Brooklyn, New York
(Northside hospital)
"Alright Ms. Martinez you are good to go." the doctor had told her as she put on clothes that were given to her. "Thank you again Dr. Morales." She quickly put her shoes on and sat up on the chair she had been laying down on. "So Ms. Martinez, you're next appointment is going to be in January 6th, 2022 will that be okay with you?" Akira had agreed to it being that she knew she would be free that day from the smothering of Zander and Nora. The doctor had left after confirming the appointment letting Akira get up to head out to her car and go straight home but as she walked out of the clinic she saw the one person who she didn't want to see. "Marry me." He said as soon as he met her eyes. She looked at him in disgust and started laughing uncontrollably.
"No can do sir I believe you are already married to someone so if you could just let me be on my way." She said unlocking her car. "Why would you marry someone that you raped and let alone doesn't like you?" She said. "I want to be a part of this child's life." She looked at him bewildered. "You're a married man stop this nonsense." She scoffed as she opened her car door. "Who told you I was married?" Darian asked confused. "Because as far as I'm concerned I'm a single man who has only had one night stands and that's it." He says truthfully. Darian wasn't a man to keep a woman around for too long. He was a man who believed every woman married or not was a sex toy waiting to be played with. He never took a woman other than his sister and his mom seriously.
"No one had to tell me especially when you had a woman and child open the door day I was going to tell you." She said earning an eyeroll from him. " What woman are you talking about?" He then realizes that She was talking about his sister and began laughing hysterically. "What's so funny about you trying to be a manwhore trying to get a mistress?" Akira looked at him annoyed. "Nothing Mae. It's just that woman and her child aren't mine." He said truthfully. " So now your catering to woman who's married and has a child? You really a something Stone-Michaels." She started up her car. "In fact yes I do because she's married to my brother-in-law." She looked at him shocked while he looked at her amused. "Do you really think I would marry someone I'm related to I'm not one for incest that's kind of illegal you know?" He chuckled.
"You could have just said she was your sister." she pouted in annoyance. "But that would ruin the fun." He said. "Now will you please marry me?" She looked at him crazy. "No means no you know get that in your head." She went to close her door when spoke up. "Either you marry me or I sue you for all you have and take custody of our child." He said making her go pale. "You wouldn't." She felt herself having an oncoming anxiety attack. She didn't want to marry him but she couldn't and wouldn't let Darian take her only thing left to sanity. "If you want to be in the child's life why do I have to marry you?" She said getting no response. "My point exactly If you can come up with 3 good reasons as to why I HAVE to marry you for our child's sake then I will consider but until then my answer is no." She closed her door and went on to head home and pray that he would leave her lone about her child.
