Quote:
Don't hurt anyone even if they hurt you.
~Layla.~
I'm pregnant.
I didn't sleep all night thinking about it, i haven't told Toni anything yet. Last night before Katherine left i made her promise me that she wouldn't tell anyone until i was ready to tell them. I threw the sheets off of me making my way towards the closet.
Toni wasn't in the room he left early, today isn't work day so i'm guessing he is downstairs, i took out my outfit laying it on the bed, as i made my way towards the bathroom shutting the door behind me and locking it.
I walked over towards the counter, grabbing my tooth brush and brushed my teeth, when i was done i wiped my mouth, my hand shakily went towards the drawer, i slowly opened it moving the towel and picked up the test.
Looking down at the two lines, i sucked in a breath. Jumping when i heard a knock on the door, i quickly threw the pregnancy test in the drawer and shut it, making my way towards the bathroom door opening it catching beautiful blue eyes.
I smiled at him but confused when i saw him holding something behind him. "Good morning." He smiled kissing my forehead.
"Morning." I said, he slowly moved his hand from his back revealing beautiful roses. "Toni these are beautiful." I said in awe, slowly taking them from his hand smelling them. "How did you know i loved roses?" I asked looking up at him.
"Guessed." He winked, i chuckled looking at him lovingly but my smile slowly faded away when i thought of the baby. "Is there something wrong?" He asked worriedly.
I snapped out of my thoughts putting a fake smile on my face and nodded. "Yeah it's just i was thinking about Jennifer." I said and he nodded.
"She's a little mad at Jordan for letting Destiny stay." Toni said as he tightened his jaw. "He's such a fucking idiot." I grabbed his hand giving it a light squeeze.
"I need to changed i'll be down in a minute." I told him, he nodded wrapping his arm around my waist pulling me closer to his lips.
Giving me few pecks on the lips, before pulling away and quietly walking out of the room, i sighed looking down at the roses with a small smile playing on my lips, my hand slowly traveled down to my stomach.
I need to tell him, but what if he says he doesn't want it. I looked down at my stomach with a frown slowly putting the roses on the bed and slipping on my outfit i walked into the bathroom plugging him my straightener and straightened my hair, when i was done i quickly did my makeup and sprayed perfume then walked out of the bathroom.
I walked towards the door letting out a shaky breath before walking out of my room and shutting the door behind me, i walked downstairs carefully. Surprisingly the house was quiet and none of the maids were around.
I walked into the dining room to see everyone sitting in silence eating, Jennifer and Destiny were giving each other death stares as they sat beside Jordan who was sitting at the head of the table glaring at Toni who was sending him the same glare, Katherine looked up at me with a excited smile.
I sent her a small smile. "Good morning!" Katherine said making everyone look over at me.

I nodded. "Good morning." I smiled at all of them, slowly walking over sitting beside Toni and Kevin.
Finally noticing one maid who came towards me setting a plate of food in front of me, the smell of the food didn't smell nice as it did before, and i know it's the pregnancy. I tried holding back my throw up, i looked over at Kat who was staring at me with wide eyes.
I quickly grabbed my cup taking a few sips. "So." Destiny said breaking the silence making me look up at her and meet her gaze that was on me. "Layla? Was it?" I nodded. "How did you and Toni meet?" She asked making me look at Toni swallowing hard.
Toni cleared his throat glaring at his father before looking back at Destiny. "You already know and i already told you." He said through his clenched teeth, quickly grabbing his arm trying to calm him down.
"Toni, calm down." I whispered in his ear, feeling every muscle in his body relax.
Jordan threw a cherry in his mouth as he narrowed his eyes at Toni. "What is your problem?" He asked Toni.
Jennifer sighed shaking her head. "My problem is you bringing a woman who tried ruining yours and mom's relationship to your house thinking she has changed! Clearly she hasn't since she threatened your wife once again!" Toni shouted slamming his fist onto the table.
Jordan rolled his eyes. "Your mother didn't tell me anything, you must be lying!" He bit back, i held onto my forehead feeling like i was going to faint and throw up at the same time.
Kevin put his hand on my shoulder. "Are you alright?" He asked and i slowly nodded. "Enough!" Kevin shouted, standing up, before he could say anything Jennifer cut in.
"What the hell is wrong with the two of you?! You are son and father not enemies!" Jennifer said with tears running down her face, she flickered her eyes at the both of them but then looked over at Jordan. "For the love of god! It wasn't Toni's fault that Travis left! Stop blaming him!" She cried, Jordan stared at her with his face softening a bit.
