How can she just stand there and act all merry, when it is painfully obvious that she is breaking both our hearts? I don't understand how she thinks that I can spend any time away from her. I don't care that child for all I know Mel got pregnant when she did a runner. Rachel is all I care about, I can't take it all I want to do is take her into my arms and never let go.
Before I even realise what is happening I'm in front of her looking into those chocolate coloured eyes, begging and pleading with her not to do this, not to us. We've been through so much to just get to where we are today and she's throwing it all away for e heartache that we both know deep down will never go away as long as we aren't together.
She stands there looking at me, perfection in my eyes still holding onto Danielle no trace of her earlier smile, not trace of that loving look she gave me just this morning.
"No Eddie, no."
"Yes Rach. That Baby is not mine, I worked it out Mel says she's 5 months along. She disappeared nearly 6 months ago, the timelines don't fit, that baby can't be mine, it's not possible. So let's leave this mess behind us and go, take off and get married as we planned. I can't go and won't leave you, I love you far too much for your manipulative sister to keep getting in our way." By now, everyone around us was quiet and had their attention fixed on us as if we could fix world hunger in one single breath, not planning our future together or at least me trying to save what we have together before once again Mel ruins everything.
"Eddie please, don't make this harder than it already is" Tears had started to streak down her face and I pains me with every droplet that slides down her cheeks.
"No I'm not making it harder I'm making it simple. Either we do exactly what we planned. So it's Yes or No."
