SOLD TO MR GRAYSON - EPISODE 23

Natalie’s POV

I woke up to an empty bed….odd. Usually Carter’s a pain in the butt to get up.

I checked my phone, and saw no messages or missed calls.

However, it was 10: 46am. I walked downstairs in my tank top and sweatpants. Where is everyone?

I walked into the infirmary, and saw Kai playing Candy Crush on his tablet. I knocked on the door, then walked in.

“Hey Kai,” I greeted.

“Morning Nat,” he smiled.

“Where is everyone?” I asked.

“The girls are still sleeping,”he began,”And Kent, AJ, Carter, and Cole went to St. Clairs Asylum…again.”

“Why?” I wondered.

“That’s where Cole’s sister Jane is,” he replied.
“Oh,” I replied.

Cole’s POV

“Okay so we’re in the room,” Kent addressed,”But there’s nobody here.”

“She’s over there,” Carter chuckled, and pointed to a corner. Kent’s eyes widened, and he looked at me.

“That’s not creepy at all,” Kent replied, sarcastically. I walked over to Jane, and touched her shoulder.

“Jane it’s me,” I greeted. She did nothing.
“Are you sure you got her to talk yesterday?” AJ asked, with one eyebrow raised.

“CoCo,” Jane smiled,”Are the bad men gone?” All I heard was laughter from the guys.

“Yeah the bad men are gone Jane,” I replied.

“Good,” she replied, and stood up.

“CoCo,” Kent laughed.

“Shut up,” I growled.

“I’m glad you came back to see me,” Jane smirked.

“Hey she doesn’t seem crazy,” AJ gaped.

“I was AJ, but not anymore,” she explained.

“The why are you in here?” Kent asked.

“That’s what we’re here to find out,” I answered,”Okay spill it Jane.”

“Angelo Mancini,” she sighed,”He ruined my life.”

“Well he’s dead now,” Carter smirked.

“Let her finish the whole story,” I groaned.

“As I was saying,” she chuckled,”My husband, Mike, was in Angelo’s gang, but Angelo did bad things.

Mike didn’t want any part of that, because well…..I was pregnant.

Mike wanted out of Angelo’s gang, but his only option was to leave in a body bag.

Mike had this crazy idea of skipping town, and hiding off in Germany.

Of course we tried to go through with it, but we got caught. I watched the love of my life die in front of me.”

“Jane that’s terrible,” I sighed, and grabbed her hand.

“How did you end up in here?” AJ asked.

“The death of my husband left,” she paused,”A mental scar I guess. I became a hazard to myself, and my baby.”

“Where’s your baby Jane?” I asked.

“I gave birth here, and they took her away. My beautiful baby girl,” she cried,”She’ll be 1 year old next week.”

“When was she born?” Kent asked.

“April 26,” she smiled,”At 6:09am.”

“Did you get to name her?” I asked.

Yes,” she replied,”Cassandra. Cassie for short.

“You named her after mom,”I smiled. Jane nodded, and wiped some tears from her eyes.

“I’d love to keep talking,” Jane paused,”But we’re out of time.” The door flew open, and one of the workers came in, and shooed us off.

As I drove home I started to think about my sister. I have an idea.

“Hey Carter,” I smirked,”Don’t Natalie’s parents own a house in Alaska?”

“I think so,” Carter replied,”Why?”

“I want to get my sister out of that Asylum,” I answered.

“I’ll talk with Nat, and see what I can do,” he explained.

“Thanks,” I mumbled, as we pulled into the driveway.

2 days later

Natalie’s POV

Okay so these past few days have been…..crazy.The guys are back at the Asylum, and there’s a little girl in the living room.

But she’s adorable so I don’t care. The girls are all sick, and quarantined in the basement.

They’re in the basement because Kent didn’t want to get sick.

I picked up the little girl, and she smiled at me.

“Hello,” I smiled,”Who are you, and why are you here?” The little girl just smiled at me, and started sucking her thumb.

“That’s Cassie,” Kai chuckled, and wheeled himself into the room,”Cole’s sister’s kid.”

“Shouldn’t you be in bed?” I asked.

“Yeah, but I’m sick of being in bed,” he chuckled. I was about to say something, but the front door opened. Kent, AJ, Carter, Cole, and some chick walked through the door.

“Jane meet Natalie,”Carter introduced. Oh she’s Cole’s sister….she’s pretty.

“Hello,” I waved, then looked at the baby,”Here’s your baby.”

I handed her Cassie, and Jane hugged her. Jane cried as she held Cassie, and it brought tears to my eyes.

Jane pulled Cole into their little group hug, and for the first time I saw Cole smile. Not a smirk, but a genuine smile.

“Thank you baby brother,” she cried.

“You’re welcome sis,” Cole smiled. Cole pulled away from the hug, and asked Jane if she was ready to go. She nodded then Cole looked at me. “Keys?” he asked.

“Right they’re upstairs,” I replied, and ran up the stairs.

I walked into my bedroom, and looked on top of my dresser.

The keys to the house in Alaska were right next to….the pregnancy test. I still have to take that.

I grabbed the keys, and ran downstairs. I gave the keys to Cole, and he actually thanked me.

I smiled at him, and he softly smiled back. Is it opposite day?

Cole, Jane, Cassie, and AJ walked out of the house, and Kent shut the door.

“What are you doing out of bed Kai?” Carter asked.

“I’m tired of being in bed,” Kai whined.
“Well too bad,” Kent laughed, and grabbed the back of Kai’s wheel chair and pushed him down the hall.

“I’ll be in my office if you need me,” Carter smiled, then kissed me on my cheek. I smiled, as he walked down the hallway.

It’s time Natalie. I walked back upstairs, and into my bedroom.

I grabbed the box, and went to the bathroom.

I did my business, and set the test down in the sink. The box said to wait 5 minutes, so now we wait.

What if the test is positive? Babies and gangs don’t mix.

What if Carter doesn’t want the baby? What if he gives me back to my parents, and I never hear from him again?

What if some insane gang leader cause me to lose the baby?

If the test is negative, will it be a good thing? What if Carter did want a baby? What if- NATALIE shut up!!!!! We’ll figure everything out when we know the results.

I waited for a few more minute, then picked up the test….

Positive…. Oh. My. God.
With test in hand I walked out towards Carter’s office.

I stood outside the two big mahogany door, and then entered.

Carter and Kent were talking, but they stopped to look at me.

“Hey Nat,” Kent greeted.

“Kent could you gives us a minute,” I asked. Kent nodded, and walked out of the room.

I walked over to Carter’s desk, and sat down in one of the chairs.

“What’s wrong Nat?” Carter asked, worriedly.

I looked him in the eyes and, said,”I’m pregnant.”
