Evy opened her eyes and was forced to close them as the sun blinded her. She rolled over in her bed and covered her head with the covers.
"Come on, Evy. Wake up." Someone begged.
She rolled back over and opened her eyes, looking up she saw Rick standing over her and smiling.
"Get out of bed, Saron and Ashley are downstairs." He said helping her out, she realized she couldn't do it on her own for the bulge her stomach had become.
Making her way to the bathroom, Evy undressed and got in the shower. What had happened to her? One minute she had been at the top of Big Ben in fear for her life and the next she was 8 months pregnant and married.
"What happened?" she asked herself as the hot water fell on her. Had Rick saved her? She wondered.
Then she began to wonder if everything had been a dream, if the events in the clock tower had even occurred. Thoughts of the night had come flooding back. Her; alone with Luke, she had almost been raped, or maybe she had been and maybe now she was dead and this was heaven. Living in ones thoughts that make them happy.
She climbed out of the shower and changed, then quickly walked downstairs to her friends, but she never made it. Soon all the images around her changed and she was in a dark room, though voices could be heard.
"Evy?" it was Jonathan, she was sure of it. "Wake up old mum, open your eyes."
"Come on, Evy. Please be ok." that voice was definitely Ashley.
Then images and colors swirled around her again. She found herself outside in the rain and sitting on a swing in her backyard. She had been sitting there for who knows how long and she was confused as to why she was there, but she felt the need to stay, it felt like she was home.
"hi." A voice called behind her, nobody else was around, but the rain had started to pour. Turning, she found Rick standing behind her.
"Hello." She said turning, her back facing him once again. She looked down and noticed her stomach was back to its normal size, or maybe she wasn't pregnant, yet.
"I'm sorry." He said making his way to the swing next to her.
"For what?" she asked not understanding.
"For acting the way I did, you know I love you right?" she nodded in response. "Well I was just a little scared. I didn't expect you to come up to me and say that, I'm not sure I'm ready to be a dad."
"And I'm not sure if I'm ready to be a mother." She said trying to avoid eye contact with him.
"I know and I should have been there for you. I'm sorry." He said taking hold of her face and getting her to look him in the eyes.
"Rick, just tell me, do you want this child?"
"Yes, more than anything. I love you and our baby." He said and gave her a soft kiss.
They both got off of the swings and embrace each other, slowly bringing their lips together as the rain poured down on them.
"I love the rain." She whispered as she pulled away.
"I've noticed." He said and pulled her in for a passionate kiss.
Soon Rick disappeared and the backyard became another dark room. Evy stood there as the voices returned.
"Evy, wake up, please wake up." Saron's voice echoed off the walls. "Its just me." she said then her voice became kind of blurry, Evy wanted to respond, but found that every time she opened her mouth nothing would come out. "Nobody else is here. Look, Rick loves you. He really loves you, you need to wake up. He's really worried about, you. We all are, but he really needs to see you awake, I know you two have problems, but you need to work them out, you belong together."
Soon Saron's voice was nothing more than a memory as the darkness filled with a light and Evy found herself in her living room. She was sitting there starring at a book, but found herself just starring at it, nothing more.
She looked up from the book and to the clock to see it was almost 1 in the morning. She knew Rick wasn't home and the thoughts of him cheating were all she could think about. After the incident with Lisa she didn't know what other secrets he could be hiding, but she did know she wouldn't be up to see him coming in and drunk.
She got off of the couch, which was hard seeing as she was due any day and she stomach was rather large for her liking. She finally got up, turned off the light and made her way into her bed. About an hour later Rick opened up the bedroom door and crawled into bed.
As she lay there she began to wonder when her marriage had fallen apart, but found it hard to trace.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I had some work to do." He said wrapping his arm around her, but she moved out of his embrace. "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." She said and tried to sleep, but he wanted to talk.
"Evelyn, what's wrong?"
"Is there another woman?" she came right out and asked as tears fell from her eyes.
"What? No! Where did you get that idea?"
"You come home late at night. What else am I to think? Except the fact you found someone better looking than me, which wouldn't be hard considering the fact I'm as big as a house." She cried and got out of bed.
"I'm not cheating on you, I swear, you're the only one I love; nobody else."
"Then what are you doing so late at night?"
"I can't tell you that now, but I promise you'll find out within time." He said from the bed.
"Well good, then until I find out you'll be sleeping alone." She said and stormed out of the room.
Outside of the door she froze and stood as the room once again turned black and she could hear Saron and Rick talking.
"Look you need to tell her, I know she loves you." Saron spoke.
"No. she doesn't love me ok? After everything I put her through, I'd be lucky if she were to talk to me."
"Look, Rick, while she was with me for the past 2 month's all she did was talk about you and how she wished she knew what had happened between you two. She cried on about how hard it was to forget about you, because she loved you."
"She really said that?"
"Yes, she did and I think you feel the same."
"And what makes you say that?"
"The fact you never took the ring back and that you kept it with you."
"How did you know about the ring?"
"It slipped out of your pocket coming down the stairs at Big Ben, I opened it and read the inscription, and a man who wasn't in love wouldn't do that."
Again the dark room turned into different images and colors, and Evy found herself lying on a bed screaming and crying. She knew she was in the hospital and the pain from her waist down was severe.
Looking to her side stood Rick holding her hand and telling her it'd be ok, and despite the pain she was in, she believed him with her life.
"One more push!" someone yelled and she did just that, a cry over threw hers and she passed out from the pain. As Evy lay there she began to realize the past thoughts were dreams, all dreams of how her life had been so far and at that moment in time was all real. When she woke up she would be faced with her newborn child and her happy family.
Well? How was it? Any good? Please review and let me know your thoughts.
