Grayson

I stood staring at her at the door, Evangeline hadn't moved but still her eyes fixed on mine.
"Can I come in?"
"What do you mean we need to talk about it?" I snapped,
"Well this baby, you're the daddy," Evangeline physically fell backwards her hands on the wall to support her, rushing to her side to help her up she lashed out at me, snarling at me.
"You'd better come in," Evangeline stammered, slamming the door once she was inside.
"Who are you?" I asked my heart pounding, she couldn't believe this thing could she? Evangeline knew me better than this.
"Come on baby, don't pretend you don't know who I am, although with fake last name I'll admit you were a little hard to find," she purred coming towards me but I stepped back.
"I've never met you in my life!" I roared, Evangeline silent.
"honey is this your girlfriend? Whoops, maybe we should go somewhere a little more private?" She eyed Evangeline,
"You'll stay there," she finally spoke, "how many months pregnant are you?" Running her hands over her bump Alexa smiled,
"Almost nine months, he'll be here soon,"
"He?" Evangeline almost lost it entirely, sitting down on the stool by the bar, her knuckles white from clinging on, he.
"Yeah, our baby boy, how long have you been together?"
"Nine months? Nine fucking months, he wouldn't do that," I knew she wouldn't believe her! Yes Evangeline!
"I'm sorry sweetie but he did, I mean we only have to wait a few more weeks then we can do a DNA test and when you realise that he's your baby boy I'll expect you to step up considering you've missed most of my pregnancy."
"Get out," I turned to face Evangeline, "GET OUT!" She roared.

18 months ago

"Grayson!" I heard my mum call from the kitchen,
"Leave me alone please," I called sadly but I heard her footsteps outside my door,
"Gray, can you come downstairs please?" I wiped my face my the back of my bloody hand and smeared the blood across my cheeks.
"Jessie?" I saw the dark haired girl sat at the breakfast bar and guilt briefly licked my insides, my girlfriend.
"I'm just going to leave you alone for a minute," my said before shutting the door and walking into the living room.

Suzie

'Do you know about Jessie?' I rapped out a text to Evangeline, I didn't know whether she'd told him or not. I'd walked in to Grayson upstairs asleep in his bed. His knuckles bloody and his eyes and face red and swollen from crying.
'Yes' oh god, I didn't know exactly what to think, the poor girl that my son impregnated that wasn't his girlfriend or his girlfriend sat in my kitchen unaware he cheated on her. But I know my son, I know he's been in love with Eve for as long as I could remember.
"You're what?!" He roared from the kitchen, she told him. A few more minutes then I'd go in and see if I could help.

Grayson

My heart started to pound in my chest,
"I'm pregnant Grayson, I'm so sorry," I started to shake my head
"You're what?!" She cried but I didn't comfort her, I couldn't, "how far?"
"About four weeks," I shook my head confused,
"Jessie we haven't slept together in four months,"
"Grayson we literally had sex at the party last month," my jaw dropped as I realised what was happening,
"I wasn't at the party last month. Cas was,"

Evangeline

I hadn't moved, I wasn't sure I could move if I wanted to. How dare she come into my home and announce that to me? Was this some wicked game? After slamming the door behind her Grayson walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Get off me,"
"Evangeline, please. You can't believe her!" He looked shocked but not more shocked than I was.
"A few weeks and she's going to get a DNA test done, why would she offer up a DNA test if she wasn't sure? Surely she'll know that if it came back you weren't the father she'd be dead?"
"Evangeline please," He begged, kneeling in front of me. But I couldn't look at him, I didn't want to believe her but she seemed so sure, sure enough to offer to test the baby, sure enough to come into my home and track him down. The room was spinning.
"You know almost Nine months ago we lost our boys?"
"Of course I know and the next baby I have will be yours I promise you, you're my Evangeline,"
"Your next after this one?" I spat, my words dripping with poison.
"No! That baby isn't mine! I don't even know that woman!" He pleaded and he was right, he looked like he had no idea who she was. But still something didn't sit right, I was terrified.
"Tell why she would say it's yours?!" Spinning more, my breathing was becoming faster,
"I don't know, some sick joke?"
"Get out, no I'm going,"
"Evangeline no!" He bellowed as I scooped up my purse and opened the door, turning one last time to see tears streaking his cheeks, "Cas!" He screamed and I span around to face him. "It must have been Castael," that almost made sense, ramming his phone from his pocket to his ear,
"Mum, where's Cas?!" He yelled,
"Do not shout at me Grayson, what do you mean where's Castael?"
"Mum please, is he here? Is he in Cali?" I waited with baited breath,
"He's here, why?"
"Has been away? Has he been on holiday since... since I came here?"
"No honey, what's going on?" He slammed the phone down and I left closing the door behind me.

Grayson

10 hours later

I'd sat on the sofa not quite knowing what to do. I'd have to wait a whole month to prove this baby wasn't mine, I'd never slept with this woman, I'd never even seen her before! Quietly the lock clicked on the door and I jumped to my feet.
"Evangeline," the words escaped from my mouth, I didn't know what I could say or do.
"I've been shopping,"
"The whole day?"
"No, not that you can really say anything at the moment," she spat. She hated me, what the fuck do I do now? "I'm going to bed,"
"I'll come with you,"
"Don't bother."
"Evangeline please,"
"During the time we lost the boys Gray! Our boys died and according to this woman you were out fucking and impregnating another woman! Have you no respect for me?" She sobbed, hard, heavy cries.
"Can they DNA test in the womb?" I replied,
"I don't know! I haven't ever needed one!" She screamed turning to the bedroom.

Evangeline

I walked directly into the en suite and placed the bag down on the counter, pulling out the small box I placed my hand over my stomach.
"Please god, not now"
