The room was quite, Everyone was deep in there own thought, only beeping sound from my machine was the only sound, I was so embarrassed I can't even look at anyone one of them. I was looking at my tangled fingers in my lap, and everyone was just silent I guess, I haven't look up since I started to tell them what happen 3 months ago at the night of Exhibition and also about after party and that lead me to being Pregnant by an unknown man.
'So, you are pregnant? and you don't know the guy?' Sergei questioned me and I shook my head to Yes. Them I hear loud sigh dont know who that was.
'What do you wanna do cupcake?, I mean how do you feel?' Pasha ask me, I shrugged my shoulders, Honestly I even dont know how I feel? or what I want to do?.
'Come on ronie you have to speak at some point, or you waiting for Anton to come back' Sergei said, What Anton is out of town?, that's why he wasn't hear? why is he making these trip? most importantly to where?. God am in no position to ask any question, When I am already at Spot light.
'We are here for you ronie, but you need to say something? tell us what do you want to do? You have my word, we will take care of everything and we mean it, If you want to keep it, will help you raise him/her, I know its hard will do that as a family, like we always do, right? Just say something? Doctor already told us there are complication and there is a risk on you and your child please speak up buttercup, please for our sake? Nik pleaded me. I let out a heavy sigh at look up to meet everyone's gaze.
'I am so sorry guys, I let you down' I couldn't speak more and bust into tears, and Everyone engulf me in a bear hug started to sooth me and calm me down.
'Shhhhhhh, no no, Don't cry, we can't stand your tears cupcake, just let us know what you wanna do, Like Nik said, we are here for you, will support you in every decision of your's okay? Dont stress yourself, please' Pasha said in calm tone while rubbing my back. I nodded in response.
someone cleared their throat, we all look up to see there was nurse.
' I am here to check her vitals, so that we can tell you when can you take her home.' she said and did what she was suppose to do. once she left.
'So, you wanna tell us, what you wanna do, so we can figure out how to tell Anton.' Sergie said. I shook my head to No. 'I still need time to think what want to do, Of course I want to keep this baby, its not his/her fault, Its mine, why should someone else suffer. But I wanted to be 100% sure, that I can do this all by myself or not.' I said.
'You are not alone in this cupcake, we all are here, for you and for your child, We will protect and help you raise your child.' Pasha said and everyone nodded in agreement. I gave them a small smile and thank them. with that they left me with Val, to make sure I get some rest and can make my decision,and assure me that they will be back in the evening with Anton.
'So, You're pregnant ha ?' Val said while sitting at the end of my bed. I shrugged again, I know it make her pissed I still do that and said ' I guess, peeing on the stick helped us to nothing?. and we bust in laughter. 'No, but seriously Ronie you're pregnant, what you gonna do now? you still have college to complete and a career to built, Are you sure you wanna do this,?' She stopped for a second and saw I didn't respond and she continued again 'Look Ronie, I am here to support you just like your brother said we are a family, it is entirely your decision, we will accept whatever decision you will make, I promise.' She said and gave my hand a assuring squeeze.
'I want to keep this baby Val, I know I should think twice and take my time, But I want to do this, I want this child' I said. she release a sigh and smile at me ' So, I am gonna be aunt?' she cheered happily. 'I guess, and also a god mother' I said. ' Oh Ronie, are you serious? you want me to be your child's god mother?' I nodded and she jump out of the bed and hugged me tight squeezing me way to tightly, ' ummm, I can't breath' I manage to out that out. 'Oh, I am so so so sorry Ronie, I get t excited, are you hurt? are you alright? do you want me to call doctor?' she ask in hurriedly and in concern tone. ' I am alright, you dont need to any such thing.'. I assured her. 'Okay, you take rest will be back in the evening with your brothers okay?. I nodded.
Sometime in the Evening
I open my eyes and see Val was sitting in the couch looking into her phone, I ask here when did she came, she told me half an hour ago, I was sleep so she didnt disturb me, Nik and Sergei are in the cafeteria and Pasha is picking Anton up.
'I dont know, how to tell Anton? Val, I am scared.' ' Dont worry, he love's you dearly he will support you like others. Val assured me once again.
Few min later door open and Nik and Sergei came in with green tea latte for me, as the aroma hit my nostril, I ran towards the bathroom, and vomit everything I had in my stomach. As I step out of the bathroom, everyone look up at me with a worried look on there faces.
'You alright?' 'what happen to you?' 'Do we need to call doctor?' Everyone bombarded their question on me.
'I am fine guy, its just morning sickness' I said. 'and they are hitting you in the evening why?' Sergei ask. Then I explained them, that I am having HG and everything else related to pregnancy and HG. Seems like they took the info hard way. They look worried, and not happy.
'So, you gonna keep puking like this? all the time?' ask Nik, 'No, it will stop gradually, with time and medication hopefully.' I assured them.
After few more small talk, Anton rush into he room and towards me,worriedly wrap me in his arm.
'O my god Ronie, you alright? What happen to you? Why are you here? These dumb asses didn't say anything at all, I called them everyday, They said everything is fine and Here I see my baby-sister lying in a Hospital bed, You are so dead, Nik and Pasha.' he said last part pointing at Nik and Pasha.
