Raven drove. Mind racing. No Idea where or how far she was going. Just driving. But her heart wouldn't let her leave the father of her unborn child. No matter how shitty he was to her or how ignorant he had become, something about him wouldn't allow her to leave.

She set the GPS back to their new home and cruises back making sure to park his car exactly how it was before she took it and creeping back into the house. She could hear him weeping from the bedroom and made her way to his side carefully. Leaving enough distance between the two just incase his crying was a hoax.

"I'm sorry, for.... for leaving. But you've been an ass to me since we got here. You said you wanted to start over, be a family, do anything to prove your love to me. But all you've been doing is proving your loyalty to your "business partners" who continuously make passes and touch me when you're not around. If you really love me tell me 10 things you love about me or I get to leave."

He nods and pull her close to him. Rubbing his hands along her fuzz covered belly. She was growing daily and he was impatiently waiting the arrival of his seed. And he could easily tell her ten things or more about what he loved about her.

"Ten things. Right off the top of my head?"

"Yes."

"I love how your eyes grow small when you smile that's how I know when something makes you genuinely happy or it's really funny. I love how you dance a little when we have cookies and ice cream. I love how you wake with messy hair and still find it necessary to lay up under me instead of getting pretty. I love the way you sing 80's and 90's love songs effortlessly while you cook or clean. I love how your skin glows when you start to relax and be happy again. I love how beautiful you look carrying my child. I love how I can sit and talk to you for hours about any and everything. I love your taste in music. I love how comfortable you are with your weight and how you love wearing your hair in its natural state. But what I love the most is how your willing to still make things work when I've been nothing but a bitch to you since I took you from the states. I love you Raven. I'm obsessed with you and only you."

He strokes her face pulling her onto his lap.

"Bet you could never name ten things." He says while wiping the tears from her face.

"I could before all of this. I want to go home Stephan we can be a family back home."

"How many times do I have to tell you no huh? Don't upset me Ray. I gave you my reasons so stop trying me."

"If you really loved me you'd let us go back."

"I SAID NO RAVEN THAT SHITS FINAL. WE'RE NOT GOING BACK WE'LL BE A FUCKIN FAMILY HERE AND YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT! Do you understand me?"

"Yes daddy....."

"I can't hear you."

"Yes daddy...."

They both sat in silence for a few minutes Raven terrified to move and Stephen gathering his thoughts. If anyone else was in the room that would believe Raven was having a Asthma attack from his heavy and fast she was breathing.

"I'm sorry princess. I'm gonna work on getting my shit together for you and the baby. Ok? You just piss me off sometime."

She gets up making sure to tug her robe back closed. "All the time you mean."

She leaves the room leaving him alone with his thoughts and heads to the pool to ease her mind. The only thing that had been keeping her sane was the water. It helped her keep everything together when he would tear things apart. When he would leave her sore she would run to the water to swim away the pain and help put herself to sleep. It helped her think of baby names when she would go for nightly swims and stare at the stars. But most of all it kept her active which kept the weight off.

This swim was different though it made her think about how stupid she was for coming back to Stephan but it also made her think about what he said to her. The whole him being obsessed with her was creeping her out and she wanted to know just how obsessed he was with her. She knew that he had stalked her the whole winter break and it landed her pregnant and stuck in Cancún. How far had he really gone? Was the whole thing with his friend getting shot a set up for him to be alone with her? Was it his way of getting her home and closer to her? She needed answers or she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight and after this lap she would get them.

Well after this lap, then shower, then dinner she would get her answers.

"Can we talk?"

"If it's about going home I already said no."

She snickers knowing that he'll eventually cave and agree to going home. He wanted to make her happy and as much as he didn't want to go to jail and wanted to be in his child's life, Raven would make it easy for him. But that wasn't what this was about. She wanted to know about the party. The event that began everything.

"What really caught your eye about me? You know after the party?"

"I had been watching you the whole party."

"Ok but it has to be deeper than that."

Raven wanted to hear him say that he had planned everything that had happened between them but she knew he wouldn't.

"Not really. Why does it matter now?"

At this point talking to him about anything was hopeless. He would lie about everything leading them up to this moment but Raven wasn't dumb. She knew that there was no way he had just been watching her the whole party and fell in love so quickly. The party led to him liking her not even 24 hours later, which she was now beginning to catch on to.

