《Reaper's Girl》Chapter 22: Break downs
Advertisement
"I see your still sentenced to the couch," Hacker points out, everyone else around the bar snickers while nursing their beers. "Aniya still refuses to let me sleep in our bed," I reply exasperated Alana giggles before saying "Maybe if you make her favorite food for her she'll forgive you." "I mean she is a sucker for food," Dalia agrees, taking a sip of her mimosa."Small problem...Reaper doesn't know how to cook anything above simple and Aniya's favorite food is Crown Roast of Lamb," Emma states handing me a beer as I sit at the bar. "Thank Emma for informing everyone of my inability to cook my womans favorite food," I say glaring at her causing Prez to hit the back of my head and glare at me. "I'll try and make this crown roast thing, and ill most likely fail," I say getting up and getting the keys to my truck. "Where are you going?" Prez asks, "I'm going to the store to get some damn ingredients, it's the only hope I got to get out of the dog house!" I yell out as I head to my truck, here goes nothing...
Last night was horrible without Drake, Kai kept crying for him in the middle of the night and I could barely sleep. "Mommy I want daddy!" Kai continues to scream and cry as I just hold him close. "Daddy will be back soon hon, he went to the store to pick up some stuff," I say trying to rock him while I walk down the hall to the kitchen/bar. I set Kai down on the counter as I fix him something to eat.
I finally finish making kai a sandwich and some apple sauce on the side. As I try feeding Kai some apple sauce he pushes away the spoon causing the apple sauce to splatter all over my shirt. "NO, I WANT DADDY!" Kai yells starting up his temper tantrum again. I'm too tired to even try calming him down. As Kai continued to scream and cry I started to cry to sinking to the ground where I placed Kai. As we both cry a prospect came into the kitchen and asked: "Hey hey are you ok?" I didn't answer but continued to sob on the floor in emotional pain and stress.
Soon enough the prospect comes back with Prez, Hacker, and Alana"Hey it's ok you need to calm down stress isn't good for you or the little bean," Alana says softly as Prez and Hacker help me off the floor. "I can't take it anymore I-I am s-so tired...I-I miss D-drake and K-ai won't s-stop crying," I sob out, putting my hands on the counter to support me. Alana hugs me as I continue to cry "It's ok to let it all out, Prez can you call up Drake and Marcus take Kai outside and keep him busy," Alana says slowly leading me to her medical room. "Hey, ya know Drake misses you too he was planning on making you your favorite dish for dinner," Alana says helping me lay down on the medical cot.

"R-really," I say quietly my voice quivering from crying. "Yes, he misses you both even if it's only been less than 24 hours," Alana says with a small smile. I try returning her gesture with a small tired smile. "I know you're tired so why don't you stay here and try and get some sleep I can tell you're exhausted," Alana says getting up and walking out the room. As she leaves my eyes slowly close as I drift into a deep sleep...
As I finish at the check out my phone rings, I take out my phone and see that Prez is calling me.
Drake: Hello?
Prez: You need to get back to the compound, Aniya's finally hit her breaking point brother.
Drake: What do you mean breaking point?
Prez: One of the prospects found her and Kai crying in the kitchen, I guess she gave up on calming Kai down.
Drake: I'm on my way right now.
I practically sprint to my car, throwing the items in the back seat and speeding off towards the compound. I jump out of the car and run inside to compound to see a screaming Kai in Hackers lap. "I can see why Aniya gave up on calming you down," He says bouncing Kai on his knee. "Hey, buddy what's wrong?" I asked walking up to them to two and picking up Kai. "D-daddy why y-you leave?" Little Kai asks calming down his sobs. "I didn't leave buddy I just went to get some groceries," I say rocking him and rubbing his back.
Soon Kai falls asleep and I head upstairs to put him to bed when I just realized I never checked on Aniya. I quickly run downstairs to be met with everyone at the bar. "Where is she?!" I ask frantically "She's in the medical room sleeping, Kai was crying all last night for you and she didn't get any sleep," Emma says sheepishly. "She was crying in the kitchen covered in apple sauce that Kai threw at her," Alana says wiping the countertop.
"I'm gonna go check on her," I say almost whispering, As I enter the room I see Aniya laying on one of the medical costs, her face stained with tears and her shirt holding apple sauce stains. I sit in the chair next to the bed and gently take her hand in mine. "D-drake?" Aniya asks softly as her beautiful brown eyes flutter open. "Hey, are you ok?" I ask while pulling her into my lap sitting on the bed. "I'm fine now that you are here, I'm sorry for kicking you out of the room last night," Aniya replies softly caressing my cheek. It's ok, babe I understand why you did it, "I did insult something that was important to you, so I should be sorry," I apologize caressing her stomach.

"You can come back to bed tonight," Aniya finally says after a while of rubbing her tummy and feeling the baby kick. I nod and say "Our little girl is very active isn't she," I say as she kicked my hand. "You mean little boy right?" She asks giving me a smug look. "It's defiantly a girl," I whisper in her ear chuckling as she continues to glare at me. "Why don't we go get you some food before Kai wakes up," I say slowly getting up and helping Aniya out of the bed.
"How you feeling girl," Dalia asks as Drake helps me sit on one f the bar stools. "I'm feeling much better," I say happily. "So Reaper you still gonna make your girl dinner?" Hacker asks smugly. "I'll attempt to do that another day, I'm not wasteful," Drake says setting a bowl of ramen in front of me per my request. "Thank you babe and don't worry I will help you when you try and cook," I say blowing on the noodles to cool them off. He gives me a cheeky smile while going to talk with the other men while I stay and talk with Dalia, Emma, and Alana. "So I have some news," Alana says happily. "What is it?" Emma asks excitedly. "So Ace and I went to the doctors this morning and it turns out we're having a BOY!" Alana yells out grabbing my hands and both of us screaming in excitement.
"Omg if you have a girl we need to start planning their wedding," Emma says giddily. "My daughter will not be having any boyfriends until she is 30," Drake says menacingly as he and the guys walk back to the bar. "Oh common Reaper wouldn't you rather have your little girl date a boy born in the club than some random," Ace says smirking at Drake. "He's got a point babe," I say taking a sip of my diet coke. Drake didn't say anything after that and just walked upstairs grumbling as we laughed at his protectiveness.
"Hey Babe," I greet drake sitting on our bed as he has a sleeping Kai in his hands. "Hello my love," Drake says giving me a little kiss. "Can you help me set up to pump?" I ask getting the pump from off the dresser. "Yeah of course do you want one of my shirts?" He asks "Um...I'm not going downstairs so ill just keep my shirt off, could you just help me attach the pump," I reply taking off my shirt and bra gently trying not to touch my swollen breasts. I rest against the headboard as Drake helps me attach the pumps one at a time. "I know I already apologized but I really am sorry for what I did," Drake says as he leaves soft kisses on my neck.
"It's fine babe," I say as the baby starts to kick a bit more. "Your child is very active," I giggle out while rubbing my tummy. "Yes, she is," He says, I glare at him playfully. "I'm kind of scared babe," I whimper out quietly. Drake doesn't say anything but just gives me a nod to continue. "I'm scared our baby won't survive," I sob out. During my last OBGYN appointment, my doctor told me that my pregnancy is high risk and that our baby would most likely be born prematurely. "Don't think like that baby, our baby will push through if they are born premature," Drake says rubbing my tummy soothingly.
Drake sat with me as I cried for a while till my pump beeped telling me that the bottles were full. Drake removes the pumps and transfers the mile into freezer bags as I get ready to shower...
