13/31 (Kinda On Hold)

XXX: Misery Business

A/N: Y'all have waited long enough for this. Fucked alternative ending...coming soon.

"Where's mom?" I ask as my father opens the door.

"In the bedroom. She's been having some...trouble getting out of bed. What the fuck are you doing here? Don't you have a pregnant fiancee to be taking care of?"

"I'm here to visit my mother, I know she's not doing well. I'm not completely fucking clueless and I'm not Scarlett's baby sitter either."

He cocks an eyebrow at me, but steps away from the doorway, letting me in. "Trouble in paradise?"

"More like trouble in the fifth circle."

"What did you do this time Motionless?" My brother's voice calls out, as Balz steps into view.

"Fuck out of this, it has nothing to do with you."

He chuckles, "actually it does, your sweet little baby mama is currently crying on my girlfriend's shoulder. While I will say it took you less time than I anticipated to fuck things up, I it's guess better late than never."

"It is what she did, not what I did. Now if you will be so kind as to excuse me, I'm going to go see my sick and wilting mother as I came here to do." I push past Balz and walk down the hall to my parent's room. Knocking on the door I hear my mother's frail voice acknowledging my presence.

I push the door open and she her attempting to sit up, I'm quickly by her side and fixing the pillow behind her back allowing her to be more comfortable.

"Thank you. I'd do it myself, but...anyways. How are you Chris?"

"Fine, thanks. I'm here to see you mother, don't worry about my well-being."

"I don't care what state I may be in, I will always care about you and your well-being. How is Scarlett and the babies?"

"Lords below, why does everyone ask me that? Ask her, she can speak for herself."

"Everyone asks you because you're her fiancee and the father of those babies, as well as the fact that she isn't here at the moment to speak for herself. Though judging by your tone, you aren't complaining about her absence." She snaps.

"Why would I be complaining? It's been quiet and peaceful since her leaving."

"And why did she leave? She's eight months pregnant and on bed rest last I heard, as well as you refusing to so much as leave her alone for a single moment. Do tell Christopher."

"She ran to another man, okay? Rather than telling me her troubles, she ran to another man and told him and it caused a fight."

She laughs, "a fight? Since when has something a trivial as a fight sent Scarlett to another man? Why would she ever desert you for another man? Who is this man that is so great that she was willing to throw away all she had left for?"

"Dave Navarro."

My mother's hand comes colliding with the side of my head, even in her weak state, causing me to exclaim. "Christopher Thomas Motionless, you fucking idiot."

"What the fuck was that for?" I ask, still holding the side of my head.

"For your blatant stupidity. I don't care who the man is, you and I both know that Scarlett would never do such a thing, as well as Dave would never break up the relationship between a Lord and a Lady. He fights to help them stay together. While your father may have raised you a majority of the time, I raised you well enough to not jump to stupid assumptions. And this by far, is the stupidest. So until that sweet girl is back in your arms, I don't want to see your face."
