1873 Words
Three more weeks fly by and Drew practically lives with Rose at the apartment, he went with her to the sonogram and cried when he saw her son. Rose knew then that Drew had to stay in her life forever, he would be there for her son and her. There was a few months left in the pregnancy, her third trimester, she never got morning sickness, but the second trimester kicked her butt. And not the third was too. She hurt everywhere but never told anyone how much it hurt. It also made her think about her family, she should call them, text anything, but whenever her fingers hover over the buttons, they shake. Her main concern was Ace, she yearned for his touch, for him to hold her at night and protect her. Not that she needed protecting, but she was vulnerable right now and he wasn't here, that wasn't his fault, it was hers. Rose was so deep into her own thoughts; she didn't hear Drew talking to her until a hand full of fries hit her face. She jerks at the contact and then stares at Drew with a scowl on her face. Drew just grins amused by her reaction. "Jerk, what?" she asks. He laughs "b***h" he jokes then looks at Rose with concern. "Are you okay? You've been spacing out a lot recently" he observes. Rose nods "I guess, I keep thinking about Ace not being there for the sonograms" she sighs. In her final trimester they wanted Rose in very two weeks for the upcoming months and then on her final month every week. They were still concerned for his size and development, telling her to avoid stress, but that didn't come easily to her. She looked twelve weeks pregnant not twenty-four and that alone stressed Rose out. "Ace is a dickhead, but I know he loves you, he f****d up, but you ran away. Your both to blame, however he should have come back to check on you and he didn't" Drew wanted to tell Rose he sent that video, but he had no idea how she would react, he just hoped she wouldn't kill him for a choice he made for her and the baby. Both Drew and Rose helped Dana clean up the diner, it was Friday, but Saturday would be the worst. Rose avoided the group that caused her problems before, Dana understood and said she would cover them for her sake. When Saturday hit, Dana was stuck in the kitchen, Drew helped out, but they were still rushed off their feet. When they sat down Rose walked up to their table, her belly showing more prominently in the shirt she was wearing, but that didn't stop the smirks falling onto the idiots faces. "What can I get for you?" Rose spoke with a tight-lipped smile. The girls glared but remained silent. No one spoke and Rose sighed, "If you don't want me to serve you, I can get Drew instead" she offers. They're eyes go wide and all seven of them almost shout 'no' too loud. A few booths nearby looked at the teens but then turn away back to their own table. It had been a month of them coming into the diner and she was yet to know their names, not that she wanted to know them, they were arseholes and had nothing good about them. They feared and yet still had the balls to make fun of him. They finally gave their order to Rose who took it to the kitchen for Dana to make alongside the chef. Rose got the drinks ordered and as the last drink was placed on the tray her baby kicks putting a large smile on her face. All the tired days and a single kick from her boy made it all worth it. As she walked to the table of jerks, she heard their conversation. It was about them. Rose and Drew. "I can't believe she got pregnant by that murderer, of all people, if he wasn't a killer, I would have totally hooked up with him, what does he see in her, she's nothing fancy" one girl tells the others. Rose rolls her eyes and places the tray down, "Here you are" speaking with an overly cheery voice. one drink at a time she placed on the table. When she lifted the drink belonging to the girl who was bitchy, she 'accidently' let it slip form her grasp and it falls onto her lap. The girl squeals and jumps from her seat "What the f**k b***h, what did you do that?" she screams. Rose gives her best innocent eyes "It was an accident" she says. "Accident? You did that on purpose" she screeches. Everyone in the room looks at the situation unfolding. Unfortunately, Rose couldn't control the smirk slipping onto her face. When the girl saw she got angry, her face goes red. "You b***h" she screams and raises her hand about to slap Rose. People gasp at the situation unfolding, everyone knew she was pregnant. Rose wasn't going to get slapped, and she had a faster response than the b***h in front of her. Rose grabs the girl's hand tightly. The anger slipped from her face and turned to fear as she looked at Rose who held a malicious smile. Everyone watched as Rose twists the arm behind the girls back and shoves her to her knees, leaning over the girl who is crying out form the pain she whispers venomously "If you think Drew is scary, you should think again. I can and I will kill you without hesitation if you ever come at me like that again, and if I ever catch you talking about my best friend like that again I