Jade's POV
I can feel Beck's presence beside me. I try to stay expressionless, but it is getting harder and harder to keep the grin off my face. The pain helped. I had to admit "fainting" to keep Beck with me and not go after Vega was one of my more ingenious plans. Though, in the future, I'd have to keep in mind not to do another plan where I wind up getting hurt. I "stirred" slowly and looked up at Beck with "groggy" eyes.
"Beck?" I smile sleepily.
He grabs my hand in both of his, "Yeah, I'm here." He smiles. He looks so relieved I almost feel guilty for making him worry. He sweetly brushes a kiss to my knuckles. My smile widens. This is what I wanted. Just Beck and me. This was how it was supposed to be.
"Is the baby okay?" He asks, his eyebrows furrowed in worry. My smile falters slightly. I feel a spark of anger. I was the one in the hospital! I was the one who had fainted! But no, his first question was about it. Instantly I feel a strong hatred towards the thing I had created, a thing that did not exist.
I school my features into a smile and thank the acting Gods for my incredible talent. "Yeah, the doctors said it's fine."
"That's great, thank god." Beck breathed a sigh of relief and my hatred grew. "How are you feeling?"
I almost flinch; I was supposed to be his first and foremost thought and concern. That's what this whole plan was for! "A little tired, and in pain." I mumble.
"You're strong," he smiles kindly.
"Yeah…"
"Do they know why you fainted?" He asks his eyes dark with worry and guilt?
"Just a combination of fatigue and being pregnant," I srhug.
He nods slightly and than glances at his watch, "Well now that I know you're both fine, I really gotta head home."
"What? You're leaving me?" I ask before I can stop myself.
"Yeah," he glances at his watch, "I have a lot of work to do, and I need to see Maddie." He smiles fondly, and my stomach churns in anger and jealousy. "She can't go to sleep without me reading her a bedtime story."
I grit my teeth, "Yeah, well, she spent five years going to sleep without you reading her a bedtime story just fine, so you can just stay here with me."
"And who's fault was that?" He growls. I flinch, he never yells at me. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't yell at you in your condition, look I'll just see you—"
"No!" I yell, desperately clutching at his hand. "I'm the one who fainted! I'm the one who's carrying your child! I need you more than them!"
He releases his hand from mine and sighs. "Jade," He bends down and kisses my forehead, placating me like he has done a million times before. "I'm sorry, but I really need to get home to my family." It was like a punch to the heart. His family? I was supposed to be his family! Me! I had given him what he'd wanted, what Vega had and I didn't. He's supposed to come back to me. He walks out of my hospital room, back to them. I cry.
Beck's POV
I feel nauseous with guilt. It was my fault Jade fainted, my fault Tori was crying, alone. Everything was all my fault. I reach my car and send Tori a quick text updating her about Jade and telling her I'm on the way home. She hasn't texted me back from my six other messages, so I don't know why I think this time will be any different.
I slam my head on the steering wheel. Taking a deep breath, I turn the ignition and start my way back to Tori and Maddie. They were my family, my home. I sigh, what a mess I'd gotten myself into. Not only was Tori pregnant but now, also, Jade. What was I going to do? One thing I knew for sure was that I was not leaving Tori ever again. But I couldn't exactly leave Jade and our baby alone either. My head swam. What was I going to do?
Tori's POV
As I get Maddie ready for bed I hold back my tears as best as I can.
"Mommy?" She asks looking up at me with innocent warm brown eyes that make me want to cry even more.
"Yeah, Love Bug?"
"Where's Daddy?" She asks.
I flinch before coming up with a half truth. "He's with a sick friend." More like he was with his true love who was pregnant with his child. I place a hand to my stomach, was i going to have to this without him again?
"Oh. So, no bedtime story?" She asks sadly.
"No baby, no bedtime story." A tear escapes from my eye and I quickly wipe it away, but not before she notices...
"Mommy? I hug you all better." Maddie says squeezing me tight "Mommy, it's okay I can read you a bedtime story if you is lonely without Daddy." I laugh though it comes out sounding more like a sob, damn these hormones.
"That's okay, baby. Mommy only needs a hug from you and she doesn't feel lonely anymore." I squeeze her tighter to me.
Maddie squirms in my arms, "Mommy! Too tight." She complains. I smile at my precious miracle, the only thing in the world that could make me smile right now. I loosen my grip and kiss her softly on her cheek as I gently stroke her hair.
"Suddenly, my choice is clear. I knew it only you and I were standing here," I croon as we soon fall asleep.
I wake up to the feel of lips on my forehead. I open my eyes groggily. I squint my eyes to get a better look at the intruder. "Beck?" I whisper so I do not wake Maddie.
"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't make it in time." He says with true contrition.
"Help me up without waking her?" Beck gives me his hands and pulls me up. We quietly exit her room. We walk to the living room before either of us speak.
"Did you get my text messages?
I look at him blankly. "Text messages?"
"Yeah I must have sent you at least eight!" He says heatedly.
"No sorry," I pick up my phone from the kitchen counter and check it, eight new messages, "Sorry, it was on silent."I explain.
He purses his lips, "Look, Tori, I couldn't just leave her there! She fainted—"
"And she's carrying your child, I understand" I answer unable to look into his eyes. The girl he had loved for so long was finally having his baby, and now I had nothing on her. He'd certainly go back to her. The tears I had been trying to hold back for so long now freely cascade down my face. I try to hide it by turning my back to him. He quickly engulfs me from behind and gently kisses my neck. He forces me turn around, and gently lifts my head to make me look at him. He tenderly kisses my cheek and brushes the tears away with the pads of his thumbs.
"Tori," He mutters, and I can hear the pain in his voice, was he going to tell me goodbye? Was he going to say now that his real love and him were going to be a family, he didn't need ours anymore?
"Beck, please, don't leave me. Please, I can't take it, not again." I beg, "I love you, I love you so much. Please."
"Tori," He whimpers, but before he can tell me he's leaving me I kiss him. I grab his shirt and pull him closer to me, but I needed him closer still. I take off his shirt and than mine and press myself to him, but still it wasn't enough. We quickly make our way to the bedroom leaving a trail of clothing. "Make love to me." I whisper in his ear. If only for tonight, love me.
