Shut up. Sirius mutters, his dark gaze piercing onto Leon. Leon sobs, hiding his pale face in his hands, his legs shake and give out as he slides to the ground. Fuck- shit. Sirius drags his hands up his face and sighs deeply.
Is it mine? Sirius asks, referring to the baby.
I don’t know..
Fuck.
It’s not my fault.
I know. I know baby. Sirius kisses Leon on the nose and puts him in his lap, comforting him. What he did isn’t your fault, you need to realise that baby.
I know..
How am I gonn- I’m In prison, I can’t have a baby, how do we know my body could even take it?
I’m not sure if it could Sirius mutters as he strokes Leon’s back.
I don’t want a baby. I despise children. I’d rather die. I’m a man Sirius! A man. I- I kept it such a good secret but they’ll all find out if I- I’m pregnant!
Leon. It’s okay. You get out in five months, I can rent you an apartment close to mine, you can’t stay in mine, they check where you live and have my address in the files.
Can I- when they stop checking up on me can I live with you?
Mhmm. If you want to baby.
Can you- can you get me a pill, to you know, get rid of it…
I don’t want to hurt you. What if you regret it? What if your body can’t take it.
I won’t regret it.
But what if you do?
I- I don’t want them to know Sirius, they’ll hurt me. I was lucky the- the man got moved to another prison but if it happens again I probably won’t be lucky again.
I’ll think about it.
Sirius shoves Leon off his lap and stand up.
Work-time, better get to the shop baby.
Bye. Leon whispers as he speed-walks away trying not to seem suspicious.
Leon! Hiya shortie. Alexei, the Russian immigrant sing-songs. Hi. Leon sighs the word.
Tired?
Yeah, yeah I’m tired. Leon answers, his voice breaking on the last word.
Don’t cry to me, Alexei says.
«I won’t. Nice to know you won’t comfort me though.»
I don’t have the fucking emotional capacity to deal with this shit, you’ve been crying for weeks! And you won’t even tell me why.
I- I can’t tell you.
«Exactly.»
