A pt 13 preview

    " Hey!" Creed called walking up to Ari. " Hey". They hugged. " How have you been Cree?" " Good just trying to relax some." " Yeah how has the pregnancy been so far? I feel like the worse friend ever." " Oh no it's going to be fine... nothing big....just the regular" she lied. Her pregnancy was not normal at all. " I have just been busy is all" Ari said interrupting her thoughts. " Kane called me Ari and told me everything that's going on." " What do you mean?" " Kane told me all about Adam and what he does to you. I called you here today to tell you that wherever you are you need to be careful. He is looking for you and he knows about Lance." Ari was stunned. So much of her personal business was thrown in her face. " I can't believe you!" " I only asked you here to warn you Ari! he is angry! I'm only trying to be a good friend." " Good friend? A good friend doesn't listen to her business unless it's comes from her mouth!" " You just need time to cool off." " No Creed stay away from me. I knew I should have never trusted you. Your to close to him." " Who?" " Adam! your probably running back to him!" " No I'm not I swear." Ari just stared at her. " I'm only warning you just watch your back!" " Stay away from me." Creed watched as Ari walked away. How was she going to report back when she just lost all progress with her.

A pt 12

 

Ari watched as Creed walked up. The closer she got the more she realized how bloated she looked. What was wrong with her? " Hey Ari." " Hey how are you?" " Heavy." " What was this news about?" " I have something to tell you...I don't really know anybody else to tell." Ari was anxious. " What?" " Remember when you helped to my feet that day in your lobby?" " Yeah." " Well I went to the doctors today and found out I'm pregnant." " Congrats! That's such great news!" Her smile faded from view when she realized Creed was not as happy. " You don't understand this baby was made from a one night stand. I was not ready for a child but I couldn't get rid of it." " Creed a baby is still a blessing no matter how it was made......your not happy?" " I'm just worried. Everything is happening so fast. Look at me.....that one night stand a few a days ago and already I have a little bump. This is not suppose to happen so fast is it?" Ari noticed the bump. " Well maybe it's different for everybody. I will be here if you need my help. I love kids." " I was hoping you say that. Thank you." They hugged. " Why did we meet at the movies again?" " I just want to get my mind off things for a while. In times like this I would drink but I can't." " What do you want to see?" " Anything."

 

( After the movies)

 

Ari walked out before Creed waiting for her to use the bathroom. She was surprised to see Kane standing out front. " Well if it isn't miss hide and go seek herself" Kane smirked walking to her. " What do you want Kane?" " I have been looking for you all day today seeing as though you never came inside." " Your kidding my own husband won't even look for me." She laughed in disbelief. " I'm just following orders. Come on lets go." " No, I'm busy at the moment." " Don't make me force you." " Kane don't you see what's going on at home. Why would you want me to go back there?" " Your husband pays me not you." He grabbed her arm tight. " Let go of me!" " Hey!" Creed injected coming out. " Let go of her!" Kane was stunned by her beauty. " And who are you suppose to be?" " I'm Creed Ari's friend." Kane let Ari go. " Is she the reason you don't go home?" " Yes, I made a friend its not like Adam is home to care anyway" she lied. " I'll let you keep your arm if Creed gives me her number." " Excuse me?" Creed was dumbfounded. " You heard me your number or I'm taking her back home. Give me the number and I'll tell Adam I didn't see you." Creed began to laugh thinking it was a joke. He was dead serious. " Alright, alright here." She handed him her card. Kane smiled putting it in his pocket. " Good day ladies." They watched as he walked away. " Ari who was that?" " One of my husbands workers....long story." " Please share, I just gave my number to a stranger."

 

 

" Raven sorry I'm late." " No worries your finally here. Are you being followed?" " No they don't know that I left." " Good." She turned to face him. " I need your help Camden and your the only one that can help." " Raven haven't I already helped enough you said if I let you out we would be together." " You betrayed your cult and I disobeyed....there is no way we can be happy together if we have Demos on our backs. Once he finds out about us your dead for sure." She was right. " Well what do you want me to do?" " We need to kill him slowly along with the main heads." " Wait...one of the main heads are my sister and she is the only family I have left." She grabbed his face looking at him sweetly. " Camden your sister is only going to forbid you to love me, with her gone then we can really be happy." " I don't know about this we have already done enough." " Were just getting started. You and I can rule the underworld aren't you tired of taking orders. Just picture yourself in Demos shoes telling other weak minded clueless demons what to do." He could picture it and what a scene it was. " I can see it but not without my sister." " Look we wasted enough time being out here in the open like this. I'll be leaving town for a few days to take care of some business. Just give it some thought and meet me back by moonlight in three days. I can do this with or without you but I prefer you with me." Slowly she planted a kiss on lips awakening every part of him.

