The filming of the movie was still going by Sting slate. They were able to finished the last scene in the previous spot before tackling the other locations. Amber got to upgrade her cell and Sting gave her a new laptop. There were days that were so busy that it was hard for her to keep up. The energy she had before excepting wasn't there. When Gray could tell she was tried he made sure she would take a rest in the trailer. It was to her refusing of course, but he ignore it mostly. On the next break he had to go check on her, he would watch her sleep for awhile. Still puzzle by why he would think of her at times and he would desperately find something to replace his thoughts.
Spending time with Juvia had it's up and downs. Zeref didn't want her to be all focus on Gray or to do anything to jeopardizing her career. She wanted to be on his arm all the time and there were days she was on set watching him work. Amber warn her not to get in his way while working. Visiting had to be at a medium and stay on the sidelines.
The day that had her walking on cloud nine was his one free day before the longer break he was taking back home. They were not going to see each other for few weeks and they plan to spend the whole day in bed. It was in her bed at the hotel she was staying at. The fun they had in each room they were in. It was reminiscent of the first time they were together.
He enjoyed having sex with Juiva as well, there were things he didn't particular like doing. Went along with it to satisfy her needs. As he spend his time with her, his thoughts would travel to Amber. Thinking if she was ok on her own. The bump on her head still cause her to be more dizzy most days. It was matter of healing before she was recovered completely. Taking her to see Mira for a check up to get the stitches taken out and checking the progress of the baby. His child was growing and he was bewildered by it all.
Since the incident Amber was still feeling restless when working on location. One day had her wandering around in search of what the cause was and not finding a dam thing. It had her keeping it to herself, not letting Gray, Sting or anyone know of her unease. Laxus knew that one day and she didn't relent in telling him again.
Having a new phone to use she called her brother Mystogan. There was no call from Jellal and she didn't even temp to call him. Mystogan wanted both siblings to reconnect and love each other again. Being the person outside the box and seeing what this was doing to them both. It hurt his heart a little.
Dan was still keeping up his charade with Cobra and still seeing Mest at the end of the week. The guy always pissed him off and was yelled at when he found out he had sex with a women. Yelling at him wasn't going to change his ways. When he left his office he went and picked her up. They have been seeing each other a lot, but there were no heartfelt feelings towards her. The girl was falling for him through. Rachel was a tall blonde women he picked up at the bar where he would drink. A place called not with a unique name Cedar bar and Grill. It was the place she was working as one of the waitress.
The repeats of the past was never failing for him. One day she wouldn't listen to his demands at sex, he made sure she listen to him properly. Telling her if she told anyone he touch her pretty little face that it would be much worse the next time around. She coward in front of him and pleaded for a second chance. Finding someone else to control had him in high spirits.
The long break that Gray was looking forward too was push back for a other month. October went by in a flash and it's was already the 3rd weekend of November and he was driving to see his parents. There were emails and text from them while he was away. Asking him the same thing over and over again. This was it, he was going to tell them today. Turning his head to look at his passenger in his car. Not to sure if she should have come with him. They discuss the pro and cons to what may take place. In the end she wanted to be there to offer him the support that he had given her.
Pulling up beside to his brothers car and turning off the engine. Had him staring at the front door of the house. Feeling a little anxious but knowing it had to be said. His parents had to leave him alone. There was no taking over for his father or getting married off to some shareholder daughter. A smaller hand lays on his hand and looking down at her polish blue nails. Looking at Amber she was giving him bright smile, encouraging him that it was going to be okay.
"You will do fine Gray."
"They never listen to anything I have to say. I don't know if I will be getting through to them today either."
"You have the lasted ultrasound picture with you. Showing it to them could change their minds. Never know until you try."
"I guess so." Unbuckling his seat belt and pressing the button on Amber's they remove themselves from the car. The house looked big and looming in front of Gray. A little push on his back had him going forward. He turn around to look back at Amber had her giving him thumbs up. She was wearing casual jeans and loosing fitting top and a winter jacket. The days where now colder to what they were. No business attire this time and she told Erza and Lucy a few days ago that she wanted to go shopping. Her pants where started to feel a little tight on her now and wanted more comfortable clothing. Gray had started to see more of a baby bump in her work clothes.
"Ring the door bell Gray." Going up to the front door he press the button. The person that answers was the butler Charles. He bows and lets Gray and Amber in.
"Master Gray and Miss Amber nice to you again."
"Hi Charles. Is my parents in or out?"
"They are in as well as Master Lyon. I will lead you the way to the den."
"Thank you." They hand him over their jacket's and follow behind Charles down the long hallway. Amber was looking at the interior of the house. It was gorgeous house that had her in awe of what she sees. Their were pictures on the wall by famous artisans, million dollars vases filled with flowers she didn't know the names of them. The clear lament flooring shine with sparkles from the chandeliers hanging down. It was impressive and she knew that Ur had her hand in every detail.
Charles knocks on the door and enters the room. "Sir and Madam you have guests"
"Allow them in Charles."
