Chapter 230 - Don't abort the baby

"What solution, hun?" Sonya doesn't believe there's a way out aside from abortion right now.

Her mind was still full with Gregory and Clara's issues and then sleeping with a stranger and now a baby crowned it?

What would she tell the child when he or she asked who the dad was?

Would she tell him/her that it was a one night stand?

That would be the prime reason for bullying in school as the child grow.

She didn't want something like that to happen. It might be something both of them would be having sad moments on, in the future.

"Clara, I think aborting it would be a good choice. I shouldn't be soft. It hasn't taken a human form, so I'm guessing it's okay, right? Oh god! I don't think I can do this." She ranted and Clara hugged her tightly.

"Let's talk about this later. For now, I think you need to rest." Clara said, not knowing what else to say and wanted to call Leo.

Sonya wept silently and even though things turn out this way, which brought her here, she was glad to be with Clara.

She was happy to feel her warmth and pleased to still have her to run to.

She cried more till she fell asleep. She just landed before coming here and the pregnancy perks still improved her want to close her eyes.

She felt drowsy and just wanted to remain in bed. It was what made her go for a check up anyway.

Hearing her breathing got even within a short span, Clara continued patting her back for a long while, because she wasn't letting go.

Immediately Clara tried to stand up, she would call her name in her sleeping state and asked her to stay.

To not leave her alone.

Clara patted her hair softly. She looked like a little girl that had been scared with big monster tale and scared to be alone.

She wished and hope they wouldn't get separated again.

....

Clara ran to her room after covering Sonya with a quilt and made sure that she was now sleeping peacefully.

She picked her phone immediately. She dialed Leo's number with a shaky hand and immediately it went through, "oh my god! Leo." She said in a hurried tone.

She needed a word of comfort that would stop her friend from crying when she wakes up.

"Hey! What's going on? Where are you?" Leo asked worriedly.

"It's Sonya. She's back here. She's currently in my house." Clara said, breathless.

"Baby, breath. Is everything okay? She's still angry?" He asked.

"No, not that. She's pregnant." She broke the news and just like Clara, Leo exclaimed in shock.

His heart raced wildly at the thought that a demon baby was conceived. That everything they thought was falling into place would still fall apart.

That thought scared him and he finally asked how that was possible.

"Not a demon child. She got drunk and slept with a stranger." Clara saved him from his misery.

"I caused it, Leo. If I hadn't done that to her. If I hadn't taken her memory, she wouldn't have gone through that." She added.

"That's past now. You did what you felt was right due to the fear of losing her. Even though it wasn't a wise decision, you still did it for her sake, so stop putting all the blame on yourself." Leo scolded and Clara was silent.

"What should I do? She was thinking of getting an abortion, but I don't think that's the right thing to do. It seems she wanted to keep the child as well, but scared about the future. If she goes ahead with it, it will hunt her. 

I don't want her to feel hurt any longer." She said.

"I understand. I will advice against abortion as well. Everything happened for a reason and I believe there's a reason for that mistake occurring. That mistake brought her back to you earlier than expected and it might make her feel better for what she went through.

She always felt like she only has you in her whole world and now there's another being. The one that would be her flesh and blood. Tell her to keep it. If you guys need any help, let her know that I will do all I could to help.

Don't hurt the baby, because it will hurt her more." 

....

Sonya woke up and felt less awful about herself.

The first thing she did was touching her stomach, still unable to believe that a living being is there.

Clara soon joined her and adviced her to keep the baby.

Leo advised that Sonya shouldn't think of abortion, if they need help with anything, he would do whatever it takes to render it to them and so many promises.

Sonya agreed and thanked her, but it wasn't that easy.

After crying for so many days with Clara always there to assure her everything will be alright and petting her, she finally accepted her faith.

She ended up realizing that crying wouldn't solve anything. It's a waste of time and also affect her health.

She had cried to the extent that she nearly passed out, if not for Clara who soothed her pain with her power. 

Now, she's tired.

She had the money to cater for the child anyway and she has Clara, who is always there for her.

She had nothing to worry about, at least till the child grew up and asked about his/her father.

She decides to move on and stop torturing herself with tears and heartbreak, because it's not changing anything. The times she was supposed to spend with her friend in happiness, was now in sadness.

She was either crying or stumbled upon Clara so deep in thought. The way Clara ran about the house and getting all things ready, trying so hard to cheer her up, was enough.

She wasn't only suffering herself, but doing the same to Clara.

She didn't like that.

Clara also feel at ease after Sonya started loosening up and became her former self again.

Slowly both started talking about things that would make them smile.

Sonya, despite feeling hurt, mentioned to Clara that the father of her unborn child was the man that saw her with smudged makeup, then.

***

The little princess was enjoying her break, ever since Clara left to be by Sonya's side, which she believed her prayers pushed her away.

She has been acting lazy all around the mansion, knowing that sooner or later, Clara will come back.

For now, it's fun fun fun!

"You should do your assignment Belle. Your daddy will be angry when he comes back." Mick said to the little princess who was busy watching sponge bob square pants cartoons on her iPad, giggling and mimicking the character's speech.

She found it more pleasing to the ears than listening to the teacher rants for hours. The annoying part is how she was forced to repeat after the teacher most of the time, like she was a little kid.

She wasn't categorizing herself as a kid at all.

Hearing Mick's words, she paused the video and changed her mood instantly, "grandpa! He wouldn't know if you help me do it. Just this once. I promise to do it tomorrow hun hun hun." She said, blinking her eyes and hugging his arm.

Mick smiled at her cuteness, before realising he is being tricked again.

His smile froze. He sighed and held her back. "You say this all the time and I'm sure you will say the same tomorrow as well." Mick said, helplessly. 

"I promise I won't, just for today and I promise to be good." The little princess replied with a pitiful expression. 

"Don't say that, sweetheart. You are always good and adorable. I will do it today, tomorrow you do it yourself okay?" Mick patted her hair.

Belle hugged his neck, 'You say that all the time as well.' She said in her mind and flashed Mick a sweet smile before resuming with her cartoon. 

....

"Oh! It's so sweet to be back here. You really need to fill me in on the details of how you get my former boss hooked.

We couldn't even look at him, you also despised him then." Sonya said as she and Clara stepped into Leo's mansion.

Sonya wanted to meet Belle and they decided to use that opportunity to step out of the house after a week of staying indoors.

Clara forced a smile. She now understood what Leo meant by, she can torture herself as much as she want, once Sonya forgives her.

Even though Sonya is being her former self and speaking freely with her, she felt like her heart is being squeezed each time Sonya speaks.

She felt herself imagining all Sonya went through because of her, and still manage to forgive her and be so nice.

Her forgiveness is torture to her heart indeed, she couldn't laugh with or tease her like she normally did.

She returns most of her questions with a smile, and nod.

It still felt so awkward.
