Chapter 27

Bruce's P.O.V;)

My father died 3 months after the prank on his car. I didn't know he had a tumor until he was on his death bed in the hospital. That is why I hate those things.

But Fûck him! He was fûckin some slut than spending time with his family. I didn't go to the funeral, but my mom did. She knew about his "whores" but she still loved him. I didn't really feel sad when he passed because I lost the love from him along time ago. But my mom said that he would come home with the migraines too, but he would smoke weed to get rid of the pain, so that's how he died.

Now I know that I have this life threatening tumor in my head, and there's a possibility I can survive from this. But the question is, can I afford it?

Once those words left his mouth, everything went mute. I could only see Ariel burst into tears, the doctor trying to calm her down, but why would she? I could die. The love of her life could leave her with his child.

I was confused, because this all seems like a dream. I feel like I would just wake up any minute now, but this is reality. And it's a bîtch.

Dr. Clark is showing me some numbers on some papers, while Ariel grabbed my hand and squeezed it really tight. I saw his mouth move but I couldn't hear any words. I looked back at Ariel and see her paying attention to him and using tissues to clean up her tears. I didn't want to make her cry. If I knew she was going to cry I would've made her stay.

Finally all of this comes crashing to me and I can hear everything.

"-and we made a call to your insurance and they said they would cover it. So we would like to start in two days, so we can get everything ready. Ok?" He said while getting out papers for me to sign.

"Would he make it through the surgery?" Ariel said while cleaning her nose and rubbing little cycles on my hand.

"It all depends on Bruce." He said while looking at me.

I didn't say anything, I just nodded when he asked some more questions or I only sighed. He told me to come back tomorrow so I can spend the night there and the can start the next day right away.

We soon left and Ariel said she would drive, I didn't refuse only nodded and gave her the keys.

We drove in awkward silence waiting for one of us to cut the ice. No one did.

When we got to the apartment, I walked straight to our room and locked myself in it before Ariel can come in.

She softly knocked and tried to open the door.

"Bruce? Can-can I come in?" She said in a low tone.

I didn't answer only went to the bed and laid in my back.

"Bruce please. You have to have someone there with you. Just plea-"

"Just leave me alone Ariel. I just want to be alone right now." I said while cutting her off.

"O-oh o-ok. Well... I would be down stairs if you need me."

I turned on my side and just thinking about how I could die any time.

I guess I better make this life worth it.

****

I got up from laying down for 30min and got my keys and my jacket, and made my way down stairs.

Ariel saw me from the couch and quickly got up.

"Where you going?" She said while dusting off some popcorn off her shirt.

"I will be back. Don't worry I won't take long. Then we can talk. Ok?" I said while kissing her forehead and rubbing her stomach.

"Ok." She said while blushing. I smiled and walked out the doors to my car.

****

"Okay that would be $7,856. Would that be cash or credit?" The cashier said while putting the ring in the a small black box.

"Credit." I said while giving him my card.

There is no way I can afford that in cash.

Once he swiped and typed in some numbers in the machine he gave me back my card with the box.

"Good luck man. Hope she would say yes!" He said while a smile.

"Yeah. Let's hope." I said giving him a small smile and turning around and walking away.

****

I made it back to the apartment and I don't know when to ask her, but I just know before I go into surgery.

I saw that Ariel is asleep on the couch watching her Gotham, with all kinds of junk food on the coffee table. I smiled and cleaned up her mess and turned off the tv. I made my way to her and I made sure I hid the box in my pants really good and picked her up bridal style and made my way towards are room.

'One day I would carry you like this on your wedding day and you're in your wedding dress.'

"What are you doing? I could walk you know." Ariel said in low voice.

"You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you." I said while kicking open the door.

"Oh. Thank you then."

"You're welcome." And placed her on the bed.

I took off my shirt then my pants and shoes and climbed in the bed. Ariel did the same with some pjs and A sports bar on.

She was laying on her back and was staring up on the ceiling. I made my way down so I'm between her legs and I have myself popped up on my elbows.

"W-what are you doing?" Ariel said while trying to close her legs.

"Shhhh. I just want to talk to my son or daughter." I said while keeping her legs open so I can lay my head on her stomach.

"Oh. Well you should've said something, I thought you were going to do... Something else." She said while blushing.

I looked up and smirked. "You dirty dog."

"Did you call me a bîtch?!!"

"What! When did I say your a bîtch?"

"You called me a dog!!"

"Ariel. I was playing. Now. Let me talk me to him or her, ok?"

"Fine." She said while crossing her arms.

'Gosh. Pregnant women with their crazy hormones.'

"Hello there." I said while placing my mouth next to her stomach and rubbing her stomach.

"This is your dad, and I just want to tell you I would protect you everyday. Ok? I would never leave you. Do you hear me? I would never leave you. I love you as much as I love your mom. Maybe alittle more." I said while whispering that last part, but then got a slap on top of my head.

"Okayyyy , the same as your mom, but I can't wait to see if your a boy or a girl. Because if you're my little boy, I would teach you to protect your mom and be tough, and I would teach you how to stand up for yourself and to protect your future wife even though when you are growing up you would think girls have cooties, but then you would start to date one. But if you're a girl, you would be my little princess and I would teach you not to like a boy and you would never like them because they would just break your heart and then I would teach you how to fight too so you can beat his little ass up for breaking your heart. But I would spoil you but not to much and make you a little brat, but just enough for you to be greatful. But what ever you are, I love you and I can't wait till you are born and I can hold you and love you every minute I'm with you." I said while kissing her stomach, and I felt him or her kick.

I looked up and saw Ariel look surprised too.

"Did... Did you just kick for daddy?" I said while holding her stomach and staring at it intensity.

Then it happen again, and I smiled and kissed her stomach.

"I told you, you would love your dad." I said while smiling and then going up and kissing Ariel's lips.

"I love you so much. Thank you for carrying our baby. I love you so so much." I said while kissing her all over her face then ending it on her lips.

"I love you so much too. And I can't wait to see the gender." She said while smiling.

I just smiled at the thought of me being a father.
