Feels Like Home

Chapter 20

"I can't believe you're willing to sacrifice your life."

"Nothing different then what I did for you and Austin."

Andy knew it was a low blow, but she needed him to understand and when she saw his face she knew he got it.

"Do you want me to do it?"

Andy shook her head.

"No, I'll do it, but thanks."

Leo had no other choice she had made her decision and he had to let her have it.

On time, Andy arrived the next day to work and Vincent gave her, her assignment without another word. Andy got to work and by lunch time she was feeling her stomach ache. She took the elevator to his floor and was coming out when he saw Carlos coming out. She stopped and watched him as he came her way.

When he noticed her, he smiled.

"Hey I was just texting you!"

He went up to her and kissed her.

"Are you working?"

"Yeah, what are you doing here?"

"Oh I was just visiting a friend."

"What friend?"

"Just a friend."

Andy knew he was lying to her, but so was she so she let it go.

"Alright well I better get back to work."

"That's it? No how are you, I miss you or hey why didn't you come see me last night?"

"I know you're busy and I know not to bother you."

"You never bother me. How about dinner tonight? We'll have a quiet dinner and stay in like the old times."

Andy nodded.

"Great, I'll meet you at your place after work."

"Okay."

Carlos went into the elevator, but not before giving her a kiss.

"See yah baby."

Andy waved at him and waited until the doors closed before she turned around and walked over to Austin's room. She knocked and went in to find him watching television.

"Tired?"

Austin turned, but he didn't smile at her.

"Where did you go?"

Andy looked down at her hands and went up to him, sitting next to him on the chair.

"I found out something yesterday and I didn't know how to tell you."

"You're pregnant?! God tell me you are."

Andy shook her head, crying and laughing.

"God I wish I was or this could only go one way, but it's not that."

"Then what is it?"

Taking a deep breath she looked up at him, but couldn't look at him long.

"Andy, tell me."

"You're uncle, the guy that was here yesterday?"

"What about him?"

"I know him."

Austin frowned.

"What, How?"

She took a deep breath and pulled out the picture she had been holding onto since this morning. She placed it into his hands.
