《The Fighter》Chapter 13

*Authors note- this is a long chapter because I couldn't figure out how to divide it up, so enjoy!!*
The next week was absolutely crazy. I had gone full force into work and I was keeping myself busy. I ended up sleeping over at Titus's almost every night after I met up with him at the gym.
By Wednesday I brought my computer over to Titus's place and I was working while hanging out with Mason. By Friday, Titus asked me to move in with him. It was really cute seeing him all nervous. I said yes and Mason was so excited we started moving my stuff that week.
The following two weeks before Titus's match he was getting super stressed. He was working out three times a day and I barely saw him. I took over caring for Mason, and I finally met Marie when she came over one day to visit. She was very sweet and she told me she was proud that Titus had found someone.
A few days before the fight I was out with Mason shopping for groceries and Titus was training. Mason and I were carrying up the bags when we walked up to the door where a passed-out Megan was laying.
"Is she okay?" Mason asked in shock, and I asked him to bring the groceries inside. I felt her neck for a pulse and let myself breathe once I found one. She was freezing and she had a mark on her arm where she had obviously done heroin. I pulled out my phone and I called Titus and I swore when he wouldn't pick up. I then called Coach and he didn't pick up either. Finally, I called Kate who answered.
"Hi, I just got out of work," She said and I sighed.
"I need a huge favor," I said. She came over right away and I got Mason to unload some groceries while Kate and I stood over Megan trying to decide what to do.
"This is his Mom?" She said to me as we looked at Megan who was still passed out.
"I just need you to watch him until I figure out what to do with her," I said and Kate nodded her head and went inside.
"Megan," I said, shaking her and she groaned.
"Come on, I need to get you to the car," I said and she nodded her head and stood up, falling over. I held her up to the elevator and then got her to Kate's car.
"Tell me if you feel sick," I said and she groaned as I buckled her seatbelt.
"You fucked up my high," she said as she came to. I rolled my eyes and I looked over at her.
"I am sorry for ruining your high. I am trying to avoid your son seeing you like this," I said and she passed back out. I called Titus again and he ignored my calls. I then headed to the gym feeling my anger rising.
"He will never love you fully, I ruined him for anyone," Megan said with a smirk, her words slower than usual as I parked the car in front of the gym.
I got her out of the car and she swore at me for moving her. I helped her walk into the gym and I slammed open the door. I looked around and I saw Coach, Titus, and Dante were all chatting. Megan tried to pull my arm off of her and I let go of her and she stumbled to the ground and she glared at me. I looked at Titus who was looking at us in shock.

"I was trying to get groceries when Mason and I saw your heroin-addicted baby mamma outside of our door," I said and I walked away slamming the door shut behind me. I walked back to Kate's car and I heard Titus calling my name, and he held my arm as I turned around to face an apologetic Titus.
"Don't be mad, I am sorry I was distracted," he said and I took a deep breath.
"She was left outside the door. Mason saw her and thought she was dead," I said and Titus's face went hard.
"Did you tell him?" He asked me and I looked at him like he was crazy.
"No I didn't but you should have been there with us. I understand you have to train, but I am doing everything. I am cooking, cleaning, watching Mason, working, buying groceries, and now I am taking care of your drug-addicted ex," I said and Titus pulled me into a kiss.
"I will take care of her, and I appreciate you and what you are doing. I will be home once I find a place for her," Titus said and I nodded my head. I got into Kate's car and I drove back home. Once I got there Kate and Mason had baked cookies for me and it was so thoughtful it made me cry.
"That was so sweet," I said and Mason hugged me and handed me a cookie.
"Are you okay?" Kate asked me once Mason ran to play.
"I am just super overwhelmed," I said and she gave me a hug.
"Just a few more days," she said to me and I nodded my head. I grabbed another cookie as Kate left to go home. I grabbed the stuff to make meatballs and I started making them.
By the time Titus returned I had just finished cooking dinner and I was sitting at the table finishing my analysis of a book, also while helping Mason draw his letters. I heard the door open and Mason ran over to Titus and gave him a hug and I didn't even bother to look as I finished my last sentence. I submitted it and then I looked over at Titus.
