How Could A Heart Like Yours Love A Heart Like Mine

Oh Yasmine

7 months later.

Everyone could see by now that I was pregnant. I looked like I was going to explode but I was still 2 months away. I still worked at the garrison. My mother was sending me checks all the time so I didn't need the money but I liked being busy. I was still working but my shift was almost over. Thomas came to the Garrison only for business. He always disappeared in the office in the back. When he came out he would order something to drink but he always asked Freddy. At first I would notice he was watching me but now he didn't gave me one look. He couldn't bare to look at me while I was pregnant. Oh If he only knew. My aunt and me told Freddy the baby was Nicolas's. He of course told everyone else. 

I was washing the last glasses when Tommy and Arthur stepped out of the office. They both sat at a table across the bar and asked Freddy for a drink. They were accompanied by a man. I knew his name was Solomon, he's their new business partner. Freddy told me a few weeks ago he was the father of Lizzy. I have only seen Lizzy once. She passed the Garrison  with Polly and Ada by her side. Back then my shift had just ended and I was making my way home when they passed me. They were all dressed in expensive clothes, I always recognise Chanel. All three gave me a dirty look. Well I couldn't blame them, a pregnant woman working in a bar at night. It's not a pretty sight. I snapped out of my thoughts. 

"Grace you're done for today. Go home!" Freddy said nicely.

"Alright, thanks Fr-" I was cut of my the doors that flew open. 

"WHERE IS SHE." My heart stopped. It was Yasmine. I wanted to hide behind the bar but it was already too late. 

"Oh hi Yasmine." I tried to sound calm. 

"Let me see it. Come from behind that bar. NOW!" She screamed. In the corner of my eye I saw Thomas jumping up. He carefully looked at the scene. I slowly stepped towards her. 

"Oh my god, YOU ARE A WHORE!" She screamed. She slept me across my face. I had to make her believe my lie. Thomas was in the room.

"No please, it's from Nicolas I promise!" I tried to calm her down but I was freaking out myself. 

"You honestly think I believe that? Everyone in London knows about the stupid believes you and your family have. I asked him myself, IT IS NOT HIS YOU WHORE." She screamed in my face. Thomas stepped up to us. 

"What is this supposed to mean Grace?" Thomas asked while he grabbed my arm.

"I.. You.." I couldn't get out of my words. Everything was starting to get blurry until I felt water in my pants. 

"Oh no, It's happening!" I screamed. I fell into Thomas's arms.

"We need to get you to a hospital! Someone call a fucking ambulance!" Thomas screamed.

"No please, it's too soon." I cried out. Thomas held my hand the whole time. When the ambulance finally reached he Garrison, aunt Emma had already joined me. I saw her whispering something to Thomas and his eyes went straight back to mine. His facial expression changed. But he didn't let go of my hand. He went with me to the hospital but eventually he had to let go. 

I have a beautiful little boy and girl now. The delivery went perfect. Thomas took me to the best hospital and of course he could pay for the best doctors. My boy and girl were laying in their small beds next to me when I heard the door open. 

"I guess, I have some explaining to do.."
