Chapter 33: The Beginning to the End

Chapter 33: The Beginning to the End
___

My face was filled with fear of telling Slater about this. I couldn't imagine how he would react about this and I didn't want to even think about it. I hoped for the best as I walked slowly down the stairs into the kitchen. I hesitated with each step as Slater came into my view. He was sitting at the table with his phone in his hand. His foot was tapping on the chair repeatedly, he looked anxious and worried.

Soon I stopped at the end of the stairs and I stood there, staring at Slater. Then he turned around and locked his eyes with mine. He quickly got up from the chair and ran towards me. "Are you okay? What happened?" He quickly questioned me, looking down at me with worried eyes. He looked at me long and hard, waiting for a response. I didn't know what to say or how I should start. My eyes glanced away from his face looking at the floor then back up to him.

"Danielle? What is it?" He questioned me again, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "I-" I stuttered into the sentence and started to mumble, "I'm pregnant." Tears welled up in my eyes then streamed slowly down my face. He was quiet for a few seconds, almost as if he was shocked. I couldn't read him as my eyesight was blurry from my teary eyes.

"Slater?" I sniffled, wiping my eyes then looking back at him. He looked at me and I couldn't tell what he was thinking. He just stared at me then he ran his hand through his hair and sighed. He murmured something but I couldn't make it out. Suddenly he had turned around and started walking away slowly. I stopped crying and grew mad. "Slater! Are you kidding me?" I yelled at him, he didn't say a word he just kept walking. Soon he was in another room, out of my sight.

No one was there to comfort me, I felt empty and lonely. I slowly sat down on the bottom of the stairs. I sat there whimpering as I a sobbed, I don't know what to do. I quickly got up and turned to upstairs, I started walking quickly, I wanted to get out of here.

Once I reached the top of stairs Grace ran right into me. I had almost tripped over by she caught me by my hand and helped me catch my balance. "I'm sorry Danielle! I didn't see-" Grace started to apologize till she saw what state I was in. I was a complete mess after what had happened with Slater. I just wanted to crumble up into a ball and cry, I hated myself.

"Oh baby, what happened?" She said as she opened up her arms to me widely. I quickly hugged her tightly and laid my head onto her shoulder. I whimpered out slowly, "Slater, " then started to cry loudly once again. "Come sit down with me, okay?" Grace said, leading me into my room. I felt better that Grace was here now.

We sat down together on the bed, she held my hands and I laid my head onto her shoulder. We sat there for a while as she comforted me, she would run her hands through my hair then rub my back slowly. Grace leaned towards the nightstand and grabbed a box of tissues, she then handed me them. I weakly grabbed a tissue and brought it up to my face, wiping away the tears. I then used another tissue to blow my nose because of how congested I was from sobbing for so so long.

I laid my head back down onto her shoulder, I started to breathe normally. It felt that there were no more tears to cry or fucks to give now, I just felt numb. "It's gonna be okay Danielle, I promise," Grace said calmly to me, trying to make me feel better. I sighed then took my head off her shoulder, I stared at the wall ahead of me for a few seconds. I fell back onto the bed, the springs loudly creaked and bounced up once my body had landed. My arms laid out and I started at the ceiling. I sighed loudly again, "I am so tired of everything." Grace laid down with me and stared up at the ceiling as well.

"Tell me about it, " Grace said, leaving me to explain everything that has happened in the past week. "Dimitri is fucking terrifying number one, " I said holding up my pointer finger as a one then dropping my hand back down. Grace giggled and nodded her head in agreement. "God everything is so confusing and overwhelming. I don't know what's gonna happen, what to expect, and I am just scared. I hate it." I said quickly and my rant followed with another loud sigh.

"Well, whatever happens, we'll kick Dimitri's ass, okay?" Grace assured me. "I hope so..." I replied.

I turned my head to face Grace then she turned to face me. I smiled, "thank you Grace for everything, " I said. "Anytime Danielle, " She smiled back. Suddenly her phone started to ring, she quickly got up and pulled her phone out of her jean pocket. She swiped to answer the call then held her phone up to her ear. "Hello?" Grace said to the caller.

"Yeah sure, " Grace said with a smile from whoever she was talking to. I couldn't make out what the person was saying. "Okay, I'll get ready right now and come pick you up, okay?" Grace said to the person, "alright, love you."

The phone beeped from the call ending, Grace slipped her phone back into her pocket and got up from the bed. She turned to look at me, "sorry Danielle, my girlfriend and I have plans today." Grace apologized, "it's okay! Go have fun." I said with a smile. "Okay, thanks to Danielle, see you later." Grace smiled, waving goodbye but then stopped for a second, "oh, and I hope everything goes good." She obviously was pointing out Slater and how that all went down.

I shrugged my shoulders as she walked out. Once the door closed I grabbed my phone out of my pocket. I was extremely tired and was about ready to fall asleep. I opened up the covers on my bed and slipped inside. I shifted and adjusted my pillows to where I was comfortable. Then I brought my phone up to my face and started going through notifications.

2 Hours Passed

I heard the door creak open then I looked up to see Slater's face, peeking in. I stared at him with an irritated face. Soon he was entirely in the room, he closed the door slowly behind him. He stood there and looked at the ground then back up to me. "I'm sorry for earlier, " Slater said as his deep voice filled the room. I didn't say anything I just laid there and stares at him. "I don't know why I walked off I was just so shocked I didn't know what to say or how to comfort you. This is all new to me, " He said with guilt in his voice.

I stayed silent.

"Danielle?" He looked at me confused.

Silence.

He sighed, "I'm sorry I realized what I did was wrong I should've been there for you, " he stopped and concentrated hard.

"Are you ready to have a child? I mean, you have three options right?" Slater said I smiled at how he actually cared about my choice and what I wanted to.

"I don't know yet..." I finally replied, "do you want to know what I think?" Slater said with his hands in his pockets. "If you're ready to have this child then I'm ready too if you aren't then I support you on doing whatever you'd like, I promise you that Danielle. I will be better about this and be alongside you every step of the way. We'll this together."

I smiled and quickly got up from my bed, "thank you, that's all I wanted to hear, " I said as we both passionately hugged.

I finally felt better that I couldn't stop smiling. I no longer felt alone, I now knew that I wasn't in this alone. That made me feel happy.

"I love you, " Slater said while we hugged.

"I love you, too."
