What Lily feared came true, making Zinnia's and my words go down the drain. Me and Zinnia couldn't just accept the news that Andrew walked away from Lily when he got to know she was carrying his blood. I never thought Andrew would do this. The love I had for him as a brother was being replaced with hatred and repugnance. 

Lily narrated the whole thing that happened to us once she pulled herself together. He was all lovey dovey until Lily unfolded the news that was meant to be celebrated. But things took a turn for the worse as he said to Lily that he was not ready to start a family and he was sorry. 

Lily didn't utter a word and as she was about to leave his apartment, a grasp on her wrist made her stop and look back at a grieving Andrew. But she knew that it was late to sympathize with him, as she awaited for him to empathize with her. 

To be there for her and caress her baby bump and plant kisses on their unborn child. To feel the little kicks that makes them both happy as they get to know their baby is all lively. To choose a name and clothes for their bambino and showering it with love and care even before it sees the world.

"This is..." Zinnia trailed off. 

Lily was lying on my lap, her eyes closed as my fingers glided through her hair, soothing her. 

"I can't believe it. I can't believe Andrew just turned his back at her and that too in this state."

I looked at Zinnia and gestured to her to lower her voice. She sighed and plopped down on the couch opposite to me with her head in her hands. 

"Zin," I called, making her meet my eyes. "We are gonna do this. We are gonna raise this baby. Lily is twenty and she's all fine with bringing her child to this world. She wants mental support so that she can be strong enough to raise this baby without Andrew's existence or support. We will do this for Lily and for our godchild," I said sternly. 

Zinnia nodded her head before looking at Lily and caressing her hair. 

Just then, we heard the doorbell along with faint knocks making me and Zinnia look at the door and then at each other while Lily writhed in irritation on my lap. Zinnia opened the door. 

"What do you want?" she yelled, making me stretch my neck and waking up Lily. 

"Can I talk to her?" A pleading voice of Andrew was heard that made me look at Lily who sat up and was as wide-eyed as me. 

Before Zinnia could say anything, Andrew barged in and froze when he saw Lily on the couch, looking like a mess. Seeing her, his eyes teared up even more as he knew right away that he was the cause of Lily's teardrops. 

"What do you want?" she asked coldly. 

"Lil-"

"What the fuck do you want?" she screamed at him, making everyone in the living flinch. 

"Lily..." Andrew dimmed.

"I gave every second of my time for this fucked up half year relationship and still you can't stay with me. I held you close to me as I was scared that you would break down when you were at your lowest. I was there to understand you like no one did and still stick around you like a lost puppy when all you did was push me away every single fucking time. I did everything I could to tell you that you're the one for me when you kept on chanting you're not good enough for me like some fucking mantra. And in the end, I'm the one who's hurt. I'm the one who's drowning in tears. I was doing everything to prove that you're not like my exes. But you proved wrong. You proved yourself wrong, Andrew. Now get the fuck out of my face," she said, pointing towards the door.
