Love in the Nick of Time

Chapter 15

"Regina quit it before I tie your behind up." Christian said as he blocked a punch aiming for his face. When Christian opened the door he had hoped that after a week of pouting Regina would have finally come to apologize, but he was wrong. He had no idea what brought on the impromptu beating.

"I hate you so much." Regina yelled as her punch landed in the center of Christian's chest.

"What the heck did I do?" Christian asked finally having enough of Regina's tantrum; he grabbed her by the wrist and pinned them to her sides.

"What is wrong with you, talk to me." He demanded and Regina collapsed into his arms as she cried.

"You got me pregnant you douchebag." She cried into his shirt. Christian's breath caught in the center of his chest as his eyes widened with surprise, he looked down in to Regina's tear stained face too see if she was joking.

"For real?"

"Yes you idiot why would I lie about something like that?" she cried ready to start punching him again.

"Okay enough with the punching talk to me." Christian said pulling Regina to the sofa and made her sit down as he knelt down in front of her.

"This is all your fault." She said wiping her eyes.

"How is it just all my fault I didn't force you to have sex with me."

"You should have worn a condom."

"You should have been on birth control." He tossed back at her and Regina narrowed her eyes.

"I don't see why you're getting all worked up; we are both adults with well-paying jobs. We love each other; we made love and created a baby it happens." He said with a huge grin plastered onto his face as he thought about the fact that he was going to be a father. "This is great news wait until I tell mom, she is going to flip, but your dad will want to kill me." He said barely able to contain his excitement.

"I told you I don't want kids."

"There's nothing we can do about it now." He said waving her off as his imagination began to take over; he imagined playing baseball in Grand Central Park with his son, as Regina watched from under a tree as she carried their second child.

"I'm not keeping it," Regina said

"What did you just say?" he asked as his daydream bubble popped.

"I said I'm not keeping it, I told you from the beginning I don't want kids, I'm not meant to be a mother."

"So just like that, you get to decide without my input." He said as his hands balled into fists.

"Why do you need to have a say when it's my body."

"It's my child!" he bellowed as he stood up he was almost at his breaking point and was afraid that if he didn't get as far as he could from Regina he would do something he would regret.

"I shouldn't have said anything to you, I knew you wouldn't understand." She scoffed.

"Regina if you abort our baby I'll never forgive you," he said never looking back at her. Having nothing else to say Regina walked out of the house and went to work. When she had gotten the call from her doctor during her lunch break, she just went straight to Christian's place, which was a huge mistake. Pushing her personal issues to the side her focus was on finally getting Jess down the aisle to marry the man of her dreams.

When she walked into the office, Teresa was busy working on a floral arrangement when Teresa noticed Regina's swollen face.

"What the heck happened to you?"
