Chapter
31
**Nick's
view**
“Mary
please. Put the gun down. She's not hurting no one.” I looked at
Mary and help Jona to up. She was still having gun in her hands
pointing it to Jona.
“I can't I'm sorry. She's lying.” She said
and I looked at Jona.
“Jona? What are you doing here and why you
have Nina's clothes on?” I asked. Jona looks at me and Mary and
sighs.
“I got a job to kill Mary cause Ethan and Richie wouldn't do
it. Now call cops if you like.” Jona said. I just couldn't believe
this. Jona, my sweet girl neighbour was like this.
“All this time I
thought you are sweet and innocent girl, but I was wrong. Why Jona,
why?” I asked but suddenly doorbell rang.
“Keep pointing her.
I'll go look who is that.” I said to Mary. She only nod and point
the gun to Jona.
I walked to front door and open it. I saw Nicky,
Paris sister, behind it with a... baby?
“Nicky? Hey.. What brings
you here?” I asked little confused.
“Well Hi to you. Paris wanted
you to have something.” She hang over me a baby and I take a baby.
“What? What is this?” I asked looking at Nicky.
“She's your
daughter Nick. Her name is Holly. Take care of her while Paris in
jail.” she said and just walked away.
“Just hold on minute.” I
walked after her and stopped her.
“I told Paris that I don't wanna
be part of this child life. You got to take her, Nicky.” I said and
I was going to give Holly to Nicky.
“No. I already look after her
week. She makes me crazy. I can't focus my work cause she's crying
all the time. I know your dad and mom would look after her.” she
said and looked at me.
“But I have to go tour soon and my parent's
have divorce. I can't look after either.” I said looking at Nicky
and then looked down to Holly who was in my arms.
“What about Mary?
Is she going with you tour?” she asked and I looked at her.
“Okay... What is going on? Did you thought Mary start to be mother
to Holly?” I asked. Nicky looks at me and smiles.
“You two would
be very happy, Nick. Holly needs parents. I think Mary is good mother
for her.”
“She's 13 years old.” I said and Nicky looked
chocked.
“Oh my God. You got a girlfriend who's 14?” she started
to laugh.
“Sorry Nick, but I don't have a choice here. Paris asked
me to bring it to you.”
“But... I can't. I don't know how to be
dad.” I said little in afraid. Nicky looks at Holly.
“Well she's
sleeping in your arms now.” I looked down and smiled.
“She's very
beautiful, but I can't take her. I promised to myself.” I put my
look back to Nicky.
“Just keep her couple of days and I call you
and ask how things are going, Okay?” she asked and smiled. I looked
again Holly who was sleeping calmly in my arms.
“Well I can try
couple of days and see hows it goes.” Nicky looks at Holly and
gives kiss to her forehead.
“Aunt Nicky comes looks at you soon,
sweety. Your daddy looks after you now.”
“Aunt Nicky?” I
questioned. Nicky only smiled.
“Yeah. I'm Paris sister and she's
hers. We are like family Nick.” She said smiling. I looked at Nicky
and smiled.
“Gosh, Nicky. Why I never dated you? You are so much
sweet than Paris is.” I said ans she only laughed.
“Oh Nick... We
wouldn't be perfect to each other. And I have a boyfriend and you
have a Mary.” Nicky said and smiled.
“She's very cute. You should
marry her or something.” I started to laugh.
“I don't know. My
own parents divorced and I think marriage is not my thing.” Nicky
looks at me and smiles.
“What if she wants to get married someday?”
I never thought of that. I need to talk about that with Mary.
“Okay
Nicky. Thanks for bring her here. I'll call you in couple of days and
tell hows things are going.” I said and hugged her for bit.
“Okay.
See you later. Bye Holly.” she said and walked to her car and drove
away.
I walked back inside to living room with Holly in my arms. Mary
looks my way and looks little confused.
“Wow... That was fast to
get pregnant and then labor a baby.” I looked at Mary and smiled.
“This is my daughter Holly. Nicky just brought her to me.” Mary
puts gun away from Jona.
“You don't move or i'll shot you.” Mary
said to Jona. Jona just sit on the floor afraid.
“Around the baby?”
Jona asked and I looked at Mary.
“Let her go. If she comes back to
trying to kill you, I'll kill her myself.” I looked at Jona.
“Let
her go? Are you fucking kidding me?” Mary snapped at me.
“Hey.
Don't say f-word around my daughter. Just go Jona.” I said and
walked upstairs having Holly his arms.
**Mary's
view.**
I
looked at Jona.
“Don't you think to have a gun. I keep it. Just in
case.” I hold gun in my arms and move it around my finger like in
movies.
“I don't need it and don't worry. I won't come to kill you
anymore. I just thought...”
"What? You thought what? I'm Emilia?
Well I'm not! In hundred of times! I'm not Emilia!” I shouted at
her. Jona looked afraid and walked away from the backyard door. I sat
down on chair and sighed. I heard some footsteps and looks around and
see Bob looking at me.
“Did I heard shouting?” he asked.
“Yes
you did. I shouted at Jona. She was here to kill me.” I said and
stand up and having still gun in my hand.
“Then why you have a
gun?” Bob asked.