As she started to think back she would always see Stephan in the cafe, in a dining hall, or in the food court whenever she would be. When she would pull all nighters in the library he would be there too on the other side. These things most people would say are common but not at the beginning of the semester and not around 3 p.m. when all the food areas are usually empty. He always managed to find his way near her, walk past her and smile, sit at the table near here and stare occasionally, and she never realized it until now.

She would play along with him only because she wanted to go back home. Although she was fine where they were and she enjoyed living somewhat of the high life. Raven missed her family and best friend. If Stephan took her back now or even at all she would corroborate his story letting everyone know that she left willingly. Their child wouldn't grow up in a broken home and they could keep the house in Cancún as a vacation home in the summer.

"It matters because after you just watching me at a party, I ended up stranded with you in another country and pregnant. I need answers and I need them now E, this isn't adding up. There's no way you just saw me at the party and became obsessed with me. Just how obsessed are you?"

He laughs at how naive she is. This was his whole plan from the beginning she just didn't know where she knew him from. Stephan had been her preview counselor and had been watching her on snapchat the three weeks before school started. Ravens post always seemed to catch his eye and even though she never bothered to reply to his snaps she did once he changed his snap name and befriended her after the party. He always knew where she was because her location was on so he could see her on the snapmap or she used a geo-filter. She was pretty and quiet until she got alone with her friends then she was wild and ratchet or as she would say "doing hood rat shit with her friends". Besides her looks her taste in music made him even more curious about her.

"I've been watching you since preview. I've wanted you since preview. I told you after preview when you decided to let me hang with you and your friend that I would make you mine and you laughed saying you have a boyfriend. Now look at you. Mine and carrying my baby."

At this point everything about him had began to aggitate her and she no longer wanted to hear what was coming out of his mouth. She grabs her Ipod connecting it to the surround sound in the house blasting Be Careful x CardiB and singing at the top of her lungs to annoy him.

"Turn that shit down."

"YOU MIGHT HAVE A FORTUNE, BUT YOU LOOSE ME YOU GONE BE MISFORTUNATE."

He walks away trying to rid himself of her foolishness and let her have her little moment. He listens as her song choices switch from Resentment x Beyoncé to Should have cheated x Keisha Cole to Can't raise a man x K.Michelle and more of the sort.

Stephan knee he had hurt the love of his life and he wanted nothing more than to fix things with her. But he couldn't help but be a little crazy when it came to her. She was his work and they hadn't even known each other for a year yet. And now she was carrying his child.

His obsession had gone to far.

What if she found the clothing that he would steal from the dryer when she was washing? What if she found his box of pictures from the weeks leading up to the party and after preview. Or even worst she could find the files that he kept on her. Every detail, every happy, sad, heart breaking, life changing moment in her life documented by him. He knew everything about her and kept tabs on everything new.

If she asked him details about the last guy she was with he could tell her everything from his birth to now. Things that no one would think he would know. He would spend hours doing research and even went as far as getting background checks on every guy she met on tinder.

After looking over his her files he made his way back downstairs to her heartbroken music and the smell of her spaghetti. She looked gorgeous dancing around the kitchen and singing her heart out to the spoon. The way her robe exposed her small but growing stomach is what he loved the most. He was ready to be a dad.

"Smells good."

Raven rolled her eyes at his statement still not wanting to be bothered.

"I made enough for us two. You have to make your own..... unless you're ready to tell me the truth."

"I told you the truth Ray, I've liked you since preview. Once I followed you on snap. I kept tabs on you. I wanted you. I knew you were at the party but I was already going to be there. Brandon getting shot wasn't planned. You staying wasn't planned. Me falling in love with you, making you mine, and planting my seed was planned."

Lost for words she keeps her head low and continues to stir her spaghetti while he makes his way and wraps his arms around her pulling her close. She missed being next to him. And she missed how he would hold her lovingly like he was now instead of like a possession like he had been doing lately.

"I missed this." She says. "Can we go back to this? You loving me, not owning me."

He nods and wipes the tears falling down her face. He couldn't allow himself to stress her anymore. It wasn't healthy for her or the baby.

"Anything to keep you happy princess."
