Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter 63: Kevin/Mitch

"I want both you and Kirstie to stay away from him for a while." I say to Scott as I pick up Mitch, who was bawling his eyes out.

I carry him downstairs and to my office. Once he's laid down and has his shirt lifted I do the ultrasound. I look for a minute and don't see anything wrong.

"Looks like everything is okay. Seems that you just got too upset and your muscles reacted, causing that pain you felt. You and you pup are going to be just fine. Just...take it easy." I tell him. He nods with tears in his eyes.

He wipes his face and sniffled. "I just don't understand." He looks at me.

"Can you tell me what happened?" I ask as I put away the machine and wipe his stomach.

"Kirstie's being a bitch and Scott's taking her side!" He shrieks.

"Alright. What did Kirstie do?" I ask first. I already knew asking about scott was gonna take longer, so why not ask about Kirst?

"All she seems to care about is how this baby is affecting her. Saying that if I lost it, she wouldn't know what to do. She blamed me for getting pregnant, when Scott's the one who hadn't used a condom. She basically told me I should've aborted it because I have the option." He threw his head back and sighed. "I just want her to be there and shes against me." He starts crying again.

I grab his shoulder. "Okay, take a second. First things first. Think about what shes saying. She said she was scared, right?" He nods. "Maybe she's not only scared about how she would handle it, but you as well. She might not be able to be around you, if she thinks something were to happen. You've gotta remember: she's miscarried, multiple times. She doesn't want it to happen again, even if it's not hers. She scared for you. She doesn't want you to go through that. You two are so close, Mitch." I try to explain to him.

"I know that, but everything she was saying was about how my baby affects her, and how I should've been more careful and made Scott wear a condom. Yes, I understand that, but honestly, when this happened, I wasn't focusing on if he was wearing one or not. She threw that in my face." He sits up and pulls his shirt back down and cradles his stomach.

"Okay, she didn't need to throw it at you like that, but she has a point." He looks at me.

"You too, really? You're against me?" He says.

"I'm not against anyone, I'm remaining neutral. I'm just saying: you both came at each other the wrong way. You weren't right, and neither was she. Can you see that now? She didn't mean to hurt you, and I'm sure you didn't mean to upset her. Neither of you are innocent." I explain. I can see it in his eyes that he understand and agrees with what I'm saying. "Now, what happened with Scott?"

He scoffs. "You really wanna know?"

"Yes, I do. Mitch, these things need to be sorted out. You can't have this much stress. You went into a panic attack earlier. That's dangerous. So, yes, I would like to know so I can help you prevent that in the future." I explain to him gently.

"Okay." He takes a breath. "The other day me and scott had sex. Like really rough and angry sex, because I had an attitude because he hadn't done practically anything with me. He hadn't touched me, or even spent that much time with me. Still hasn't. I just feel so...ignored by him." He sobs into his hands.

"Have you taken into consideration how he's feeling? Have you asked him about what he thinks about the baby? Maybe he's just as scared as you, and he just doesn't know how to show it. He's good at hiding his emotions, you know that. Give him a chance. I told him to keep away for a bit, but if you think you can talk to him without stressing yourself out, then I'll get him for you." I pat his knee.

He nods quickly and looks at me with big eyes. "Thank you." He says before hugging me.

I hug him back and go to get Scott. He's still sitting in the hallway, in the same place I left him. "Scott?" I say, sitting next to him. He doesn't respond so I snap my fingers in his face. "Scott!"

He jumps. "Ah! What?" He looks at me.

"I just wanted to let you know that Mitch and the baby are fine. And Mitch wants to talk to you." I tell him.

"Are you sure? He was pretty pissed at me. And I don't know if I should be around him. Especially after what just happened." He had tears in his eyes. I can tell he's trying not to break down.

"He asked me so yes, I'm sure. Come on." I stand up and offer him my hand.

He doesn't take it and stands on his own, though he almost falls over. "Woah!" I say as I catch him. "You good?"

He nods. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm good." He gives me a smile that I would've believed if I didn't know him.

I lead him down that stairs and to my office. I open the door and see Mitch singing lightly to his stomach with a smile on his face.

I clear my throat, announcing my presence. He stops singing and looks up quickly, then blushes and looks back down. "Sorry." He said.

"For...what?" I ask, perplexed.

"I just...haven't sang in front of anyone...ever. I don't even know if its good." He chuckles.

"Well, I can give you three people that wouldn't mind hearing you again." I smile as I walk in with Scott. "Me, him, and that little pup you're carrying." He smiles and nods. "I'll let you two be." I look at Mitch. "I'm waiting outside. If I smell anything that resembles you getting upset, Scott's leaving the room." I look to Scott. "Don't make me regret this." I say before I walk out.

Mitch P.O.V.

I sit there and look at Scott, doing my best not to cry. Of course, I fail. I sob and hold my arms out for him, wanting him to comfort me. "I'm so-sorry!" I hiccup.

He rushes forward and gives me a big hug as I sob into his shirt. I feel so bad.

"I'm sorry." I repeat. "I-I was being a bitch and you don't deserve that. You deserve just as much as everyone here." I pull back and wipe my face. "I'm sorry I've been so moody...and crazy. I should be asking you how you're doing rather than yelling at you all the time. Not that you don't warrant it sometimes." He chuckles. "You're in this just as much as I am. We can't be fighting. Not us. I can handle not having my best friend. But...I need you. More than I need anyone else." I put my hand on his chest. "You're the father of this baby. They deserve to have two functioning parents that don't want to kill each other." I joke. "I really don't want this baby to come between us. I love you. So goddamn much that it hurts, and I would do anything to feel that pain if it meant I got to be with you. I'm so sorry for what I said earlier. I shouldn't have said it, nor did I mean any of it. I have no excuse, I just know that I was wrong. You were right. I'm doing nothing different than Kirstie is. If anyone's being self absorbed, it's me. I was angry with what happen with Kirstie and I...and I lashed out on you, and that was wrong of me. Can you forgive me?" I look at him with tears in my eyes and on my face.

He just stares at me for a minute. I can't read his face so I stop trying too. I know he's at least thinking. He's silent for so long that eventually I have to say something. "Baby?"

He looks at me with a look of...I don't even know what.

"Marry me."

I know I know. "What the hell Jordan?" Trust me, I didn't expect it either. Don't attack me for the cliffhanger😂😂.

I love you guys so much. I always look forward to y'all's comments and I do my best to respond to them. Keep it up. (Besides, I have a feeling I'm going to get an earful in the comments after this).

Also, its almost 2 in the morning and I'm contemplating taking a shower. I think imma do that actually.

Anyway. Hope you enjoyed it.

I love y'all.

Stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe.
