DALIA'S POVThe next morning came faster than I had expected. My alarm woke me up at thirty minutes passed six, but I had snuck in an extra hour, getting up just around seven-thirty. Emily was not one to keep to time, but something told me today would be very different. Maybe things were different for me today. For one, I was on my way to the doctor's, to check out the human being growing inside of me. It still seemed very much unreal to me that I was pregnant. I couldn't imagine myself being someone's mother, I could barely take care of myself. I didn't eat homemade meals, unless someone else cooked them, I had the memory of a ninety year old, and I left my laundry in the dryer for way too long. I was not mother material.I rolled off of the mattress, stood to my feet, and made my bed, before going to brush my teeth. As I scrubbed the back of my tongue, I felt something rising in my throat. I pulled out the toothbrush from my mouth, and quickly dipped my head in the sink. I remained

EROS' POVBy the times I got up the next morning, the time was already forty minutes after nine. I would've probably slept for much longer if Sebastian hadn't come banging on my door. Princess was curled up in a ball next to me on my bed, clearly not interested in day time activities just yet. I stumbled out of bed, and made my way down the stairs to my front door."Good morning, Mr. West." A worried Sebastian greeted, startled by the force at which I'd swung the door open."Morning, Sebastian." I let him in, and walked to the kitchen. "Why have you banged on my front door this morning? Did someone die?" I said, sarcastically, as I turned on the coffee making machine that sat on the far end of the kitchen island."Uhm, no, sir." Sebastian stood by the door. "It's just, the time is almost ten 'o' clock, Mr. West. You clock in at work at eight-thirty." He stated. I gestured for him to leave the door, and sit down in the living room, before joining him. I took a deep breath."Well, Seba

EROS' POVThe time passed by quickly as Betty and I rummaged through my closet, looking for what I'd where out. She had gotten hungry not too long after our quest began, so I ordered a pizza and heated up some left of chicken nuggets from the fridge."How do you live here all alone, don't you ever get bored?" Betty asked, as she dropped the large pizza box and the centre table, and sat on the rug. She folded both her legs inwards, and turned on the television."I'm not alone." I replied. "I live with Princess." I said, dropping the plate of chicken nuggets beside the pizza box. I walked back to the kitchen, and pulled out two large cups from the drawer. I rinsed them, and filled them with ice cubes, before grabbing a big size Fanta bottle out of the fridge."Princess isn't a real person." Betty laughed. "No offense, baby." She said to Princess who was snuggled on the couch behind her."Y'know, I strongly disagree, but I don't see the issue here. I'm barely home anyway. Most of my time

EROS' POV"C'mon dude… it's literally just… just one step left." I slurred. Betty and I found ourselves staggering up the stairs leading to my front door at four in the morning. I pushed my weight against the rail on the side of the stairs, one hand holding my body up, with the other wrapped tight around Betty's waist. She swung an arm around my neck, unable to even stand on her own."Would you like a hand, Mr. West?" Sebastian said from the bottom. I had no recollection of when I had called him, or when he had arrived. Betty and I were in no frame of mind to get behind the wheel, and I wasn't about to leave my car at the club. When Sebastian showed up, Betty was bent over on the side walk, pouring her insides on all the concrete floor. I stood beside her, rubbing her back, and apologising to passersby. The night had passed in a blur. The club had gone wild a few minutes after we got there, pole dancers, and underground rappers performed together, before more B list celebrities and so

DALIA'S POVI rushed out into the hallway, slamming the door to Dr. Westley's office behind me. I back my back to the nearest wall, and slide down against it, tears running down both sides of my face. My chest heaved a a took, big, deep breaths, trying to get my breathing back to normal. I had said repeatedly that I wasn't anything close to ready for a baby, but now, I had began to think that maybe that was just what I thought I was supposed to say. Nobody was ever really ready for a baby, they all learnt on the job, and so could I. I didn't mind how much I had to sacrifice, or how much harder I had to work, I was ready to give it my all to be the best mother to this little person growing inside of me.I brought the very hem of my skirt to my face, and dabbed underneath my eyes, and cheek areas. It was only then that I noticed Meoly had been standing over me, watching in silence the whole time."I know what you're gonna say, you're gonna say, Dee, what'are you doing? You're not prepar
