Can you Stand the Rain (Antonio Dawson)

Together

I made it home after a long day, I was about to go take a shower, when there was a knock at the door, I looked out the window and Antonio was there staring right at me

"Come on Cortez, I'm not going anywhere." He said then police knocked on my door. I sighed I was hoping I had more time to process

"Hey." I said opening the door and he walked in with a bag of food that smelled great, one thing my appetite hasn't went anywhere

"'Hey' that's all you can say?"

"If you came here to fight, I had a long day so you can leave now."

"I come in peace, I brought fajitas mama Dawson specialty. She asked about you, wonder where you were, I told her I've been wondering the same thing."

"I've been busy."

"So, you just cut me out? You remember how upset you were when I did that? How is this ok?"

"It's not you're right I'm sorry."

"What's going on?" He asked and I got quiet

"Come on talk to me whatever it is we'll figure it out together. I know you're still worried about my divorce but it's over I swear." He said and I felt myself tearing up these damn hormones

"Are you crying?" He wrapped his arms around me

"Antonio, I um." He looked at me I could see he was worried

"I'm pregnant." I said and he froze

"Are you sure?" He asked

"Yeah I had my work physical and it came back positive. I took it four more times blood and urine and they all came back positive." I cried

"H-how far along?"

"7 or 8 weeks give or take."

"That first night."

"Yeah I took a plan-b but I obviously it didn't take."

"It's going to be ok; I'm not going anywhere." He said and I felt tears come to my eyes at his words it was finally some relief since I found out

"Really?"

"Yes."

"But what about Eva and Diego?"

"They'll be ok, don't worry about it right now."

"We have to worry about it sometime and it's all I've been thinking about. Your kids, my family, your family, our jobs, hell us! What are we doing?" I said and he kissed me

"You and me we're together, so together we will deal with the rest of the world. I'll be there when you tell your parents and we can tell my family together, and I want you to meet my kids. Some people may think we're moving fast but I think we're moving at the right pace for us. Are you with me on this?"

"I'm with you." I said without hesitation and he kissed me I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he picked me up and moved towards the stairs when I broke the kiss

"Wait what about the food?" I said and he laughed

"We'll warm it up." He said as he kept going up stairs

"He laid me back on the bed and raised my shirt up just under my breasts and placed a kiss on my stomach. We quickly stripped our clothes and he entered me

"Antonio." I moaned gripping his back as he moved in and out,

"Alayna." He moaned in my ear then pressed a kiss to my neck as he moved faster, and we climaxed together we laid there catching out breaths and I looked at him

"I'm still hungry." I said and he laughed then got up and pulled on his boxers

"Let's go feed my baby." He said then kissed me

The green Honda sat across from the townhouse once again, then time he was pushing the envelope sitting directly across the street for some reason she had left her blinds open which was unusual for her this late. He had his camera trying to get a look inside he couldn't help but smile once the living room light came on and he got a clear view of her turning on the T.V. she looked so beautiful with her hair down falling around her shoulders. He snapped a couple of pictures as she flicked through the channels, he couldn't see was it was, but she sat the remote down and looked away then she got up and walked away. He waited until she reappeared carrying a cup of water and a beer and she sat them on the table then walked over to the windows and began closing the blinds. He snapped a couple of more pictures know this would be his last glimpse of her for the night. Just as she got to the last window, the guy appeared. He couldn't remember his name, but he knew he was an cop. He felt his blood boil as he wrapped his arms around Alayna from behind, she smiled as he kissed her neck and she shut the blinds. Isaac was pissed he had to make Alayna see they were made for each other. That cop couldn't compare to him. He had to fix this.

We settled into the living room to eat

"Oh god I love your mom's food." I said licking my fingers

"Did you not eat today?" He asked with a smile

"That's the thing I'll always hungry, and chocolate has become my best friend." I told him and he laughed

"I'm serious Natalie bought me a bag of mini candy bars just two days ago and it's gone already."

"Well I'll make sure to stock up on chocolate even more now. It's Eva's favorite too."

"Are you sure they're going to be ok with this?"

"They will I know Diego will warm up to it faster than Eva. I think we should have them meet you once and then tell them about the baby later."

''How are they handling all of this? The divorce I mean."

"They're adjusting, Eva actually showed up at the station yesterday upset because we don't see each other as often." He said looking down I scooted over to him

"I'm sorry baby. What did you say to her?"

"I just reminded her that I love her and Diego more than anything, and no matter what the three of us would always be family and they could come to me for anything. It did make me want to rethink our custody agreement, but I can't really fight it with the crazy hours I work."

"I don't think there anything wrong with asking for a couple of extra days if you're free."

"Yeah I don't want to mess up their schedule."

"You should think about it." I said and he nodded then wrapped and arm around me and pulled me to his chest. I laid my head on his shoulder and he placed a hand on my stomach

"Do you have a doctor yet?"

"Yeah I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Bennett she's the head of OB. She managed to get me in tomorrow."

"What time?" He asked

"2."

"I'll be there."

"No, you don't have to, it's just an admitting appointment."

"I'll be there, my job is crazy, so I won't be able to make every appointment. So, let me make the ones I can." He said and I kissed his cheek

"Ok."
