The Wounded Love novel Chapter 61

She was right. "It really isn't fair." I said. "He doesn't deserve this."

She let out a sad sigh. It was obvious that she was stressed. He was going to have a baby. He couldn't die. Not now.

"How do you know all this?" I asked. If Dante had the nerve to tell her before me I was going to cut off his balls. Did he actually pick her up before he picked me up? It was a selfish thought, but I was curious.

"Sean's dad told me. I told him I was pregnant and that's why Dante brought me here. It was while we were at the hospital. Can you believe Dante's dad has a private hospital?"

She was rambling. She'd talk without getting a breath out. That's what Jade did when she was nervous.

"He picked you up before me." I couldn't help it. I had to say it.

"Sky, don't be mad. Dante was going crazy trying to find you. I mean he went everywhere. Eventually he gave up and decided to track you down by your cell phone."

"My phone? He tracked me down!"

"I mean, yeah. No one knew where you were. Really Skyla, don't be mad at him. He didn't choose this. You know all he wants is to help you."

I rolled my eyes.

She frowned. "I'm not telling you to get back together with him, but you should be grateful that he cares so much. I don't blame you for not being too happy right now, but he's just trying to protect you.

"I should know. He was going insane. He thought that it was too late and that killed him. I'm not even exaggerating. You know I'd tell you the truth."

"How are you so calm about this?" I asked. She didn't seem as freaked out as I was with the whole Italian Mafia part.

"I'm not calm. I just trust that these people are going to figure it out. I mean it's Nick. How powerful can Nick be?"

"Very." I mumbled.

Jades eyes opened wide. "What do you mean?"

We ended up talking about something else. I asked her what Anthony's reaction was when she told him she was pregnant.

They were both a little shocked, especially at the fact they've never met Jade. But both of his parents were so shaken up that they accepted it. They couldn't be mad at Sean now. He was barely even here.

Susan had a strong maternal side who took Jade in like she was her daughter. I could tell Jade liked the special treatment. She never really had a family. Jade and I were best friends but she was not the type of girl who my mother approved of. My family always said that she was a bad influence.

We stayed together until past midnight. The only thing in the room was a small digital clock. Eventually Jade was tired and left. Her room was right next door. Apparently it was really small down here. I hadn't left my room, knowing that men with guns stood on the other side.

Dante walked in as I was dozing off on the couch. "You know there's a bed back there, right?" He asked pointing to a door that I thought was a closet.

"No I didn't know." I yawned.

"Well," He said. "There is. No one will come in here by the way. I know they might seem scary but we are all on the same side. They won't hurt you."
