" Oh God ! He's going to kill me , he's definitely going to kill me but that would be stupid because if he kills me then his baby dies, right ? Oh God no ! Leonardo is rich, he'll probably hire some expensive doctor to take out the baby alive out of my DEAD body ! Actually No ! That would make the baby hate him and I know for a fact that he doesn't want his child to hate him, right ? God why did I keep the pregnancy from him ? I mean... I wouldn't be panicking right now if I told him about it--WAIT !! I don't think Rubi would necessarily mention my pregnancy out of the blue... I mean, nobody knew that I was messing with Leonardo so why would she mention my pregnancy to my ex-boss ? I'm just overreacting, I'm probably exaggerating and besides even if he finds out I'll just tell him that I tried to tell him at the hospital but he didn't give me a chance, YES ! IT'S HIS FAULT ! YES IT IS ! He did tell me to keep my distance after all, I was simply following his orders . Who am I kidding ? Leonardo is definitely going to kill me. " I paced back and forth in my living room while talking to myself, it's been an hour since I got back from the restaurant and I've been in panic mode ever since but hey ! Can you blame me ? This is Leonardo Reigns we're talking about.

" Let me take a bath, that will probably h--" a knock on the door interrupted me causing me to completely freeze, Oh God he's here ! At least he has the decency to knock , he'll probably murder me respectably.

I quickly walked from the living room into the kitchen and grabbed one of my biggest knives before approaching the door. I'm probably exaggerating but again, this is Leonardo Reigns we're talking about.

I approached the door with the knife in my hand. Whoever was behind the door knocked again and I quickly snatched the door open with my knife pointed at them but instantly regretted it when I came face to face with De'arra and Ken .

" WOAH ! I said I was sorry about that slime prank " Ken said leaned back, avoiding the knife from touching his face.

"I-- uhmm... Yeah, you better be sorry boo ! " I said nervously laughing, hoping they would buy this slobby act.

" Amanda ! My weave almost fell off, dang ." De'arra said with her hand on her chest before pushing past me and entering with a laughing Ken behind her , thank God they bought it.

" That's for all the pranks you both have pulled on me. " I said before putting the knife behind my back and closing the door after Ken.

" Can you get me a bottle of water sis ? " Ken yelled from the living room.

" I gotchu . " I yelled back while walking into the kitchen. I placed the knife on the knives holder before leaning on the counter, taking a deep breath. I need to calm down before I start loosing my mind, Rubi probably didn't tell him . I got off the counter and grabbed 2 bottles of water for me and Ken and a bottle of Cranberry juice for De'arra before heading towards the living room.

"Ken catch ! Here D ." I threw Ken his bottle of water and handed De'arra her juice .

" Thank you baby, how's my niece ? " she asked before taking a sip of her juice.

"What about her mother ? You're not going to ask how I'm doing ? " I asked with a fake pout on my lips.

" Well I was going to ask about you after . " she said shrugging .

" Y'all need to stop addressing my nephew as a 'she ' , it's a BOY ! Non' less, non' more just that, Periodt pooh ! " Ken said mimicking D and I couldn't help but laugh at his impersonation of her while De'arra mugged the hell out of him.

" Boo Bye ! Did you choose the movie already ? Me and Ken already ordered the food. " De'arra said while taking off her shoes and getting comfortable on the couch.

" Uhmm... movie ? " I said looking between De'arra and Ken.

"Yes ? It's movie night , remember ? " De'arra said before chuckling.

"Movie night... right ! I totally forgot but we can choose one together. " I said while rubbing my temples, feeling a migraine coming.

" You never forget movie nights Mandy ." Ken said with one of his eyebrows raised while looking at me

" Yea , what's wrong boo ? What hoe do I gotta beat up ? " De'arra said looking at me with her head tilted to the side.

" De'arra ! " Ken said scolding her .

" What ? I have a lawyer . " she rolled her neck before turning to look at me again.

" Thank you D but I'm honestly fine, I just had a long day and I'm tired but I swear that is all." I said shrugging

"We could reschedule the movie night if you want " the last thing I needed was to be alone in this apartment so I shook my head.

"No ! Stay, I need the company. " I said snuggling closer to De'arra .

"Well you guys can pick the movie and I'll go get the food because it just arrived. " Ken said while heading towards the door .

"What do want to watch babe ?" De'arra asked before picking up the remote

" Nobody's Fool ? " De'arra cheered before searching for it .

09 : 06 AM

"Gosh I'm starving !" I said before getting out of bed and stretching . I dragged myself into the bathroom, washed my face and brushed my teeth . Me, De'arra and Ken slept late yesterday , we probably watched like 3 movies because they only went home at 3 AM in the morning. Having D and Ken around is always fun , they made me forget all about my problems and of course they were good company .

I threw on a oversized t-shirt over my underwear, ever since my belly got bigger I have been sleeping naked or in my underwear, it's more comfortable I guess . I wore my slides and exited my room. I walked into the kitchen and immediately went into the refrigerator . I probably stood there for 15 minutes deciding on what to eat.

" Baby do you want fruit and waffles ? Mommy is too lazy to make anything else, Fruit it is !" I said grabbing strawberries, berries and some dark grapes before closing the refrigerator with my hip. I dropped the fruit on the kitchen counter and grabbed a bowl from the shelf above me. I put the fruit in the bowl before rinsing it out , I walked to my pantry and grabbed some waffle mix and the waffle maker . Within 6 minutes, I was done with my ' breakfast ' .

"Lemme grab some juice ! " I went to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of apple juice and a bottle of water . I closed the refrigerator , grabbed the bowl and walked into the living room. I sat my bowl down and the juice and water before sitting down and grabbing the remote.

" What do you want to watch ba-- dang ! You know what I forgot ? Some syrup ! For God's sake marn, I'm already sitting down !" I said whining while kicking my feet , do you know how hard it is to walk around with a pregnant belly ?

"I'll get it for you. " my heart instantly dropped when I heard his voice , I turned and looked behind me where I heard his voice coming from and there stood Leonardo, leaning on my wall looking calm as ever .

" Is there anything else that you'd like me to grab for you in the kitchen baby mother ? " he asked still leaning on the wall .

" Leonardo there's no nee-- " I started but he cut me off.

" Is there anything else ? " he asked again but this time slowly.

" N-No . " I said before turning in my seat and facing the front.

" I'll be right back then ." he said before heading into the kitchen, a second later he came back with my bottle of syrup. How did he know where I put my syrup ?

"Here ." he said giving me the syrup before sitting on the chair opposite me.

" Thank you." I said lowly before grabbing the syrup and pouring it all over my fruit and waffles.

" You're welcome baby mother. " he said leaning back on the couch , okay here we go.

" Leonardo can we talk ? " i asked while looking at him.

" No ! You need to eat , you did say that you were starving, didn't you ? Now eat . " he said before pulling out his phone and typing away, paying me no mind . Okay ...

I grabbed a fork and started eating some of my fruit and within minutes, the bowl was empty. I leaned forward to grab my juice from the table but I couldn't reach.

" I got it. " Leonardo said before grabbing the juice from the table and handing it to me, taking the bowl from me.

" Thanks ? " I grabbed the juice from him and took a sip while still looking at him, why isn't he barking at me right now ? He's way too calm .

"You're welcome ." he said before sitting back on his seat again.

" Uhmm... I think we need to talk. " I said after moments of silence.

"You think ? So you're not certain ? " he asked still leaned back on his seat , he ain't going to make this easy.

" Leonardo can you stop wi-- " he scoffed before leaning forward and resting his arms on his knees .

" Why ? Why didn't you tell me Amanda ? " he asked while staring at me with an unreadable expression, I cleared my throat before speaking .

" I tried, believe me ! I really tried Leonardo." he scoffed again but rolling his eyes this time.

" You tried ? Okay . You tried and what happened ? " he asked with his eyebrows raised, still staring at me.

" I tried telling you at the hospital but you didn't give me a chance, you kept speaking over me ." I said and my eyes started burning , the water works is definitely coming !

" Are you re--Amanda you could've j-- Fuck !" he yelled before covering his face with his hands, heavily breathing .

" I'm sorry . " I said softly with my head hung low and tears slowly fell down my face.

" Amanda do you know what you robbed me ? you should've told me, you know where I work and live ! Why didn't you SAY ANYTHING ? HUH ?! " he said raising his voice a little , making me jump in my seat and I started sobbing harder. I hate being yelled at !

" YOU TOLD ME TO FUCKING KEEP MY DISTANCE LEONARDO ! YOU TOLD ME TO LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK SO PLEASE ! DON'T YOU FUCKING SIT THERE AND PUT THE BLAME ON ME BECAUSE I TRIED TO TELL YOU BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME . DO YOU THINK I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THIS ALL BY MYSELF ? HUH ?! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT HAS BEEN FOR ME FOR THESE PAST FEW MONTHS ? " I yelled with tears coming out of my eyes .

" I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM THE FAMILY BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YOU MIXED UP WITH THE SHIT THAT WE DO AMANDA ! YOUR ABDUCTION WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEE THAT YOU DON'T BELONG WITH US OR THE WORLD WE LIVE IN . WE - I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU , I CARE ABOUT YOU A LOT. " he yelled back at me, I know this man did not just say that he cared about me.

" YOU CARE ? WHAT ? THAT'S SO IRONIC , IT REALLY IS . I MEAN... IT'S FUNNY YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE YOU LITERALLY FIRED ME FROM MY JOB AND LEFT ME WITH NO SOURCE OF INCOME, THAT'S ONE WAY TO SHOW ME THAT YOU CARE. "

" So that's why you decided to keep me away from my child Amanda ? " he said barely above a whisper but I heard him.

" No ! It honestly wasn't my intentions to keep you or my family away from the baby , I was just scared. I'm scared of disappointing my parents and I was also scared that you wouldn't want the baby . " I mumbled the last part, with my head hung low and tears pouring down my face.

" Your family doesn't know ? " he asked and I just shook my head.

" And what makes you think that I wouldn't want the baby ? You know how much I lo--adore you , I wouldn't want anybody to carry my children but you. You do know that don't you ? " he asked softly with his fingers under my chin forcing me to look up .

" I'm sorry Leonardo . " I said still avoiding eye contact.

" It's already done, we can’t change it now . " he shrugged

" You're not mad ? " I questioned looking at him.

" Mad ? No I'm not mad, I'm fucking fuming . " he said calmly, still looking at me.

" Leonardo i-- " he cut me off before I could finish.

" But I guess you had your reasons for not telling me, I don't agree or understand them but I respect them. " he said before pecking me on my forehead, okay...

" So you don't want to... kill me ? " I looked up at him, waiting for his response.

" No I do not want to kill you Amanda , of course not . " he said gripping my neck with his giant hands.

" B-but I didn't tell you abou-- "

"Even so, I'd never intentionally hurt you ." I looked up at him while he looked down at me.

" But if you really are sorry, you'll have dinner with me later on today . "

"D-Dinner ? Are you asking me out ? " I asked while looking at the floor, hiding my obvious blush .

" What ? No, I just want us to catch up and talk about the baby ." he chuckled while patting my shoulder .

" Yes ! Of course, I mean... Yea, to catch up, of course . " I stumbled on my words, obviously embarrassed for thinking that he actually wanted to catch up with me.

" I'll be here at 8 tonight, be ready . " he smirked before winking at me and walking out the door, not giving me another glance. I quickly grabbed my phone off the table and dialed the first number that came to head.

"De'arra , how fast can you get here ?! " I said as soon as she picked up.

I care about Amanda, a lot but hey ?! I couldn't possibly let what she did go unnoticed, I can't physically hurt her but nobody said anything about messing with her.

" This is going to be one eventful dinner . " I said entering my car and pulling off while chuckling.
