Chapter 12: Spencer learns the truth
Josh's POV:
Angel had been resting peacefully for the last couple of hours which i had taken as a good sign when all of a sudden i heard a commotion downstairs and i knew it had to be Elijah with Spencer. I held Angel close hoping Elijah wouldn't do anything that would wake up or upset her but knowing how upset he was, i knew there was no telling what was coming. I slowly set Angel on her pillow and kissed her head so i could go check on what was going on. I walked over to the door and as i opened it i ran face to face with Elijah who shoved Spencer through the door.
"You aren't leaving until Angel is better you got that Dr. Reid." Elijah said menacingly and i sighed knowing this was going to be interesting. As Elijah left closing the door and locking it, i went back over to Angel and stood in front of where she layed. I was not going to let Spencer get anywhere near her.
Spencer's POV:
I turned from the door to see a guy standing in front of Angel and I stopped in my tracks as I saw his face. He had red eyes, his fangs bared the veins prominent through his skin, he was definitely another vampire. I backed up against the door.
"H-how is she?" I asked nervously afraid of what he might do if I said something wrong.
"She's resting and if you do anything to upset her or wake her or anything you will have to deal with me you go that" he threatened and I nodded. It's silent for another minute or two before I speak up.
"Has she mostly been in bed or has she been able to move a bit?" I asked hoping to try and get what information i could seeing as everyone has a problem with me right now.
"In bed, she hasn't felt well enough to do anything else." He says as he sits next to her and pets her head gently so she doesn't wake up. Well i can see Angel has already moved on, because with the way he's acting it seems to be a bit more than just a friend. He's being careful of me getting near, that was obvious when I entered the room but at the same time I wouldn't blame him. I look over him again carefully this time since i'm not being shoved at him. He was about my height from what i can assume, a little bit more built than the average person, and brown hair and eyes. If Garcia saw him she would probably fawn over him, but as it seems he's already taken.
"Is there anything i can do to help her?" i asked and he sighed.
"Well you being near her might help but i don't know if i trust you enough to be near her." he said and i nodded.
"I understand but if it will help shouldn't we try it?" i asked and he rolled his eyes.
"Fine but only when she wakes up." he said and i nodded knowing that's as good a deal i was gonna get.
"Now stay here, I'll be back in a few minutes. I swear to god if I see you near her I'll rip your head off brain boy." Josh swore as he walked out. The moment he was out of my sight I slipped into her room. Everything seemed normal until she rolled over in her sleep. My eyes went wide, her stomach was round, protruding out like a beach ball. Angel was pregnant. Was that baby my baby? My mind was whirling in a thousand directions. There was one thing I knew that could calm all the thoughts racing through my mind, playing an instrument and if i remembered correctly Angel always kept a guitar in her room. I walked over to it, picked it up,sat down and began to play the only song that came to mind.
Angel's POV:
I had started to come to a little still not completely healed but i could still hear what was going on and i heard music start to play and realized it could only be one person….. Spencer. I stayed completely quiet as he began to sing.
You say you'll know when you really find the one
But it's hard to tell With the damage that's been done
But i'd like to say that it's your fault
But I know better
Cuz' I'm a fool to think you'll wait around forever
Maybe I Could have loved you
Maybe I could have shown
That I still do care about you
More than you could know
Don't say it's to late too try
To make it right
I bit my lip as i tried to fight my tears and turned my head to look at him knowing I needed him to know i was listening.
Spencer's POV:
I had a feeling she was looking at me and i looked up in tears as I continued the song feeling completely hopeless about this whole situation.
I didn't know how good you were for me
Now it's clear I'm seeing all that we could be
And I know that it's my fault
But I'm gonna treat you better
Cause If I had one wish you'd be with me forever
Maybe I Could have loved you
Maybe I could have shown
That I still do care about you
More than you could know
Don't say it's too late to try
To make it right
She sat up slowly and i could tell it took a lot of strength to just do that and i saw the tears fall mirroring my own and i could feel my heart break as i thought of what i did three months ago and all i wanted to do was take it back and make everything right just like the song said i took a shaky breath as I finished the song looking straight into her beautiful brown eyes.
Is there something I can say?
Show me how to break it down
So before you walk away
Take the time to turn around
Listen to me now
Maybe I Could have loved you
Maybe I could have shown
That I still do care about you
More than you could know
Don't say it's too late to try [x2]
To make it right
To make it right
Make it right
Gonna make it right
(Author's note: the song is Make it right by the Jonas Brothers)
I set the guitar down and completely broke down as i took her hand in mine shaking.
"A-angel, i-i'm s-so sorry about e-everything i said and d-did i never should have left you i-i know you've moved on with Josh a-and, you probably want n-nothing to do with me but i need to make things right i-i need things to be right with us f-for our baby, i-if it is our baby." i said tears streaming down my face. She placed her hand on my cheek and i looked up at her and she hugged me.
"For one, Josh is my best friend almost like a son to me, and two i love you more than anything in the world you leaving broke me. I didn't think i would ever be able to survive without you a-and when i found out i was pregnant with our son and daughter i knew i had to keep going for them." i looked up shocked when she said that we were going to have twins.
"T-twins? W-we're going to have twins?" i asked a shocked smile on my face and she nodded holding my hands in hers.
"I-i want us to be together Spencer b-but if you aren't ready for that for this world and you just want us to get along f-for our kids then i can be ok with that." she said looking down and something in me broke knowing it was my fault she was hurting.We talked for what had seemed like hours. I forgot about Josh, Elijah kidnapping me, and the whole awkward encounters. All I focused on was her, and our bundles of joy. I was overjoyed and this feeling of happiness was amazing. During our talk I noticed that Angel kept nodding in and out, though she kept trying to force herself to stay fully awake.
"Alright, that's enough for now" I said as I helped her lay back down.
"You need more rest. So try sleeping a bit longer." As soon as I let go she looked worried, like I was going to leave as soon as she closed her eyes. I already left her once, and I'm not doing that again.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" She asked a bit wary.
"I'll be sitting right here." I say before sitting in the chair near her bed.
"No, please," she said as I took a few steps.
"Lay down here, with me. I mean if you would like to. You don't have to" she said rambling a bit but I just grinned and nodded as she scooted over a bit happy that I agreed. As I laid down it wasn't long. With the talking and the ride from the case, Quantico, then all the way over here I was drained. We talked here and there, but it was more like I was talking with hums of yes or no when I would ask about something. Soon we both fell asleep holding on to one another, just how we always wanted. Just as i was drifting off i heard the door open and a second later i heard Freya call down to the others,
"Reid is staying! Einstein isn't going to be dinner Nik." and as she walked out i held Angel close to me and fell asleep holding her.
