A Little Piece of Heaven

Way Too Close

.:Nikki's POV:.

I couldn't talk... I couldn't even think clearly...

He wanted... to keep this, our baby, a secret now? He didn't want the guys knowing it was his baby now?! When before, he fought with me over letting everyone know he was the father of this child!

"Why the fuck the sudden change of mind?" I asked, raising my voice slightly.

Brian pinched the bridge of his nose. "Nicole, don't raise your voice at me. Let's talk about this calmly. Please."

I scoffed. "Calmly?! How can I be calm when my child's father, who wanted to tell everyone he was going to be a father, is suddenly changing his mind and asking me not to tell everyone I'm pregnant. News flash for you, they're going to find out I'm pregnant. And when I have our daughter, they're going to see she has your features!"

"Well then move away!" He yelled, his eyes black.

My eyes widened as they filled with tears, that soon escaped and fell down my face. Brian's angry eyes softened and frowned.

"Oh shit..." He whispered, coming towards me with open arms. "Baby, I'm sorry. I don't know where that came from, I swear."

I shook my head as I stepped away from him, sniffing. "Stay away from me. Just go away. I don't want to see you ever. You don't want anything to do with our daughter? Fine. I have no problem being a single mother."

I pushed by him and out the front door, slamming it behind me as I cried. Ignoring Brian yelling my name behind me, I walked much faster as I dialed Diana's number.

"Hey, girlie. What's going on?" She answered.

"Diana, please. Come and get me. I need you right now." I cried to her.

"Where are you? I'm on my way." She ordered.

I didn't wait long for Diana to come pick me up at the park near Brian's house, and now we were alone at her and Matt's house. Her and Matt were back together and back to getting ready for their wedding. He had called her earlier apologizing and begging for her to take him back, and of course she did without hesitation.

"Tell me, what has you so upset?" Diana asked, running her fingers through my hair as I laid my head in her lap.

I sniffed. "Brian and I had a fight."

"About what?" She asked softly.

I sat up, looking at her. "Can I tell you a deep secret and that you won't tell anyone? You can't even tell Matt."

She nodded. "Of course. Your secret is safe with me."

I took a deep breath. "You must keep this between us." She nodded again, I twiddled my fingers. "I'm pregnant. And it's Brian's baby."

Diana's eyes were wide, her mouth hanging open. My heart raced as the seconds ticked by.

"Say something... Please..." I begged.

"So... That's why Brian flipped when he came back with our food?" She asked.

I nodded. "He thought I told you I was pregnant."

"And that's what happened between you two in Vegas?" She asked, and I nodded. "So what did he do to make you upset now? Does he not want the baby now?"

I bit my lip. "Sort of? He said that we shouldn't tell the guys and that if they find out, they can't know he's the father. When yesterday he was yelling at me to tell them he was the father. But that's not all, when I yelled at him that the guys will find out I'm pregnant and will see his features in the baby... He said... He told me to move away..." Tears fell down my face once again.

"Oh, sweetie." Diana hugged me tightly as I sobbed. "Don't you listen to that asshole."

"But... I'm alone now... I'm having a baby and the father doesn't want to be known..." I cried.

Diana rubbed my back. "You're not alone in this, I promise. You'll always have me and the guys. You don't need Brian. You only needed him for one thing and you got it." She rubbed my stomach. "This baby will have so much love, he or she won't need their father. Auntie Diana will spoil their little heart out."

I laughed at that, wiping at my nose. "Thanks, Diana. You're the best."

Diana shrugged. "That I know." She giggled. "Have any ideas on what the sex will be?"

I smiled. "I think I'm having a girl. I want her to be a girl."

"You should name her Diana. It's a beautiful name." She laughed.

I laughed. "Diana Rapunzel Haner. Yeah, beautiful."

"Rapunzel?" She lifted an eyebrow.

I shrugged. "An insider between Brian and I."

"Oh." She nodded slowly.

"Diana, can you come with me to my ultrasound tomorrow? I was going to ask Bri but he wants me to move away." I rolled my eyes.

She smiled. "Of course I'll come."

"And where are you lovely ladies going?" Matt smiled, walking into the room.

"Baby!" Diana greeted happily, kissing him.

I looked away, my heart breaking.

"Oh, just shopping out in Beverly Hills tomorrow." Diana shrugged, sitting beside me.

He nodded. "Sounds awesome. Be safe out there. Now, go and get your skinny asses dressed. We're leaving for the dinner soon."

I saluted him. "Aye, aye, Captin Shadows."

Matt laughed as Diana helped me to my feet. I grabbed at my stomach as I got up too fast, Matt's eyes immediately went to my stomach. I watched as he tilted his head slightly, his lips pouting.

"Hey, Nikki? Can we talk for-" Matt started.

"Can't talk now, Matt! We gotta get ready!" I called over my shoulder, scurrying into my room.

"That was so fucking close." Both Diana and I said, giggling.

Way too close.
