Three Months After

"Good morning Mom, Dad" Damian greeted as he sat down for breakfast.

"Good morning Son. Do you have any plans this evening?"

"None, why?"

"The Brooklyn's are throwing Sophie a birthday party later today, we were invited"

"That's great. Will Diamond be there?" he asked

"You still haven't been able to reach her?"

"No Dad"

"She must've been really upset"

"Of course she was, I too wouldn't take calls from someone who said I'm just business"

"I know I did something really terrible Mom, that's why I'm trying to apologize. Her phone's turned off whenever I call and even her social media is inactive"

"Maybe she got a new cellphone. Just give her more time, her parents said she left the country in a hurry right?" asked King Carl, he nodded.

"I don't think she'd do all that because of you, she might've had an emergency"

"I agree. So, will you come with us to the party? You can see for yourself if she's back"

"I will. Sophie's my friend too"

At The Party

"Sophie, Happy birthday"

"Thank you dear. I just saw your parents"

He smiled,

"Here, I got you a present" he said, handing her a bag.

"Oh my, thank you so much. You didn't have to"

"Of course I did. I got one for William too, its in there"

"You did? thank you. I'll make sure he thanks you when he starts talking"

They laughed.

"Let's talk later, I need to greet my in-laws"

"Wait"

"Yes?"

"Diamond, how's she doing?" he asked, she smiled.

"She's doing great, I got off the phone with her few minutes ago"

"Really. I can't contact her"

"Yeah, she specifically said we shouldn't let you have her new number"

"She's still mad at me?"

"Meet me at the garden in 10 minutes, I really need to go now"

"Alright"

With a glass of wine in his hand, Damian paced restlessly.

"She was that mad?" he thought

"Sorry, took longer than I thought it would" said Sophie who'd just arrived.

"Its fine, you're the star of the show"

She smiled.

"So, about Diamond. Hold on, how's your girlfriend doing?"

"My girlfriend? you mean Jane?"

"You got another one?"

"No, no. We broke up, 3 months ago"

"You're single"

"Yeah"

"Great. I was gonna tell you even if you weren't anyways, you should know and then make a decision on your own"

"Did something happen?"

"The day you drank together, you really don't remember anything that happened?"

"I don't" he said

"Well, you slept with her and now, she's pregnant"

Thoroughly shook, he stared at her silently, mouth agape.

"Hey, did you hear me?" Sophie asked, snapping him back to reality.

"Um, I... I'm not sure I heard clearly. Did you say she's pregnant? And I'm responsible?"

"Yep, you heard clearly"

"What the heck"

"That's why she left"

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"Well, probably cause you were dating and because you called her a business contract?"

"I really didn't mean it when I said that"

"OK, I believe you. But, my opinion doesn't really matter so, you should go meet Diamond. If, you are willing to be responsible for her and that baby"

"Where is she? I mean her exact address"

"I'll text you. Now I gotta go, I'm sure people would notice my absence, its my party after all"

"Thank you for telling me"

"I'll accept that when I see what you decide to do"
