The Five Demigods

Chapter 45

Mitch felt a lot better after his shower. He looked better to.

He'd let Xan and T knock him around a bit, making it look like he'd gotten jumped or something. He looked at his face and smiled. They did a good job. Granted it hurt like a bitch, but it was good.

He put on his joggers and exited the bathroom to see everyone looking at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Where were you?" Kirstie asked, a little to harshly.

"That doesn't matter." He said, trying to think of an excuse.

"The hell it doesn't." She snapped.

Mitch had to keep his composure, if he wanted to keep his cover.

"I dont know, okay?" He said. "Its all been a huge blur. I kept getting attacked, so I came back."

Kirstie scoffed, not believing him, and walked out, Avi on her heels.

"But you said not to count on you coming back." Kevin said. "And you seemed pretty set on it."

Mitch shrugged. "It was the heat of the moment. I was pissed off."

Kevin just looked at him. Something about this wasn't right. Mitch was way to calm for someone who was supposedly attacked.

"Okay." Was all Kevin said before he went back to reading his book. He didn't trust Mitch, and he was worried about who would.

Mitch nodded and sat down next to Scott, who still had no idea how to feel.

Mitch looked at him and gave a small smile, which Scott returned half-heartedly.

"Are you okay?" Mitch asked him.

"Mhmm." Scott said.

Mitch just looked at him. "You sure?"

Scott nodded and opened his arm, suddenly wanting to cuddle.

Mitch smiled. He leaned and kissed Scott's little bump before settling in Scott's arm.

"I'm sorry." Mitch said, genuinely meaning it.

This may be an act, but Mitch genuinely cared about Scott and their baby.

Scott sighed. "Let's just forget the whole thing. You sleeping with Avi, the fight we had. All of it. Let's start fresh."

Mitch smiled again. "I like that idea." He said, before snuggling into Scott's side and placing his hand on Scott's stomach. "She's gotten so big."

Scott chuckled and placed his hand on top of Mitch's. "She has. I'm almost three months along, I think?"

Mitch internally kicked himself for not being there, but that feeling was quickly replaced when he felt the ice of the Hell Hound blood in his veins, reminding him why he was here in the first place.

"That's good." Mitch said with a smile.

"Yeah."

They just laid there in each others arms.

"You know we all care about you, right?" Scott said.

Mitch had to bite back the snarky comment. "I guess."

"Stop that. We wouldn't be so worried if we didn't."

Mitch took a deep breath. "You're right. I probably just need to learn to let people in."

Scott nodded. "Its not as bad as it seems, and it doesn't have to be everybody. It's fine if you only have a few people in your cirlce." He explained.

Mitch looked at him. Scott really was attractive. He's got the chiseled jawline, the beautiful blue eyes, he was tall and had the perfect body, even if his belly was getting bigger.

"You're like, really cold." Scott pointed. "Are you alright?"

Mitch nodded and snuggled up to Scott. "Just hold me." He said, finding himself quickly fall asleep.

This is the first time Mitch had slept in almost 4 days.

~~~~~

By morning everyone had returned.

Kirstie was the first awake and that was because she felt absolutely miserable. Her stomach was turning and she felt like she was gonna throw up any second.

Mitch was the second one awake. At first, he forgot where he was, but once he felt Scott beside him, he remembered, and he felt a tinge of guilt. Then he felt ice in his veins and it snapped him back.

Kirstie heard movement and turned her head to see Mitch bent in half kissing and rubbing Scott's stomach gently.

She smiled as she remembered what she needed to tell Avi. Her stomach lurched and she pushed Avi off of her, waking his grumpy ass up, and ran to the bathroom so she could empty her stomach.

She was just finishing when she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Kirstie?" Avi said softly before opening the door and sliding into the small room. "You alright?"

She shook her heard. She needed to tell him before she lost her nerve, but she co UK kdnt make herself say the words yet.

"What's wrong? Did you have a bad dream or did something happen or...?" He trailed off when he saw tears on her blank face.

He came forward and had her face him.

"Kit, please." He said softly, grabbing her hands. "Talk to me."

She sniffled and laid her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist.

She took a deep breath and steeled herself. Now or never.

"I'm pregnant."

So.

That's happening.

Also, on an completely unrelated note, I have so many stories lol.

And most of then are all the same set of people, PTX, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna slip up one of these days and write the wrong Mitch for AIAY or some shit😂

Anyway,

Love y'all!
