"Three mintues," I mumble placing the test back into the packaging.
"Three minutes, please be positive, please be positive, please be fucking positive!" Amyra whisper yells and I glare at her.
"Myra you don't get it, Axton doesn't want kids right now." I sighed leaning against the counter of my office bathroom.
"But you do right?" she asks me and I nod.
"Then that's all that matters, Sophia." I look away from her, staring at the mirror, could I really be pregnant? I turn to the side, no bump. That doesn't mean you're not pregnant Sophia.
The timer echoes through the bathroom. I look at Myra and she smiles at me, encouraging me to check the test.
"You got, positive or negative," she says and I nod.
I pull it out the packaging and turn it over. It's positive.
"It-I'm pregnant Myra!" I yell, suddenly happy.
"Congratulations Soph!" she hugs me and I cry, happy tears onto her shoulder.
"Happy tears?" she asks, a bit shaky.
"Yes!" I cry even harder because realisation that there's a baby in me, hits me.
"Team girl! It's gonna be a girl! I know it!" she says and I chuckle. Silently thanking God for the gift I've gotten. The timing isn't the best, but I'll still love this baby.
"How are you going to tell Axton?" she asks me and I don't have an answer for her.
"Myra.." I start speaking. She's gonna kill my ass.
"What? What? Oh God, is this a prank? Sophia I swear I'll kill your-"
"Axton and I are engaged." I mumble and she gasps.
"Since when!? Oh my God Sophia! Why don't you tell me shit!" she whines and hugs me.
"Congrats babe!" I wrap my hands around her, I just told my best friend I'm engaged to the man I love and I'm going to be a mom soon. This is exactly where I want to be, I'm afraid this isn't where Axton wants to be.
"Sophia I have to go but listen, don't lie, be honest with Axton and call me okay?" she says and I nod, wiping the tears away from my face.
"Thank you for being here Myra." I tell her, meaning everyword.
"Always babe." she smiles at me, before walking away.
"I'm pregnant," I mumble looking at the mirror. I place my hand over my clearly invisible bump.
"Uh, I feel weird doing this," I mutter.
My phone rings and I quickly grab it, seeing my mom's name flash across the screen. Do I tell her or not?
"Hi mom." I say into the phone.
"Hi darling, can you come over?" she asks and I really just want to call Axton and get my ass home.
"S-sure." I stutter, crap.

"Great, see you!" she says and I sigh hanging up. I walk out the bathroom and into my office where a bouquet of flowers sit on my desk, with a card.
Dinner on a rooftop, like old times?
Axton.
I smile at the card, but it quickly turns into a frown because I can't keep this from him. I have to tell him, soon. I unlock my phone, finding his number and pressing call.
"Hi my love." God his voice is hot.
"Hi, I got your flowers," I say, trying not to cry.
"Well, that was the reason I sent you them.." Asshole.
"Shut up. Can we stay in tonight?" I ask him, hoping I don't ruin any plans.
"Of course baby, but why? Everything okay?" Nope. I'm pregnant and you don't want kids right now.
"Yeah, everything is fine." I lie.
"I'm going to my mom's-"
"Great, I'll pick you up, see you soon babe." he hangs me up. He fucking hangs me up. Excuse me?
"Okay then." I mumble, grabbing my stuff and walking out my office.
"Good day ma'am."
"Hi ma'am."
"Morning boss." I simply smile at them as I walk into the elevator. I wonder if it's a boy or girl. I can't believe I'm pregnant. Walking out the elevator, I'm met with my aunt.
"Sophia, why do you look so sad?" She asks, fixing her make-up.
Oh nothing much, just pregnant even though my fiance doesn't want kids.
"I'm tired." I say in a flat tone.
"Okay then, I have a meeting, I'll see you soon." she kisses my cheek, but she looks at me and a grin makes its way onto her face.
"What?" I ask her.
"I'm just happy. You're getting everything you've ever wanted." she kisses my cheek again and walks away.
I want ice cream.
I push open the glass doors, oh great, just the people I wanted to see.
"Sophia, when is your next line?"
"Sophia, is it true Axton is selling McKay industries?" yes, and the sky is red.
"Sophia, are you and Axton's brother on good terms?"
"Sophia, over here!"
"Sophia!"
"Sophia, keep walking." I hear Rio's voice. I didn't call him, I don't think so.
"Mrs.Singh called me." he clears the air. Oh.
I nod in understanding as we walk to the car. Reporters push Microphones in my face as I struggle to walk through the crowd. Imagine if I passed out, I'm sure they'd back the hell up.
"Sophia." Marty greets me as I enter the car, the cool air from the air conditioning calming my nerves.
"My mom's house," I say, taking in a breath.

"Sebastian stop!" I hear Amanda's voice as I make my way into my mom's house.

