Chloe's POV
The doctor told me a paternity test in pregnancy was pretty easy and that it wouldn't cause any risk to the baby, I don't think that's strictly true but I'll go with it, apparently I was almost at the date you can do the tests but not quite which was really annoying
Thomas has been really good in the two weeks since the appointment, he's taken great care of me, it's nice that he's really trying this time, it feels really good to know if it's his then I have the support system I needed the first time, hopefully that'll make this second time better....if it's his
Today's the day, it's been just over two weeks and now I'm about 11 weeks pregnant, it's starting to show, not a lot but I'm usually quite skinny and there being any bump at all looks kinda obvious
Now that I can have a paternity test done Ryan and I are going down to the clinic today to get it done, then in a couple of days they'll give me a call and I can find out who my baby's father is
"You ready for this? I know you don't like this kind of stuff" Ryan asks me gently as we sit in the waiting room
"I think so, you're here with me, so I think I'll manage" I reply, making a joke, trying to sound as confident as I can
"You don't need to fake it for me" he tells me gently, am I really that transparent?
"Okay so I'm a little nervous but it'll be fine"
Soon we were called in and now it was time, Ryan sat with my and talked to me the whole time, it was pretty uncomfortable but it didn't hurt, I was definitely expecting worse
When it was finally over we were told it wouldn't take very long to get the results back and I'd get a call later that afternoon
He took me back to his place for a while because I told Thomas I wouldn't be back until about 4 and it was only 2
We hung out for a while, it was so awkward though, I was trying my best but I was so torn, it was hard to enjoy time with him knowing I might have to end it again really soon
"You wanna head back?" He offered
"Sorry" I replied awkwardly, I just couldn't pretend with him
"It's fine" he replied with a small but supportive smile
I got my stuff and we headed down to his car, we got in and off we went
"I'm so proud of you" he told me as he was driving me home, well, about a block away from home because we didn't want Thomas to see us together
"Thanks" I reply absentmindedly as my thoughts begin to wander between Ryan and Thomas
"It's okay to not know what you wanna do, I understand" is this guy literally reading my mind?
"I'm supposed to know what I want" I reply, angry with myself for letting this happen, and even more so for not knowing what I want
"Whatever happens I'll support you, I'm here if you want me, no matter what" god he's making this even harder, they both are, why can't one of them be less nice right now!
We finally arrive where he's dropping me off, I'm not sure what to do, I feel like I want to kiss him but I don't know if I should
He makes the choice for me by giving me a delicate kiss on the cheek
"Bye" I say hurriedly as I get out once he's pulled away, I shut the car door and then quickly head back to my building
I walk in and Thomas is nowhere to be found so I decide to look around for him, I hear him talking in the bedroom and I'm about to go in when I hear him on the phone
Talk about deja vu, and it wasn't much different either
"She's totally bought it, hook line and sinker, I can't stand doing all the coddling, you have literally no idea" I hear him saying and that's it, I've had enough, I'm confronting him, if he really does care then he'll explain and I'll forgive him and if not then I'm taking Archie and leaving
I storm in angrily and he jumps up in shock
"Chloe?! I thought you weren't gonna be back for like another hour" he exclaimed
"You're cheating on me!" I yell
"I gotta go" he tells the girl on the other end rather nonchalantly and then hangs up
Who the fuck does he think he is?
"Congratulations, took you a while" he sneers, that's the moment when my heart really broke, I wanted to believe so badly that there was some part of him that was still good and true and that actually loved me
"When?" I ask, trying to hold back the hurt I feel
"Oh sweetie, when do you think? When you got pregnant of course, you weren't gonna sleep with me and I wasn't just gonna wait and hope that after that baby finally came you'd be interested again because you and I both know you weren't" he speaks bitterly, he seems to hate me
"Did you ever love me?" I ask, just praying that there was once something
"Oh honey, I do love you, well, your body, when there's not a baby involved, you're hot, and you just go along with whatever I say, I love that, the whining, not so much" he replied, I'm not sure how to take that to be honest
"I can't believe you cheated on me!" I exclaim angrily, I don't even know what I'm angry about anymore, it's a very long and confusing list
"Says the girl who just had a paternity test" w....what....? D....did he just say that? HE CAN'T KNOW THAT!
---------------------------------------------
WELL THE ESCALATED QUICKLY! What do you hunk will happen? What will Thomas do? Are you ready to finally find out who the baby's father is? You know one day I'll write a book where the main female doesn't get pregnant....nah probably not, ARE YOU READY?! THREE MORE DAYS TILL THE END!! Xoxo
