Exchange (Sequel)

°Chapter 4

Elia woke up with a huge headache. She knew she should have never drank so much last night, but that was literally her first time actually being out and being able to enjoy herself since she had Armani.

She guess she drank her problems away. Or ,at least, she tried to. It really didn't workout.

Elia got out of bed and went to the restroom. She used the bathroom and brushed her teeth.

When she came out of the bathroom in her room she was meet with what she didn't want to be meet with. Armin laying in her bed in his underwear.

She thought to herself. "Did I have sex with him last night?" That was her worst nightmare. She never wanted to be any one night stand. It happened once and she didn't want it to happen again.

"Armin getup, getup." She pleaded as she shook him to get him up and out her bed.

"Chill! What's the matter?"

"I had sex with you last night didn't I? I'm so stupid now you can brag about sleeping with me. You took advantage of me. I was vulnerable and drunk."

She started to beat at his chest.

"We didn't sleep together. I brought you home because you had one to many to drink. When we got here you tried to have sex with me. By the way since I guess you don't know you're very horny when your drunk."

"Oops I'm so sorry," she apologized. "Thanks for not taking advantage of me. How about I make your breakfast?"

"Sounds like a plan."

She walked to her son room and got him up. She changed his diaper and brought him with her in the kitchen.

She always looked at her child with dreamy eyes. She remember what her doctor words were when the had him.

"Miss your son did not come into the world as healthy as we thought he would have. I know any mother will hate to hear this, but he probably won't live past 8 months. Please enjoy the time you have with him."

That day instead of celebrating a new life that would grow to love for eternity. She cried and cried and cried nonstop.

Throughout her entire pregnancy she had scares. On multiple accusations it was like Armani wanted to give up on life before he even got to the world.

Elia could have lost him over 8 times. Night in and night out she spent her time in the hospital praying to god hoping he wouldn't take her child before she got to meet him.

The one day boom he was born and happy, but the news her Doctor gave her made her sad. He couldn't breathe on his own. He was premature and the odds were stacked against him.

Even when he was born they'd spend nights at the hospital because he couldn't breathe or his heart wasn't being a heart.

But, despite the odds stacked against him he proved the doctors and everyone else wrong. To Elia he was her miracle child.

"Eli-- oops and who is this little fella." He shook Armani's hand.

"This is my son Armani. He's one years old. Say hi to the nice man."

Armani waved at Armin.

"Well I'm Armin. Our names actually sound alike little man. Its nice meeting you though."

"Mani Tyla birthday is in two days. Do you want to go get her something?"

He shook his head yes.

"Okay let's go get you dressed Prince." She picked him up and carried him upstairs to his room.

"Um Armin you can just throw your clothes on and I'll lock the door behind us."

"Ohh-- I thought I was getting invited to go to the store with you guys. Now my feelings are hurt." He held his heart pretending it broke.

"Well, I guess you can come along. But you have to by Tyla a gift."

"Deal." He went to throe on his clothes and was ready to go.

Why not get her niece an extra gift from a complete stranger. She guess its normal.

They went grocery shopping after they picked Tyla up some toys from Toys R Us.

The entire time Elia thought about how she let her son meet someone she just meet. He seemed caring, but the cover isn't always based on the book. It was eating her alive. She would just have to see what his intent were.
