Chapter 5: The baby's daddy

"Jeez, now is not the time for dying or fainting or whatever. Get the hell up!" that's definitely Sylar and I'm not dead. I am drowning though.

Wait. I'm drowning. "What the hell!" I scream while coughing and wiping the water from my face. Where did water come from. I looked up and there stands Sylar with a cup of water.

"good, you're up. The baby and Zoey are okay. We decided we should wait until Zoey is awake from her nap to get some answers before I knock her ass back to sleep" she spoke rather angrily yet her tone of voice is calm.

"Great!" I say sarcastically. "So, it wasn't a dream and I didn't die. Just wonderful! I need food. Do any of you need food. Imma go get food. I'll be right back." I say walking out of the conference room.

"I'm coming, wait up" both my sisters say at the same time.

They walked out with me to the cafeteria in the hospital.

Angel's POV

Jaime and I looked at each then back at our brother. If anyone knows Jacob it would be us and right now we know he is not in a stable place, he might do some stupid shit and get his parole officer involve. That's the last thing we want.

"How are you feeling, really?" I asked him.

He sighs and hangs his head. He then took a deep breath. Inhale, exhale. He started running his hand down his face over and over again, trying to level down his.. I don't even know. He looks to be having mix feelings.

"It's okay. I get it." I say

"I'm gonna kill her" Jaime states matter of factly

I shivered because she has this looks that says she will. She might just do it knowing her, she's sick. Jail definitely would be her scene.

"Jail would definitely be your scene, sis" Jacob says while chuckling. I laughed too.

"hey now, be serious about that. Already planning on getting my braids done" she says while flashing her hair. The three of us burst out laughing.

"I am disappointed" Jacob says as soon as our laughter died down. "I'm not dumb, 9 months ago we were together, hell 5 months ago we were together and she was being distant you know. I-I just didn't think she would cheat. Make sense why she wouldn't tell me about the baby."

"And why she left in the middle of the school year, didn't tell you and avoided you like the plague" Jaime adds.

"I'm gonna kill her" I state now. Again we all laughed.

"Damn I might just do it myself". Jacob laughed. We laughed.

We got some food and decided to eat in the hospital's cafeteria. Gives my brother time to cool down before we go back to the room. To the man that's the real daddy here. Ugh I really wanna kill her. Jacob won't say it and he'll play it cool but I know he's hurting. He cried when Zoey left and when she didn't contact him or reply to his calls and texts even his letters. Yeah he sent letters. Apparently she was in Mexico with her family. Jacob would've taken a flight to Mexico but my grandfather gave him a reminder of who we are and our worth.

We are genuinely good people and my brother is the best of us. He didn't deserve what she gave him and it makes no sense chasing someone who obviously doesn't want you or care or respect you enough to just say It's over. Some kind of closure at least. Zoey is a good girl or we thought she was but truth be told she was never good enough for Jacob. She treated him poorly but he was too head over heels in love to notice.

"This is an eye opener, ain't no more girls gonna hurt me. I could've been a player, unfaithful, a cheater! But you know what, I was raised better than that. I was raised to be a man. But, now I'm gonna be a teenager. Screw Zoey! I wish her all the best." Jacob says his little speech then discarded of the garbage before he head for the conference room.

Jaime and I scurried behind him. This is what I had feared the moment I heard she was pregnant.

Ashanti's POV

I'm jet lagged. Well I don't think I am for just a 3 hour plane ride but still. I'm jet lagged. Ugh I just wanna dive straight into the comfort of my bed but I can't because our home is yet to be set up. "Thanks dad!" I screamed sarcastically.

"you're welcome honey" he says with the biggest smile oblivious to my sarcasm behind my words. He was supposed to come here and get the house situated as he promised he would do. Now mom would have done it but, in this case, dad has the house decorating down and we love the way he coordinate colors and all.

But here we are, stuck in traffic heading to some motel because dad, 'thought mom would have reminded him to furnish the house' "Ugh!" I groaned followed by Shaday's loud sigh. Omari just kept shaking his head and mom rolled her eyes everytime she looked at my father.

"Guys, it will only take a couple days, I promise" Dad says. "oh! Like you promised with the house" mom says with another eye roll. Dad frowns and kept repeating apologies to us all throughout the car ride.

20 MINUTES LATER

"wow" "woah" *whistles* my siblings and I were speechless.

"Thought you said we were going to a motel, not some 5 star Hotel penthouse" my mom asked amazed.

"Well after what I did, I had to make it up to you guys. And well I want my family comfortable" dad replies

"We ain't broke but we ain't this rich" mom states

"spoke with my boss, explained the situation, he pulled some strings and boom" dad says with a smile and open arms around the place.

"It seems your boss pulled a whole rope, dad" Omari says and I smirk.

"Well you each get a room. Get rest, we are going out for dinner to celebrate this new chapter for us okay" Dad says

We all reply in unison with okays. "ooh I'm gonna take the best room here" Omari says running through the suite. Shaday and I ran after him.

"Omari don't you dare!" Shaday shouts and I get pushed back by both my siblings. Asses!

Alexei's POV (the dad)

I don't know whether that guy was heart broken or just... I don't even know. He seems greatly affected by me being here. He must be Jacob. Zoey told me about him, he seems like a nice guy.

After he left the other people in the room just glared at me. I felt unwanted but I'm here because of my daughter so they can just leave already.

As soon as that boy, I believe to be Jacob steps into the room, the doctor entered right behind him.

"Dr Reynolds. What's the news?" one of the women in the room asks

"Okay well, they are both okay" the doctor says and I release a sigh of relief.

"She is currently asking to speaking with the father" "that's me" I say cutting him off.

he looks at me for a second then continues. "No, The father of the baby. She said she wanted to speak with Jacob"