I stood up clutching onto my forehead, i quickly cupped my mouth when i felt something arise in my throat, i quickly moved my chair and ran out of the dining room, running up the stairs forcing myself not to throw up all over the ground.
I quickly opened my room door and ran towards the bathroom, lifting up the toilet seat and let everything out, i felt my hair being pulled back while my back was being rubbed. "Oh darling." I heard Jennifer say as she rubbed my back.
I held my forehead as i stopped, flushing the toilet and turning on the sink washing my mouth, i grabbed my tooth brush and brushed my teeth. Jennifer went to open that drawer but Katherine quickly stopped her by grabbing a towel from the shelf. "Got it." She smiled handing me the towel.
I sighed in relief and wiped my mouth, and with my fingers i wiped my tears, Toni came in. "Are you okay?" He asked walking past his mom and sister.
I nodded. "I'm fine." I told him, he cupped my cheeks.
"No, you're not!" He argued. "You were like this yesterday too, let's go to the hospital." He grabbed my hand but i pulled back.

"I'm fine, it's just a stomach bug." I lied, feeling guilty for lying to his face when he deserves to know, he sighed kissing my lips.
"If this happens again, i'm taking you to the hospital." He told me, before letting me go and walking out of the room with a tired face.
Jennifer walked over to me putting her hand on my cheek stroking her thumb on my cheek. "Get some rest." She said kissing my forehead then walking out of the room, leaving me and Katherine alone in the bathroom.
I leaned against the sink. "I lied." I said guiltily, Katherine walked over to me putting her hand on my shoulder.
"You're not ready, if i was in your shoes i'd probably do the same thing." My eyes flickered on her. "Don't take too long to confess." I nodded knowing if i took too long Toni would probably get mad.
He'd probably get mad at me for lying to him. "I'm scared." I sighed running a hand through my hair in stress. "I'm gonna go call my mom." I told Katherine and she nodded.
"Go ahead, if you need anything call me." She smiled before walking out of the room, i walked out of the bathroom, going towards my bed where my phone was at, i grabbed it going through my contacts and clicking on my mom's name.
I walked over to the balcony shutting the door behind me, with two rings she answered. "Hello?" I heard her voice.
"Mom...i have to tell you something..." I trailed off.
"What is it?" She asked curiously.
"I'm pregnant."
I walked into my room, i walked into the bathroom, opening the drawer looking for my watch, i sighed closing that drawer then opening the second one, i moved all of the brushes and stuff, where the fuck is it? I'm late for work! I opened the last drawer moving all the towels.
Confused when i touched something that felt hard and flat, i slowly took it out looking down at it. Pregnancy test? My heart beat went from slow to fast, my breath hitched my throat, i turned the text around looking down at the result to lines.
I swallowed hard, then it hit me. Her throwing up feeling sick, feeling nervous around me and last fucking night i saw her holding her stomach! She fucking lied to me! Right through her teeth, she's fucking pregnant and didn't say a word to me.
I kicked the wall hard, walking into the room with the test in my hand pacing back and forth rubbing my mustache, i sat down on the bed looking down at the test with anger building up inside of me.
I'm not mad at her for being pregnant, i'm mad at her for lying to me.
It's my child and she didn't tell me.
I walked out of Katherine's room shutting the door behind me as i made my way towards my room, walking in and shutting it, i jumped when i saw Toni sitting there with an anger look on his face.
"Toni?" He didn't look up at me. "I thought you were going to work." I said, i jumped when he got up slamming something on the ground looking down to see something that made me froze, i swallowed hard.
He looked at me with his stone cold eyes making me shiver, his eyes slowly turned dark making my heart beat quickly as i fear went through my body. "Why the fuck didn't you tell me?!" He shouted making me jump back.
"Toni-" I was cut off by him.
"Don't fucking speak! Hiding something from me? Are you kidding me?! That's my fucking child and you were planning on hiding the pregnancy from me?! What were you planning on running away?!" He shouted making tears build up in my eyes.
He slowly walked over to me standing right in front of me, making me shiver in fear. "Since when?" I looked up at him with tears blurring my vision.
"Yesterday." I whispered. "Yesterday night." He clenched his jaw.
"When were you going to tell me?" He asked.
I inhaled shakily. "When i was ready." I whispered looking down at my hands.
"And when was that?!"