"Yes sir." Stepping back into the hallway and he was bowing for them to enter. Gray had a lump in his throat. This was it, all the wait of telling them will be settled this evening.
"Mother, Father I am home."
"Gray! My son when you did get back?"
"A couple of days ago, Father."
"Who did you bring with you Charles said guests?"
"That will be me." Amber steps behind Gray and waves her hand. Ur stands up from her chair and comes over to her.
"My dear what a nice surprise." She gives her a big hug, it has been months from the last visit. It was Lyon who brought her over for afternoon tea. "It's been to long Amber. How are you?"
"Good Ur and you?"
"Wonderful, come in and take a seat."
Gray gives his mom a hug and walks over to his father to shake his hand. Sliver was giving Amber a kiss on the cheek. Her greeting took her over to Lyon as he was standing from his chair. "Lyon Hi."
"Amber I got your new phone number haven't texted you yet. I am sorry, been busy."
"It's alright. Been busy as well."
"Take a seat on the couch."
"Thanks Lyon."
"Brother how are you?" They punch fist and gave each other hug. Only messaging through text the last while."
"I am well big brother." Gray takes a seat beside Amber and everyone takes their original seating. This visit was unexpected for his parents and brother. Lyon already knew what she was planing on doing. Not being told she had gone through with it and with his brother.
Instead of dropping right into what he wanted to talk about. The chat started with his mother talking to Amber first for a time. It calm his nerves a little by catching up with is brother as the two women talked.
As the hour continue to roll by had his Father get up from his chair and go over to the bar. Filling up glasses of wine and passing them around to his wife and Lyon. "Amber we have to get together for a lunch date before you head back to work."
"I have until Friday that I am here before heading back."
"I will give you a ring my dear. Keep me in your day planer."
"Will have to check my schedule." Sliver comes round to the front of the couch and hands Gray a glass and gives one to Amber. The red wine in her glass had her wanting to have a little taste. Brings it up to her lips to sample the liquid on her tongue had it slip from her grasp. Gray had taken the stem of the glass and puts it on the coffee.
"Can't have that Amber."
"Booo."
"Gray you don't take a glass from a women and tell her no."
"There is a reason for it mother."
"The only reason she couldn't have one would be she is pregnant." Ur started to giggled at her own joke and she looks at Amber. Seeing that she is not laughing along and slightly biting her lip instead. "No...you aren't? Are are you?"
Ur, Sliver and Lyon all waited for her to answer. Ur watches as Amber puts a hand on her stomach and nodding her head. "I am Ur. Almost at three months, became pregnant in late August."
"Oh my, what wonderful news. I didn't know you where seeing anyone." Lyon looks at Amber seeing her expression. The smile that she was showing made him smile too. Being in touch with her brothers they didn't say a thing to him.
"Congratulations Amber. Happy for you."
"Thanks Lyon."
"Wait before the congratulations who is the guy you are seeing. Been holding out on telling me your love life."
"Ur, there is no guy."
"What no man? It's a little hard to have a child with out his donation." She put it tactfully instead of saying the word sperm.
"There was a donation of sorts Ur. I didn't have sex with a guy, I went to a clinic through sperm donor."
"Oh how unconventional of you."
"Mother!"
"I am not being rude Gray. Women and men are suppose to do things in a traditional way. I will not judge a person actions. Even when it comes to Amber. Right my husband?"
"Yes my wife."
"This is what we want for our son too. We want him to settle down with someone and give us grandchildren and for him to exceed his father."
"Mother, I have told you many times before. I prefer my life this way, I am happier making movies and going out with women."
"Like we said son. You will stop doing all this nonsense and take the reigns of the company."
"Gray your mother and I have your best interested at heart. If you will not settled down on your own we will force you to do so. We have women waiting to be meet you. Now that you are home make time to see them. We can start tomorrow."
"No Father, Mother. Hand the company over to Lyon. This is what he wants in his life not in mine. He makes wise choices and will make the company prosper. It's not a path I desired to take."
A glass of wine comes down hard on the side table by Ur and it spills over at the edges causing droplets to fall on the carpet. "Gray! How many times must we have this conversation. This is what we want for you. Want you married, have the company and raise a heir."
"I can comply to one of those options and only one."
"Which one, marriage or company." Gray stands from the couch and looks down at Amber. Nodding her head up at him letting him know she was ready.
"No to either one, the heir."
"Oh no, do not tell me one of those blonde bimbos is pregnant."
"She is not blonde, more of plum purple colour." Lyon moves closer to the edge of his seat. The exchange of looks between Amber and Gray had him already knowing the women by the hair colour. He could kick his brothers ass for doing what he was offering to do for her all those months ago. Waiting for his mother's head to explode. This wasn't going to turn out well.
"Who cares what colour of hair she has son. We warn you about this and your playboy behaviour. Now you are having a child out of wedlock."
"Gray my boy. Where is she, we can make this right."
"She is close by."
"Have her come over now."
"I don't need to do that Dad."
"Why not Gray?"
"Well mother she is in this room."
"What?! There is only Amber here." Letting go of her glass and rest of the wine falling to the floor. Ur stands up from the chair as the puzzle clicks in her head. "You got Amber pregnant."
