At My Door
Chapter Fifteen- As Two Months Go By
Two months felt like two days. Shelby was still jumpy, and scared. Morgan had no idea what was going on,
she didn't know what to tink. Scott couldn't hardly do a thing. He could relate very well to what happened, but not
enough. Shelby seemed so distant because she didn't know what was happening, like something was a secret. But she never
said a word about it, not once.
" It feels like every day of my life is being repeated" Shelby told Daisy, who had become
a frequent visitor during the day when Scott and Morgan couldn't be there.
" Things can take time to heal, you're just taking a bit longer".
Shelby sat down across from her in the living room, " my mind is racing so godamn fast, I've actually
become sick from it".
Daisy gave a quick smile, one that was probably not seen, " you're paranoid".
" I wish" she muttered.
" Shel, between the nightmares and the loss of appetite, you're bound to be this way. Just
relax as much as you can" she paused, Shelby looked away, " you're going to get through this".
" I really hope so".
Shelby closed the apartment door, checking each lock twice, she knows she had become paranoid about that.
Morgan came running from the hallway, attaching herself to Shelby's leg like she always did.
" Hi!" she grinned, revealing the space where she lost her front tooth the week before.
" Hi Sweetie" Shelby tossed her long hair, " where's daddy?".
" In the kitchen".
Just as she answered, Scott emerged from the kitchen doorway, smiling, but a little nervous. " How did it
go?".
Shelby had come home from a doctors appointment. A routine thing once a month to make sure the healing was
proceeding. She always insisted on going alone, it was wasier. The recent doctors visit snet her into a mental panic.
" Fine" she nodded, " everything's fine".
When Scott went to give Morgan a bath, Shelby went into the kitchen for a glass of water. Her hand was
clutching on the class, she didn't know what to do, she couldn't analyze it herself. Scott had been through so much since
the rape. It felt weird, him knowing in the first place, even though she couldn't hide it. He was always there for her, she
knew it was effecting him, and she knew how hard it was. But, she didn't know how hard it would be to tell Scott, that she
was pregnant.
A/N- I brought on another short chapter, because I wasn't too sure what to do with the plot yet. They'll get longer, and
the plot should pick up in the next chapter. ThankS!
