CHAPTER 74

'You go to hell! That's your home, isn't it? You she-devil!" 'JASMINE! ARIA!" STOP THIS NON- SENSE!" I shouted again. 'Shut up Evan! I can't believe you're actually allowing her to say all those terrible things about the baby and you're not telling her anything about it!" Jasmine shouted at me now. She was right. 'Shut up and don't speak to my man like that," Aria said to her. 'You want to come and shut me up?" Jasmine asked and made another step closer to Aria. I got between them again, wrapping my arm around Aria to keep her back. 'Jasmine, go back to your room. I'll talk to you when you calm down," I said, trying to put an end to this commotion and drama. 'No," she said and folded her hands over her large chest. 'Aria, go upstairs to my bedroom," I said to Aria next. I had to let one or the other leave the room. 'No," Aria said copying Jasmine, she folded her arms over her chest too. The other side of me just wanted to give up and let them go at each other but Jasmine was five months pregnant and I wouldn't ever allow Aria to hit her. I scooped Aria up over my shoulder and went upstairs with her. I landed her on her feet once I got into the bedroom. 'Stay HERE!" I said before locking the door after me. I went back downstairs and Jasmine was still standing there, looking at me in a way that made me uncomfortable in my own skin. 'She was the one who talked you into wanting a DNA test once the baby gets here Evan?" she asked. Her tone of voice rising with each word. 'I...I," I stuttered like an idiot. 'You're fucking unbelievable Evan Hollen. So she basically calls the shots now? She wants you to get a DNA so you're going to get it! She wants you to be silent and listen to her bad talking the baby so that's exactly what you're going to do, huh?" 'Jasmine, remember what the doctor said. No stress," I said, trying to calm her down. 'I'm not stressed, idiot." I couldn't believe how she instantly changed and was calling me names. A moment ago she was telling me how sorry she was for hurting me, and now I was an idiot? 'I'm not going to be comfortable if we have to actually co parent and you're still with her. I don't want my baby around that crazy woman." 'So what are you saying?" 'Are you slow? I'm saying that I don't want Aria acting as a goddamn stepmother to our son. What part of that you don't understand?" Without another word, she walked back towards her bedroom. I heaved a sigh and threw myself onto the couch. How much more can a guy actually take? Evan's POV 'I, for one, I don't like Jasmine. In my dictionary, she's definitely the definition of a gold digger. The DNA test is the best idea yet. You can't trust that girl Evan," Zack said as he drank his Diet Coke Soda. 'How is she a gold digger?" EJ, my younger brother, asked him. I had just got back from a meeting at another branch and decided to meet up with the guys for lunch. I had just told them what transpired between Aria and Jasmine. They already knew about everything else: Jasmine quitting, the breakup, Bradley, Jasmine's pregnancy. I regretted telling those two clowns anything because now they were going back and forth like Jasmine and Aria. 'I like Jasmine. I know she screwed up but nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes and learn from them," EJ added. 'Mistakes? Her leaving your brother for Pittsburg wasn't a mistake. It was a choice. And the only reason she made that choice was because those were her true intentions all along. Quitting and starting over with the millionaire. She's only back with Evan now because she discovered Bradley was playing her all along," Zack threw in his two cents. 'Man, don't pass any judgement on Jasmine like that. You don't even know her," EJ defended. 'But I know her TYPE. She must of banged with Bradley dozens of times, got pregnant and now she wants Evan to be the father because Bradley already has a damn family. Think about it. Jasmine is a liar and cannot be trusted. I'm all for Aria. Aria is beautiful, smart and self-made. She has her own money but yet here she is, sticking with Evan through all the drama Jasmine is causing because Aria loves him. Evan, do the DNA test," Zack said again. I stayed silent, listening to the two of them bickering back and forth. 'Well if Aria is so righteous and perfect, then why isn't she out there making new songs?" EJ questioned. 'Well why can't she take a break? She already has twenty hits! She's here to stand in Evan's corner and he should be grateful that someone is doing that." 'Zack, stop talking as if my brother came from The Nobody Tree and hit every branch on the way down. He's Evan Hollen. Of course Aria is going to stick around because she has bigger fish to fry than Jasmine."