 

 

Kane walked into Adams building to find him standing in the lobby. " Boss man no luck finding the wife. I don't know where she could have gotten off to." Before he could respond he was interrupted by Nicki. " So you stand me up for this bullshit!" Nicki wobbled in with her stomach leading the way. " I waited for you! what happened?" " I'm sorry Nicki something came up." " These drugs are more important then your unborn child?!" He grew silent. " Well since that's the case don't worry about coming to the hospital when the child is born!" " Nicki please stop this...I'm working to support you two and you know that!" " Me and my baby can make it on our own without your filthy money." With that final statement she walked out getting into her car. Adam grew angry. Ari was M.I.A and Nicki was walking out on him. He was losing control and fast. That he did not like. " I need Ari here!" he punched the wall putting a hole in. Kane watched him in disbelief. Kane wanted to only to say only because he could beat her, but that was not his place or his woman.

 

 

" Tonight me Nessa and Crystal will search." Demos said to the others. " Where is brother?" " No time we must go before dawn breaks." As they were walking out Camden came in. " I'll catch up Demos I must ask brother a question." " Make it quick." Watching them disappear she pulled Cam to the side. " What is going on with you?" " What do you mean Crystal?" " You have been acting strange lately....is there something I should know?" " Why are you on my case like your my mother." Her hand went across his face. " Never disrespect our mother like that you know I only care about you and I worry." " It's nothing" " If it's nothing then why did I find this in your belongings?" She pulled out the key to Raven's cell. " You were in my things?!" He snatched the key putting it in his pocket. " If you have something to tell me then spill. Our necks are on the lines and were the only of our kind left." He was silent. " Look after our hunt tonight we will talk about this. I can never just trust you to stay out of trouble." She left to meet the others.

 

 

Finally reaching her apartment Creed went to the bathroom to view herself. This pregnancy was taking a toll on her body. The weight picked up some and her skin looked worn; flushed. Putting a hand to her stomach she wondered if it was a boy or girl. Then images of a mini her running around danced around in her head causing her to smile. At least she had the support of Ari. With her she would face this pregnancy with a brave face. Then that gut wrenching feeling came back. Quickly she rushed over to the toilet to throw up. After what felt like forever that she was hunched over she slid to the floor leaning against the wall. Pulling up her shirt she looked at her stomach in shock. Creed could hear a faint thud like the sound of a heart beat. Was she hearing things? Then right before her eyes a red light began to pulsate underneath her skin. What was this? Maybe she was just tired. Leaning her head back with heavy eyes she fell asleep.

 

 

Ari arrived back to Lance's apartment. Today was a long day. Hitting the button the elevator doors opened to Lance. " Ari I was just about to come looking for you." " Why?" " To see if you where ok but your here now. Room for one more" Smiling she entered the elevator placing a hand on his shoulder. He was where she belonged. Never was she so happy as she was with him.

 

 

To engrossed into each other neither Lance or Ari saw man standing there watching them before the doors closed.

 

Adam paced the floor wondering what he was going to do to get things back in control with the women in his life. A knock sounded at his door. It was 2:30 in the morning. He answered it to find another one of his workers West standing there. " You know your not allowed to knock on my door pass midnight right." " And I wouldn't unless it was important." Adam let him in. " This will only take a second. Your wife Ari I found her." " Where is she?" " With a guy he looks to be in the military. I saw them real close getting on the elevator over on Highland street." Anger wasn't the word to describe what Adam felt at this moment.........

Ari eyes wondered to Lance while he was In the shower. He was best she ever had. Amazing was the only way to describe him. This was where she needed to be. " I wish you would have taken your shower with me" Lance said stepping out. " I didn't want to wake you. Thank you for doing this for me." " You know I will do anything." " I don't want to go back Lance....I'm tired of the beatings." " We can worry about that later. I want to take you somewhere." " Where?" " Down to the lake and we can have a picnic." " That sounds great."

 

 

Creed walked in her home in a trance. Slowly she walked to the couch taking a seat. There was life growing inside her. What should she do now? Never did she plan having a baby under these circumstances. But getting rid of the baby was not an option she didn't believe in that. Now she would have to buy baby clothes, supplies, and watched what she ate. Already she was in mommy mode. The only thing wrong about this was the fact her child did not have a father. Created from a one night stand. Could she even bring herself to find this man and tell him?

