“I’m carrying his child,” I gasp.
The words leave my mouth with such force that it feels like my heart foes with them.
My mother’s eyes widen in disbelief.
“But isn’t that good news?” she asks me.
“I don’t know, Mom. I just found out. I have no idea what to do.”
A tear slides down my mother’s face, but she’s smiling at me. “I’m going to be a grandmother.”
“I just want him to live, Mom,” I inhale.
“And the baby.”
“I’ll keep her, even if I have to raise her alone.”
My mom reaches over and strokes my hair.
“You think it’s a her?”
I chuckle through tears, nodding.
“I feel it.”
My mother laughs. “A mother always knows.”
I slowly lean over to my mother, and she holds me tight.
“You have Laura and me. You’ll never be alone.”
“Pretty sure Laura hates me.”
“She’ll get over it.”
The door flings open suddenly, and Bunny walks in, dripping wet and covered with a towel he tied around his waist.
He is holding up his phone.
“I got a call from one of my brother’s surviving guards. Donatello is after us.”
My mother looks up in shock, and I glare hard at Bunny, who finally realizes that he’s basically naked.
“Fuck! I am so sorry, ma’am,” he apologizes, returning to the bathroom.
I turn to my mother for the first time, feeling fear. She reads my mind because she takes my hands and squeezes them.
“I think we need to leave. The doctor can take care of Antonio, but the rest of us need to hide.”
My eyes well up with tears again.
“Shh, don’t cry. We will figure this out.”
“I’m sorry, Mom, but I have to stay with him. I don’t think Bunny will leave either.”
“I know you want to be by his side. I understand.”
“It’s not pathetic?”
