Surviving The Mafia

Part 41

Part 41

Shock settled like a heavy weight in my stomach as Severon's words registered in my brain. Was he telling the truth, or was his degree fake? This could not be true. No, no, I could not be what he said I was.

But there was no amusement swirling in those golden eyes, nothing that would indicate that Severon was joking. He was telling the truth, there was no other possibility. But how? How could this be possible?

I was pregnant.

Those three words had another tidal wave of suprise washing over me, drowning me in its paralytic depths. I was pregnant. I had a baby inside of me. A cute, innocent little baby. Not a bug, but a real human being.

Fuck my spicy noodles!

"It's your fault!" I threw at him, not caring if he got offended. It was Severon's fault; he was the one who did all this. Before him, no one ever dared to come close to me. But Severon didn't care. He barged into my life and got me pregnant. It was all his fault.

"What?" Severon looked as if he didn't understand what I just said.

"I said, it's your fault," I repeated, irritated.

"What is my fault?" God, how could he ask such a dumb question?

"This." I pointed at my flat stomach which would not be so flat after some time. "It's your fault that I'm pregnant. You! Nobody else is responsible. Only you, Severon!" I accused him.

Severon chuckled, victory gleaming in his eyes. He looked as if he'd conquered something impossible, something no other man could. The man was as deranged as he was beautiful. Damn it, why did I love him so much?!

"Yes dragonfly, it is my fault. All mine. You have every right to blame me," he replied. I was glad to know he agreed with me.

"Yes it is. I mean, are you out of your already crazy mind?! A baby?! Severon, don't you know me already, I'm crazy. I can't...I can't handle a baby. I could barely handle myself after my parents died and now you want me to take care of an innocent baby? I can't do that!" I nearly shouted. He should've known better than to do what he did.

"Hey." Severon cupped my face, leaning closer towards me. "You are not crazy. You are a beautiful woman, and I know you will be a great mother," he stated.

"I am crazy," I argued. "You know that. You know what the world thinks about me, I—I can't be a mom. I'm not qualified for it."

"Fuck the world, dandelion. Believe me when I say that you are smart and beautiful. And as for your qualification, you don't need a degree to be a mother. You have a big heart and you care for other people, that is all you need to be a great mother; and dragonfly, I know you will be the best mother there is," Severon responded. Seeing the truth shimmering in his gaze, I couldn't help but believe him.

"I can't fuck the world, Severon. It's not possible," I muttered.

"Why not, my rainbow girl?"

"Because that will be a lot of fucking. I will get tired." I shrugged.

Severon burst laughing before pulling me in his arms. "Do not worry, my dragonfly, I'll take care of you and the baby."

"You can't take care of my baby, it's inside me, not you," I said.

"It's our baby, dandelion. And I can and will take care of him or her." The conviction and promise in his words calmed my heart, and suddenly I was not afraid of the baby anymore.

"Her. I want a girl." I told him.

"What if it's a boy?" Severon questioned.

"I don't care if it's a boy. But I personally want a girl first. Boys are boring. If the baby is a girl, then I'll buy colorful clothes for her, and lots of toys," I answered.
