A Demon...Or Two Just For Me Ch. 02

I had my time of the month, and was in fact still on it, but the morning sickness didn't stop I figured I should at least take a test. I cleaned the kitchen while I waited for the results, I walked upstairs and glanced at it. I think in a normal situation a woman in my place in life would think her life was over but I was honestly ecstatic to see that little positive sign appear. My first thought was that it was weird that I was having a regular time of the month while expecting, then I remembered that I wasn't sleeping with a normal man. I stroked my stomach.

"Hey little one I don't know how demon children or angel offspring grow but if you can hear me you need to stop making me sick or you'll go hungry."

I walked downstairs and looked for something to eat, then paused and wondered if he or she would let me keep meat down. I had seen Stefanos eat plenty of times and he was a huge carnivore. I took out a steak and cooked it just the way I liked it, medium rare, my stomach finally grumbled I hadn't been hungry for anything I'd eaten lately.

After I ate as I figured, I didn't start to feel sick I went up to my room and went to bed.

...

I woke up to the sound of someone yelling I grabbed my robe and walked out of my room I saw Katie was red faced and mom was trying to console her. My dad looked confused and a little frustrated.

"What's all the yelling about?"

"A.J. just informed us that his family, not just his parents, his whole freaking family doesn't approve of Katie and wont be coming to the wedding." dad said.

"Oh I see."

"You see? That's all you have to say?" mom snapped.

I shrugged, dad frowned.

"Little girl you have to learn to be more caring for Katie, she's obviously hurt and you don't give a shit." he said.

I shrugged again.

"What is wrong with you?" mom snapped.

"So his family doesn't like her, she can't make anyone like her."

Mom walked over and I knew she would hit me.

"Are you going to assault someone who is pregnant?"

She stopped, and everyone stared at me, mom started laughing.

"Oh that's a good one, so you've learned how to make the tension leave a room, that's one skill."

I frowned.

"I'm not joking."

"Oh Violet stop playing around, your sister is suffering." dad said.

I crossed my arms and mom stared at me.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." I said in annoyance.

"I'm shocked."

"...."

"I can't believe you found someone who was willing to sink so low, we will call it a new skill."

I glared at her.

"Well it's one I get from you." I said.

"How dare you!" dad snapped.

"You know, this is why my family doesn't like Katie." A.J. said through gritted teeth.

They glanced at him.

"You guys are just plain horrible, your daughter, your baby daughter just told you that you were going to be grandparents and you can't even congratulate her? I'm not sure this is the type of family I even want to be a part of."

He pushed past my mom and took my hand before tugging me out of the house, he was gentle but I knew he was pissed we got in his car and he drove off. We went to his house and he pulled me against him as soon as he closed the front door.

"We promise to thank you by giving you and our child the best home that we can."

I smiled as he kissed me, I wonder if he noticed that they spoke in unison when they made that promise.