"I don't know, i was scared that you were going to leave me! Because every time someone asked us if we were having a child you would always say not now or we aren't ready." I told him, his face soften a bit but then turned cold again.
"Fuck whatever i said, you don't hide shit like this from me!" He yelled in anger, moving away from me. "I would have forgave you if you told me instead of lying to my face telling me it's a stomach bug." He said through his clenched teeth.
"Toni-" I was cut off by him holding his hand up shaking his head.
"I need to get to the office." He said brushing past me before walking out of the room slamming the door hard behind him, i slowly sunk down to my knees, crying my eyes out. I held onto my stomach as i sobbed.
The door slowly opened revealing Katherine with a worried look on her face, she rushed towards me pulling me into a hug. "It's okay, he just needs to calm down." I clutched onto her harder as i sobbed harder.
I woke up to the sound of the room door bursting open, i slowly opened my eyes to see an angry Toni, throwing his suit jacket on the bed, i slowly closed my eyes before he could see that i was awake, feeling the bed dip beside me i didn't bother opening my eyes.
Feeling his hand slowly dive into my hair, before i felt him getting off the bed and hearing the bathroom door shut, i slowly opened my eyes holding onto my stomach. Throwing the sheets off of me and getting up, i grabbed my phone and walked out of the room shutting the door behind me.
I walked down the stairs and towards the living room to see everyone seated. I slowly walked in standing next to the door way, Jennifer looked over at me. "Layla, why don't you come sit?" She asked, i played with my thumb glancing at Katherine then at Jennifer.
"I need to tell you all something." I said playing with my fingers nervously. I felt appearance beside me, knowing exactly who it was, i looked up at him meeting his gorgeous eyes, then looking back at the others. "I found out about this yesterday." They all looked at me confused.
"What is it, Sweetheart?" Jordan asked, i swallowed hard feeling Toni's eyes on me making me even more nervous.
I exhaled deeply. "I'm pregnant." I said making everyone gasp, i put my lips in a line as i looked over at Toni who was looking down at me with no emotions.
Jennifer stood up squealing in joy just like my mom did, she ran up to me hugging me. "Oh honey! Finally great news." She said in joy, jumping up and down.
Jordan walked over to me pulling me into a hug kissing my forehead. "I'm going to be a grandfather." He said with a happy tone, pulling away from me.
Kevin walked over patting Toni's shoulder, making Toni looked away from me and at him. "Turns out you're going to be a father and i'm going to be an uncle." He said, Toni nodded, Kevin turned to me pulling me into a hug. "Congrats sister in law!" We both pulled away.
"Thank you." I said with a smile, i looked over at Toni grabbing his hand. "I'm sorry." My voice cracked as i looked up at him, he sighed putting his hand on my cheek.
"Oh for the love of god!" Katherine whined. "Freaking forgive her and kiss her already!" She said, making Toni send her a glare then look down at me with a smile, he slowly leaned down kissing my lips.
I shyly kissed back knowing we were around people, i pulled away quickly. Sara walked towards us with a not so pleased look on her face. "Congrats." She said like he was forced to say the words.
I nodded at her and she turned around leaving the room, Serena and her mother walked over to us, Serena made sure to send me a look. "Congratulations Toni, didn't realize you would want to be a father that soon." Destiny said as she scanned me in disgust.
"Well turns out it was a surprise." He said rolling his eyes looking over at me.
Before he could pull me into a hug the room fell into silence as someone entered the room, Toni's grandmother, she smirked walking over. "Turns out you didn't use protection." She smirked sitting on the sofa with a wine glass in her hand.
Toni looked at her with a clenched jaw but didn't utter a word to her. "Mrs. Mahfud and Mr. Mahfud." One of the young maids came making us look at her. "Someone is at the door." She said, Jordan looked at her confused before walking out of the living room with Jennifer walking next to him.
Toni grabbed my hand as we trailed behind the two, we walked over to the door. We made it toward the front door to hear a gasp coming from Jordan and Jennifer at the same time, Toni let go of my hand and walked towards the front door he was about to take another step but froze when the person walked in.
It was a guy and a girl, Toni stood there with pure shock as he slowly curled his finger into a fist looking at the guy with anger, hurt and disappointment written all over his face. "Hi." The guy spoke up.
"Shit." Kevin whispered beside me, my eyes widen as i looked over at Toni in shock, he didn't take his eyes off of him one bit and didn't bother removing his hurt expression.
"Travis..." Toni whispered.
