Family

When I reach the kitchen, I see the woman who hugged Nik just last night, in one of his shirts sitting on the kitchen counter y my Sharwama how dare she? I ignore her going to the fridge
“ I’m sorry miss Aviana, I’ll make more,” Aaron looks at me apologetically, but I smile
“ oh sorry, we’re they yours? Sorry,” she says holding her mouth, bitch, she’s not sorry. I hold my small bump
“ It's fine, actually wanted cereal today,”
“ you think you've made it don’t you?” she says looking at me, I eat my cereal, and I won’t let her intimidate me. I’ve had enough. She might be a witch or whatever.
“ You’re just a human he’ll throw away after the baby is born,” I look at her annoyed
“ Did I hit a nerve,” yes bitch!
“ and you’ll just continue warming his bed like the many whores he brings,” she looks furious “ you are one of his whores,” she looks mad, but I continue to happily eat
“ You human, how dare you?” I laugh in her face, I look at the corner to see Nik who was watching. Sarafina is breathing heavily.
“ Nik loves me,” she says confidently “ isn’t that so Nikolas,” she says looking at Nik who comes to get an apple.
“ Enough Sara, this isn’t high school,” she wraps her arms around his neck, kissing him then looks at me
“ How does it feel knowing that a child will be raised by me? “ I shake my head dropping a spoon.
“ getting attached are we?” I shake my head getting a bowl of cereal and throwing it on her face, she glares at me holding her shiny hair
“ You’ll pay for this,” I won’t let that bitch raise my child, even if I have to leave. I love this child it’s mine now and I’m the only mother it will ever know
I go to my room ignoring Nikolas' call or now he wants to say something, I need some air, I go outside, and I see the kitchen has been cleaned now. I open the door but Nik’s voice stops me, he’s changed his shirt oh yes cereal was all over him too since the bitch was clinging to him like dear life.
“Where do you think you’re going?” asks Nik but I’m too angry to look at him
“ I don’t know,” he comes in front of me, blocking me.
“ for a walk, I need to clear my head,” I say going past him, how can he just let that lover of his talk to me like that, if he thinks I’m letting some bitch woman raise my baby, he’s mistaken.
“ If you think I’ll allow some desperate bitch to raise my child you’re mistaken,” I answer going out, I know it’s not mine but still. Nik follows and we walk in silence and I’m a bit calm now, notice how people are reacting to him, he is so intimating as we pass the girls bat their lashes lowering their necks
For the first time, we are walking closely together
" You are in a surprisingly good mood," he nods without adding anything else.
" Where are we going?" He asks looking around the empty streets.
I don't know," I just wanted to go for a stroll before he offered to join me, we keep walking when I suddenly stop feeling a pain in my lower abdomen, I scream as it intensifies and he comes to me holding my arms
"Something is wrong," I breathe unable to bear the pain as clutch his hand tighter, this baby is my family, the Wulfric is my family.
He coos to me but it's not working as tears start to flow freely not wanting to lose the baby, horror is written on his face as he cups my cheeks looking at my legs I feel thick liquid run down.
" I can't lose this baby," I cry desperate, he nods carrying me, I let out sobs as Nik runs fast to the hospital, how is he this fast? This baby I need to live, it gives me hope, just feeling it grow in my belly had helped me in unimaginable ways.
Soon we are at the hospital and kat looking at me, I hold Nikolas' hand through the pain
" Love, listen you'll be alright ok?" he says putting me on the bed, through my blurry sight I see doctors surrounding me but I don't want them I want Nik here with me, I hold him tighter
But soon I feel dizzy and faint, finally, darkness surrounds me.
I slowly open my eyes but the bright light of the room causes me to shut them, I try slower as I adjust, I'm in the room and the machine next to me beeping.
I put a hand on my stomach, the baby! What happened? Is it ok? Why was I in so much pain I look around hugging my stomach and the sound from the machine got louder, the door flies open, suddenly surrounded by doctors, and the air starts to escape as I cry
" Ava, listen," Kat says in a calm voice, brushing my front hair with her hand.
" The baby Kat?" I hold her white coat, and soon the doors open revealing Nik and Jeremy.
" It's fine, don't worry," I breathe looking at her with a small smile
" It's fine?" She nods with a grateful smile, my eyes look at Nik who looks tired like he hasn't slept, I look at the wall clock it's 10 am, and I was out for about seventeen hours.
He comes looking sitting on the bed,
" How are you?"
" Scared," I answer truthfully, that was very scary, he nods was he scared too? For a minute I get lost in his green eyes, I break my gaze moving my legs closer, hugging myself, I feel so relieved the baby is alright but I also can't help but wonder what happened, I saw the doctor just two days ago, he said all is well.
" What happened? I... I spoke, my archeologist said I was ok," the siblings exchange a look. What is it they are not telling me even Jeremy looks down?
" The witch's spell," I gasp putting my head between my legs, I know she doesn't like me but this is too far! I won't stand for this.
" Don't worry, Nik dealt with her," says Jeremy with a sinister smile, creepy. What has he done, I know this family is broken and enjoys torture.
" It wasn't her intention to make you lose the baby, she just wanted to cause you pain, just to scare you" explains Kat, but Nik is quiet through all this and if Sarafina's goal was to scare me, she did, I don't know how can live my life without this baby
" Did you report it?" I ask looking at Nik, but he looks back surprised. Fuck, I forgot this guy is the law around here, Alpha
" Did you kill her?" I ask but Nik shakes his head.
" I still need her, but I assure you she will be very died after her work is done," he says like it's nothing, I don't want her dead! What is wrong with these people?
" But she was tortured hard, oh you should have been there, so exciting," Jeremy says with a smile like remembering the best show of his life, what Is he? Sixteen? And how can he freely talk about such things? I shake my head glaring at them
" How could you? She's a human being gosh!" I yell not knowing where I got the energy from, but they look at me perplexed
" Holy is thou," he says, his tone dripping with sarcasm and bitterness.
" Don't kill her, I don't want it to be because of me," I say in a quiet voice, she wanted to harm me but still I can't have a death on my conscious.
" Listen, LOVE, don't tell me how to treat traitors," he speaks in a hard voice, Kat puts a hand on his shoulder
" and she will die because this is not the first time she has crossed me!" his eyes getting darker and angry
" no one harms my family and live to tell the tale, one way or another, they all end up dead," he says standing up, and exiting the room, Jer takes a seat on the couch pressing his phone and Kat left as soon as Nikolas did. But his words are what is lingering in my head. Did he mean it when he said no one harm my family, I am his family? Or he meant the baby.
