The Baby Plan

Chapter 6

I couldn't believe it, eight years thinking Erick's father was Cameron and I'd never thought to question it. All I was thinking now was how the hell did I not notice? I never realized I was that wasted.

I walked inside the club in a daze. I went directly to Megan and Zara and hauled them aside.

"I need to go, you two stay here and enjoy the rest of the night. I'll take a taxi."

"Is something wrong Lisa? Is it Erick?" Zara questions with apprehension.

"It's not some kind of emergency, Zara, just enjoy tonight and I'll tell you guys tomorrow."

"We'll come with you, I was getting tired anyway." I see her and Megan eye each other.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to cut your fun short because of me." I really hope I haven't.

"Nonsense! Something obviously happened and you need us." She insists. Moments like this is why I adore her so much.

"Okay, will you ride with us?" I ask Zara.

"Yes."

"Alright, I'll tell you both in the car."

As Zara and I wait for Megan, I try to go over that night, but my memory is hazy. There wasn't any indication of which twin I'd slept with. I should have given it more thought, I was such a stupid girl.

When we get in the car I turn towards them and speak.

"I slept with the wrong brother." I whisper.

Silence, then.

"What do you mean?"

"Cameron isn't Erick's father, Daniel is."

A stunned silence follows my revelation. I don't think they ever saw that coming, but I didn't either.

Zara recovers first.

"How long have you known?"

"Ten minutes longer than you guys." Another silence.

"Dafuq!" well Megan is out of it.

"What the actual fuck! How did you not know that?"

" I didn't, I swear, I would have never imagined it until just now when I talked to Daniel and he propositioned me. When I told him never he said we've already slept together, twice."

"Well, you must have some good p-"

"Megan!"

She shrugs.

"What? For a guy who didn't sleep with the same girl more than once, he slept with Lisa twice and wanted at it a third time, he sure made an exception of her."

"Maybe he ran out of girls and was circling them." I suggest.

"Maybe that's it." Megan agrees.

"Really Lisa, that's your best guess? And why the hell are we talking about this."

"You're right we went off track." I shake my head.

"You have to tell him before he leaves to continue his tour." Zara, always the voice of reason. I don't answer and another silence follows. I forgot he was famous.

This is too real right now. Before long we reach Zara and Christina's.

"We'll talk tomorrow okay."

Christina has come outside to wait for her.

"Yes, I need to think, see you tomorrow." she squeezes my hand.

"Bye."

"Bye Christina."

"Bye girls, thanks for bringing her back to me in one piece."

"It was hard but we managed it." Megan teases.

We leave while Christina and Zara wave goodbye.

"So what are we going to do?"

"We?" I look at her.

"Yes we, we're your family, and this is a family affair."

I smile faintly at her staement. They are my family as I haven't seen my mother or talked to her in three years since she allegedly turned her life around and wanted to meet her grandson. It didn't go well and threats and accusations were made, she hasn't been welcome in my life ever since.

"Let me sleep this off before I start making decisions." I tell her, although I know I'll agonize over it for the rest of the night.

When we go up we find Alex asleep on the couch and I gently wake him. I still feel a little guilty for ruining his party night.

"Hey Alex, you can stan on the couch till tomorrow if you want."

"You don't mind?"

"No, you did me a favor when you took care of my son tonight, we don't mind you crash here for a night. I wouldn't have you driving home half asleep and cause an accident."

"It was my pleasure, your son is great company." He gives me a tired smile. Such a nice smile.

"He is."

"I'll bring you a pillow and a blanket then."

"Okay thanks."

I bring him the pillow and blanket and then go lay down beside my son.

Next day I'm tired out of my mind because I slept only three hours and only after four, like I predicted. Alex is also gone and Megan informs me he left around 5:30 as he had to get to work.

Zara comes to the apartment around 8:00 am and we leave for the café across the street. Erick is still asleep so I leave him a note telling him where we are and that I left him breakfast prepared in the fridge. He can call me through his tablet if he needs anything. He won't wake up for another two hours and by that time we'll be back, but I feel less anxious that way.

As we sit down Zara doesn't waste time in bringing the issue up.

"So Lisa, when are you gonna tell Daniel he has son?"

"Definitely after the wedding, everything needs to go smoothly, and I will endanger that only if it's life and death."

Zara raises an eyebrow, she knows I'm only buying time.

"I agree with her Zara, we want you and Christina to have the wedding ever, and battling a baby daddy is not going to ensure that."

Zara looks ready to object.

"Besides, your wedding is next Saturday, a week won't change anything."

"Fine, I'm going to get off your back, but please do it after the wedding, your son deserves it."

I know he does but I'm still cautious.

"I'm not going to tell Erick until I'm certain Daniel is interested in getting to know his son."

"Of course, the first priority is Erick."

"We agree then, Daniel will find out the day after you get hitched." Megan nods and smiles at Zara.

"To the love of my life." Zara smiles back.

My family is the best.

Sorry this chapter was a bit of a filler. Next chapter's the wedding, and believe me drama's coming.
