AVA's Little Secret

CHAPTER 13

"You pregnant?" he asked again and this time directly to Ava. Which she nodded.

"When were you gonna tell me?, have you been mocking all this while. "

"Ashton..."

"Don't." he lifted his hand to stop her and without saying another word he turned around and left. Leaving them stunned.

*********

All through the day Ava didn't see Ashton, it's like he has gone into hiding. She knows he is very angry at her for keeping her pregnancy a secret.

It's not like she wanted to keep it a secret, she knew he will definitely find out, besides she didn't know she was supposed to announce that she was pregnant to everyone she meets.

She was still busy in the kitchen preparing things for lunch when she heard him behind her.

"So how long?" he asked his voice calm but laced with many emotions.

Ava turned around to face him but didn't answer because she didn't understand what he was asking.

"How far along are you?" he asked again.

"13 weeks." Ava replied.

"And the dad, are you guys still together?" he asked again.

Ava shook her head, she didnt want to say it with her mouth, because she was never together Daniel.

"Are you sti... Are you still in love with him?"

Ava nodded. Ashton felt his chest tightened, he was frustrated. He instantly sweeped his fingers through his hair, pulling it roughly. He was frustrated.

"That means you intend to go back to him." he breathed out.

"No... It's complicated."

"I will understand if you explain it to me." he said taking a long stride towards her.

Ava was quiet not saying anything, she didn't know how to tell Ashton that she was pregnant with her brother's child. And that she actually ran away from home.

"Ava." Ashton called her, his voice was laced with frustration.

"Please say something... Please."

"I'm carrying my brother's child."

The look on Ashton's face disappeared and his face was filled with shock. And Ava became scared. She didn't want him to look at her like whore, loses girl,  someone who committed incense.

"It's not what you are thinking... Please, let me explain."

"I was adopted when I was six years old. I fell in love with Danny who loves me so much, but just as a sister. He was actually drunk that night, but he didn't force me, I gave myself to him. But then I found out that I was pregnant." she explained.

"Did he deny you?, did he abandon you all alone?"

"No he didn't. Actually he doesn't even know about the baby...because I didn't tell him." she almost whispered the last sentence.

"Why?"

"Because he didn't remember what happened that night. How I'm i supposed to tell him that I'm pregnant, when he doesn't even remember anything."

"So... Is it what I'm thinking, that you did?"

"I don't know what you are thinking, but I left home. And I don't intend to go back. I can't face my parents."

"I'm so sorry." he said pulling Ava closer to his body and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry for not telling you, but please don't hate me." she cried in his arms.
