~Chapter Twenty-Six: Thank God~

Aleaxander's POV

Sitting patiently for my life to wake up was torture in itself but I could do it. I know I can. Leaning forward in my chair I place my hand on her stomach and gently rubbed her belly. I reached out with my powers to see if I could since the baby's heartbeat and after what felt like hours but was only moments I felt the little flutters. I laid my head on her belly and held my breath to see if I could hear the baby's heart, which I did. As tears started to roll down my cheeks, I thanked God over and over again for saving him/her. I would hate to have to tell Raven that our baby didn't make it, that would have killed her.

After maybe twenty minutes of crying and not really focusing on my surroundings I jumped when I felt a hand in my hair. Looking up I saw the most beautiful eyes in the world and my tears flowed freely...

Raven's POV

Feeling groggy and disoriented I tried to shift but my buddy felt like it was being held down by bricks. Opening my eyes, I had to blink a few times to get my bearings. Where am I? What happened to me? Is my baby ok? With all these questions flowing through my head I didn't really hear the whimpers until I looked down. When I did, I saw Alexander leaned over my belly crying and my heart broke. Wanting to soothe him, I reached over to run my fingers through his hair. When he looked at me tears just flowed from his eyes and my confusion, immediately turned to worry.

"Alexander whats the matter?"

"I thought I had lost you..."

"You would never lose me sweetie I will always be here for you."

"Raven do you remember anything thats happened over the past few weeks?"

"No should I?"

He looked me straight in the eye and his eyes were angry.

"Alexander what's the matter?"

"Rae your were poisoned." He growled.

"What? By who? Why? Is our baby ok?" I started to panic grabbing my stomach and I felt a little move within me. At least my baby's still here but I still don't understand whats going on.

"Calm down Raven. Please don't upset the baby. You have been in a coma for over two weeks. Luna poisoned you by switching out your smoothies with garlic infested ones. She intended for you to loose the baby. Trevor called you the day you blacked out trying to warn you but you didn't answer. Stormy had a vision of you and we got to you in time. But we couldn't understand why the baby was starving until you started mumbling about the smoothies being off. Thats how we found out about the garlic. We almost lost both of you but my aunt managed to save you both. I've been feeding you from my arm." He said as he lifted his wrist to show me. "So that you both could get what you needed to survive. The baby is strong enough now to protect you again, plus I felt it move within you. We were just waiting for you to wake up."

"Oh Alexander I am so sorry you had to go through that. Are you sure our baby is ok?"

"Yes I'm positive. Now can I please come and hold you? I've missed you so much."

As I shift on the bed he gets behind me and pulls me close to him. As he rubs my head with one hand and my belly with the other I finally feel complete and safe since waking up. "Alexander sweetie?"

"Yes love?"

"When was the last time you slept?"

"Two and a half weeks ago"

"You should sleep"

"No I need to keep you safe"

"I am safe in your arms. I promise I won't go anywhere until you wake up. Please get some rest."

"Ok but just so you know. You aren't going back home until after the baby is born or unless I think you'll be safe."

"Whatever you say love now rest."

"I love you both so much Raven!"

"We love you too.."

As he drifts off I feel him pull me even closer and I breathe in his a contented smile I drift off to sleep as well thinking how grateful I am to still have my baby and him.

Matt's POV

After all the excitement last night and me having to drag Becky out of the diner I was exhausted. I have never seen my girl so angry in my life and I was worried about her and our baby. Today was an early day and instead of going to practice I decided to go home and relax a bit before picking up Becky.

As I walked into the house I grabbed an apple and headed upstairs eating it. I went to the bathroom to take a nice hot shower. Hearing my cell phone go off I decided to answer it once I was out the shower. After drying off I headed to my room and laid across my bed. Picking up my cell to see who had I called, I saw that I had twenty-three missed calls. Looking through my call log I realized that most of them were from Becky. With panic setting in thinking something happened to the baby I called her back.

"Hello? Becky are you ok? Is the baby ok?"

"Everythings fine Matt."

"Oh ok. So whats up?"

"Nothing much where were you when I called?"

"Home in the shower."

"Hmmm is that all?"

"Yes why?"

"Did you go to practice today?"

"No why?"

"Where were you?"

"Home Becky I just told you that. Are you sure nothings wrong?"

"Were you with someone else Matt?"

"No why would you ask me that?"

"I called you twenty times and you didn't answer."

"I was in the shower."

"I think your lying to me."

"Why would I be lying to you?"

"I think you were with someone else and I promise I won't be mad if you tell me now."

"I WASN'T WITH ANYONE ELSE. I LOVE YOU! WHY WOULD I LIE AND CHEAT ON YOU?"

"I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK YOU ARE!"

"Think whatever you want. I am not going to defend myself over something so stupid. If you are being this insecure, you need to get over it and fast." And before sjhe could say anything else I hung up the phone. I can't believe she thought so little of me to think I would ever do hurt her like that. Seeing my phone ring again with her name flashing I just ignored it and turned on my tv until I fell asleep.

Becky's POV

After Matt hung up I didn't know what else to say or do. So I called him back but he didn't answer. After calling him a dozen times I threw my phone on the bed and cried into my pillow. What the hell is wrong with me accusing him like that? I know he loves me and would never hurt me like that. So why did I say those awful things?

I know why, because I had to listen to some snobby cheerleaders tell me about how he wouldn't want me after my baby weight comes. And how he was already looking for someone else to take my place. With their hurtful thoughts running through my mind, my hormones being out of control and Matt not answering I guess I just lost it.

After sitting in my room crying for a couple of hours and praying I didn't lose him, I got up and decided to go to his house. Making my way to my truck, I got in and drove to his house. The whole time trying to figure out what to say to him. After I parked in front of his place I got nervous but I sucked it up and got out. Knocking on his door I waited impatiently as his mom let me in. After a quick hello, I went upstairs to his room, I took a deep breath and pushed opened the door. Seeing him lying asleep on his bed all my nervousness came back full force.

Walking into his room I crawled onto his bed and lie next to him. I lie there staring at him for maybe an hour until he started to stir and wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked straight at me. He blinked a couple of times and than we just lie there staring at each other. As we just looked at each other I knew he was waiting for me to say something so after a few more minutes I said, "Hi"

"Hey"

"I'm so sorry Matt. I don't know what came over me" I said looking down.

"Me either. Why would you think something like that about me? Have I ever gave you a reason to doubt me?"

"No. It's just...It's just..." I started and dropping my eyes to the bed. "It's just these cheerleaders were saying that you wouldn't want me once I started showing and I panicked."

He reached over and lifted my face to look at him. "I don't care what other people may think. I am in love with you Becky. You are my everything and you having my baby just put the icing on the cake. Your it for me. I want forever with you but I won't put up with accusations. I need you to trust me like I trust you and you have to believe in us if you want this to work."

I believe in you Matt and I do trust you. It was just a moment of weakness and I got scared. I really am sorry and I hope you can forgive me."

"I don't know you really hurt me." Looking down I felt a tear roll down my cheeks at his words, than I felt the bed deep as he moved closer to me and whispered, "Of course I forgive you sweet girl. I love you just make sure it doesn't happen again."

"I promise it won't and I love you too Matt so so much."

After that he kissed me like he was starving and I surrendered to him as we connected in the most intimate way possible. Gosh I love this man...
