The Stone Brothers

Ours

Theo

Fuck!

Why? Why me? Why Dove? She knew I didn't want kids! She knew it! She told me she was on fucking birth control, but here we are, having a fucking baby.

UGH!

I pick up a glass plate and throw it to the ground. "I HATE THIS!" I shout. Dove... I hurt her... why am I such an aggressive dude?! I throw another plate. She was crying... she was having a panic attack. And I did that to her.

I know Dove wouldn't lie to me or use me... maybe her birth control really did fail. But still! Either way, she still has our fucking baby in her stomach! Growing by the minute!

Fuck it. I need to get air.

I grab my keys and walk out of the house to get in my car. I begin to drive to the store so I can get groceries for the new house that Dove probably won't live with me in anymore.

I regret it. I really do. Yelling at her, scaring her, pinning her against the wall, and most importantly. giving her a damn panic attack when I'm the one to help her through them. The one who wants to stop them.

Whatever. I blast my music to block out my thoughts the whole drive there.

When I arrive, I park and grab a cart before walking in. "Daddy!!" I hear a little girl shout and I turn to see the about five year old girl running to this guy who I'm guessing is her dad.

The man picks her up and kisses her forehead. "Hey baby! Where's mommy at?" the man asks.

I sigh and continue walking. I love that. A little girl enjoying her dad while she can because later on he's probably gonna send her to a fucking discipline camp. I'd never do that to my son or daughter. Nor would Dove let me.

Wait what?

Why am I thinking that?

Fuck it. If I were honest, I loved the scene of that girl with her dad. I'd love to call Dove mommy for our baby's sake. As much as I hate this word since society turned it into nasty, I'd love for Dove to call me daddy.

I'd love for our baby's first word to be mommy or daddy.

Ugh Theo you're delirious.

I shut out my thoughts and start shopping. I pay for it all then leave almost immediately.

"I talked to her" mom says and I growl. "You fucked up Theo Arrow Stone. Her wrists are swollen because of you. She has to wear a long sleeved shirt to cover it" she says sternly.

I look off to the side. "I know. And I regret it. I wasn't thinking... I love Dove with all my heart and I'd never do it on purpose... trust me mom, I'm punishing myself for it" I say. "I'd be fine if her dad kicked my ass"

Mom shakes her head. "No. She begged and begged me to not say anything to you about it. She's trying to protect you from getting in trouble. She said please like a hundred times" she says.

I sigh. "She's pure. That's why" I pause. "Mom what do I do? I can't take care of myself! Let alone a baby. I'm stressing okay? I can't loose my Dove" I ask. She goes to speak, but I cut her off. "I- I asked her if she was keeping it"

She drops her jaw. "Theo. We use to tell each other everything, what happened to that? I'm mad at what you did to that poor girl. She was terrified to tell you, Theo. She's a week and three days pregnant now. How would you feel if you were in the position of her? Having to tell her boyfriend who hates babies that she's having one"