Titus was standing there with flowers and candy and I smiled at him.
"I am sorry baby," he said as he kissed me and I hugged him tightly.
"I am sorry too, it wasn't fair for me to take my stress out on you," I said and he sighed and handed me the roses.
"It is fair if most of the stress is from me," he said and I put my computer back in the living room.
"Mason, come put your school stuff away," I yelled at Mason who had run to his room. I then put the flowers in a vase and I went to put the spaghetti on plates for us when Titus brought me over to the table and sat me down.
"What are you doing?" I asked him and he made the plates, and he handed it to all of us.
"You need to relax," he said and I looked at him like he was crazy.
"I can make a plate of food," I said laughing and Mason watched both of us completely entertained.
"Just eat," Titus said to me firmly and I dug into the food. After we were done Titus put away the food and washed the dishes. I watched him trying to figure out what he was doing.

"Are you trying to suck up because you feel bad that you upset me? Or are you sucking up because you are about to do something you know will upset me?" I asked him and he turned around while drying a dish.
"I am trying to make up for not helping out around here," He said, giving me a shitty grin. And I opened up a peanut butter cup and ate it while watching him.
"Go watch a movie or something," Titus said to me and I grabbed a cookie and the other peanut butter cup. I sat in the living room and I turned on The Office. Titus joined me and he pulled me into his chest and we cuddled for a while until he looked at the time and it was 8 pm.
"I have to go back to the gym, but I am going to drop off Mason at my Mom's for the night. Starting tomorrow she is going to start watching him from 7am to 12pm like she used to when I was alone," he said and I looked up at him.
"I don't mind watching him," I said, feeling bad about complaining now.
"No, I should have been doing this since you moved in. It isn't fair of me to put all of this on you and not help at all," Titus said, kissing me.
"Okay," I said, accepting the help he was offering.
"Mason we are leaving in five minutes," Titus screamed to him and then he whispered in my ear.
"I better find you in bed later," He said before kissing me and I smiled as we kissed.
Once they left I decided to take a bath and actually relax for once. After I was done I put on one of Titus's shirts and I went to bed and turned on a random rom-com movie. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to someone kissing my neck.
"I'm back baby," Titus said into my ear and I turned around and he kissed me.
"How was practice?" I asked and Titus lifted up my shirt to suck my nipple.
"I was just thinking about getting back to you the entire time," he said and I moaned as he sucked my other nipple, they felt more sensitive than normal. He then trailed his kisses lower and he kissed my thigh. He then took my clit in his mouth and I gasped. He moved his tongue in slow agonizing circles and I was squirming trying to get some sort of release.
"Stay still," he said and I gripped the sheets to try and listen. I was practically panting as he ate me out as slow as possible. He flipped me over and he fingered me as he reached for a condom. He slid it on and he entered me from behind and I moaned as he instantly hit my g-spot
He fucked me slowly, torturing me as he took his sweet time. He left kisses all over my neck, shoulders, and back as he did it and my entire body was completely overstimulated. I felt myself surprisingly cum and that was when Titus picked up speed. I was flipped over so he could look at me, and he kissed me as he cummed.
"You are amazing," he said to me and I kissed him.
"No, you are," I said, cuddling up to his chest, falling asleep. The next day I woke up and Titus was gone but when I walked out into the kitchen Titus had left me a muffin and a full pot of coffee. I smiled at his thoughtfulness and I ate as I read a book I was supposed to make changes to. In the middle of it, Titus walked in and he smiled at me and I smiled at him.
"Hey babe," he said and I got up and kissed him, making sure to save my work first.
"Hey! Are you hungry?" I asked him and he handed me a plastic bag.
"What is this?" I asked and I looked down and it was a pregnancy test.
"Megan was all over the place emotion-wise until she first found out. I remembered it yesterday when I drove her to rehab," Titus said looking down at me and I was shocked.
"Is that why you were being so nice to me?" I crossed my arms and he kissed me.
"No, I just realized how much stress you were under," he said and I smiled nervously at him.
