Chapter 3, still don't own D&J
It was six months into my pregnancy, I've finally gotten used to the whole baby idea. Well not completely, but as much as one can get.
He is still around, and it's starting to scare me. I keep telling myself not to get attached, but still. I find myself falling for him all over again, and I know that I shouldn't. He keeps telling me that he loves me, but I still can't entirely believe him. He did break up with me.
One night at his house, I found myself in his arms once again. He gently places his hand on my stomach and I pull away.
"Stop," I whisper. I know he's trying to make me feel better, but it just makes me feel grosser. People have told me I'm lucky, because I'm one of those girls who look even prettier when I'm pregnant, but I don't believe them. I'm fat and gross. Gross gross gross.
"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks, putting his arm around my shoulders. Again, I pull away. "You've got to stop doing this."
"Doing what?" I sigh, running my fingers through my hair.
"Pushing me away," He says, taking my hands in his. "I said I loved you. Why don't you believe me?"
I look down at our hands. They belong together. "Because you broke my heart."
"I know I did," He says softly. "But I really love you."
"Then why did you break up with me?" I say softly.
"Because I'm an idiot," He sighs. "I always felt like I had to get away from a girl before I got in too deep. Even if I really did care about her."
"That's stupid." I sigh.
"I know. But that's not going to happen this time. I love you."
"How can I know that?" I say
"Because, when I look at you, I just…feel right," He says, putting one of his hands on my stomach. "You're beautiful and smart. You're creative and funny."
I feel a bit of girlie flutter in my heart as he touches me. "Oh Drake…" I whisper.
"I want you to know how much I love you. I want you to trust me," He says.
"I do trust you, I just can't let my guard down. I need to know that you won't leave me," I say.
"I know, and there's something I need to ask you," He smiles and gets down on one knee. He pulls a small velvet box out of his pocket, presenting me with a ring. "Maddie, I love you more than anything in the world, would you do me the honor of being my wife?"
I feel tears in my eyes as I nod. "Yes, yes yes yes," I say as I pull him into my arms.
He smiles bigger than I've ever seen him smile as he slides the ring onto my finger. "Are you happy?" He whispers.
"Very," I say, kissing him softly.
Again, short chapter, but I didn't want to add more. I didn't really like this chapter, but it had to be done i suppose. Writing chapter four as we speak.
Read, Review, Be Merry!
