9:00pm

No one's POV

When Henry and Bruce reach the Mancave Ray wasn't too happy about it but he didn't mind Bruce because he knew that he was Henry's best friend. They were both shooken up from the encounter with Jasper, they spent the rest of the day in the Mancave mostly catching up with each other. Charlotte was asleep the whole time they were there and Henry didn't want to bother her. Bruce was getting ready to leave.

"Henry I know I just hopped in the mix but I don't think you should go to school tomorrow." Henry scoffed.

"Bruce I'll be fine. Go home and get ready for school and get settled in back at home. See you tomorrow bro. Also watch your back, if you need anything call me. " Henry patted his shoulder as he lead Bruce to the elevator.

"Will do Henry. With Charlotte don't do anything I wouldn't do." Bruce winked at Henry, he rolled his eyes.

"You'd do anything. Goodbye Bruce tell your mom that me and Charlotte said hi and we'll visit soon."

"Your right I'd do anything. And I'll let her know." Bruce said before the elevator door closed. Henry walked around deep in thought he looked at his watch and realized it was 9:30 and Charlotte was due to take her medicine. Henry got her meds and a cup of water and walked to her room, he opened the door carefully, he heard her mumbling.

"Charlotte?" He called out softly she was sleeping but her face was showing discomfort, she was saying something under her breath.

"No! Jasper don't!" She yelled as she tried to push an invisible force off of her, her arms flailing like she was falling from the sky. Henry rushed to her side he shook her shoulder lightly trying to wake her up.

"Hey Charlotte wake up!" He continued shaking her shoulder until she woke up, Charlotte open her eyes quickly she gasped for air as she clinged onto the blanket.

"Char are you okay?"

"No, where am I?" She looked at him with wide eyes fingers still curled on the edge of the blanket.

"We're in the ManCave. What happened?" He sat next to her placing the cup and meds on the side table.

"I had a nightmare or memory I was back there and Jasper was there too. I thought I was going to die." He pulled her in a hug as tears filled her eyes.

"You're safe I promise." Henry said softly rubbing her back as she took shaky breaths.

"I'm sorry." Charlotte muttered into his shoulder.

"It's fine baby." Charlotte looked up at him her red eyes meeting his brown eyes grinning.

"Did you just called me baby?"

"Umm is that a problem?" He said unsure.

" It's fine. It's just different, so do you like me or something? Cause you just called me baby."

"Of course I do. You're one of a kind." Henry gave her a smile that made her heart melt.

"Aww thank you Henry. What time is it? I didn't look at my phone."

"It's 9:40. I woke you up so you can take your medicine." Henry reaches over to turn on the lamp.

"Oh okay." He handed her the pill and a cup of ice water. "Thank you." She took her pill and sat the cup down.

"No problem sweets. Guess who I saw at school today?"

"Who was it?"

"Bruce he came back from France." Charlotte eyes were wide in shock.

"Really?!" She exclaimed grabbing his arm and shaking it.

"Yeah really. Anything happen today?" Charlotte thought back throughout the day.

"Oh yeah! Doctor Kelly called me this morning and told me that I'm not pregnant and I don't have any STD but I'll still have to be tested in 3 months. And she also said that she found my real parents. How was your day?"

"That's good to hear! My day was good. How does she know?" He obviously left out the part where he and Bruce saw Jasper, he didn't want to make her more upset.

"Doctor Kelly told me that she wouldn't tell me everything until this situation is over. But I'm kinda anxious what if they think I was raised wrong? Or if they think that I'm weird? I wonder why they gave me up. God what if I let them down by not being the girl that they wanted me to be." Henry sensed her distress and placed his hand over hers, which was resting in the space between their bodies. That's when she looked up at him in the dimly lit room all her doubts disappeared when she looked a him.

"Hey Charlotte I'm sure they have a good reason as to why they gave you up. Don't put yourself down like that. It's not good for your health." She looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?"

"You can't judge yourself before you even know all the facts." She nodded.

"I guess you're right. I but can't help it." Charlotte muttered softly. A smile hinted at his lips.

"It's okay baby." He teased. She smiled wide and rolled her eyes, muttering a quite 'Shut up Henry.' Next thing she knows Henry's face is really close to hers, and he's guiding her face to his. Charlotte's heart was racing when she realized what was happening,

'Omg he's about to kiss me!' She thought quickly. Their lips were almost touching when he paused, Charlotte grabbed onto his shirt tightly scared hat he was going to back away and regret it.

"Is this alright?" Henry asked his lips lightly brushing hers.

"Yes dummy now kiss me." She pulled on his shirt and their lips connected. Their kiss deepened when Henry places his hand in the back of her neck, gently cupping her head making sure to not touch the sore spot on her head. He licked her bottom lip asking for entrance, she opened her mouth wider his warm wet tongue slid in her hot mouth. They both moaned as their tongues meet, brushing each other careful Charlotte's brain short circuit as Henry kissed her with so much passion this was a new sensation to her. She didn't know how to react to it.

A warm feeling flowed throughout her body as they pulled away to breathe, she felt lightheaded when he looked at her. His lips swollen and red, she refrains from touching his lips.

"So how was it?" He asked hesitantly. Charlotte grinned and hugged him from the side.

"It was new, different." He wrapped his arms around her torso pulling her closer to him.

"Mmm yeah. That's good Char." They laced their hands together.
