My Shield

p2, chapter 12

After I had gotten dressed I sat back down on Seth's bed putting my head in my hands. I was a nervous wreck. We had to tell his parents about Ajax today, No having any idea how the would react made me a little skeptical about it. Feeling the bed shift I looked up to see a Smiling Seth beside me. Attempting to put a smile on my face Seth let out a soft chuckle.

"Don't worry. All they've ever talked about it grandkids." He sad rubbing my back.

"But what if they're pissed because we didn't tell them sooner?" I groaned.

"If they are believe me, once they see that beautiful little boy they'll forget everything!" He smiled.

"They better."

Seth stood up and held a hand out for me. Gladly taking it I stood and walked out the door with him, saying a little pray once we got down the steps. Entering the kitchen I let Seth's hand fall from mine.Taking my seat beside Eric I smiled at everyone.

"Mornin' Mornin'!" Randy chimed.

"It really is isn't it?" I chuckled looking at Seth quickly

"How'd y'all sleep?" Seth's mother asked as she started some eggs.

"Eh, I didn't sleep much." Seth said placing a hand o my knee.

"I wonder why, just friends." Sherry spoke.

"Sher, let them be. Maybe they'll give me a grandbaby now!!" Seth's mother cooed causing me to cringe.

"Speaking of-"

"So Colby," Randy interrupted, "we all know what went on last night. Please tell me you're going to settle down?"

"We had a baby!" Seth shocked everyone.

Seth's mom had worried look on her face, Sher and Eric just looked confused, and whereas Randy was laughing. This probably couldn't have went any worse. Seth stood up and cleared his throat.

"It's pretty complicated.." He chuckled.

"I'll explain," I stood up beside him, "Colby and I slept together before. But we didn't want to have a relationship together. Well I began dating Roman, you know, Leati and I thought he was my person. Colby and I stopped talking all together. When I found out I was pregnant I just thought it would be Roman's. He started abusing me, while I was pregnant. The only person I knew to call was Colby. He flew to Tampa to get me. Just the other day the baby began having troubles, I went to the hospital and gave birth to a premature little boy. Ajax, We had the test done, he's Colby's."

Randy stood up with an unreadable look on his face. Walking around the table to us he stared down. I couldn't help but look up at Seth. Slowly Randy placed his hand out while a smirk turned on his lips. Seth gladly took his hand in his and shook it. After that Randy brought me in for a hug.

"You did it. We thought it couldn't be done." She chuckled.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Tamed him. He was always a man whore. I guess you taught him right."

"Oh, it wasn't me. This one's all on Ajax." I smiled.

"Well, I think them eggs can wait. I want to meet my grandbaby!"

Everyone laughed as we decided we'd head to the hospital. Life was good. Slowly but surely, everything was finally coming together.

*At the hospital*

We were all gathered around Ajax. Randy and Seth's mother held each other tight while tears escaped their eyes. I cold tell they were happy tears though. Eric smiled as he looked over him and Sherry watched him intently. Seth and I stood together watching everyone in the moment. But suddenly my cell phone rang. It was a Tampa number.

"I'm going to take this." I informed everyone before stepping out of the room.

"Hello?" I asked answering he phone.

"Ashley. I need your help." Layla cried through te speaker.

"What's wrong?"

"Roman. He's not going to change. We were good at first the he just started.."

"You don't have to say it. I know.."

"He just left to the store. I have a plan but I need your help."

I thought for a moment. Sure Layla and I never really got along but I couldn't let her stay there and get beat.

"Okay, what do you need?" I asked.

"I know it's a lot to ask but can you wire me some money to get out of here and maybe a place to stay?" She cried.

"How about I do the next best thing, I need to come to Tampa to get some stuff from m old house. Ican come tonight and I'll pick you up. At least this way if you get caught you'll have reinforcement."

"Can you take him?"

"We can together."

"Shit. He's back. Text this number when you make it to Tampa."

Without anther word she hung up leaving me to wonder what the hell I got myself into.

A/N: Sorry for the super short filler chapter. Next one's going to be a lot better, I promise!!

So Seth's parents accept the fact that they had a baby.

Roman's treating Layla like shit now. Will he ever change?

And whatever happened to Dean? Next chapter Dean make's is comeback!(:
