Twist Of Fate

Chapter 21

Angel's POV

Shocked, angry, upset and hurt. That's what I'm feeling right at this moment. Seeing his face again hurt me to the core. I didn't expect to see him there. He's not the type to visit such local diners as Mandy's. Could it be because he missed me? NO No No No I can't think like that. Why would he miss me. Clearly he's happy with his fiance, the media never lets us forget.

Now that he knows I'm pregnant I don't know what he'll do. Will he ask me to abort? Will he take my babies from me and raise them with my sister? Will he want me back? No he clearly doesn't want me back. How could I even think that. I should be hating him right now. But shockingly I don't. I just feel pure pain, no anger just pain. A heart piercing pain.

I thought I was over him but these damn pregnancy hormones won't let me. I yearn for him and his love instead, even though I know it was fake I was happy. I even dream about us being a family for Christ's sake. I thought seeing him on the media hurt but being close to him again hurt even more.

"Uh hello earth to Angie." Broox took me out of my thoughts.

"I saw him."

"Who? Sam yeah I know and like I've told you before I'm not getting back-"

"Not Sam, Broox. Him."

"NO"

"Yes"

"Is this the reason why you've been quiet ever since we left Mandy's? Gosh why didn't you tell me sooner. I would have made sure he's left with one testicle as we speak." Broox said as he stopped munching on his chips.

"I was in shock okay. And now that he knows I'm pregnant I wonder what's he going to do. I'm so worried B what if he takes my babies sway from me?"

"He won't hun, let's just hope he's not that heartless. What did he say when he saw you? What was his reaction?"

"He looked shocked, then he tried to talk to me but I ran away. I couldn't look him in the eyes B. I couldn't stand being that close to him I couldn't stand the smell of his perfume and he even has the audacity to touch me can you fucking believe it the fucker even tried to call me fucking kitten I mea-" I said in one breath before Broox stopped me.

"Woah! Calm down Angie. Please come calm down. The babies remember."

I started breathing normally and calmed myself down. I was busy rambling on about the prick. He still holds so much power over me.

"Yeah thanks. I just, this is too much B. I can't take it anymore. I think I should leave for sometime."

"Leave, you can't leave baby. Where will you go? "

"Mom" I literally ran to her and hugged her so tight.

I hadn't even realised it was past his knock off time. She had bags in her hands which Broox helped her with as we shared the hug.

"Oh mom. I'm not strong like you mother. I can't do this it's too much. The pain it won't go away. And today when I saw him it was so intense." I said through sobs.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. Where did you see him?" Mom asked as we sat down.

"He was at Mandy's mom. I always avoid crowded places, like always. He was the least person I could think would be at Mandy's. So I just went there and when I was about to leave there he was, staring at me like he's seen a ghost. I quickly ran from there but I was too slow because he grabbed my wrist. I didn't want him to touch me so I yanked my wrist from his venomous touch. He wanted to talk mom but I didn't let him. My first instinct was to leave from there and I did that."

"Take a breath honey, breath. Calm down. He's not here okay. This is your home, there's no need to panic okay." Mom said those soothing words while rubbing my back.

"I I..I know mom he's not here. But what if he comes and take my babies away from me. What if he forces me to abort oh mom I can't lose them. They're the only reason I'm still pulling through."

"It's okay sweetie. We won't let him take the babies from. No one has the power to separate a child from their mother unless they have curtain issues. You my dear will be a good mother, he won't have any valid reason to take the babies away from you. I won't let him okay. And as far as abortion is concerned that'll happen over my dead body."

"Oh mother. I'm so scared he has so much power to do whatever he wants."

"Fear not child, your mother is with you okay."

"Thank you so much mom."

"It's okay sweetie now we need to prepare for tomorrow's gyno appointment. And Broox thank you so much for taking good care of my babies."

"Oh Miss Gabby, Angie here is the light of my life. I love her like a sister. I'll aways support her."

My heart melted at his words. I am a very lucky girl. I have the most supportive mother and a very good friend. I don't what I'd do without them. These past five months of pregnancy have been hard but they've made them tolerable. I can smile and sit around, laugh and chat. I'm slowly getting used to being looked at funny when I walk around the streets. The judgemental gaze I receive from other women.

I don't know why people tend to judge other people without knowing everything but I don't care. As long as relevant people know the truth then I don't care what outsiders think of me. The man I love already called me a whore, what else could they say to hurt me.

I later went to bed because I didn't feel well. My feet hurt like hell and my heart well my heart will recover soon. I laid there thinking of how things would've been had Xavier's love for me been real. If he truly loved me how would things be, would the nursery be at his place or mine? Would we still live apart? Well I don't think so. I soon drifted to sleep.

"Baby come down we're going to be late."

"I'm almost done. I'll be down in 5."

"Five what, Sweetie? 5 hours? You know you're very slow. You've been saying 'I'll be there in five'Mo for half an hour now. You food is ready."

I went downstairs without my shoes on. I was struggling to get them on.

"Hey mom, can you please help me with these. I can't reach my feet." I said pouting.

"Sure Sweetie, take a sit. I'll help you in a few."

We did our morning routine and left forr the doctor's appointment. I am 24 weeks now. Fully 6 months pregnant and I feel like a Weil. Pregnancy is so hard but also the best experience any woman can have.

When we got there I was slow but told mom to go and hold in the line for me. I wadled my way inside the building but I almost tripped over a step. Luckily I was caught by someone but this time I didn't like the feeling. The smell of his Cologne didn't comfort me but rather frustrated me.

"Oh kitten. What should I do with you?"
