Chapter 58: Big Bad Mafia Boss
(TYLER)
Miles and Sasha’s expressions look pretty serious. I have no idea what they are talking about, and neither does Sasha bring me up to speed when we get into the car.
Sasha makes numerous phone calls on the drive. I don’t know what the calls are about though because he speaks some foreign language that I don’t understand. I realize that he is very busy today but still made time to drive me to the hospital. I feel flattered until it dawns on me that maybe he decided to drive me himself because he doesn’t want people to know that I’m aborting his baby behind his back.
Most things he does usually serve his needs. Not mine.
I am relieved however that I’m finally going to get rid of Jake’s baby. The procedure makes me nervous, but I’m not going to let Sasha know that. I won’t give him a reason to turn the car around. I get the feeling sometimes that he doesn’t want me to go through with the abortion. What I don’t understand is why he sort of cares for this baby. Maybe it could be what he told me earlier, that having the baby would give his mother something to focus on.
He drives into the hospital premises and parks the car underground. He shuts the engine and then turns to me. "How far along are you?"
"About fourteen weeks," I frown. "Why?"
"I didn’t have an answer for that when the doctor asked me yesterday. It matters because the doctors don’t recommend using the pill when you are past eleven weeks."
"Really?" a feeling of dread takes over me and I grit my teeth. "What does that mean? That I’m going to be stuck having the baby?"
He reaches for my hand. I’m sure he must have heard the panic in my voice. "I don’t think so. Maybe what they mean is you just got to have a surgical procedure instead. If that’s the case then I think they can schedule that."
"But you can make them give me the pills."
