Sebastian's Chance (The King Brother's series Book 2)

by G. Bailey

  "How do you know I will be?" her face is just curious now as she talks.

  "I'm good at guessing," I shrug and she giggles before saying.

  "Let's go and get lunch Sebby." tugging on my hand as we walk to the lunch hall. I grin at the nickname knowing I like hearing her say it.

  Maisy didn't say no and when I ask her to be my girlfriend a month later, she gives me my first kiss and says yes.

  I wake up from that memory in my dreams before remembering everything that happened yesterday, what a complete fuck up. A father, I'm going to be a fucking father. I can't believe it and it's with Maisy. The girl I dreamed of having it all with before I fucked up, maybe this is the wake-up call I’ve needed for a long ass time. I need to sort my shit out.

  I shake my head to get out of my thoughts and check the time on my phone. It’s seven in the morning and I haven't slept all night. I came straight back from seeing Maisy and went to bed to avoid my worried family and their questions. My brothers and Izzy tried to talk to me but I couldn't give them answers they need without thinking and a night of restless sleep didn’t give me any answers besides one. I’m going to get my girl back and have the family I’ve always wanted with her.

  I have three months until l I meet my son and I need a fucking good game plan which starts with a home. Maisy and my soon need a home and I'm going to buy one, I have fuck loads of money which mean nothing without her, I learnt that the hard way the last few months. I inherited well over one million when I turned eighteen and I haven't touched it other than to drink myself to death. Now the reason I want to spend it is a decent one, I need to fix all my mistakes the best I can and take care of my new responsibilities. My gaze goes around my blue and black themed room; my massive bed takes up most of it with a TV in the corner on the wall and two bookcases next to it. They are filled with books I spend way too much time reading, not that anyone other than Maisy knew about my secret hobby. My wardrobe is huge and filled with a stupid amount of clothes; I know I will be donating a lot to a charity soon. I grab my laptop out of my bedside unit and switch it on as I make my bed.

  I open my laptop and spend hours looking at houses nearby. I don’t want to be too far away from my family as I’m going to need them and I finally choose three to look at. I book appointments this Monday to view them and ponder how I’m going to get Maisy to see them with me. I know she is the most stubborn women I’ve met and I can’t use sex to get her to agree with me like I used to. Fuck I’m going to have to ask for help.

  I hop in the shower, dress in a black hoodie, blue top and jeans before making myself go downstairs to face the music.

  I see Izzy first in the kitchen drinking water; she is wearing a blue dress that I helped her buy and black leggings. Her green eyes latch onto mine and she puts down her drink and runs to me pulling me into a massive hug. For someone so damn small, she can hug tightly but I swear she makes everything better; my sister is awesome like the mother I never had I guess. I never thought I needed women in my life after Maisy went but Izzy is different to have around.

  "Are you okay?" She searches my eyes while sitting back down on a stool facing me.

  "I don't know," I say honestly while getting a bottle of water out the fridge.

  "I’ll text the boys, we need a family chat Sebastian." she says seriously with her worried gaze watching me like a hawk.

  "Yeah, we do." I sigh grabbing an apple out the fruit bowl and leaning against one of the counters taking a huge bite.

  "You didn't know?" she enquires gently, there isn’t any accusation in her voice which makes me relax rather than tense up.

  "No," I say and she nods at me, she trusts me not to lie to her and I like that she doesn’t need to ask me again. I grab some cereal and start eating it out of the box. It's a bad habit and something I used to do as a kid but I couldn't give a shit now.

  "They are all in the gym, let’s go," she waves at me and I put my stuff away before following.

  I follow her down to the basement which is converted into a gym and all my brothers’ glance up when I walk in. the music is blasting as Elliot continues punching the crap out of a punching bag and Luke is running on an exercise bike. Harley is doing weights, which is what I would usually be doing now if I didn’t need to sort my shit out.

  There is a few sofa’s next to a bar in here too and I walk over to the bar stools with Izzy while my brothers sit on the couches after Harley uses a remote to switch the speakers off.

