Chapter 23
Mark started chasing after her. Hailey continued to run when she didn't see the car pulling up from the parking lot coming towards her. The driver beeped his horn and was inches from hitting her when Mark quickly pulled her back. He pulled her into a hug, as Hailey was still crying. "Hailey, oh my god, you are so stupid." He sighed as he kissed her on the head. She still continued to cry. "Huh, you are so stupid." He said again kissing her on her head again. When she didn't reply, he picked her up and swung her over his shoulders and carried her back to his car.
He sat her in the passenger seat, and adjusted the seat belt to fit her pregnant stomach. He shut the door and walked back to his side and hoped in the driver's seat. He looked over at her and saw she had her knees up to her cheat and was weeping. He sighed, he could tell that something emotional was coming over her and he decided to get it out of her when they got back to his house.
About an hours drive from the main city, Mark pulled up to his house. Hailey didn't talk to him at all on the way there, and he didn't say anything to her either. He stopped the car, and she looked up to see where they were. This must be Mark's house she thought. It was a ranch style home, wooden on the outside of the house and a big barn with a few motorbikes out the front. She saw a few horses in the paddocks near-by. "You have horsies." She said quietly. Mark gave a quick smile and hoped out of the car, and grabbed her suitcase from the boot. Hailey still sat in the car. "You coming?" He asked her from outside. Hailey sighed and hoped out of the car. They walked up to the front porch and Mark opened the door. He walked in and she walked in after him. She looked around, it was a beautiful home with a fire place with leather couches in one corner and she could see the kitchen which was really big as well. Mark grabbed her hand and leaded her upstairs. "Where are we going?" She asked. He didn't answer. He stopped at a door and opened it, and behind the door was a bathroom with this huge tub. He walked her in and shut the door behind him. He walked over to the tub and turned on the taps. When the bath was full enough he turned them off. He walked back over to her. "Lift up." He instructed to her. Hailey shook her head. "Hailey lift up your arms now please." He said. She lifted her arms up as he took off her jumpers she had on, followed by her bra. Hailey tried to cover her breasts up from him. He then kneeled down and took her shoes and socks off, then her pants. "Mark what are you doing?" She mumbled. He looked up at her. "Giving you a bath." He said. "But I don't want one." She spat. "Well I don't care, you need one, your lips are blue, and your body is cold." He explained, and pulled her underwear off too. "Oh god." She mumbled. "Hailey get over it, couples see each other naked all the time." He shrugged and lifted her into the bath. Hailey started shriving as the warm water hit her cold skin. "Lean forward." He said as he got a cloth and started to wash her back, he leaned her back again as he washed her chest not wanting her to catch a cold. He got down to her breasts. To hell with this, he thought as he tossed the wash cloth in the water and scooped some water in his hands and rubbed his hands over her breasts. He smiled as her nipples hardened from the warm water. He quickly shook his mind out of his happy thoughts as he saw her slightly pregnant stomach. "Hailey, I don't know about you, but I know that it is so stupid and unhealthy for a pregnant woman to be out in minus 0 degree temperatures." He said frowning. Hailey just sat there. "You could have harmed the baby Hailey, who knows you could have already." He said. "I'm sorry." She managed it get out. "Look Hailey." He spoke rubbing his hand over her stomach. "This is my baby too, and I'll be damned if anything unhealthy happens to it or even you Hail's."
"I'm sorry." She said again. "Is that all you can manage to say is it?" He asked. She turned around and looked up at him. "Mark please I am so sorry!" She said with tears in her eyes. "I hope you are Hailey, look let's get you out and we can go talk about this." He said as he lifted her out of the bath and wrapped a towel around her. He picked her up into his arms and kissed her gently on the lips. She sniffed and rubbed her face into his neck. He closed his eyes and sighed as he hugged her. He carried her out of the bathroom, heading downstairs.
