Daddy's Little Angel novel Chapter 44

I knew things were about to get ugly when the doctor started with congratulations.

I also knew I messed up big time when he told me I was soon going to be a father.

What I didn't know how much of a mess I was in till I saw Angels reaction to the news.

Series of emotions flashed by as she heard those words come from my lips.

Form shock, to pain , then came anger and finally disbelief.

"She's what?" She asked with a voice way below a whisper but to me, it sounded louder than a bomb.

"Angel..I-" I began to say till the hysterical sounds of her laughter shut me up.

"Oh God, you almost got me with that one...That joke was insane. I can't believe you still have time to mess with me. To think I was just worried for nothing." She concluded with a small smile that had me confused.

"But it's no- " I wanted to clarify but she once again didn't let me finish.

"No buts! I caught on to your joke Jack there's no need to say anything further. It's been a tiring night, maybe not for you since you still have time to play pranks , but I'm exhausted. I have to go to work tomorrow so let's just go home okay? " She said in a small voice. Before making her way out of the hospital.

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't figure what was going on in her head.

Did she really believe what I said was a prank? Or she's just not willing to accept the truth so she put up an act?

I don't know what to think but either ways, the outcome wouldn't be favorable.

The ride home was filled with a tense quiet . Angel just sat there unmoving unblinking without any facial expression. I wanted to say something, anything to ease this tention but then again what could I possibly say to make things better at this point?

As soon as we got home , Angel instantly excused herself to bed giving me zero chance to utter a single word of explanation or apology, or maybe that's not the case. Maybe I was just a coward and I didn't press hard enough to be heard because I was, and am still afraid of the inevitable.

This past month have been hell.

Angel has refused to acknowledge my existence. She is always gone before I wake up and she gets back so late and dead drunk out of her mind to be able to hold a serious conversation.

This place feels empty without her. I feel empty without her. I love her with my very being. It hurts to be the reason she is always hurt.

I'm angry at myself for being so stupid and careless. I'm nothing but a disappointment. I failed her yet again...

Why couldn't it be Angel that got pregnant? I don't even love this woman that's carrying my supposed child!.

I don't know what to do cause I sure as hell know sorry isn't going to fix us this time. I doubt anything would... I fear if we fall out this time, it'll be for good.

What can I say, I brought this upon myself.