  "So congratulations daddy," Luke says with a grin, always the smartass.

  "Shut up Luke," Izzy says with a playful groan and glares at him.

  "Right just to start with, are you going to be there for this baby?" Harley says starting the serious conversation. Harley is watching me with a degree of calm and I know that if I say no his anger would spike and it’s likely he would enjoy telling me how fucked up I am.

  "Yes of fucking course I am, we discussed this last night. I have my work cut out as she doesn't trust me but won't stop me being in my baby’s life." my words are clipped and more defensive than I should have made them. While Elliot won’t look at me, Luke nods with a big smile.

  "Good. Have you thought about how you’re going to cope with a baby and uni?" Harley asks drawing my stare back to him. I meant to be at university now and I’ve missed a load of classes since I started anyway. I’m just not interested in the course and I’m not sure why I even bothered getting in, it’s a waste of money for me.

  "Not yet, I'm looking at buying a house and moving Maisy in.” Luke frowns going to say something but I carry on speaking.

  “Look, her parents are crazy and she can't get out without my help but she is too damn stubborn to accept my help. What do I do?" I ask.

  "You’re moving out?" Elliot says and spares me a look full of judgement.

  “Yes,” I answer.

  “Another fucking irresponsible act. Your fucking eighteen and this girl has fucked with you enough; don’t leave your family to live with her. You can move her in here.” Elliot says and I clench my fists so I don’t punch my twin. I love the fucker but he doesn’t understand feelings or what it’s like with Maisy, hell he never fucking did.

  "I don't think she will let me live with her but I hope in time we can sort us out. You know I love her bro. I never stopped but I fucked up in more ways than one." I look away from Elliot as I don’t want to hear about his opinion on me being irresponsible, fuck I know I was.

  "If she loves you it will work out," Izzy says with a kind smile.

  "What did you do?" Luke says leaning back in his seat.

  "I really fucked up, end of story," I say making sure my tone tell them I don't want to discuss it. It's a long story but I need to fix things with Maisy before anyone knows, the last thing she needs is my family to pity her or her hate me more for telling anyone.

  “I agree with the house and you need to persuade her to move in. We need to sort out these last fights we owe and you can't fight now, so we’ll sort something out with your next fight. Your family needs you and Maisy doesn't know about your fighting, does she? She would freak if you come back like that." I grimace at his words, I used to just stay home and not see her when I had big fights before, and it was easy to say I was ill around once a month but now I can’t leave her.

  "I can fight. I can't just leave you guys to do it." I shake my head; I'll just have to tell her but how the fuck do I bring my fucked up life up.

  "It's final; you’re not fighting Seb and also no more partying or girls. Maisy won't like that and you need to be responsible." Harley says and he is right. When Maisy called me out on my man whore ways last night I never felt so shit in my whole life. I guess I convinced myself she was off with another man by now.

  It will be so much worse she finds out about Elena. I shudder realising I need to tell her about that but it will start the conversation about how we broke up and I'm not sure I can handle how much hate I see when I ask her to talk. How did this get so complicated, oh yeah
I’m a fucking idiot?

  I put my hands over my face and rub it.

  "I realise my behaviour recently was fucked up and honestly I feel like shit. I hurt her, I know that." I tell my family, we have been through so much I know I can trust them to help me with Maisy.

  "You weren't together and you were upset with her leaving," Luke says gently, trying to give me an out I don’t want.

  "Yeah but that’s no excuse, while I was having fun, she was pregnant and alone. I'm a real prick." I tell him.

  "No, you’re not. You didn't know but I could see how sad you were. All that was done in sadness but you never really cared about any of the girls or the parties." Izzy says and gives me a pat on my back.

  "Your right I never cared and I don't remember most of it. It was all nothing compared to her" I drop my head as I try to think about what I need to do.

  "Then you need to win her back," Izzy says with a smile as I look at her.

  "She hates me and with good reason," I tell her.