'Its okay, its not their fault, I ask them to not tell you anything. The thing is brother that,' I started to shake and Nik hold my hand and patted my shoulder with other hand.
'What is it?, stop scaring me babygirl just tell me what is it? I will take care of it, I promise Okay?' Anton said worriedly.
' I am Pregnant' I blurt out.
Once again there was a silence in my room, no one said anything, Everyone look at Anton, waited for his reaction. He release a sigh and shook his head.
' You scared the hell out of me Ronie, I thought you were dying or something' He said. Everyone looked at Anton then at each other. I wanted to ask him if is alright and if he heard me correctly but then again he started t speak again.
'Who's the father?, I never knew you had a boyfriend?, damn I never knew you were seeing someone, Am I that unavailable for you?, god what have I done? but you know what? Screw that, I am here now, Will take care of everything now okay?, where is he?' He ask looking around.
'Where is who?' I ask 'Your boyfriend Ronie father of your child where is he?, I am sure he is scared of us all, But its okay, what is done is done. I have no objection and I speak for everyone, Right guy?' He look around at everyone asking them, no one uttered a word, everyone look at the floor, Then I built the courage to answer his question and tell him the whole truth.
' Anton, I Don't have a boyfriend', he gave me a confused look and I continued talking. 'At the night of Exhibition, we went to club and I end up having sleeping with a strange, who doesn't live in states.' I told him and tears started to roll down my cheeks.
'So you saying, you dont know who's the Father of your child? Veronica Alexia Petrov, ARE YOU f*****g KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?' he growled at me and stand up, and continued ' Its no f*****g time to joke sister, tell me you lying? come on?' he said. I shook my head in no and started to tell him more. ' I am sorry Anton, I met him in this expensive club where Austin works, He was some rich Russian guy, came up and started talking, and we end up in a Hotel room' I said crying harder till then.
'Who was he?' he ask again 'I told you I don't know' I told him unable to look at him. ' Do you know his name or anything?' he ask again. why is it so important to him, to know the person, its not 60's That I need a man to gave birth a child and raise him to be my side.
'Why is that so important to you to have a man and to know him?' I blurt out. 'I want to know his name Ronie, do you know his name or what he look's like?' He said with the greeted teeth, he was scaring me, I have never in my life seen him this angry or acted this way, again I have never got pregnant in my life. Nik interjected in, 'You are scaring and stressing her, Its not good for her and her child's health. what's wrong with you Anton?' Nik said while pushing him backwards a little so that he can stand in between this us.
'Don't you dare tell me, What's wrong with me, I wanted to know, who is responsible for my sister's condition, what is wrong with that?.' he question him pushing him a little. 'You have lost you mind Anton, Our sister is an adult, you can't beat the s**t out of the guy now, so drop it.'. he said and walk out of the room.
'Ronie, tell me, what do you know about him?' he ask me again. Seriously what is wrong with him?, is he really lost his mind?. ' I dont remember his last name maybe he didn't told me, I don't know, I was way to drunk' I said tried to remember. ' Tell me his name? and which night club you went to?' he ask me, God my head is hurting now 'Blue something was the club name' I was cut off by Anton ' Blue Raven?' he ask I nodded in response 'Okay what was that guy's name?'
'STOP IT ANOTON, what do you want? you are clearly stressing her right now, it not healthy' Sergie interrupted this time, ' Don't you tell me what healthy and what is not, I wont let this happen in my house, you get that? I wont allow any random strangers child in my house, okay?' he yelled at Sergie, 'It not your house, It our house, mom and dad left that house for us' Pasha said anger clear in his voice. Anton look around to see Pasha. 'You think you can stop me?, go ahead claim you rights, will see that too' he said raising his hand in the air,
'ENOUGH' I yelled. 'I can't take this anymore stop fighting because of me, okay?, You want to know the name, Dimitri his name was Dimitri Alvera or Averia something, I dont remember now leave me the f**k alone.' I said tears rolling down my cheeks. ' Dimitri Averin?' He confirmed. 'Yes, I guess that's was his name, Now stop' I said. He started to shook his head in disbelieve and started to run his hand in his hairs in frustration and curse under his breath.
'This isn't right Ronie, No this can't be happening' he rushed towards me and took my hand in his and lowered his head and said ' You need to have an abortion' I was stunned and shocked are the understatement, How can my own brother say that to me, no no how can he order me to do that, Clearly Its my own choice and decision.
I backed my hand from him, ' what did you just say to me, are you honestly ordering me to abort my own child, I would never do that to my child, It's MINE. No one and when I say NO ONE IS GOING TO f*****g TOUCH MY CHILD. I shouted the last part. I was breathing heavily by now, and the machine beeping was raising with our every argument. I thought for a second, this machine is going to bust any second.
'You don't understand Ronie, you are risking your life and this child's life as well.' he tried to say more but I cut him off, ' get out' I said, he started to say something but I was in no state of listening what ever the f**k he wants to say. I shouted at him 'GET THE f**k OUT'.
'You heard her Anton, leave'. Sergei said. when he didn't move. I ask Pasha to get him out of my sight. He drag him out of the room, than I ask everyone to leave me alone.
I was heart broken, hurt how can my own brother can order me to abort my own child, I will never let anyone harm my child, I will raise him, I had to do it all by myself, Damn I will do it. No matter what happens.