"Don't you want to wait until after the fight?" I asked and he shook his head no.
"It won't change anything for me," He said and I nodded my head, suddenly feeling very nervous.
"Will you stay with me?" I asked and he kissed my head. We walked into the bathroom and he sat on the sink as I peed on the stick. We waited the full five minutes and it was finally time to look.
"Negative," I said looking at the stick and he looked at it in shock.
"I was so sure," he said before shrugging his shoulders.
"I am offended you think I am being moody," I said to him, throwing the test in the garbage and he kissed me and sent me an apologetic look.
"I have two hours until I get Mason," he said, carrying me to the bed as I giggled. He grabbed a condom as I kissed him. Once we were finished Titus went to throw away the condom.
"Uh Quinn," he said, and I threw on his t-shirt and I walked over to him in the bathroom. He was holding the pregnancy test and it now said positive.
"No fucking way," I said grabbing it and looking at it.
"Take another one," he said, handing me the other one and I read the box.
"The box says it is the most accurate first thing in the morning," I said and he handed me the stick still.
"I will go buy ten more boxes, just pee on this stick," he said and I looked at him.
"I don't have to go yet," I said and he ran in with my water and I started chugging it. Titus then put on the faucet and I tried to move around to get the pee flowing. I felt the urge to pee and I peed on the stick and we waited. Like before at five minutes it was negative but about ten minutes later it turned positive.
"I am buying more boxes," Titus said, throwing on his pants and a sweatshirt.
"Just keep chugging water," he said, before running out of the room. I just turned on the television and I rolled my eyes. Half an hour later Titus walked back in with a bag full of tests. He dumped them on the bed and I looked at him shocked.
"These are expensive," I said as I counted 20 pregnancy tests, all different brands.
"I wanted to get every option," He said and he grabbed four different tests.
"These all say results before your missed period," He said, opening up the four different boxes and handing them to me.
"I have to pee on all of them?" I asked him and he nodded his head.
"This way we can be sure," he said and I stood up and he smacked my butt and I scoffed at him and grabbed the tests out of his hands. He walked into the bathroom with me and I peed on all four sticks. I set them down and we both sat there watching them. One by one they each said 'pregnant' within minutes and I looked at Titus in shock.
"We are having a baby," I said and he smiled down at me.
"We are having a baby," he said and I leaned up and kissed him with a few tears running down my face.
"This is crazy, you have super sperm," I said to him, wiping my tears, and he laughed.
"After you have this one we will use condoms for a while," he said and I agreed.
"We should wait to tell people right?" I said and he nodded his head.
"We should wait until the second trimester," He said and I was still in shock.
"I have to go and get Mason," he said and I thought about him.
"Is Mason going to be pissed? There isn't enough room in this apartment for a baby," I said, worrying about Mason hating me and this baby. Titus pulled me close and kissed me.
"Mason is going to be excited because he will gain a sibling, plus that means he gets to keep you in his life forever. And we can look for a bigger place," he said and I nodded my head.
"Okay, we can do this," I said and he nodded his head.
"It will be okay," he said and I kissed him.
"Can I come with you?" I asked and he smiled.
"Of course you can," he said and I went into the closet and I threw on a sweatshirt and sweatpants. We headed out the door and I thought of us creating a family together and it made me so giddy and excited. I watched as Titus drove and I realized I would never get tired of looking at him, even when he was old and wrinkly.
We drove to Nanny Marie's house and we both walked up to go get Mason. Titus opened the door and he was ambushed by Mason who ran and hugged him. Titus picked him up and when Mason leaned so I could hold him Titus wouldn't let go.
"Quinn!! It is so nice to see you!" Marie said, pulling me into a hug.
"It is nice to see you too, thank you for watching Mason," I said and she smiled.
"It is no problem at all," She said to us and we said our goodbyes and Titus put Mason in his car seat.
"You know I can hold him," I said to Titus once he shut the door.
"I know, I just want to be cautious," he said, pulling me in for a kiss.
"Do you both want to come to the gym with me?" He asked us and Mason screamed yes and I agreed to come along. Once we got there we walked into the gym and it was filled with people. They all greeted Mason, and then me.
