Princess to Prisoner

Convinced to go

We decided to wait until things settled a little bit. I didn't want to tell Auntie I was leaving with Antonio right after she just lost her son. She has been a wreck.

I have a doctor coming over today. I am 15 weeks along now, and they are going to be doing an Ultrasound. I'm really excited. I can't wait to see my baby. Also so nervous that they will find something wrong with it, or me.

When the doctor got here and was all set up, Antonio, and Auntie want to sit in with me, which of course I let them both. I lay down and Antonio holds my hand. The doctor puts the gel on my stomach. And then the wand.

He moves it around a bit. I can't tell what he is doing, or even what he is thinking. It felt like forever before he turns the screen and says "There is your baby. Everything looks perfect and healthy. Do you want to know the s*x?"

I squeeze Antonios hand with excitement. What? I asked confused, or just still taking in the fact that everything is good.

"Do you want to know if it's a boy, or a girl?"

He asks again.

I look at Auntie, and Antonio. They both look like they want to know. I really did. So I say "yes, of course!"

"You are going to be the mother of a healthy, bouncing, baby.... Boy!" He said as he showed me how he could tell.

I was so excited. With all the darkness lately, it was good to have some light to shine. I would have been excited no matter what. I can't believe I haven't bought him a single thing yet.

After the Doctor left. It was just me and Antonio. I know this can't be easy for him. It's not his baby. It's also not easy for me. I just realized I am have the son of my r****t. I start to cry.

"Whats wrong baby?" Antonio asks.

"I don't know, what if he becomes like his father? What if he does this to oth..."

He cuts me off. "He, isn't his father, and will never know his father. If you let me, I will be happy to be his father. I promise I will be here for him, and for you no matter what."

I couldn't believe what he was saying. He really is amazing. "You will be the best dad ever!" I am so lucky Antonio is here with me. How did I get so lucky.

Later that night Antonio and I we laying in bed. "I love you so much Antonio, and I love our baby!"

He squeezes me a little tighter. "I love you and OUR baby too." Taking a deep breath in. Almost sounding like he regrets what he told me.

"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing"

He doesn't sound convincing. "I can tell something is wrong. "Just tell me please!" I was scared he didn't really mean what he said earlier.

"I want to be the father, I want to be with you. I want to keep you safe. I just can't do it here. We have to tell them Kristy. It's not safe here." You could tell he wanted to say more, but didn't.

Letting out a sigh of relief. "I just don't want to hurt them. They lost so much."

"I know, but I don't want to lose more. You will be safer with me."

"Antonio, I do love you, so much." I say as I start kissing him. Not even giving him the chance to respond. I climb on top of him and take my shirt off. He removes his gun and lays it on the end table. He keeps it with him at all times now.

I grab his shirt to pull it off. He sits up so I can. Still kissing him all over, and he kissing me back. When out of no where I hear the window in our room break.

It was like instinct now. I grab his gun off the table. And point it at the window. He tries to take it from me. I will not give it up. "Baby, I got this." He says reassuring me.

I give it to him. I trust him. He walks to the window. Looking out he starts shooting. I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom and lock the door.

Cowering in bathtub. I hear a few more shots go off. Then nothing. After a few moments Antonio knocks on the door. "Kristy baby, its me. You are safe." He said.

I unlock the door. I am shaking and can barely breath. "How did they know what room was mine." I cried. I almost fall to the ground. He catches me, and tries to calm me down.

"Kristy. I love you so much. It really isn't safe here. We have to go. We have to leave. For you, and for our son."

I know he is right. "We do need to leave. I need to disappear. I need to not exist." I say, hoping he has an answer. "I don't want to fight and be in fear forever. I just want it to over. I didn't even do this." I say. I love him so much right now.

Auntie and Uncle D come running in. "Is everything O.k? What happened?" Uncle asked.

I ran to Aunt Anna and hugged her. "Antonio is... Umm.. I need too... Ummm. We are going to leave. At least until it's safe for me here." I finally said.

Antonio tries convincing them too. " She isn't safe here, and they will not stop unless they think she is dead. I promise I will keep her safe, and our baby safe too."

Antonio, and my uncle go off to talk. Leaving me alone with Aunt Anna. I don't know who has it worse at this point. I felt terrible about leaving her, but I know I can't stay here. He has to convince the the closest person to a father I have, and I'm not sure he will go for it.

"Aunt Anna, I don't want to leave here. I have no choice. I have to go. At least for now. Antonio will keep me safe. I am not safe here." I say as my heart breaks for her.

"I know this isn't what any of us want. I don't want you to stay here if Antonio can keep you safe somewhere else." She leaned in and gave me a hug.

We waited for the guys to come back in. When finally they returned. Uncle D told me to pack a bag, and keep it light I'll be leaving in the morning.
