Grayson

*present day*

"When are we gonna get there Grayson?" Nessa whines. I roll my eyes.

"We've only been driving for two minutes, it's gonna take time to get there," I say, chuckling at her impatience.

"How much time? I miss Annika already!" she says.

"Two hours," I smirk.

"What?!" she yells.

"I'm just kidding," I say, laughing at her reaction. "More like twenty minutes."

"Okay, thank God," she says, clutching her stomach. I glance down at her stomach for a second. She doesn't look too pregnant, so it happened recently; before he 'died'.

"Hey, muffin?"

"Yeah, Gray?"

"Are you hiding something from me?" I ask her, glancing at her for a second before my orbs focus back on the road.

"No...?" she says, confused. "Why are you asking me that?"

"Do you feel something...maybe something different?" I ask.

"Kind of," she says. "I didn't really wanna mention this but I haven't gotten my monthly norms yet."

"Did you and Kaden-"

"Once, yes," she says. I sigh.

"Nessa, you're pregnant," I say, pulling over on the shoulder of the road. She looked at me with a little innocent smile on her face, but it instantly turns into a frown after I said those three words.

I exit the car even though we're on the freeway, and sit on the side of the road. I didn't want to be in a compacted space when I talked to her about this. Nessa follows me, sitting beside me, "You knew, didn't you?"

"Yeah, it was planned," she says. "He wanted to grant Annika's birthday wish for a sibling."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask her, taking one of her hands.

"I was scared you weren't gonna accept it," she says.

"Are you fucking joking me?" I ask her. "Of course I'd accept it! It's inside of you, my beautiful Muffin!"

"Are you sure?" she asks, blushing at my reaction.

"Yes I'm sure," I say, smiling at her. "I was just kind of upset that you didn't tell me, that's all."

I had to lie to her. I was upset that he played her, and is still alive... but got her pregnant.

Maybe that was his plan; to get Nessa pregnant and then attempt to fake his death and leave her miserable. Maybe he thought that I wasn't gonna accept her after finding out that she was expecting someone else's baby.

But he was so wrong. No reason would make me hate Nessa, and that's a fact that cannot be proven wrong.

I promise.

I'm gonna go detective on this Kaden situation soon, but today is Nessa's day.

"Okay, c'mon let's go back in the car, people are looking at us weirdly," I say. She nods before attempting to stand up, but winces in pain, clutching her stomach. She starts to hyperventilate, "Nessa are you okay?"

The expression on her face shows that her pain is getting worse as she now whimpers in pain, "Nessa! What is going on?"

"Just...lay...me...down," she says between heavy breathes. I nod, picking her up bridal style and bringing her towards the car.