  "No she doesn't Seb; I saw the way she looked at you. The way," I cut her off by saying.

  "She hates me and what’s worse is that she doesn't trust me. She thought I knew because someone texts her off my phone telling her to get rid of the baby." I tell them all and I watch as Harley’s face confronts in anger, Luke is the same and Elliot is looking away but I notice his fist clench slightly.

  "Who would do that?” Harley spits out.

  "No idea. I was a mess when she said she had messaged me. I was with a few different girls every night." I look away from the pitiful looks on my brother’s faces.

  "Do you think it could be a jealous one night stand you had?" Izzy comments.

  "Maybe," I stand up and start to pace near the bar.

  "Maisy invited me to a scan next week. That's a good sign right?" I ask with a small smile feeling the excitement of seeing my child. My thoughts flicker to the scan photo I saw last night, I couldn’t make out much other than a head shape and maybe an arm but man it hurt my heart. I know I would do absolutely anything for the little man already.

  "Yeah man," Luke says nodding at me; I notice he has a new tattoo on his wrist that’s covered up. Luke is covered in tattoos all over his arms and his back. His designs them himself and he has done mine too. Luke is the youngest but the only one of us brave enough to be starting to grow a beard; the thought makes me internally grin.

  "Make sure you bring me a picture of my niece or nephew," Izzy says with excited eyes that make me smile bringing me back to the present.

  "He's a boy," I tell them and watch as Izzy’s face lights up.

  "Congratulations." My oldest brother, my guardian and hell the only man I’ve ever looked up says with a big smile. Harley has shoulder length brown hair that is a slight bit longer than mine, he is taller than all of us and I wouldn’t like to admit it but the fucker is likely the strongest fighter of us all.

  "Yeah man. I have no idea about babies and that but I’ll be there to help." Luke says with a small laugh as I nod my thanks.

  I look over at Elliot who is saying nothing.

  "Are you sure it's even fucking yours Seb?" Is all he says. I see red and I’m in front of my twin who stands eye to eye with me. My twin who looks very little like me, Elliot has wavy black hair that curls around his face, unlike my very short lighter brown hair. We are the same height but Elliot prefers to look like a biker kid all in fucking black leather all the time.

  "Of course it fucking is. We were together five fucking years and she wasn't with anyone else, I would have known." I tell him with a glare.

  “Like you knew she was pregnant Seb,” he taunts and I feel Harley push me back behind him as he stands in between us both.

  “Elliot, go and cool down,” Harley warns.

  "Congrats," Elliot says to me, his words dripping with sarcasm, as Harley moves away and he storms out the room. I hear the door bang as I rub my temples to help with the stress. Fuck, I have no idea what to do and arguing with him isn’t going to bloody help.

  "The fight is tonight. Luke's on, are you coming?" Harley says while walking over to a worried Izzy. He talks quietly to her and she seems to relax at whatever he says that I can’t hear.

  "Yeah," I say.

  "I'm off to see Blake and I'm staying over tonight. So good luck tonight and message me when it's over." Izzy says to us and hugs us all before leaving.

  I feel my phone buzz in my pocket as I sit next to Luke who has his tablet out and is playing some farming game.

  Elena: you want to hang tonight? xxxx

  Even seeing her name, I know I have to get her out of my life. Maisy will never forgive me for the mistake of being with Elena but seeing me around her, well I know she will leave me. It's not like I really like Elena anyway which makes me a fucking prick for even thinking it. She was just a way to get back at Maisy because she left me and then after she was always around, it was always easy.

  That makes me sound like a prick and I know I am but I felt like my whole world ended. I always wanted a second chance and now just one look in those brown eyes and I know I have a small chance.

  Me: no sorry. Look I have a lot going on at the moment. I don't think we should see each other anymore. I'm sorry

  She replies quickly

  Elena: what's going on? I'm your friend I don't see why I can't be around you xxx

  Me: I can't be friends with you. Look, find someone that deserves you.

  I think that sounds like a nice way to tell her to find someone else, she really needs to because hell I was sleeping with different girls when she was always around and no one deserves that.