"Stop-" she giggles and I walk to the kitchen, to see Sebastian and Amanda covered in flour, they're so cute! He's throwing flour at her as his arms are wrapped around her. I miss Axton.
"Hey love birds." I chuckle and they look back to me.
"Hey Soph." Sebastian greets me, wiping flour off Amanda's face.
"Hi Sophia." Amanda chuckles. Ah, young love, shut up you're not old.
"I'm gonna get cleaned up." Amanda mumbles walking upstairs and I turn to my brother.
"You look happy," I tell him.
"You look miserable," he says and I roll my eyes opening the refrigerator, I'm hungry okay.
"Thanks brother, it means a lot."
"My pleasure, where's Axe?" I grab the ice-cream and a spoon from the draw.
"Probably on his way, I don't know, not his wife." I say taking a mouthful of ice-cream.
"Yet," We both mumble and I start laughing but this asshole stands there.
"You're looking at the soon to be Mrs. McKay." I say to him, he still holds that blank expression. My hand raises and I slap him. Why the hell did I just do that?
"What the fuc-" he sees Amanda walking down the stairs and quickly shuts his mouth. Whipped.
"What's wrong with you woman?"
"I thought I could slap the expression off your face, I'm sorry." i sigh as mom walks down the stairs.
"You're fucking mad."
"Seb.." Amanda taunts him and I smile.
"You're mad Soph, come on babe, we have boxes to pack." Where's he going? Don't ask.
"Where are you going?" Oops.
"To hell." he says and I roll my eyes, that's all the years he's spent with Axton talking.
"Sebastian! He's kidding, we're moving in together," Amanda says and my eyes widen.
"You mean, he's moving out of here?" I ask, stunned.
"I know, it's sad." My mom says, walking over to Amanda and pulling her into a hug.
"Seb's moving out?" I ask, tears threatening my eyes.
"Sophia if you start crying, I swear I'm never talking to you again." he mumbles and I roll my eyes.
"Shouldn't Axton be here by now?" he asks me and I was about to answer before the devil, the hot devil showed up.
"Missed me?" he jokes with Seb.
"Man, I did." They're like brotherly soulmates.
"I need your help with something." Seb says to the devil walking up to me.
"Hi baby." I hug him.
"Hi my love." he says, wrapping his hands around me.
"I'm gonna help Bash, then we can leave alright?" he looks down at me and I nod. He's gonna be so upset.
He walks away and I take a seat on the couch with mom and Amanda.
"This was Sebastian when he was ten," Mom says showing Amanda the picture.
"He was such a cute boy!" she sqeuals.
"I'm not sure what happened." I mumble and they both chuckle.
Mom hands Amanda the albums and pours wine into a glass and hands me it. I take the glass but I remember I'm pregnant and shouldn't be drinking wine.
"Did you just refuse wine?" My mom chokes and I laugh, nodding.
"Sophia, are you okay? You've been down." she mumbles and I sigh, she pulls me into her side. Amanda's phone rings and she excuses herself to answer it.
"Mom.."
"Yeah?" she asks, flipping through the magazine in her hand.
"I'm pregnant," I tell her and she quickly looks at me.
"Oh my God, Sophia that's great news! I promise, I won't tell you what to do!" she says and I smile.
"What's wrong?" she asks, fixing my hair.
"Axton isn't ready." I tell her.
"You think your dad was ready when I was pregnant with you?" she scoffs.
"No." I say honestly in a flat tone.
"I told him I was giving birth to that baby with or without him." she says and I think about it.
"Sophia, you can manage a baby on your own, but I don't think you'll have to. This boy loves you too much to leave you with a baby." she says and I really hope she's right.
"Have you told him?" she asks and I shake my head.
"Soph, don't jump to silly conclusions, tell him." I nod getting up.
"Thank you mom." I tell her and she smiles.
I walk up the stairs, and down to Seb's room, where I find Axton teaching him about some cable wire.
"And the orange one isn't necessary."
"Alright, thanks, dad never taught me this shit." Seb says and tears drop from my eyes.
"Well, I'm one call away." Axton tells him.
"Axton," I call him and he walks up to me.
"Yeah?"
"Can we uh- can we go home?" I ask him.
"Why don't we stay-"
"No, it's important." I tell him.
---
"Sophia, you've haven't said one word since we left your mom's house. Axton says as he opens the door for our condo.
I didn't know what to say. I was terrified because he doesn't want kids, but I don't wanna loose this baby. I wanna keep it.
"I uh-" he drops the keys on the counter and I jump.
"Soph, what's going on?" he asks, pulling me into his arms.
"You're gonna be so mad." I sob.
"You're gonna leave," I mumble.
"Baby, what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant," I say, crying.
"You're pregnant?" he asks and I shake my head.
"And I wanna keep it, I don't wanna have an abortion." I say through my cries.
"Sophia I'm not ready for kids." he says.
"I-i know. But we can try-"
"Try? Fucking try?" he yells and I close my eyes hoping this entire situation will disappear.
"Fuck- I'm not doing this." My heart drops at his words, he lets go of me and grabs his keys.
"You're leaving!?" I yell, crying.
"I'm not leaving you for good Soph, but if I stay right now, I'll end up saying shit I don't mean and I'll loose you, and that's the last fucking thing I want," he says walking through the door.

"Ms. Peterson, did you attend a club Friday night? " Mr. Shaw said causally as he focused his eyes on his twirling pen."No" I said trying not to show that I was lying. But then again people always think I'm lying."Well I just ask because when I went to a club Friday night...there was a girl who looked an awful lot like, you dancing on one of the tables at a bar with a bra on as a top" he said focusing his narrowing eyes on me now." Is that question really appropriate to ask in the work place sir?" I said confused."I'm not sure? Is it Ms. Peterson?" he said a little sarcastically."Well... since you are not sure, I will just be on the safe side and not answer it sir" I said hoping to get a positive response for what I just said. "Very well. Get out now" he said coldly and I walked out of the office with my next assignment.Why didn't God answer my prayer about Mr. Shaw getting attacked by a bear?