 

 

" You know much about my life but I don't really know about yours". " What do you want to know?" " Do you have any kids back home?" " No, I'm waiting for the right one to have them with." " You said them. How many do you want?" she smiled. " I'm the only child in my family and growing up I always wanted a big family. I really don't have a limit as to how many I want but I want them with one." " I never dreamed of having kids." " Why not?" " I never thought Adam wanted a child so I never had plans for it." " So if we ever become more then this will you have my kids?" " Yes" she let out without control. He smiled. Then like a cloak silence covered them. " I feel like a swim" he said breaking the awkwardness. " A swim?" " Yes". Ari watched as Lance stripped the clothes from his beautiful body and walk into the crisp water. " Care to join me?"

 

 

She took off her shoes putting her feet in. It was a sight to see his body move so carefree in the water. " You have to get all the way in or I'm coming to you." " No we are not suppose to be in here." " Who is going to find out? Live a little". He dove under water and began to swim. Slowly she began to remove her dress. Live a little.

 

" Crystal you and Camden are to take first shift tonight." " Will do queen." Nessa could feel something was not right with her. " What is wrong my child?" " It's Camden he's been acting strange lately. I just worry about him." " As you should be he's your brother. He will be alright though." Nessa walked away to meet with Demos. If Camden was alright she would have never found the key to Raven's chamber in his box. How could her brother betray the cult like this? Putting away the key she went into the back room.

 

 

" This is crazy!" Ari screamed loving the way the water felt. " No this called having fun!" He swimed over to her looking into her eyes. " I'll remember this moment forever." Never had she experienced such words in her life. What was he doing to her? Raising her hand to his face he closed his eyes. " Lance I love you." It was as if the world stop turning and nothing was around them. " Ari I loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you." This moment changed everything. To late to turn back now they kissed sealing each others fate.

 

Adam paced back and fourth. " You called?" Kane walked in taking a seat. " Yes I need you to do something for me." " What's that?" " I need you to go find Ari and bring her back here. She knows better then to wonder off." " Where did you last see her?" " Out front but she never came back in." Kane stood to his feet. " I will go find her now." Again Adam was alone with his thoughts. Vibrating in his pocket jolted him back to reality. It was his phone. " Hello?" " Honey you finally answer my call." " Nicki, I'm sorry just really busy lately." " I know I just wanted to know if you wanted to go the doctors with me today for my check up? The baby is really getting big" " What time is the appointment?" " In about an hour at four." " I'll be there to pick you up."

 

 

 

Ari and Lance made it back to his place to clean up. " You want to take a shower with me this time?" " I would love to." Before she could follow up behind her phone rang that Lance bought for her today. Who could be calling her already. She saw it was Creed. Ari forgot she texted her earlier. " Hello?" " Ari I'm glad I can reach you. We need to talk" " About what?" " I have some news and I don't know what to do. I need your help. Are you busy?" Ari looked up the stairs and heard the shower. " I guess I can talk." " No...can you meet at the movies. I need something to get my minds off things for a while." " Sure what time?" " Let's meet around six." " Ok see you then." " Thank you Ari." The line went dead. " You ok?" Lance asked walking down the stairs. " I'm fine is it ok if I leave you for a few hours?" " You never have to ask me to do anything." " My friend sounds like she is in trouble." " Let me know if you need anything." " How about that shower first".

" Brother what happened?" " What do you mean?" " With Raven you were to watch her." " She escaped before it was my shift to watch her." " Something doesn't feel right about this." " Why are you so worried about it?" " Because things can get messy....I believe she has a inside man." Camden looked off. " Look whatever you do don't let her get to you. Raven is dangerous, besides your all the family I have left." " I won't trust me." To late.

 

 

Ari walked back to the apartment forgetting all about the food. When she realized it she was back home with Adam standing out front. He watched as a black car pulled off. Coming in slowly she feared what was going to happen next. " Where is the food?" " I forgot t-" He smacked her hard across the face. " Dumb bitch what are you good for?" She wanted to cry but what good would it do. Leaving her alone he went back inside. This was it.

 

 

Lance was surprised to hear a knock at the door. Answering it he found it was Ari. " Ari what are you doing here?" " I don't know Lance but I need you." Music to his ears. " Come in". She walked in taking a seat on the couch. " Are you ok?" he asked taking a seat across from her. " I'm fine" she lied. " I thought I never see you again after today." " I'm just confused in what I want." " You know how I feel about you now but I respect your marriage." " Lance what if I asked you to forget all of your morals for just a hour." " And I would ask you why?" Getting up Ari began to pace the floor. " I need something from you that I have not had in a while." He stood up confused. Before any words could part his lips she kissed him full force. Weak, he kissed her back knowing just where her head was.

