Lovesick: Part 2

Aftermath

(Dean P.O.V)

We sat there at the table in silence. I could feel Nikki sitting there, looking at me, waiting to hear what I had to say. I didn't dare to look back at her though. I couldn't look into her eyes, I
couldn't even think of any words to say. Every time I attempted to speak, I only ended up choking on my words. After Nikki telling me she was pregnant, so many thoughts ran through my mind. I knew I was the last person she slept with, I also knew that I hadn't wore a condom that night, and pulling out wasn't my strong suit. So there's no denying that the kid is mine. If it wasn't, she wouldn't be here telling me that she was pregant.
"Dean, we can't just sit here in silence all day. Please say something or I'm going to have to consider option B.." Nikki said to me. "Option B? What do you mean by option B?" I asked. I had no idea what she was talking about, but I have a feeling that I wasn't going to like 'option B' very well. She let out a sigh and looked at down. "Option B would have to he...abortion." My eyes widened as she said the words. "NO!" I shouted loudly at her and stood up. "You are not aborting my kid, Nicole. That's what you're not going to do!" "Stop yelling at me!" She shouted back to me. "It's my body, and I'll do whatever I want to do, Dean!" She said once again. "I know it's your body, but inside of your body is my kid and I refuse to let you abort it!" I said. "I'm not bringing a child into this world, like this. If I have children someday, they are going to have their father in their lives." "What?!" I shouted at her again. She was really pissing me off and I hated that she thought like this. "What makes you think that I won't be in my own kid's life, Nicole?" I asked her. "You and I aren't together, Dean. I want my kids to have both of their parents in their lives, as one. I can't raise a baby like this." She spoke softly. I understood what she meant by that but I couldn't change it. I let out a sigh. "Look, I understand what you mean but if not for my sake, then please for the baby's own sake, don't abort it. We made that baby together. It didn't ask to be here, so we are not going to kill an innocent life. We'll make it work, okay? I'm going to be in my child's life no matter who my significant other is." I said to her as sincerely as possible. I meant every word and I'll be damned if I let anyone take my kid away from me. "Okay, fine. You better be in this baby's life from here on out and I mean it. I don't want them to feel abandoned by their Dad." "And they won't feel that way at all, Nicole." I said as I walked over and grabbed a few more breakfast foods. "Where are you going?" She turned around and asked me as she watched me get food and pay for it. "I'm going back upstairs, Nicole. Don't worry, I'll be there for my kid always, but that doesn't mean I'll just abandon my girl." I said to her as I walked towards the door. "See you around." I said as I walked out and onto the elevators. I'm glad I left unexpectedly like that. I had to get out of that café sooner rather than later.
I finally made it back to our hotel room, where I found Paige still soundly asleep in bed. I wanted to get my mind off of things that just happened and I knew Paigey could do that, so I decided to wake her up, even though I knew she'd probably get mad at me. I smiled as I flopped on top of her and she immediately woke up. "DUDE! WHAT THE F---" She shouted and I couldn't help but laugh at her. She was angry but in a sort of funny way. "DAMN BABE!" She shouted again and hit the back of my head. "OUCH!" I said as I reached my hand up and rubbed the back of my head. "What was that for?!" "Bish, you know what that was for. Why are you laying on me?" "Oh I'm laying on you? Oops, I thought you were the bed, babe." I said smiling. "Bullshit!" She said and I laughed. 'It's true, I really did! You were just so comfortable, so I laid here thinking you were the bed." I said as I smiled at her. Just by seeing the look on her face, she knew I was lying. "I should kick your ass. You don't disturb me when I'm asleep, shit face." She said. "Oh shut up and give me a kiss, babe. You love me." I said as I leaned over to her and kissed her lips multiple times, finally making her laugh. "Ugh! Yesss...I love...you...very much!" She said in between our kisses. "That's what I thought." "Where's my coffee?!" She said. "Oh damn, I'm sorry, babe. I forgot your coffee. I don't know what I was thinking about." "You must have a lot on your mind to have forgotten the most important thing." She said and hit me with a pillow. I laughed softly while thinking to myself. She really has no idea what was going on in my head right now. So many things were running through my mind, I couldn't keep up with anything. My whole life was about to change in the blink of an eye and Paige literally had no idea what was going on right now. It's all fun and games for now, but as the days pass by, things were about to be more serious. And sooner or later, I'm going to have to tell her.
