DANGEROUS SIBLINGS (complete)

CHAPTER 15

A FEW MONTHS LATER

Ruby couldn't be happier, after being at the university for four years she was finally done with her degree program. Since it was her last day, she was busy preparing files to be transferred to the next president. 

Her head began to be dizzy again, so she sat back in her chair and opened a bottle of juice that was on the table and drank it's contents. Since she had packed everything, she was only left with shifting them out.

She was going to miss school life, since she was done now, she had to go to work at the company. Her parents weren't giving her a chance to rest at all. She was going to take a week break before resuming her work. It wasn't really that hard since she had been interning for many years unlike her spoilt brother.

There was a knock on the door and she let the person in.

'Ruby, your friends are here,' her secretary said as she stood at the door.

'Send them in,' she said and seconds later her gang came in.

She smiled at her friends as she saw how relieved they were now that school was over. They had been together for years now and she knew they will be together till the end of times unless they betray each other.

'I am so glad that you made it in time. Help me with the boxes,' she said as she looked at her friends and then the boxes.

'Let's get this over with and go have those drinks,' Alex said as he reached a box.

'Says the man with a broken heart, the drinks are on me tonight!' Ruby said excitedly and they all cheered. For kids who had money it was funny how they behaved like this most of the time.

'I love the sound of that. Let's go out and celebrate. To the future!'

'To the future!' The whole gang said as a slogan cheering themselves up.

After that the four of then took the boxes to the cars outside. The boxes were so many it was tiring for them in the end. After that they drove to Ruby's house where the butler and the maids took care of the boxes while Ruby and her friends settled inside.

Ruby met her mother who was busy serving her friends some beverages.

'Where is he?' Grace asked as she looked around.

'At school. He has classes and i would kill for some lone time,' Ruby said giving her mother a naughty smile.

'Then you better leave now before he comes or else he will stop you,' her mother warned her.

'I better do that but let them finish first and then we will leave,' she said.

Ruby returned to her friends where they talked as they finished their beverages. Once they were done the gang left the house for the club where they were going to have a celebratory moment. This was her moment and no one was going to stop her even Harvey.

                                                                                                 ***

Harvey couldn't believe that Ruby ran away from him at school. It was her last day at school and she just left without telling him. When he got home he found out from Grace that she had left for the club. How could she?

'You need to calm down, she will be back like always,' Grace tried to assure him but he wasn't settled at all, she wasn't supposed to drink.

'She mustn't drink mom,' Harvey said pacing up and down making Grace to grab him so that he can come to a halt.

'What does it mean?' Grace asked full of concern, wondering if her daughter suddenly contracted some unknown disease.

'She is pregnant,' Harvey said it and saw the shocked expression on Grace's face.

'Ohhh... is that true? How..... Does she know?' Grace didn't know what to ask anymore.

'She isn't aware of it yet,' he said and escorted his mother to the couch so that they could have a nice chat.

'Oh, this is great news!' Grace exclaimed, her face now rosy with happiness.

'I need to find her now,' he sounded urgent and Grace understood him.

'How far is she by the way?'

'I have no idea about that but i have known for a month now,' he replied.

'And you kept it quiet all this while?'

'I couldn't say a word. I didn't want her to sorry especially with exams. What if something happens to her and the baby? I couldn't risk it,' he answered truthfully and Grace was touched by his concern.

'You are all grown up. Thank you for loving my baby. I won't keep you here any longer. Go and stop her,' Grace said urging him.

'We will be back,' he said and rushed out.

On his way to the club Harvey remembered how sullen Brian was when he last saw him. His best friend was really a messed up person. Since Ruby was out with her friends then Jack was surely to be there and that was a good opportunity for him to help Brian. So as a good friend he is, Harvey called Brian and gave him the address for the club.

Harvey was still stressed. He didn't know how to tell Ruby about her pregnancy. He knew they were both not ready for the child but above all Ruby had never talked about it. He didn't mind about it even when he was still a student. He was happy when he learnt about it after all it was the result of their passion. Since he had made her pregnant he was going to work hard since she had to give up a lot of things to take care of herself. He just hoped she won't be mad at him and forgive him.

When he arrived at the club, he hurriedly went inside and after a few peeks he found Ruby's friends but she wasn't there. 

'I knew you were going to come,' Nancy said with a smile.

'Where is she?'

'You lost the best, now pay up!' Alex said as he stretched his hand towards Nancy.

Harvey watched with disbelief as Nancy gave Alex a hundred dollar bill and he shook his head. He didn't want to know about the bet at all.

'Your dear wife just went to the bathroom a while ago. Since you are here, go and check her up,' Jack finally answered his earlier question.

Since he knew what was wrong with his wife, Harvey rushed towards the restrooms without further enquiry. Lucky for him he found Ruby alone in the toilet, vomiting her guts out. He simply patted her back and helped her through the horrible experience.

Finally Ruby washed her mouth and she looked at him with teary eyes. He wiped those tears away and gave her a hug.

'I have something to tell you,' she said in-between sobs.