 

 

 

 

 

This was just what she needed.

 

Creed anxiously waited for the doctor to come back into the room. Would he have good news or bad news. What was wrong with her? The door knob turned breaking her from her thoughts. " Ms. Laner your as healthy as a horse." " Then what is going on with me?" she needed answers. " Well I'm glad to tell you.....your pregnant." After hearing those words Creed went deaf. Pregnant? So soon. This couldn't be not now not like this. How could she care for a child when her own life was in shambles. Who was she last with? Demos....

Crystal was the last to arrive for the hunt of Raven. " Sorry I'm late I had a few loose ends I had to tie up." Nessa greeted her. " No worries your here now." Demos walked up to greet her as well. " Any ideas as to where she is?" Crystal asked. " We know that she is still here in town." " Great when do we look for her?" " Skylar and Laurie are out tracking now. We are going in pairs" Demos responded stoic. " Is brother here?" " Yes Camden is in slumber he will be happy to see you."

 

 

Spending the day with Creed Ari had to admit was fun. Coming out of the coffee shop they stopped to talk. " Bridgeport is quite a place" Creed said looking out on the town. " It's the kind of place you can get lost in fast." Creed didn't know what she meant by that. " How long have you lived out here?" " For a few years now but I pretty much stayed inside." " That's boring but I'm glad you came out today...seeing as though you just got out of hospital and all." " I had fun and besides I needed it after the night I had." " We should hang out again." Creed hoped she said yes. Her life depended on this. " Sure that would be fine." She screamed on the inside. " Here is my card call if you ever want to chat." Ari took the card reading the gold letters ~ Creed Laner ~. " Well it's getting late I should be getting home now." " Me too....It's so nice out...I just might walk home." " I'm taking the subway it gets dark pretty fast around here." " I'm a big girl" she smiled. They said goodbye and went their separate ways.

 

 

Raven walked down into a underground bar. Hoping she could go home for some things was a bust. She should have known Demos would have it covered. And to bring in out of town demons on her behalf. How special. " Hey Nikki." " If it isn't the devil herself. You know your name is becoming popular in the underworld." She took a seat. " Don't remind me. Bad enough I have Demos on my back now I'm homeless." Nikki laughed. " The big bad Raven talking like this...What is our world coming to?" " You know I always have something up my laced sleeve." They laughed. " What will it be?" " You ask me like you don't already know." " Death it will be." Raven watched as she prepared her blood. Mind reeling she asked ~ " How would you feel about a roommate?" ~

 

 

As Creed walked that pain started to creep up on her again. She could feel her heart began to race wildly as a heat began to rise making her sweaty. What was this sensation? Light headed she stopped in her tracks. Out of no where that gut wrenching pain shot to through her stomach. Instead of losing her breath this time a nasty bile came from the pit of her stomach causing her to hurl. Slowly the pain faded as her body went back to normal as if nothing happened. Did she catch a bug? Maybe she should go see doc after all. She made her mind up to make a appointment for first thing in the morning.

 

 

" Where is your head tonight?" Emmy asked Lance. " I'm sorry I just have a lot on my mind". " You have a good way of hiding it." This was a mistake he should have never agreed to go this date with her. He thought this would get mind off of Ari but it only made things worse. He knew just what he wanted and Emmy wasn't it. " It was a joke you know....haha". " Emmy I had fun with you today but I don't think this is a good time to date right now. I have a lot to deal with at the moment." She looked defeated. " Please...this is the last thing I wanted to do was hurt your feelings, but I feel like I'm just hurting you more by not giving you my attention." " Your right. This is why I like you. Your so honest." " I'm glad you understand." " You have my number. Just call me when your free....Of course I won't wait forever." He smiled. " Thank you." " At least walk me to my car." He did just that giving her a hug goodbye before walking to his. If Ari was meant to be he would see her again. And if he did she would not get away for a second time.

 

The Next Day

 

 

Adam woke Ari up early that morning to send her to the store to pick up a few things. He wanted her to cook breakfast for his men. His men she hated everything about them. The fact that they were always around and leaving a mess. She wondered how long Adam would be in this funny business he was in. As her mind wondered to other things she bumped into something solid. Looking up into those familiar eyes she stepped back stunned. Lance. They stood in silence for a moment just soaking each other in........
