. Jonathan and Keilani were here.

"Hey Alina." Jonathan says. I smile at him and walk into the kitchen. "Is anything wrong?" Patrick says scaring me. I shake my head and grab some water. "Okay then." He says.

Patrick leans on the counter and I ignore him starring at me, because he knew probably. He knew that I was going to have a baby.
