Thief (n.g.)

Chapter 73

Babes POV

It's the middle of the day, and I don't even care that I'm taking a shower. It is the only place I could think I could come and have no interruptions. Or so I thought.

I'm screwed, I'm so totally screwed. Nash is definitely going to leave me after this. If not that, he's going to tell me I have to have abortion. That's not even an option for me, and is that even possible at this point?

"Babe." I hear Nash say in a disappointed tone.

"Yes, Nash?" I say in a cowardly voice.

He sighs. "Why do you sound scared?"

"Because I am."

"Scared of what?"

"What you'll say..."

I hear him sigh once more, then the curtain moves. Nash gets in the shower fully clothed, I don't even bother screaming, I'm not even sure if it bothers me.

He wraps his arms around me.

"I'm not leaving you, if that's what you think."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"But I'm still pissed at you."

"Okay."

Can I blame him? I mean yeah, I have my reasons for not telling him, but I was making a decision that is for us both.

"Skylynn here?" I ask.

"Yeah." He mumbles. "You'll probably like her, she talks a lot."

I faintly smile.

"She's loving the attention was she's getting. But I don't think she likes me."

"Why not?"

"Because I didn't give her a lot of attention. But I can tell she fell in love with Cam and the girls. Cam knows exactly what he's doing, and she thinks the girls are so pretty."

"I want to see her."

"Okay."

I hate this. He almost has no emotion, even when he's being funny.

Finally I go downstairs and I enter the kitchen. Hayes, Cam, and who obviously is Skylynn are all only floor drawing and coloring one a huge piece of paper.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

They all look up and Skylynn gasp. She crawls over the paper to Hayes and whispers in his ear. When she is done, he smiles and nods.

"Yes, she is." He tells her.

"Hi." She says with an adorable smile.

"Hi." I smile back.

Her face starts to turn a light pinkish color, like she's embarrassed or excited, but the smile never leaves her face and her eyes never leave me. She stands up and hugs me. She's only tall enough to hug around my waist. So I bend and give her, somewhat a hug.

"Babe, come outside." Nash tells me, walking out the back door.

I follow behind him.

"Maybe we should break up."  I suggest.

"No! Don't say that!" He demands.

"Nash, you and I want different things-"

"But we both want to be together, right?" He interrupts.

I sigh. "I wish I just would have never gotten pregnant."
