One Night Plus a Lifetime

DNA

the car stopped at a private practice hospital. It was a very secluded place yet very beautiful and calm. Aria looked through the window and realized what was going on in Devon's head. She knew he wanted to have the doctors test her for something's but why did this mean he was interested in this child. Did it mean he would accept it. Not that she cared but she had already decided to keep the baby for herself and She did not want him to be involved "this is my baby Mr Presley...just leave" Aria regretted ever going to inform him about the pregnancy and she was mad at Callie for bringing this man here.

She held onto her stomach protectively as if warning him to stay away from her.

"I made a mistake you are not the father ....am sorry ...am sorry my friends involved you..so now there is no reason for you to take me in there...you don't have to take me back either..i can find my way from here okay ...sorry but this baby is mine" she tried opening the door ,

he pulled her to himself and looked at her, if Devon had been angry before, then he was fuming with rage right now.

"You think this is a game...you think you can just come and ruin my career with your nonsense.." she wanted to pull her hand away but he wouldn't let go.

Devon lifted her chin and looked in her eyes he spoke slowly making sure she hears his every word . "you have no idea who you are messing with...you will pay a heavy price for everything you did Aria you will pay with your soul. For sending your friends to create a scene at my company. For wasting my time. And if its true you will pay for lying to me too" after speaking he opened the door and pulled her out.

Aria was surprised 'Callie and Meredith caused a scene at his company??' "i did not send my friends there i-".

"stop talking!!!!, I've had enough of you.. don't pretend your friends showed up there without your knowledge. Don't act pathetic and naive"

Aria did not know what to respond. How could she have known her friends would do that.

Her body was having a hard time keeping up with Devon as he drugged her inside the Practice. He was fast and she was weak. She almost fell,. He looked back at her, Aria just bit her bottom lip and looked down. What could she say, what could she tell to him convince him that she was not what he thought of her, even if she managed to do so was it all worth it, would he stop looking at her with those eyes.

Devon went straight to the doctors office, he did not wait or talk to the receptionist. He burst through the door, with so much force it made Aria flinch.

The doctor looked up in surprise. "Mr Presley....what brings you-"

"She is pregnant do a DNA test right now....i want to know if the child is mine"

Aria looked at him with shock in her eyes was this why he brought her here, if they do a DNA test he would know he is the father, what if he causes more trouble for her. She did not want that.

"Mr Presley ..we can do that but first we need to discuss this and-"

"there is nothing to discuss, do it now..i don't care how long it takes".

the doctor was quiet for a few seconds, he looked at Aria and saw the shock in her eyes. while he only saw anger in Devon's eyes, "okay..come with me miss......Mr Presley you can wait here ill have a nurse get your blood sample"

"Ill come along" he did not want to wait, Devon wanted to see everything. Even though this was his personal trusted doctor. He did not trust Aria.

Aria did not protest what was the point of doing so she had nothing to hide, this baby was his either way. She will bear this for sometime. Then she will leave. They brought them to a room and a nurse came in"shouldn't we examine the pregnant woman first doctor, its dangerous to draw blood off of a pregnant woman without knowing her state."

The doctor knew the nurse was right. "how many weeks?" He asked Aria.

"7 to 8" she answered. The doctor looked at Devon. "It is not too early for a DNA test our technology is advanced however we are worried about the mother ...it is not Advisable to do so in her current state her medical records state that she lacks a lot of vitamins and minerals she is weak and stressed."

Devon did not want to wait , he needed to know immediately. "there has to be another way to know," Devon argued.

"There is sir, you can know by the day she conceived and the number of weeks she is pregnant." The nurse walked in and showed the doctor a piece of paper that had Aria's records. "She conceived a month and some weeks ago ...is that the day you where.-"

"I don't care about that she could have been with someone else...i want to know if that child carries my blood. "

"Sir doing this will affect the mother and maybe the baby-"

"do it" Aria got tired of being talked about like she wasn't even here. "Do the stupid test and stay away from me and my child ...you really think i could have been with another man, i wish that where true, i wish i had been with other men, cause then my child would have a different father....do the stupid test...me and my baby will be fine." Aria had faith in her self and her baby. The doctor at the city hospital told her her baby was in great shape only she had to look out for herself. a single test wouldn't hurt it. The technology was advanced these days, you could determine the baby's DNA in as early as 5weeks. In rich hospitals off course.