  Elena: are you serious? We have been fucking for months and you’re just going to drop me! You can't do that!

  Me: I am sorry

  Elena: you will come back to me. Whoever she is, it won't last long xxx

  Me: you need to forget me and delete my number

  I push my phone in my pocket and I go to change before joining Luke and Harley in their workouts. Around an hour later we all eat but don’t talk anymore about Maisy which leaves me enough time to think. I spend the next few hours getting ready for the fight with Luke. I’m not too worried as I know his opponents is slow and Luke’s trick is he is so fucking fast that you don’t see it coming into your flat-out on your back.

  It's nine pm and we are driving to the fight. I can't help myself and I text Maisy as Luke drives, he smiles a knowing smirk before looking back at the road. I want to smile back but any of Luke’s fights make me so fucking nervous, I just want to take the fight off him. I look past my mirror as Elliot drives past on his motorbike; the damn fucking thing is massive and fucking loud.

  Me: how are you today? Were your parents alright with you? X

  She doesn't reply right away but I expect that and I start looking up pregnancy at six months on my phone. Most of it isn’t too bad but I'm scared by the end of my reading. Cravings, backache and something fucking weird called Braxton Hicks seem the weirdest and scariest stuff. I haven't even got to the birth part of the page I’m reading.

  I need to buy some pregnancy books and then when I have the house I want, I can get lots of baby stuff. Hopefully with Izzy, as I have no idea what to buy and I have a funny feeling Maisy isn’t going to like me spending a lot of money, the only good thing is I can buy a dozen outfits for my little man.

  We exit the car and walk into the cage twenty minutes later without talking. Luke goes off backstage to get ready and I order a beer at the bar with Elliot. The stubborn bastard as I like to call him hasn't said anything to me yet. I can tell he is thinking about everything and I know it’s more to with his insane fear of any change in his life. I smirk internally thinking back to how well he took finding out about Izzy and her coming to live with us.

  We Maybe twins but we aren’t as close as I am to my other brothers, I don’t blame Elliot for our fucking upbringing but Elliot became distant more as we grew older until today where he barely talks to us about anything
.

  "Seb, about earlier. I was in a shit mood.” Elliot says which shocks me enough to wait for him to talk to more.

  “Fucking hell, Lily broke up with me." I glance at Elliot as he talks, his jaw tenses and I don’t know I how I didn’t notice that he hasn’t shaved today. Actually, it looks like he only bothered to dress and not sort his messy black hair out. Man, does no one in this family give a shit about how they look other than me?

  "Shit bro I’m sorry, did she say why?" I ask a little more shocked but I knew things weren’t good between them recently from the fights I’ve overheard.

  "Lily said she loves someone else and wants to be with him. Fuck it, I’m glad I don't love her but I still want to find who it is and kick the living shit out of them." he clenches his beer so tight in his hand I’m surprised it doesn’t smash.

  "Damn. She isn't worth it." I say patting his back and I know she really isn't. Elliot doesn't love her and I glad he actually knows that as I know she was more of a distraction from who he really wants. I glance at my brother and wonder if he would ever do or say anything to her but I know how he feels about Allie. Allie is my sister Izzy’s best friend and used to be Maisy’s. I have to admit she is hot and kind of crazy but I wouldn’t ever touch her, shit most guys I know wouldn’t in case Elliot finds out. I know she feels the same way but the two of them are as stubborn as each other. It’s like a fucking tension room when they have to be around each other.

  "Yeah I'm moving on." He nods in the direction of a hot red-head and blonde dancing together on the dance floor. I don't think it's a good idea for him to use those girls, but fuck I did the same. How can I judge him for being me a week ago?

  "Alright." Is all I say. Elliot only glances at me briefly before leaving to go over to the girls. He dances with them both for a little while before he whispers something in the blonde’s ear and pulls the red-head to his other side as he then whispers something to her. It takes him maybe one minute of whispering before them both nod and he walks to the back with them.
