In Darkness and In Light

I want answers

My face twitched as I looked over to Robyn as she held her stomach protectively looking upset.

"You... You're pregnant?" I asked. "You and him?"

Joe underneath me laughed "Oh man.. You have barked up the wrong tree. Get off me!"

I moved off him as he got up brushing himself off. "I'm just a friend. Asshat." He grunted before helping Robyn up and inside.

Pregnant? Fucking pregnant? With who's baby?!

I sat on the grass trying to work out and understand what has just happened. Seeing the pizza I picked it up with the flowers and went inside the cottage putting them on the table.

I watched as Joe gave Robyn a glass of water holding it as she shook. "Just take it easy.. I'll stay for as long as you need me." He spoke.

"I- I'm sorry. I didn't know, I shouldn't have pushed you anyway. But I'm sorry, I- do you need to go to a hospital? My car is out fro-"

"You've done enough." Joe bit making me glare at him.

"Robyn?" I whispered noticing her eyes avoiding mine.

"Joe could you leave us?" She asked looking up at him.

His finger trailed her jawline gently making my body stiffen. Who the hell was he to touch her like that?!

"Sure. I'll be repairing the fence down the bottom of the field. Ring me if you need me. For anything."

She nodded as he waited for her answer before looking over at me "Don't upset her. Or I'll bury you out here." He warned.

"Whatever." I grunted looking at Robyn.

Once he left I waited for her to begin when I heard a motor start, looking over my shoulder I saw Joe on a quad heading away from the cottage.

A loud smash sounded beside my head and glass showered the kitchen making me turn around to see the glass Robyn had was now everywhere.

"What the fu-"

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" She screamed angrily.

"Me?!"

"THROWING PUNCHES LIKE THAT AT SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW!
SHOVING ME LIKE THAT! WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Robyn calm down... You heard Joe. Please for the bab-"

"Now you care?! Now you care?! Fuck you and fuck the show! I'm not coming back so take your bullshit and go!"

"You're scared." I noted watching her movements and eyes carefully.

"Get out!" She snapped.

"No."

"I said get out!"

"I said no. You want me to go? Throw me out."

I watched the fire behind her eyes as she came at me shoving me hard but I grabbed her wrists and pulled her into me.

"I expected better from you. Pregnant with another man's baby. You slated Harmony but you're just like her.. Through and through." I snarled.

"Get. Out. Now." She warned.

"Who's the father?" I asked looking at her eyes.

"Don't know. Fucked him in an alley."
She spat.

Her eyes flickered slightly, she's lying.

"Liar."

"Fine. He had money and a fancy suit. I figured I deserved some luxury."

Yet again her eyes flickered.

"Liar. Again. How far long are you?"

"Fuck you Zak.."

I tightened my grip on her wrist as she tried to struggle out of it.

"I'll scream." She growled.

"Nobody could hear you if you did. Now I'll ask again."

"I cheated on you! With some guy, I don't know or care who he was. He made me feel alive, he satisfied me more than what you could..." She whispered giving an evil smile.

I waited and sure enough her right eyelid flickered "Liar.."

Her face came close to mine, her nose brushed against mine as she whispered again "I fucked one of your friends." She whispered. Her tongue flicked out and caught my lip making me shove her away.

She cackled before walking around the table sitting herself down.

"Who?" I demanded.

"Hmm.. You know? I can't remember which."

"STOP LYING! LOOK AT ME!" I bellowed making her eyes look up at me.

"I came here to find my Roo. To find my-"

"Roo is dead." She interrupted.

"No, she's there but your queen bitch has taken over against someone like me. Someone who's just drove all night to be with you, who hasn't slept properly for weeks. Who's bought flowers and pizza! A person who's travelled all this way incase a development firm were going to knock it down. I'm the person who came all this way to get that fucking stone with your name on it in case they took this all away." I said watching her bad ass bitch exterior falter. "I'm here because I love you so much. I've never came all this way for you to scream at me, throw a glass at me or throw me out. I've came because I need you Robyn. I've never wanted something so bad in all my life."

"I- it's too late." She stuttered.

"No it's not. Please just... Just let me in."

She shook her head defiantly before looking away from me. Robyn jumped when I slammed my fist down on the table in anger.

"WHO IS H-"

I stepped back as Robyn flew out from behind the table and raced out the room. I rushed behind her only to have the bathroom door slammed in my face.

"Stop running from this..." I spoke at the door when I heard her urging.

Morning sickness..

Sickness. Sickne-

I swung open the door to find her holding herself over the toilet looking remorseful and tired.

"I- Are you carrying my baby?" I questioned.

She shifted uncomfortably before getting up and flushing the toilet. Rinsing her mouth with mouthwash, Robyn left the bathroom and went into the bedroom laying down.

"Answer me." I demanded following behind her.

"Zak jus- I'm tired okay. I can't sp-"

"Answer the fucking question Robyn! Am I the father?!"

Her small weak and broken voice in the silent cottage as she replied "Yes."
