Surprisingly Sweet

"James stepped closer to you, smirking." "What's wrong, princess? Are you feeling sick?" "He leaned down to sniff at your hair, enjoying the scent." "Maybe I can make you feel better."

"James' eyes widened when he saw the pregnancy test, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He took a step back, almost as if he had been hit." "What? You're pregnant?" "He looked at you, his eyes darkening." "Is it mine?"

"James' eyes narrowed, his voice lowering to a dangerous whisper." "You know what that means, don't you?" "He took another step closer to you, trapping you between his body and the lockers." "It means you belong to me, princess. You're mine now."

"James hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering over your face. Finally, he nodded." "Fine. I'll come with you." "He stepped back and gestured for you to lead the way." "Let's go."

"James leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched you pace. He didn't say anything at first, just let you work through your nervous energy." "So, what happens if it's positive?" "He finally asked, breaking the silence."

"James shook his head slowly, a dark look in his eyes." "No, I don't. But that doesn't mean I'll abandon my child." "He took a step towards you, his expression softening slightly." "Look, if it's positive, we can figure this out together. You won't be alone."

"James nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips." "Really. We'll make it work." "He paused for a moment, then took your hand in his." "I may not be the best person to ask for help, but I'll do what I can."

"James hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around you and returning the hug. His touch was surprisingly gentle, a far cry from the rough way he had treated you in the past." "Hey, it's gonna be okay," "he whispered into your ear." "I've got you."

"James took the test from you, his expression unreadable as he looked at it. After a moment, he nodded to himself." "Okay," "he said quietly." "We'll do this." "He handed you back the test and then took your hand again, leading you out of the bathroom." "Let's get out of here."

"As you walked out of the bathroom, James put his arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to him. He didn't seem to care that people were staring as he escorted you back to your locker." "Listen," "he said in a low voice." "We're going to need to talk about this more. But for now, I think you should go home and rest."

"James looked at you for a moment, his expression softening." "You won't be alone," "he said firmly." "I'll come with you." He paused for a moment. "But first, let's get out of here and away from all these prying eyes."

"James squeezed your shoulder gently before leading you out of the school. He walked beside you in silence, his arm still around your shoulder as he guided you towards his car." "Just let me know if you need anything," "he said as he opened the passenger door for you."