I sat down on a bench with Mason and we watched while Titus trained and it reminded me of the first day I had seen him here. He winked at me while jump roping and I blushed and looked down at Mason who was watching Ryan and some other guy box each other in the ring.
They took a break and Ryan waved at us, and we waved back.
"Wanna throw some punches, Mase," Ryan said and Mason looked up at me and I nodded at him and he ran over and the other guy helped him up. Ryan held the pads and he gave Mason lessons on how to throw a good punch and corrected his posture while punching. I was so busy watching I didn't notice Titus walking over. He shocked me as he kissed me on my forehead before walking over to the punching bags.
I watched Titus as he punched the bags and his muscles all contracted. He was so concentrated and he had sweat dripping everywhere. I must have missed Mason calling me because all of a sudden he screamed out.
"Mom!" He finally said and both Titus and I turned to look at him shocked. I looked at Mason and he was waiting for me to watch and I let out a smile.
"I am watching," I said to him, trying to control my pulse which was going crazy in excitement. Mason just said that so easily, it was like he had considered me his mom for a while. I watched as he threw some punches at Ryan who was laughing and I clapped for him once he finished. He ran over to me and I caught him as he hopped into my lap.
"That was great, I think you can beat your Dad in a boxing match," I said and he giggled as I tickled him.
The door opened and in walked Megan this time I could tell she was drunk and she was stumbling around. I kept on tickling Mason and I looked over at Titus and he swore as he saw her, and he walked over to her.
"Hey, Mason!! Yahoo!! Mason!!" She said and Titus was trying to pull her out of the gym.
"Is she saying my name?" Mason said, standing up to get a better look, and I shook my head.
"No, she said Kason, the new guy," I said and he nodded his head.
"Will you teach me to run fast like you one day?" Mason asked me, as he laid his head down on my chest and I watched as Titus and Megan argued and he grabbed her arm and dragged her away from the gym.
"You will be even faster," I promised and he cuddled up to me. Titus walked back and yelled for Ryan. Ryan walked over and he threw some keys at Titus.
"I am driving you guys home," Ryan said to us and I nodded my head, and I picked up Mason and carried him to the car. He was fast asleep so he didn't see his parents arguing outside of Ryan's car.
Once we got to the apartment I carried Mason upstairs and I laid him in his bed and I just watched him sleep for a moment. He was just so peaceful and seemed so innocent. I wanted him to never find out about Megan or all of the drama which seemed to follow her.
I left Mason's room and I went into the living room and I decided to finish the book I was editing. I finished that and Titus still wasn't back. I looked at the time and it was already 3 pm.
I couldn't help but wonder what was taking Titus so long. I was frustrated that Megan decided that now was the time to get to know her son. She was going to end up just hurting Mason and Titus would be left to pick up the pieces. I was also worried that Titus was going to be distracted by her and not do well tomorrow with Jason.
I heard my phone start to ring and I picked it up instantly, seeing Titus's name on the phone.
"Hey," I answered.
"I am so sorry for leaving you guys. I needed to get Megan away from here. I don't know what to do with her," Titus said, sounding frustrated.
"I am fine, and Mason didn't even notice," I said, trying to ease his nerves and he let out a sigh.
"I have to get back to the gym but I will be home around 7 for dinner and I won't leave the rest of the night," he said and I smiled at the fact that he would be here all night.
"Okay. I love you and we will see you once you get back," I said.
"I love you too, bye," He said before hanging up. I heard little footsteps and Mason climbed onto my lap and laid down. He seemed upset and I held him in my arms.
"What is up Mase?" I said, looking down at him.
"I had a bad dream," he said and I frowned as I looked down at him.
"What was it about?" I asked him and he looked up at me.
"I had a dream that you left and I was calling for you and you couldn't hear me, and I was left all alone," He said and I wanted to cry at how sad he looked.
"I would never leave you," I promised and he smiled and hugged me.
"How about we go shopping for Christmas presents for Dad?" I said to him and that perked him up right away.
