A Little Sane

Chapter72

Mercedes stared at the alcohol on the counter. Jerome tried his best to control his expression. TaTyana smiled. 

"Come on! We still have time to get somewhat drunk!"

Mercedes shook her head slowly.

"TaTyana.. I still just don't feel good.."

TaTyana tilted her head.

"Bullshit. Come on. You didn't drink with me at my wedding!"

Mercedes tried to laugh it off. She pointed to Abbe. 

"She'll drink with you. I just can't." 

TaTyana gave her a funny look.

"Why not?"

"I just don't feel up to it..."

Mercedes looked at Jerome and he lightly shook his head and mouthed no. TaTyana poured a drink and held it in front of Mercedes.

"Oh come on!"

The second the smell hit Mercedes' nose, she was in deeper trouble. 

"Oh no.."

She took off towards the down stairs guest bathroom. Jerome groaned angrily. She threw her head forward into the toilet. She finally finished throwing up and turned around to see she wasn't alone. TaTyana had wide eyes. 

"Oh. My. God. That's why you wouldn't drink the coffee either! When were you going to tell us you're pregnant?! Oh my goodness!"

Mercedes looked slightly sad. Jerome was too angry to keep his mouth shut.

"Go ahead! It's done now! While you're at it, tell them who the fucking father is!"

Abbe backed up down the hallway. Mercedes slowly stood to her feet and flushed the toilet. TaTyana and Ed had a confused look on their faces. Mercedes looked at Jerome sad. He kept his angry glare. Mercedes took a deep breath. TaTyana shook her head.

"What is her talking about..?"

Mercedes looked at the floor before she lifted her gaze.

"Jerome.. is not the father... Jeremiah is..."

Shock graced their faces. Jerome angrily huffed. TaTyana stepped forward.

"What? How? Why? What happened?"

Mercedes started to shake. Her eyes watered. 

"I... I had an episode.. I don't even remember.. going to Jeremiah's house.. or.. the sex.. but I woke up in his bed naked.."

Abbe stepped forward. 

"Jerome wasn't even there."

TaTyana looked at Abbe confused. Mercedes shook her head.

"Abbe..."

Abbe stepped forward again.

"That wasn't the only episode she had.. and there's more that has happened that you should know.."

Jerome angrily glared at Abbe.

"Abbe!"

Mercedes stepped forward wiping tears.

"Jerome.. please don't..."

Ed looked concerned. TaTyana turned to Abbe.

"What happened?!"

Abbe shrugged her shoulders.

"Well, one situation Jerome ended up with a bloody nose."

Jerome groaned. TaTyana looked at Mercedes with a serious look.