“Yeah... I hit her to face and took a gun away
from her hands.” I said and take all bullet out of the gun and
handed the gun to Bob.
“You might need it.”I said when bob was
unsure to take a gun.
“To what?” Bob asked.
“I don't know.
Maybe if Jane comes back and beg some money.” I said.
“I'm not
going to point gun to her even she is thief.” Bob snapped at me.
“Well then use it if here comes criminals. Or what ever. Just take
it.” I begged him. Bob took a gun and looked at it.
“What about
bullets you got out?” Bob asked. Mary put the bullets to his other
hand.
“Here you go granpa. Oh Nick have a daughter. Nicky just
brought her here. Wanna come to see?" I asked smiling. Bob looks at
me.
“I have a grandchild?”
“Yes you do. Her name is Holly. Come
on.” I smiled and walked to stairs. Bob followed me and we walked
to upstairs and saw Nick sitting in the halls couch Holly in his
arms.
“Nick? Bob is wake. Introduce her to him.” I said and
smiled. Nick looks at us and smiles.
“Hey papa. This is Holly.”
he gets up and walks to us and smiles. Bob looks at girl and smiles.
“Oh she's beautiful. May I?” he asked and took holly to his arms.
“Hey there. I'm your grandpa. The best one on earth.” Nick and I
laughed for bit.
“Well I'm not sure should I keep her. I promised
to Paris that I won't be any part of her life.” Nick said to his
dad. Bob looks at Nick and is chocked.
“Are you kidding? This is
your child and you are giving her away? Nicholas... Even she's Paris
daughter too, it doesn't mean you should take Paris back. Holly is
your daughter and you should love her like your own.” Bob said and
I smiled.
“She is his. And I kinda of want her around. It's good
for me have some practice before I get my own.” I said and take her
to my arms from Bobs. Bob looks at Nick.
“She's right. You should
keep her here and never let Paris to see her. Let Mary to be her
mother.”
“What?” Nick and I asked same time and looked at Bob.
“Well you two are together right and Nick have a daughter with
Paris. Now that she's in jail, you two should grown her together.”
Bob said and smiled at us. I looked at Nick and was afraid for bit.
Nick looked at me and smiled.
“I think papa is right. We can do it.
Nicky actually thinks too that, you are going to be great mom to
Holly.” I give Holly back to Nick and sighed.
“But I'm not her
mom. Never will be.” And I walked to Nicks room balcony to sitting
there in the silence.
5 minutes I hear someone to walk there. I heard
footstep to end to door and suddenly someone hugs me behind and kiss
my neck.
“Hey... You mad?” Nick asked and was kissing my neck
softly. I smiled for kissing.
“Why I should be mad? I love kids.
I'm kid myself.” I said and laugh for bit. Nick walks to front of
me and goes down to my level to his knees.
“For me you are not. For
me you are woman. You already had been pregnant, had sex... You know
all that. You are woman I love. I love you Mary. I do. More than
anything in this world.” I looked at Nick.
“More than Holly?” I
questioned. He signed and looked at me.
“She's my daughter. I just
get to know her. And yes I do love you more than her. She's comes to
next. Please, Mary. Give us a chance to be a family for while. Holly
needs mother to her life. You are perfect. I think I want some kids
with you in the future.” He smiled and looked up to my eyes.
“You
do? How many?” I questioned him another question. He started to
think and smiles.
“2 would be good.” I shake my head and laughed.
“No I want 6.”
“6, huh?. That's... that's kinda of lot, don't
you think?” he only smiled and laugh about it.
“No. I don't think
it's lot. Like I said. I love kids.” I said and touched his cheek
and softly give him a kiss to forehead.
“Now Carter. We have only
one problem to do those kids.” Nick looks at me surprised.
“And
that is?” he looked up to me.
“We need to be married first.” I
said and looked down to him.
“Oh... Yes of course, but you see... I
don't wanna get married ever. You just saw what happened to my
parents.” Nick said and stands up and sit next to me.
“Well that
doesn't mean it's going to happen to you.” I said and looked at him
and touched his hand. He touched my hand and smiled.
“I'm very
sorry. I just... I don't believe to marriage.” he said and sighed.
“Okay...” I took my hand back away from Nick and walked to inside
of his room. He of course followed me.
“Okay? We need to talk about
this babe? Just tell me, do you or do you not wanna get married?”
he asked and turn around him and sighed.
“Yes I do. I wanna get
married.”
“Well unfortunately I can't afford that to you.” Nick
said and looked at me.
“So what now? We are just girlfriend and
boyfriend rest our lives?” I questioned that to Nick. Now he looked
little sad.
“Please don't say that. I do love you. And we can have
kids even we aren't married. Many couples have that.” he said and
walked closer to me. I walked away when he was walking to me.
“No.
I don't want to be just that. I want to be someones wife. I want
family they way I dream of it.” Nick stopped walking to me and
looked at me.
“Well I guess this is it... I let you go then. Find
someone who makes you happy.” he said and walked out of his room
and I just stood there no movement.
“He dumped me... He...” I
fall down on the floor and move to next to bed and started to cry. I
didn't want this. Now I really want him to be around me and hold me
tight in his arms. I couldn't move so much. I move to bed slowly and
covers to blanket and never get up. Not going to talk to no one. My
life is over.
