"Peach..." Leo began

"Don't?" she said voice cracking at the end

"Buh...." Ruby started

"Let me go... Please I_ I jus--" Peaches began when Ruby interrupted her and placed her hand on her stomach

"Let me give you a reason to live instead," she said as tears welled up in her gaze

Peaches looked down at where her hand was placed and the baby kicked, tears ran down her cheeks Leo placed his hands too and said

"Let's give others a reason to hope" Peaches looked at him expectantly and he continued

"So they'd be no more Annabel nor you so no one else has to say goodnight to their loved ones and mean goodbye, all cause you made a difference" At that Peaches sat up and hugged him

After a well-deserved hug and pampering of course change of minds inclusive they sat and discussed, it all went so well that an onlooker would think they had no problems

"How many months have gone? Peach asked Ruby

"6months and 2weeks," she said smiling shyly

"Damnn I'm gonna be an aunt huh," she said with enthusiasm

"Of course"

"Errm hem" Leo cleared his throat catching their attention

"Aren't y'all forgetting something? He asked

"Well if you feel left out you can as well go back to your mother's and get the stuff we'd be needing" Ruby said rolling her eyes meanwhile peach stiffened beside her

"Home? Are we going home? Peach said staring into the thin air

"No!" Ruby said with finality

"We're gonna get us a home of our own Peach" Leo said

"I'm sorry," Peach said almost breaking down again

"Shhhh" they cooed her whispering sweet nothings
But her mind was still racing...

Leo stopped by the station to see the police officer and trust me they almost had a brawl but either way, he left for home... Ever heard of the calm before the storm😐

Leo finally got home his anger yet dissipated, On getting home he found his mum and the so-called uncle of his on the couch with his mum not only sitting they were all up on each other cuddling's gonna be an understatement...

LEO'S POV:

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS ABOUT!!!" Leo screamed exasperatedly

His mum skipped from the chair and stood far away from the man as though she suddenly realized who he was...

"I_SAID_WHAT_EVER_THE_FUCK_IS GOING_ON_HERE" Leo said again by this time his jaw was tightly clenched, hands balled up into fists by his side constantly squeezing and releasing, it was obvious he was restraining himself

"Leo__ baby I_ uh that time it's just ah" his mother stuttered

"Just just_shut THE FUCK UP," Leo said already losing his cool as he turned to Mr so-called Rodger Riverna

"And you BASTARD WHAT'S YOUR DEAL HUH," he asked flicking his finger towards him

"What's your plan?! To tear us apart? Huh tell me"

The man stood and smoothened his shirt and grabbed his suit from the couch then turned to Leo and said

"I'm guessing you and your mum have the stuff to talk about, so I'd be leaving now" he sounded so cool and collected that I'm guessing he didn't expect the eye-blinding punch he received from Leo just as he turned to walk pass him, making him step back leaning into the wall, his face throbbed, it seemed his jaw had dislocated
