"Shit, shit, shit" Ivy panics running into my room, I bolt up from my bed when she slaps the back of my head and I get up groaning a bit.

"Abby, I screwed up" she says and I go glare at her but when I see her watery eyes my heart melts and I stand hugging her to me without a word

She wraps her arms around me and nuzzles her face into the crook of my neck letting out a small cry, "hey, talk to me please" I whisper rubbing her back slowly.

I hear her muffle a cry against my neck and I hold her closer and tighter, "I-I forgot to take my birth control" she chokes on her words and I bite down on my bottom lip. Oh shit.

"And we didn't use protection" she lets out a sob wrapping her arms around me tighter and my eyes widen, "Abby, he doesn't like kids-what if I'm..." she doesn't finish her sentence when I pull back and cradle her cheeks.

Oh shit x2

"Ivy, did you take a test?" I ask the first thing that comes to my mind and she sniffs shaking her head 'no'. Okay so let's do that and then panic...

Screw my nap, I mean we both should be asleep considering it's almost 3 in the morning but I was doing some work that kept me up. "Can you come get tests with me, from the drug store" she asks shifting from one foot to the other and I scoff.

"I was going to either way" I say and she gives me a small smile as my thumb pushes away her tears, I am going to kill that old man if he says anything to her. If she ends up being pregnant and he gets pissed, I will move forward his fucking expiry date because no one, no one in this stupid world hurts Ivy.

"Here" I throw a hoodie at her and grab one for myself as I interlock our hands after we both slide on the hoodies.

We walk out of my room and I look around for anyone who I can steal some car keys from, because I wasn't allowed to ship my car over here.

"Abby" Ivy calls as we walk towards the kitchen to see if Athena is there seeing she gets back from warehouses at this time, "I like kids" she states and I freeze causing her to run into my back and we both tumble forward a bit.

"I mean, I'm scared what Ares might think" she whispers and I look over my shoulder seeing her head low as she looks at the ground, she's fine with the idea of kids but thinks that the motherfucker who gets up to bring her ice cream in the middle of the night, lets her calling him Olly, also known as a whipped old man would be angry about kids with the love of his life?

People tend to confuse me more than my own brain confuses me.

You love me

"Let's just get the tests" she blurts and I sigh, but before we could make it another step there's a voice behind us.

"What tests?" I can already feel those blue eyes on my back...

Shit, we both turn around slowly and are faced with a tired looking Sebastian who has a happy goose trailing behind him. When goose sees me he grins and runs towards me, smiling as I crouch down and pet him.

"Abby needs something" Ivy blurts and I try not to face palm.

His eyes fall to me and he raises an eyebrow, well what do I say now? "She meant tampons" I clear my throat and Ivy coughs as Sebastian stands there watching me pet his dog, "Ivy needs tampons" I say looking at her and she sighs nodding.

Well...She might not for 9 months...

"And you both need to go?" he asks as his left hand lightly grabs his right shoulder, Goose places a kiss on my cheek and we both nod.

"Abandonment issues" Ivy says with a grin and he glares at her, she sends him an air kiss and my eyes widen a bit when his hand goes into the air and catches it only to throw it on the floor and step on it. See, again with the people confusing me.

She rolls her eyes, "Who's driving you?" he questions. I feel like I'm back in that room with John when he was forcing answers out of me when the whole Rachel scandal started...But I'm actually comfortable here.

"We can take a cab, uber, taxi?" I suggest Ivy and she goes to talk but Sebastian does, "Yeah, no. I'll drive you two, let's go" he says pulling on the blazer that was resting on his arm and my eyes widen.

But then he'll see what we buy.

"It's fine, really," Ivy says when I pinch her leg.

"We'll be fine" I say and he scoffs, "The only reason I'm offering is because Ares would kill me if Ivy got kidnapped, and Ivy gets scared by the stupidest shit. Get in the car" he says and Ivy glares at him. Ouch, that one kinda hurt.

"Be nice" she grits under her breath and I look down to Goose, it kinda seems like he could care less about me. Stop blaming him for it Abby, you hurt him first you're just getting his hate. It was all your fault in the first place.

Goose places his paw on my knee and kisses my face softly making me chuckle lightly, at least Goose cares. He's my favourite man anyways, and Doja cat always says 'men ain't shit' she's right. Except for Goose, Goose is the best.

"Six is a good number" I shrug, crossing my arms and she nods, picking up 6 pregnancy tests, Ivy glared at Sebastian until he agreed to stay in the car.

"What if he's angry?" she asks as I grab three from her and we start walking towards the counter, "I'll kill him" I mutter and she whines.

"But I kinda love the man, Abby" she groans lightly and I roll my eyes, "He'd never be angry about starting a family with you" I explain as we walk through the lanes.

She grabs a chocolate bar and shrugs, "It's just that...Well we didn't plan this" she mutters and I chuckle before covering it with a cough. She elbows me when we reach the counter and drop the tests along with the chocolate.

The teenage girl looks at us with wide eyes, her eyes going from the tests to us over and over again. I raise an eyebrow and he clears his throat, my eyes fall to his name tag. 'Elli'

"Wait, you're Abby Madden-right?" she asks as she starts scanning our stuff and I give her a small smile as I nod, she bites down on her lip as she grabs a bag.

"I am so fangirling right now" she whispers to herself and I chuckle, I've done a few shows in Italy before so that's probably why she knows me. And well...I'm on covers for magazines.

Ivy leans her head on my shoulder and sighs, "How will you be paying?" she looks at me with the biggest grin ever and I can't help but smile as I bring out my card. She pulls out the machine and I tap my card.

"Could I get a picture, please?" she asks holding her phone as she hands me the plastic bag, I give it to Ivy as she smiles at me. "Of course"

Before I could even finish my sentence she's running around the register and throws her arm around my shoulders, okay then. Smiling at the camera as she clicks a few pictures and she squeals looking at her phone.

"Hey, if you're posting these anywhere, could you post these pictures after an hour or so when we're out of this area? Paparazzi is a hand full" I chuckle a bit, rubbing the back of my neck and she hums looking at her phone.

"Have a good day" she says and I give her a last smile as me and Ivy walk out of the store.

"Aww, look at Abby being nice" Ivy coo's and I roll my eyes as we walk towards Sebastian's car, which just happens to be a fucking lotus evora. Yeah he has a black lotus evora with while and black accents. Lucky ass.

I love this car.

I open the door for her and she mutters something about me being rude when I shove her into the backseat, pushing the seat back before getting in myself and closing the door.

"Can we get ice cream?"
