6 days, 12 weeks.
"Baby, you're going to have to talk to me." Leo says, trying to get me to talk to him.
I haven't talked to him after he blew up on Bianca. I told him not to do it and he did it anyways. I was completely fine with what she said, after all it's her opinion. If she wants to do it to herself, she can gladly do it to herself.
I'm a terrible person. I know I am. I don't go out of my way to make people feel better about themselves and I, sure as hell, aren't going to take their advice.
I am doing what I need to do in order to protect myself and my baby, along with protecting Leo. Yes, I know I'm not doing anything dramatic like saving him from some Kung Fu Panda but I listen to him, I can only hope by doing that, by listening to his opinions, listening to his theory's, I help him as much as he helps me.
I let him touch me but I don't reply to him. And that's exactly what he's doing right now. He's rubbing my back as I lay on my side, away from him. He occasionally rubs his hands to my stomach but returns to my back.
"Baby, what did you want me to do? Let her talk all over you? I'm not gonna let anyone talk bad about my wife." He says, sighing harshly.
I'm just trying to sleep and he won't stop talking.
"Fuck. Just talk to me." He says, his voice that was once soft became hard.
Who the fuck do he think he's talking too?
I get up, silently slipping on one of his shirts before walking out of our room, walking to the kitchen to get snacks before walking to Nova's room.
"Hey." I say softly as I enter her room.
She's sitting on her bed, watching Sin sleep in between her knees that are propped up. "Hey." She whispers back.
Sit beside her, placing my legs under the blanket before handing a bag of chips. She opens them, plopping one in her mouth.
"So, Leonadas is still in the dog house?" She replies, keeping her voice just above a whisper.
"Yeah."
"Why exactly is he in the dog house? I mean, Ezra told me what happened. I'm just confused on the part where you get mad at him." She says, tracing Sin's face lightly with her finger.
"I told him not to go off on her. I knew I would have gotten comments on me from her when I told her she could stay her. I know what I'm doing. All she's going to do is cause more trouble for Royce and the rest of them. I'd rather her cause trouble where I can fix it whether where she could get a bullet in her head. Believe it or not, she was there for me once, a time I don't remember much, she helped me out of it." I say, watching her nod her head to my words.
"Alright, I'll back you up anytime you need me too. You know that, right?" She says, getting up and placing Sin in his crib by the bed.
I wait for her to get in the bed beside me, resting her head on my chest with her arm and leg lazily thrown over me.
"Yeah, I know." I whisper.
"No, because what I'm saying is that if there is an animal that are 18 feet tall and have both freakishly long neck and legs, then why can't I have my unicorn. It doesn't make sense." Nova huffs, crossing her arms.
"Damn, Nova. If you want a unicorn that bad, go buy a horse and I'll glue a horn on it." Ezra snickers from his own words.
"I want a goat." I say, feeding Sin his bottle.
"Wait, kinda same." Nova says.
"Which kind? The one with horns that curve or the one with fur?" Ezra asks, looking up from his phone.
Nova and I make eye contact before rolling our eyes.
"A goat with horns are rams and the ones with 'fur' is a sheep." Nova says in a 'Duh' voice. Ezra nods his head with his chin on his hand, his phone laying in his lap now.
I roll my eyes, moving to burp Sin when I hear my name being called. I look at Nova and Ezra confused before standing and walking to Leo's office while burping Sin.
"Oaklee!" I hear opening his door. Somehow, someway, Bianca has him trapped in a corner he barely fits in.
"Oaklee! Thank god, she's trying to fuck me!" He says, his eyes wide as his hand that is tucked into his chest points at her.
I nod my head, handing Sin to the nearest person, who happens to be a guard, before walking over, having to slightly jump to grab the top of Bianca's hair, dragging her out of the room.
"Jesus Christ! That's not what I meant!" I hear Leo yell after me.
I drag her through the hallways as she screams and stumbles. I walk down the stairs and she falls almost immediately after the first step. She lands only a couple of stairs down, I sigh before grabbing her hair again, pulling her down the rest of the stairs before dragging her out of the front door.
"I want her off this property, now." I say calmly as the few guards that were watching, grabbed her arms and started to pull her towards the front gate.
"Wait, wait! My stuff! It's still inside!" She yells.
"Sucks." I say, shutting the door.
I take a breathe before turning around. I see Leo at the bottom of the stairs shaking his head, Nova and Ezra were standing at a hallway entrance with their mouths hung open, the guard that I handed Sin beside them.
"Did she touch you?" I ask Leo.
"Yeah." He murmurs, his cheeks turning pink.
"Where?" I ask.
"My arm and my face but that's all, I swear." He says suddenly.
"Don't touch me until you take a shower." I say, watching as he spins, running up the stairs. I take back Sin, the guard sighed in relief. I walk back to the living room downstairs.
"Anyways, where would we put a goat if I got one?" I ask once I'm sat.
"I love you." I whisper.
"I love you, baby." Leo whispers back from between my thighs as he quite literally is hugging one of my thighs while he rest his back against my other thigh.
"Speaking of baby's, what do you want it to be?" I ask, still whispering.
It's quiet as he thinks. After a moment, he snuggles his face deeper into my thigh. "Whatever you want, I want." He whispers. His stubble tickles my skin.
"I just want it healthy. It could be anything it's little heart desires. I just want our baby to be happy and healthy." I say, my hands threading through his hair.