wont hesitate to snap your skinny ass neck" spitting out every word like it was poison on her lips. "Do you understand me?" Rose whispers harshly. The girl nods her head frantically with tears streaming down her face. Releasing the girl from her grip she grabs the tray off the table and makes her way back to the counter. As she walks away, Rose spots she girl running at her via the reflection of the window. Drew noticed and cries out in warning, but Rose already knew. Rose steps out of the way just as the girl leaps at Rose, she falls to the ground, and Rose couldn't help but laugh, she laughed so much she clutched her belly and tears rolled out of her eyes. The girl actually thought she could get to Rose. Turning over so she was sat on the ground, the girl glares at Rose. Suddenly Rose sobers up and then sends a murderous glare at her "You have five seconds to get up off your slutty ass and leave this diner, you ever do that to me again and I will kill you" she growls out in a tone that sent a shiver of fear down her spine. She scrambled to her feet and sped out of the diner, her friends following swiftly behind her. Drew walks up to Rose with laughter on his lips. "I haven't laughed that much in ages" he says, "How did you know to move out the way?" he questions. "The reflection in the window gave her away" she tells him. He was surprised, he would have never thought of using a windows reflection to watch his six. "You never cease to amaze me" Drew observes. Rose giggles "That's because I'm awesome". Dana came to check on Rose and then laughed about the girl hitting the deck. "That girl really needed telling off" she shakes her head at the attempt she pulled against Rose. "Only you would agree to the way I handled that" Rose said. The diner soon resumed as normal and went back to talking about things in their own lives. A few new groups came in, one of which being a thirteenth birthday and the entire diner sang for the birthday girl. Rose was knackered when she got back home, drew decided to spend the night with his gran having spent an entire months with Rose. She didn't mind, she was too tired for company that night. She had the morning free the next day and decided to make it a 'Rose and baby day' At eight in the morning Rose climbed out of her and headed to draw a bath. Bubbles, scented candles, and nice aromas filled the room. She walked to the kitchen and grabbed some matches while munching on a croissant. When the bath filled, she strips down till she was naked and carefully stepped into the bath. The warm water enclosed her body and she sighed in delight. It was so soothing on her body. Her ankles were slightly swollen from being on her feet, but Rose wanted to keep busy. A half an hour soak was exactly what she needed; she felt the stress wash away as she pulled the plug on the bath. Slipping on a pair of black skinny jeans, she was shocked she got them up her legs, however they didn't button up. Nothing that couldn't be fixed by a hair tie. She rummages through her clothes and slips on a shirt she stole form Ace, it smelt like him and that relaxed her. Slipping on her converse, she ties her hair up and grabs her keys and phone, and then stops at the kitchen for some food. Rose walks into the diner and it was busy as usual. She couldn't stop to chat with Dana as she never stayed in one place long enough to say a single word. Walking into the back Rose grabs an apron and dives right into the work. The day went by fast and she served about fifty customers, the moment one person left another two walked in. but with this work, Rose couldn't think about her family and she was glad. Close to three o'clock and Drew walked in right on time, she got his usual order and put it in front of him, he kisses her on the cheek as a 'thank you' since his mouth was full of food. Rose chuckled, then moved to clean tables. The door to the diner opened and the bell chimed above it, five guys covered in tattoos and wearing leather biker cuts walks in and took a seat at one of the booths. She had never seen them before and assumed they were passing through. Drew was also watching the guys when they walked in, "I take it there just passing through?" Rose wonders and Drew nods, "Never seen them before, other bikers have come and gone over the years" he tells her. Walking over to them, Rose takes a notepad out of her apron and their conversation ceases when she stands in front of them. Two of them looked alike, related no doubt. "What can I get you guys?" she asks with a welcoming smile. "Five root beers and five whopping burgers" one of them grunts. Rose nods her head and writes the order down. She collects the menus, except for one which was firmly in the grip of a biker. "May I have the menu please?" she asks sweetly. He looks at her amused "What do I get from it?" Rose rolls her eyes in annoyance "How about you being able to eat your meal without it being tipped on you beforehand?" she says to him still speaking nicely but her face showed anything but. The other guys laugh as shock fills the guy's face.
