Secret Mistake

28.

GIA POV

Its literally been a week since I've been staying with Bria. Never mind Delano has been blowing up my phone. I refuse to even talk to him.

Bria walked in the room "How are you feeling?" She took a seat on the bed. I was snuggled into the bed just depressed.

"No better than yesterday. If that answers your question" I said.

"I have to say I didn't see this coming. I didn't see his ex coming out of nowhere claiming she's pregnant" Bria said.

"Who cares anymore. It just hurts he kept it from me. Instead of just talking to me about it. If he had done that maybe I would still be living with him".

"Are you going back to him? Or is it over?" She asked.

Shrugging my shoulders "I don't know. And there's nothing to be over with. We were never together".

"You mean you both never made it official... so let me rephrase my question. So are you moving in back with him?" She looked at me.

"I don't think so. You know how I am. It takes that one time for you to hurt me and then it's over". Bria frowned and cuddled next to me. "This sucks. I actually thought you and Delano would have made this. But my thing is... how his ex just came out of nowhere saying she's pregnant?".

"I honestly don't know nor care. I'm only worried about this baby inside of me and that's it". It was the truth. Might as well put my big girl panties on.

Later on in the day I was still in the house. I didn't feel like going outside or to work. I didn't want to see Delano's face. My laundry has to be done so I traveled myself down to the basement to put in my laundry. These steps were always tricky. Taking my time I slowly made it down to the laundry room.

After I was done I did the same thing going up. Once I got upstairs I tripped going over the last step causing me to fall toward. I ended up hitting the tile floor pretty hard. I couldn't move or get up.

DELANO POV

I haven't heard from Gia in the last week. Missing her like crazy. Sitting here just wondering how I could get her back but it won't be easy. Jessica has been around just to inform how her pregnancy is going. She tried to come onto me but I don't want her.

My phone rang and I didn't recognize the number. "Hello?".

"Delano it's me Bria. Listen something happened to Gia and she's in the hospital!". I shot up "what happened and I'll meet you there!". Hanging up my phone I grabbed my car keys and raced out of there.

So many crazy thoughts were running through my head. I hope she's okay. I hope the baby is okay. Reaching the hospital I asked the front desk for Gia room. When I walked in I seen her and Bria. Bria smiled "I'll leave you two alone". She walked out and I stared at Gia. She had the covers up to their chest. Her hair was in a messy bun but she glowed.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

She didn't look at me "the baby umm... I lost it". I sat down in shock "what happened?".

"I tripped up the stairs causing me to fall and I hit the floor pretty hard. Even twisting my ankle in the process" she lifted up the covers a little to show her bandages ankle.

Sitting there with my hands on my face. Our baby is no longer living.

"I'm sorry... I guess this was a blessing in disguise. Now you can be a better father to your exes baby" she said.

"Listen I want to be there for you. To recover from this loss". She didn't look at me. "I'll be fine. This wouldn't be the first traumatic thing I've been through".

"I don't know what to say" my mind was clouded with thoughts.

"I'm getting tired. So if you can leave" she said. I nodded and walked out. I even passed Bria without one word.

GIA POV

Crying is all I could do. I hated myself for lying to him. But it was the only thing I could think of. Bria walked in "did you talk to him?".

I nodded "I told him I loss the baby". Bria's eyes shot wide open "you did what? Why?".

"Because in the end... he'll leave me anyway. I'm saving myself the pain of that".

"Gia do you hear yourself? You just told the man you miscarried!. And you didn't". The doctor walked in smiling "well everything looks good and your baby boy is well too. Just keep off that ankle for six weeks and you'll be good to go".

"Baby boy?" Bria and I said in unison.

"Oh wait? Did you not want to know? I'm sorry but yes a boy". That made me ball my eyes out. I'm having a boy. And his father thinks he's dead.

"Bria I'll be out of your house in a month and I'll get my own place. I don't want to be a burden on you or your family".

"Bitch say what? You're having my god son you staying with me until you're ready to go on your own". I smiled and she hugged me. "I'll always have your back".

"Thank you! But please do not tell Delano about any of this. I rather him not know. He'll be better off with his ex". Bria didn't agree she just continued to hug me.