"Miss are you certain-"

"i said do it- "

the doctor was hesitant. How can he do such a test on her with her current state.

"okay...we will begin the process".

The nurse took blood from Devon while the doctor worked on Aria. He would only need a small sample and it was not an easy thing to get.

Devon was surprised Aria insisted on going forward with the tests even though she would be risking her health. He noticed she was stubborn and fought back against him. What did he get himself into. Why did it had to be her of all people. Devon looked at his phone, he had received a text from his friend

"Where are you??" it read he ignored it and shifted his attention to Aria laying on the bed..

the doctor asked her to pull her shirt up. after he inserted a long hallow needle in her abdominal to remove a small amount of Amniotic fluid from the developing foetus. He was very careful as to not move recklessly and hurt the foetus or the mother any wrong move could cause a problem.

Aria lay there with her eyes closed. She wanted to pretend she was somewhere else apart from here, at home in her room. This man was cruel making her go through this just because he wanted to know if he was the father. But could Aria blame him, she asked for this when she asked him to stay with her that night. When she kissed him and when she went to find him telling him about the pregnancy. The needle hurt a little all she could do was bare with it. After some time the doctor was done. Aria felt weak and dizzy she fell asleep her body had finally given up and succumbed to dreams.

"The results will take a few hours , and don't worry about the pregnant woman, her blood pressure and everything is stabilizing all she needs is some rest."

Devon did not say anything and did not move from his chair, he sat there running every thing inside his head. was he ready to be a father 'no' he never thought of having kids or getting into such a commitment with a baby, his life and everything has always been career driven. He knew from an early age what he wanted to do, he knew the right choices to make. His life had been set what happened with Aria was a mistake he never saw coming it could cost him a lot. a lot of things he worked hard for and he wasn't ready to give up on that not for the sake of this pregnancy or for anyone else in the world. The possibility of this being his child was high, why didn't she take birth control was this her plan, to trap him like this, to ruin his reputation where those her motives. Devon cleared the last bit of respect he had for her, now all that was left was hatred.Hours went by he still did not move. Not until he got what he was looking for.

Aria opened her eyes slowly they felt heavy. Having a hard time registering her surroundings she blinked a few times. She realised she was still in this place he brought her too. Looking to the window, the sun had already set and Devon sat in a chair across the bed. When he saw her wake up he did not say anything just giving her on glance and then looked away. That did not bother Aria at all. She got up wanting to leave this place he got what he wanted right. She did not want to look at him either.

"Where do you think you are going" he stopped her as she headed for the door. Aria didn't respond to him and continued walking. "Are you planing to run away before the results come??".

"No i am not scared of anything especially you. i don't want to be here, you got what you wanted didn't you ??? am going now and i hope to never see you again Mr Presley.,"

she turned opened the door but he pulled her back and shut it loudly

"Whether this child turns out to be mine or not. i wont let you go anywhere you have a lot to pay." He pulled her to the bed and made her sit forcefully.

Aria was speechless what type of man was he. Somehow she felt fear hearing him speak like that. That was not just a threat that was a promise of action. What was he going to do to her. They sat there in silence no one was talking,

Aria realised she was starving it had been hours since she ate something and it was only a doughnut on the way to the city hospital. She held onto her stomach feeling the urge to eat grow , her stomach growled making a sound echoing through out the room. She needed food. if he wont let her leave the room how would she eat. Aria bit her lip feeling hopeless.

A few minutes later someone knocked on the door. Devon went and opened it. He spoke to the person on the other side of the door for some seconds before coming back in with a tray of food and handed it to Aria.

She blinked twice at him looked at the tray and looked at him again. Did he order someone to bring food for her, but why. And the food on the tray was fruits nuts and a salad. was this man suffering from multiple person disorder or something . One minute he is threatening her and the next he acts as if nothing happened. Did he do this because she was pregnant. Aria however did not want anything from him. She had already promised herself to repay him for the dress and the shoes if she accepted this she would owe him a lot more. so she looked away. "No thank you".

Devon did not insist he placed the tray on the bedside table another knock echoed from the door. The doctor walked in holding onto a brown envelope.
