When Crickets Cry...

Speaking of that hole, the man who put it there was bugging Jennifer about their babies and she was slowly giving him clues.

A month passed and Zac had been throwing up for a week. His hands were shaking as he waited for the results of his pregnancy test.
It beeped and Zac almost didn't open his eyes. He didn't want to know.... But he finally did it...
A scream echoed through the house.
Positive...

Aaron ran into the room, busting his ass twice before getting there.
"Zac?! What is it!?"

Zac didn't even respond. He couldnt. He was shaking, frozen there. The pregnancy test lay in front of him on the floor.

Aaron picked it up and stared, horrified.
"Oh no...."
What would they do?
His father would flip...

"Don't tell... please... no one... I'll get an abortion and..." He trailed off.

"Oh momma...But thats....Your baby..." He shook his head. "I dont like it but still...."

"B-but... your daddy...."
Quincy would NEVER take him back now...

"My daddy loves you....But momma this baby....your baby..."
He didnt want his little brother to sister to be killed.

"It's MARKS!" He cried, covering his face. "What the hell did I do? Why the fuck did this just have to happen to me?"

Aaron hugged him.
"Because you brought a real monster home to us....Just...Momma it will be okay."

"I'm s-sorry... I thought h-he was good..." Mark had been so nice and sweet... wouldn't hurt a fly... at least that was what Zac thought...

"I want to kill him so bad right now." He hugged Zac tighter. He needed to hurt him....just had to.

"Don't baby... I... I need to get an abortion... don't tell anyone... please..." Zac looked up at him pleadingly.

"But Zac! This is what happened to you! We cant...no...you...Come on..." Aaron shook his head. "I wont let you."

"But I-I.... I can't... no...." He couldn't have this child...

"Yes! You can! Zac your keeping it! I wont let you hurt it!"
He had to fight because that baby couldnt.

"but I don't want it!" He yelled hopelessly, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"He is your baby...."
Aaron looked hurt...

"But... but..." He hung his head. "Okay..." This would kill him... but he'd have it.

"Thats good momma." He hugged Zac, and kissed his forehead.

"What do you think your daddy will do if he hears?" Zac bit his lip.

"Kill Mark?"
Aaron hugged him tighter, his father would be heart broken.

"Will he be mad at me...?" He asked softly.

"No, he will be hurt but he wont be mad Mom....He cant be mad..." Aaron knew this about his father.