'We are pregnant, i know,' Harvey told her and she looked at him with shock.

'You knew?'

'Yes, for a while now.'

'Why didn't you say anything?'

'I didn't want you to worry and i was afraid that you might get rid of the bag,' he said sounding a bit depressed.

'And why would you think something like that Harvey?'

'I thought that you might not want a baby now since we are still young. I was messed up okay, i am sorry for not saying anything. I was just....' he didn't get to finish speaking. Ruby embraced him a tight hug he couldn't breath for a few seconds.

'You are not mad at me?' Harvey asked her and she shook her head.

'How can i get rid of our baby dear? I will never do something like that and i am not mad at you. Thanks for not saying it earlier, i would have been stressed for sure,' she said giggling thinking about the stress she had when she knew about it.

'Thanks for understanding and keeping our baby,' Harvey said as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

'We are going to be okay,' she assured him and he embraced her tighter.

Later the two left the restroom and joined their friends. But when they arrived Jack was nowhere to be seen.

'Where did he go?' Ruby asked as she joined her friends.

'Jack eloped with his younger boyfriend. He actually dumped his friends for him, can you believe it?' Nancy was rolling her eyes and Ruby burst out laughing. Who could blame him? Brian was one young hot guy after all though he couldn't be compared to her lovely husband.

'I have something to confess!' Ruby said seriously after she stopped laughing, holding Harvey's hand as she trembled a bit.

'You are pregnant, aren't you?' Nancy asked even though it sounded like she was just confirming it. Ruby and Harvey looked at each other and then back at her.

'How did you know?'

'We have known for a while now. You are our best friend and if we can't even see the changes in you, won't that be strange?' Alex asked as he sipped his wine.

'That makes sense,' Harvey said agreeing to what Alex had just said.

'You are all cruel. It is me who is pregnant and yet i had to be the last one to know,' Ruby wanted to hit her friends for deceiving her like this but ended up laughing. They didn't judge her, they still stood by her side even in times like this. What more would she ask for in friends?

'Now that she is carrying a child. You need to take care of her and make sure nothing befalls on the mother and the child,' Nancy was in her aunty mode.

'I will always take caution. Don't worry about that,' Harvey promised Aunty Nancy.

'But seriously, did you have to get married that early?' Alex asked as he looked at the matching bands by the couple.

They all laughed upon hearing that question.

'I couldn't help it. I wanted to show the world that this beautiful sister of mine is taken. What was i going to do if she changes her mind?' Harvey asked while gazing deep into her eyes.

'Who is your sister?' Ruby roared at him and he laughed. Ruby still had it in her even in a state like this.

'Sorry, my dear wife,' Harvey apologized and she smiled at him.

Alex and Nancy shook their heads. These two were seriously crazy and their relationship was surely complicated. They were siblings and a married couple on top of that. How can life be that complicated?

Being seated there with her friends, knowing that her husband and the only man she loves so dearly was by her side she was happy. She had been with Harvey almost all her life and she was grateful that every memory he has, she was part of it too.

The two of them got married after they returned from their vacation. It was a small and quiet wedding with just family members and close friends.

She was glad that they were happy for her and now they were going to add a new member to her family.

'Let's go home baby,' Harvey said looking at her and she nodded.

Ruby didn't want to be here anymore, she was going to be careful since she was now pregnant and take care of herself.

'Will see you guys. This girl is going to rest,' Ruby said as she looked at her friends.

'You better do that. Will call you later and next time we will have brunch or BBQ since it is no fun drinking alone,' Nancy complained and Ruby smiled at her.

'Let's do that.'

Ruby smiled inwardly as she thought about the reason why Harvey was insistent on taking her home. She really found a gem and she was very proud. He knew her so well.

In the car Harvey held her hand and she was at ease. She looked at her husband and gulped. How could he be so handsome? Was it the pregnancy? She wanted him so much but there were still in the car and Harvey knowing that she was pregnant he was driving with care.

Ruby looked at him and she hissed at him.

'I know baby, we will get there,' Harvey said but Ruby did the impossible and she fondled him with a smile pasted on her face. Harvey hissed under his breath and he knew that his wife was impatient and there was one way to solve it.

Harvey drove straight into the woods where they usually frequent and parked the car. With a single move Ruby was in his arms. She surrendered herself to him and he was overwhelmed with joy. 

With one thrust he filled her warm passage and he felt home. He kissed her passionately as he made love to her in the car. Their bodies joining as one with so much anticipation and need as if they were consummating their marriage.

Ruby made him fall in deeper with just a smile, her scent, her gaze and everything about her. As long as he lives, Harvey was going to show her just how much he appreciates her presence in his life by making it up to her daily. He was going to drive her crazy and mad in love that she will think of no one else except him.

Ruby held onto her husband tightly as he made passionate love to her. To think that she was back in the same place that she conceived her baby made it so special that she gave him all she had and hoped to have more babies in the future.

'I love you,' Ruby whispered to Harvey.

'I love you too baby,' he said back and hit home.
