Hey, I'm so sorry for not updating in such a long time! I'm not going to make up some excuse because I'm sure you guys have had enough of them. Again, I am sorry. :(
"How is the honeymoon going?" He asks me as I rub my stomach.
"It's going pretty well, just your grand child is always making me hungry." I reply and hear my Dad chuckle down the phone.
"Well, this is what happens when you're not careful." He tells me and I laugh at his warning. I lose my smile as I sigh when I remember that I want to tell him something.
"Dad, lately I've been having some... really bad dreams. I'm not sure what to make of them, but they always feel so realistic." I say and look down at the bump of my child.
"What happens in them?" He asks me and I could tell that he was actually concerned at the moment.
"I always start at home with you and Roy. Just being ourselves. But then it's like I'm being stabbed from the inside of my chest. I feel the baby start to struggle inside me and... then I'm in a white room. On the floor is a tiny basket. I'll walk up to it and I feel a sense of... emptiness in my chest as I see that there is a little note in there instead of my baby. But the note is always written in blood. It always says that 'death is coming'. What does it mean?" I ask as the burning of tears comes to my eyes.
The silence that folds over our call is deathing. I wait for his response for at least five minutes.
"I'm sorry princess but I have no idea. But maybe the note is a warning." He sounds unsure and this causes some tears to spill from my eyes.
"Dad... I'm scared. I don't want anything to happen to my baby." I couldn't help the crack in my voice, but I am terrified for my baby. I don't want my baby to die.
Neither does Roy.
"April, I want you to pack everything up and come home. It's the only way I can make sure that you are safe. I'll get the private jet to come and get the pair of you. Just pack everything and be ready by six." That was in three hours. Roy was outside on the beach, he said he a surprise for me. He made sure that I couldn't see him as he got this surprise ready.
I've got to wait until he comes back to tell him the plan that my Dad just told me.
"Okay Dad, I love you." I whimper as I wipe away a tear coming from my eye.
"I love you too princess." He replies and then the line goes dead. I drop the phone next to me and run my hands through my hair. I can't let anything happen to my baby. Even if the dreams are just a spook. I will never let any harm come to my child.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" His voice boomed in the lagre office. His face red as he stared at the young man in front of him.
"Jeez Lex, I think your age is starting to affect your hearing. I said-" Roy leans his hands against the desk top as he smirks. "-I slept with your daughter the night before she said 'I do'." At the final words, Lex's blood was boiling. He had let the boy touch his daughter. In his own home!
"GET OUT!" Roy just backed away slowly, still with the smirk on his face.
"See you around."
Roy and I had began packing as soon as he had got back from his run on the beach. I had explained everything to him and he understood; also wanting our baby to be safe. But also to keep me safe as well. As much as I'm going to miss this place, I have to go home. We can always come back here later. Maybe when our little baby is older.
"You feeling okay?" I turn my head to look up at Roy. I realised I was just staring down at my clothes in my suit case. I shake my head and smile up at Roy.
"Yeah. I was just daydreaming about what it would be like to come back here as a family." I reply and he walks over to me and wraps his arms around me. I lean back into his chest as he hands reach down to the bump of my stomach.
"That would be really nice." He kisses my cheek before helping me pack the rest of my things.
It take us long to get to the car and then to the airport. The plane trip took as long as it took to get here; which is about three hours. But during these three hours Roy and I begin talking.
"What if we lose the baby?" I ask as I sat with Roy's arms around me as we were seated on the couch in the private jet. I hated to think of this but I had to consider every side of all the outcomes.
"We won't April-"
"How can you be sure? How can you be sure that our child is in danger?" I grip his hand and place both his and my own over the bump of my stomach. I had gotten bigger since we were here. The back pains had begun too. But nothing a painkiller can't fix.
"April, look at me." I do as he says and look up at him.
"I will do everything to make sure our child will be safe. I'll the most powerful beings to use some sort power to keep this baby alive. I will never let you or own child come into harms way. We're family. Forever and always." His voice began to break when he was close to finishing his words. Tears forming in both our eyes as we shared a kiss.
Returning home felt strange to me. Especially when my Dad was staring at me none stop with a look that I can't describe. But for the most, all I can say is that he isn't very happy. Roy had to leave to go speak to his team. Leaving me to have time alone back home. Once I had finished unpacking everything, I went down to the kitchen to find Martha putting some finishing touches to a cake.
"Hello Martha." I say as I walk further into the room. Martha does jump and her hand flies to her chest.
"April dear! You shouldn't be here. You're going to ruin my surprise for you." She tells me as she steps in front of the cake.
"Martha, you know how I feel about surprises. I would much prefer if you would allow me to help you finish this cake. Then help me dine on it." I pick up a frosting bag and help Martha finish the cake.
"This cake is something of a work of art." Martha comments as I help her get a knife and plates.
"I think it is to dine on." I turn around to see Phil entering the kitchen. I grab another plate for him and then join the pair at the island in the kitchen. Phil cuts the cake and then places a piece on each plate. I begin digging in to my piece and it had a sweet sensation to it.
"Did you add lemon?" I look up at Martha as she smiles and nods her head.
"Lemon cake is your favourite. I thought it would be a brilliant way to welcome you and Mister Roy home. May I ask where he is at this moment in time?" She asks me and I know I can't let out Roy's secret. He would be in danger from my Dad and his men.
"He went to see his Dad. I didn't want to hold him on a chain and I let him go." I say without a moments hesitation.
