Week 22 of pregnancy

Sweat poured off of her body. She was in the building again. This time there was no fire, no smoke, just she and her panic-stricken mind. Alex was nine months pregnant as she walked up the stairs that once took her security away. Her whole body was shaking as her hand touched the doorknob to where she first got grabbed.

Alex stepped in. The room smelled. Her stomach lurched. She would never forget the smell as long as she lived. It was of semen and blood. The hair on her neck stood on end. She felt a hand grab her from behind and drag her to the attic. She couldn't see her capture, but she knew who it was. She was thrown to the ground. Her arms went protectively around her stomach but they were pinned to the ground. She looked at the person who captured her, but there was no one there. It was a faceless force.

"Let me go." Alex whispered to the air above her. The force gripped her wrists tighter. She tried to struggle even more but her stomach was pressing against something. "Please." Alex started to panic.

"I like it when they beg." They said. Alex tried to struggle, but she got no where. She felt a body being pressed into hers tightly.

"GOD HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. Alex's body trembled with fear. She could feel Jade within her being frightened as well. She felt a hand on her thigh, moving upwards. Alex begged for the force to let her go as she felt the hand enter her. Alex cried out in pain. The hand continued to enter her. "Oh god!!!!" She felt the force start to rip Jade from her. Alex cried out in pain. "PLEASE DON'T!!!!!!!!!! DON'T!!!!!!!!!!"

Alex continued to scream for the safety of her child. Someone else was yelling her name. Alex. Alex. Alex. It echoed through out her head. A pair of hands grabbed her.

"LET GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. Ty shook her heavy until she opened her eyes. Alex panted looking around her. She was in her bedroom with Ty.

"Baby, it was just a dream." Ty whispered. Alex's body trembled. She started to cry into Ty's chest. He rubbed her back gently. "It was just a dream. You and Jade are safe right here."

"It was so real." Alex sobbed. "Why can't I just forget what happened?"

"Because it was a traumatic experience." He said pulling away. "Can I get you some tea or milk or something?" Alex bit her lip.

"Chocolate sundae." She said running her hand through her hair. Ty chuckled softly.

"Chocolate sundae without fudge and whip cream?' He asked. Ale smiled softly and nodded.

"Please and maybe some potato chips?" She giggled. Ty smiled getting up and sliding his slippers on.

"Sundaes and Potato chips, someone would think you're pregnant or something." He chuckled walking out of the bedroom. Alex sighed softly and propped the pillow sup behind her back. Jade kicked fiercely inside of her.

"Go back to sleep. Mommy is just gonna eat some ice-cream." She closed her eyes. The remnants of the nightmare were still coursing through her veins. Her whole body shivered. She just wanted to return to her normal life. She wanted to marry Ty and have his baby.

"Here you go." Ty shuffled in with the sundae and a bag of chips. "It is freezing out there."

"It's February. What do you expect?" She snickered looking at her sundae. It wasn't appealing to her. Ty looked at his fiancée as her lip started to tremble.

"Baby?" He looked at her with concern. "What wrong?"

"It's n-not a real sundae." She said as she cried.

"What do you mean?" Ty asked confused.

"It d-doesn't have any cherries." Alex began to sob. Ty frowned slightly. Pregnancy hormones.

"I think we have some Maraschino cherries in the cupboard." Ty said. "Want me go get them?"

"Y-Yes." Alex whispered. Ty chuckled and got up again. He walked down stairs and the winter air bit at his legs. She was lucky he loved her. He shuffled into the kitchen. At least they had all her cravings in their cupboards or refrigerator. He didn't want to go out in the snow looking for her cravings.

"Thank god." Ty grabbed the jar of Maraschino cherries. He walked back up the stairs.

"TY!!!" Alex yelled.

"What?" Ty sighed.

"Can you get me some of those green olives too?" She yelled. Ty groaned and walked back into the kitchen.

"Ice-cream, cherries, and green olives. My fiancée sure knows how to eat." Ty muttered grabbing the jar from the fridge. "Anything else?" He yelled.

"No!" Alex yelled back.

"Thank god." Ty walked back up the stairs. "It's fucking cold." He shivered and crawled back into bed.

"Cherries? Olives?" Alex looked at him. He held out the two jars and she snatched them from him. Ty watched in disgust as Alex tore into all the food.

"So, when is this appetite of yours going to dwindle some?" He asked.

"I don't know." Alex shrugged, "But I am certainly enjoying this. I hope it doesn't stop anytime soon."

"You're going to be as big as a house." He said.

"Honey, have you looked at me recently?" Alex asked, "I am as big as a house."

"A sexy house." Ty pointed out. Alex rolled her eyes as she popped an olive into her mouth.

"You think you want to my doctors appointment tomorrow?" She asked. Ty nodded.

"If you really want to." He said, "Will you really feel comfortable with me there?" Alex nodded finishing a cherry.

"If we're going to get married, then we should feel comfortable with each other at therapist appointments." Ty chuckled softly.

"You're right." He kissed her temple. "If you don't mind, I'm going to try to go back to sleep."

"Be my guest." Alex said as she ate her sundae. Ty chuckled and snuggled back into the bed. He hoped she could get some sleep after she ate and not have any nightmares.
