Worlds Over, Time to Die. Nothing Left but our Souls Inside.

“Danielle,” Mike’s voice rang out from upstairs. I could hear him come down the stairs before I even replied.
“Go away,” I mumbled.
“No I need..I need to talk to you,” he whispered as he got closer.
“No what you need is to leave,” I glared at him.
“Let me just talk,” Mike begged.
“Oh now you want to talk? You want to talk about how much my life has been ruined and how my boyfriend, your brother, hates me? You want to talk about how I’m bringing a life into this fucked up world? What the fuck do you want from me Mike!” I yelled, unable to contain my temper. He sighed and looked at me and for the first time in months I saw something in his eyes that I couldn’t place.
“I’m sorry. I just wanted you to know that I never planned on this to happen. It was so unexpected and I didn’t mean to fuck up anyones life. I have fucked up so much in my life but this, this is major. We all know I’m not cut out to be a father and to be honest, I never really wanted kids. I only came to say..”

Mike was cut off as someone came down the stairs. I looked up to see Vic. Next to me I could feel Mike growing angry. He was clenching his fists. They looked at eachother, more like glared at eachother, before Vic spoke up.

“Mike get the fuck out of here now,” he growled. I could feel his anger too. I sighed and rubbed my uneasy stomach. I had been growing more uncomfortable all day but I swallowed the discomfort and watched the two brothers.
“Okay. Fair enough. I’m sorry,” Mike said as he got up and left. He turned to look at me one more time and whispered. “It will all be over soon. I hope one day you will forgive me,” then he was gone, leaving me puzzled over his final statement.

Vic finally spoke up and the conversation we had was definitely not one I had expected to have with him. First off he told me we were leaving his brother behind and then he expected me to be the one to console Alysha. I was barely keeping it together myself. A pain in my stomach flared up but I did my best to ignore it as he continued on. I most definitely was not expecting him to tell me that he needed me. It had been so long since he had shown any kind of affection towards me that I thought he might be incapable of it. I figured he had shut himself down and there was nothing left of the man I had fallen in love with. The pain was growing worse so I started pacing. Moving seemed to help a bit. He kept talking as I paced and took deep breathes. He kept talking until finally my pacing was too much and told me to sit down. I let out a final breath and took a seat next to him. He was being somewhat open and I figured I could get some sort of affection from him. My body craved touch and I wanted human affection so much at that moment.

“Can we put this behind us sweetie?” I was so in shock at his statement that I didn’t know how to respond and the pain was only growing worse. I shrugged.
“It’s going to be kind of hard when there’s a baby constantly screaming. Isn’t it?” I told him, growing dizzy and unsure of what was going on.
“Danielle as far as I’m concerned that baby is mine and even though I am terrified to have a child that small in this crazy world, I will be here for you and I’ll do what ever it takes to give you and this child a happy life. I will be the best father I can be for him…or her whichever it is and I will love you both until the day I stop breathing.” I really had nothing to say to that. I could tell that he was talking but his words made no sense. I felt him pull me in and murmur something else right before he kissed me.

I started hyperventilating at that point. The pain in my stomach had started to consume me and I couldn’t see. Then I felt like my whole stomach was tearing itself apart. I fell to the floor and I could hear someone yelling my name but they seemed so far away. I tried to move, to touch them, to say something but nothing happened. I was stuck in this pain. I couldn’t do anything but lay on the floor and pray that the pain would go away or death would consume me. I had never felt anything that bad before.

Then everything went silent and the pain stopped for a split second as a single gunshot rang out through the house. At that moment what Mike had told me finally registered. I knew exactly what he meant and I hadn’t been there to stop him. I screamed, it was a scream full of pain. I screamed because I knew what Mike had just done and because my water broke and I was in labor.

Notes

So as you can see, Danielle wasn't exactly in the best frame of mind to write and entry. I wanted to get this out because I wanted it to happen on the same days as the things with Mike so I figured this would be the best way to do it.

I hope you guys all enjoyed it. So much kinda all happened at once. This has kinda been planned for a while, we've just had to work it up to it.

So yup, Danielle is in labor. Now no one but I knows the gender of the baby. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve but I'm curious, what does everyone think it is? Let me know in the comments.

What do you want the baby to be?
