Rejected But Pregnant novel Chapter 9

"It's not so hard to be nice to a girl like you." I look at him confused. "You're smart, funny, witty, and beautiful." I blush fiercely and look down.

Suddenly, I chuckled a little. "You barely even know me, yet you treat me better than my own family. Strange right?"

Bane looked at me "No it's not. What they might have or have not done to you was wrong in every sense of the word".

"I'm sorry, it's just that no one has ever cared so much about me before." I mumbled into his shirt. He sighed and patted my head.

"Well, I'll let you settle in and everything and take a bath, but after I'm going to take you shopping." He said, changing the topic which I was happy about.

"Okay." I said to him, picking up my bag that was on the floor and headed towards my bed. Looking back at him, I smile. "You have no idea what this all means to me."

He smiles slowly then nods and closes the door behind him.

I straightened my back and started to unpack. Most of the clothes I packed were torn and baggy, I threw most of them away.

I took one of my only good pair of jeans and cut them up so they were dark blue shorts now instead. I placed my white tee-shirt next to them, took my towel and went for my shower. Getting done with my shower, I got dressed, placing my credit card and 50 dollars into my back pocket.

Shopping here I come.

Bane grabbed my hand and led me to his car. It was when we reached the pack house that it occurred to me that I had no idea what to do. I had never been shopping other than for food. I'm completely out of my element here. I was internally wishing that Bane would know what to do. [However, wishing proved to be useless, since] Bane was as confused about shopping as I was.

Clearly seeing how lost we were, a female assistant approached us, her tone was eager to help and I was happy that at least we had someone that knew what she was doing.

"Hey, you hungry?" Bane asked turning his head towards me while we walked around the mall. I shook my head, not feeling hungry, I had a slice of toast on the train with some water.

He frowned. "I didn't want to say this, but you're way too thin. I wanted our Pack doctor to look at you, but I thought shopping would relax you and stuff because you know... You're a girl." He ended lamely. I couldn't help, but laugh at the sheepish expression he kept sending my way

Bane grabbed my hand and brought me to the food court. After looking around he led me to a Subway stand.

We returned to the Pack house not long after eating, and I had never felt so stuffed in my life. I was must have fallen asleep sometime during the ride home because I woke up in my room. I still couldn't believe that I had my own room. Sighing, I cuddled up into my bed, loving the soft feathery feel of it.

As I laid there, a million thoughts raced through my mind. What was my old pack doing? Did they even know I was missing? Does Leo miss me? Do my brothers miss me? And these questions led to more questions. How will they survive without me? I did all of the taxes and bills, laundry, cooking, cleaning, homework, and every other domestic job in that Pack. How will they survive without me?
