A Little Piece of Heaven

Just My Luck

.:Brian's POV:.

Oh shit.

I can't believe I had let it slip out like that!

Telling the guys I was the father was the last thing I wanted to do, not when we would be on the road more and they needed me. I didn't want them thinking I couldn't go because I have a baby on the way. I could do both.

Matt glared. "So, you're the father of her child. And you haven't told her?! Nikki's inside thinking she's having some random guy's baby, when really she's having yours."

I sighed. "She knows I'm the father. I asked her not to tell you guys."

"Why the fuck would you ask her that?!" Matt growled.

"Because!" I yelled. "Because you were saying how the band is getting bigger now, and we would be on the road more. That a baby didn't deserve their Dad constantly going away. Also, that the band isn't ready for a baby."

"But if you, or any one of us, were having a baby we will learn to deal with it. All of us will be there to support both of you. We're a family, we stick together through thick and thin." Matt sighed, squeezing my shoulder. "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression. You know we'll all be here for you, Nikki, and this baby."

I nodded. "I know. I'm going to need it. I'm nervous."

He chuckled. "You're going to be. It's your first baby. But you're not alone in this. Nikki will be there, me and the guys, Diana. We're all here for you. Inculding your parents and Nikki's parents, once you tell them."

My eyes widened.

Nikki's Dad... I have to tell her Dad I got her pregnant... His only little girl, not even married, is having a baby...

I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. I hunched over, grabbing my knees.

"Whoa, man. What's wrong? You okay?" Matt asked quickly.

I shook my head. "I have to tell... Nikki's Dad... She's pregnant... I have to face him..."

"Ah, shit. So glad I'm not you." Matt laughed.

I chuckled humorlessly. "Yeah, thanks."

"Come on. Let's get inside. It's fucking cold tonight." Matt shivered, heading for the restaraunt once I put out my cigarette.

"Yeah it is." I nodded in agreement, shoving my hands in my pockets as I followed him.

"Hey, Gates?"

"Hm?" I looked up at him.

"Congratulations, man. You're going to one hell of a father." He smiled, patting my back.

I smiled back. "Thanks. Means a lot."

We entered back into the restaraunt, heading for our table. I watched as Nikki giggled to whatever Johnny had joked about, a slight shiver ran through her body. I slid my jacket off and wrapped it around her tightly, making her jump in fright. Her brown eyes wide when she turned to look at me, then relaxed.

I chuckled, smirking. "Sorry."

Nikki nodded and relaxed back in her seat, I stayed standing behind her as I massaged her shoulders.

"I have an announcement as well." I cleared my throat, earning everyone's stare. "What Nikki told you is true. She is pregnant. But she lied about not knowing the father. But don't be mad at her, be mad at me. I told her not to tell you guys because-"

"Brian, don't. Please." Nikki interrupted me, fear clouding her eyes.

I kissed her forehead. "It's alright, Nik. It's okay, trust me." I assured her, looking back up at everyone. "Because I'm the baby's father."

"Brian, you're an idiot..." I heard Nikki mumble, letting her head fall onto the table.

"What? Why? What I do?" I asked, confused.

"What the fuck do you mean, What did I do?" A voice asked. "You got my baby girl pregnant, that's what you fuckin did." Nikki's Dad's voice came from close behind me, his tone was filled with rage.

Ah, shit. This would be my luck, wouldn't it? Stupid fucker! Why didn't you listen to Nikki when she begged you not to say anything?!

I slowly turned to stare directly into Nikki's Dad's blue eyes that were filled with rage and pure hatred.

I felt like Johnny looking up to Rev, yet I was the same height as Nikki's Dad. Maybe an inch or two taller.

"He-Hey, Tommy." I stuttered out, rubbing the nape f my neck. "Long time no see, huh?"

Tommy's eyes darkened, crossing his arms. "Step outside, Brian. Let's have a chat."

"Dad, no. Stop, please. I need him alive." Nikki pleaded, grabbing her Dad's arm.

"He'll be fine, Nicole. Now sit down and finish eating, I'll talk to you later tonight." He helped her sit down, kissing the top of her head then glared at me. "Let's go, boy."

I quickly did as I was told. I was going to do my best to kiss up to this guy, he could easily break me in half for what I did to his daughter. I would do the same if I have a daughter and she found out she was pregnant.

But I'm locking her away in a tower when she's older. So no worries about that.

Or send her to an all girl school. Either or.

We stepped out into the parking lot, where it was mostly empty, when Tommy quickly faced me. He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and slammed me against someone's truck, his blue eyes dark with rage and his jaw locked. For once in my life, I was frozen. I couldn't fight back.

"You got my little girl pregnant!" He growled, punching me right in the jaw. I could feel the blood starting to pour. "My only baby girl. She hasn't even lived her fucking life yet! She's not even married and having a fucking baby!"

"I'm so sorry. So very sorry, Sir." I apologized quickly.

"Oh, you will be. Believe me. You pissed off the wrong father, boy." He chuckled darkly. "Now tell me something, you're a rock star, correct?" I nodded. "Are you going to be with my little Nicole and the baby? Or are you going to just brush this off and go do your own thing? Tell me honestly so I know whether or not to take Nicole home with me." His fists tightened around the collar of my shirt.

I gulped, nodding. "I'm going to be with them. I want this child and I love your daughter, Mister Belle. I promise. I'll be the best man for Nicole and the best father I can be for our child."

Tommy smirked. "You better be. Or I will come after you if you hurt my daughter or grandchild. And that's not a threat, it's a promise. Got that?"

I nodded, my heart racing. The look in his eyes told me he was far from joking about that.

He let go of my shirt, only to poke my chest. "If you have a daughter, you'll understand all the hatred and rage I feel about you right now. You better treat my little girl like a Queen. She's my life." He took a couple steps back. "Oh, and be on the look out for my son Dean. I'm telling him tonight."

With that said from Nicole's father, he walked off towards his truck and drove off. I sat down on the curb and waited for my heart to slow down.

Rule #1, do not get a father's daughter pregnant before marriage.

That is bad news right there if you break that rule. I can tell I have more hell to pay from him, and to be honest, I was terrified.

I took a deep breath and walked back into the warm restaraunt, rejoining the others as I took my seat and gulping down my entire drink. Nikki frowned at me from across the table.

Zacky chuckled. "So, seeing as things went well?"

"Fuck off, V." I grumbled, wiping the blood away from my mouth.

"You sure pissed off the wrong Dad, Gates." Zacky laughed, while Nikki frowned more.

 No kidding, I thought.
