"Vixen....I'm pregnant," rang in my ears.
The color drained out of my face and my blood turned cold as I looked at Mia's face in dismay. I slowly stand and walk to the other side of my desk. I pull out a bottle of Vodka and take a big swig of it. I needed something to calm my nerves.
I set the palm of my hands onto the desk and lean against them, closing my eyes--trying to steady my breathing.
"Fuck." I press my lips together in a tight line. Fuck! God damn! Shit!
I huffed out a deep breath before I straightened up and examined Mia who remained on the floor hugging herself. I needed to ask her the one question that I dreaded.
"Mia...I need to ask...Did you get pregnant from those men--," she shot up from the floor and started to pace the room nervously. I watched as she runs her hands through her hair and begins to bite her nails. She stopped and faced me, looking terrified.
"So, you thought that too. Everyone is going to think that. He's never going to believe it's his."
I furrowed my brows together, trying to piece together what she was saying. Who...Then it hit me... "Elliot?"
"Yes."
"He's the father?"
She slumps down on the couch and puts her knees up to her chest. "Yes," her voice was barely a whisper. She focuses on a stray thread on her sparkly pale blue gown-tugging at it.
"How are you positive it's his?" I blurted out, instantly regretting asking it.
Her eyes suddenly became dark and pain crossed them. "I was already pregnant when they took me. I thought I lost the baby from all the abuse," her eyes flinched at the words, "but I went to a doctor and he said I was about 9 weeks now and the baby is healthy."
The baby...my heart was pounding out of my chest. Elliot and Mia's baby.
"Does he know?"
"No, you're the first person I told."
"Why?"
She stood up and walked up to me taking my hands into hers. Tears were rolling down her cheeks.
"Because you're my sister Vixen. You mean the world to me. I am so sorry about everything that happened, but I promise... I never deceived you. You were everything to me then and now. I'll never give up on our friendship."
I can feel the tears start to prick my eyes. I was trying to fight them off, but my emotions were getting the best of me.
"Mia...River...." I whisper defeated. My lip began to quiver.
Her big hazel green eyes saddened as she squeezed my hands giving me some kind of comfort. I really did miss her.
"I know babe...I can't even imagine what you're going through but I am here for you. Always. I will help you with anything I can to avenge him."