"Like you said mother by donation."
Ur looks at Amber wanting to know if it was true or not. "Amber?" Adoring this girl from the moment they met. It was like carpet was rip from underneath her.
"It's true Ur. It was his sperm I use. I didn't have sex with him."
Sitting down back in her chair she was beyond shocked. This was to unbelievable that her son would do something like this. Trying to soak in the news of their next generation is in Amber.
"Well if that is the case son you two will be married right away."
"Father no. I will give you a heir not anything else."
Ur quickly comes to her senses and stands back up again. She faces both of them head on. "Sliver is right, you two must be married. Can have a little ceremony right here."
"Mother..."
"Gray you are having a child now. Next step is marriage then the company. Amber shouldn't raise this baby on her own. A man needs to be in her life."
"NO!" The room grew silent and everyone looks towards Amber. Ur never seen her have outburst before. It looked like she was shaking in her knees as she stood from the couch.
"It's for the best Amber."
"Not for me Ur. I don't want to have a man in my life. I have chosen to stay single and the love I have is for the baby no one else."
"Amber you are young women."
"I know what I want in my life Ur. You can't convince me other wise. I will not follow what you want. You can't make Gray do what he wants either. It's not right. Don't control your son and make him miserable."
"Amber sit down don't want you upset. I can handle them." Gray puts his hand on her arm and tried to put her back on the couch. Patting his hand and looks up at him.
"I think they need to hear my answer. To why I am going through this."
"I don't think you should. Do not need the stress."
"There will be more stress if this continues Gray." Amber turns to Ur and Sliver. "Sit down, there is a story I wish to tell you."
Taking their seats and waiting for Amber to begin. Lyon comes over to her and whisper in her hear. "I give you my support. I can call Jellal for back up?"
"I haven't spoken to him in months. Let me do this on my own."
Frowning at her wondering what could have transpire between the two siblings. Jellal didn't say anything of having argument with his sister. Then again talking about her didn't come up in conversation.
Standing in front of his parents Amber takes a depth breath in. The story she wish she never had to relay again or had the need too. Her hands were shaking and knees felt weak. If she can get through this with out passing out. She received strength from a person that came up beside her. Took hold of her hand and gave it a squeezed. "I am here." Gray gave her the courage to tell her story.
"Okay here I go."
"We are listening Amber. Take your time." Sliver could tell this was going to be hard for her whatever it could be. This young women was joy to be around with, she was funny, smart. Sometimes wish they had a daughter like her.
"Sliver, Ur...In late my teens to early 20's I was in a relationship with a man who beat me up for four years of my life."
The gasps that were heard from the two of them was a normal reaction. "It was right after I graduated from high school. I wanted to stretch my wings and give my older brother a break from raising me. Moving out of the house was scary and thrilling at the same time. I was young, naive, did not know to much of the world. I was protected by my brothers. We had to grow up to fast. My parents were not there for us. They neglected to fulfilled there duties and instead wasted away on booze.
We were treated unfairly by mom and dad. Belittled, yelled at, made to feel unloved and unwanted. Being raised that way effected how I should find love. That carry over when we were in foster care.
When I first met Dan, he was sweet, caring, kind. I was swept up by his charm and hang on to his every word. I seriously thought I found the man I was supposed to be with. He was no prince charming that was shattered when I received my first hit."
Ur covered her mouth as tears threaten to fall. Sliver held her other hand, couldn't understand why a person such as herself fell victim to abuse.
Amber sat back down on the couch with out noticing that Gray guided her backwards as she started talking. His hand was still holding on to hers. Knowing this was the most difficult sensitive topic for her to share. Lyon stood behind the couch and had his hand on her shoulder. Sending her all support he could offer.
"Dan would say he was sorry that it wouldn't happen again. Give me flowers, chocolate and take me out to make up for it. Over time he started to change and the hits turn into beatings. I had to cover up my the bruises with clothes, makeup.
I started to lie to my brothers. That I was clumsy, clueless to what I was doing. I hide it for years afraid to be found out. Being with him had me looking over my shoulder and second guessing myself."
"Amber my dear you don't need to say more. We understand how much pain you suffered."
"I do not think you do Ur. The beatings was one thing but there was his control over me. There were places I could not go. People I was not allow to see. He would get jealous that I would talk to my brothers. I hated being told what to do. The mind games he would play on me. I made to be nothing."
"Amber please no more."
"Ur, Sliver you may believe you are doing the right thing. Do you really want to control your own son. See the unhappiness in his eyes. He could hate you forever.
The day I wanted to be free from Dan had my life put in danger. I had my bag packed ready to go while he was out. Then he came home early, found me in the bedroom with my things. We argue and as I was heading towards the stairs he started to hit me. Then he had a knife on him. One he would use in a threatening manner and never used until that day."
A tissue was handed over to Ur by her husband. Not taking the news very well. First time hearing and learning about her passed.
"The tip of his blade touch my neck first. Evil smile graced his feature's and the menacing laughter I heard and dream to this day. Then he took that knife and embedded in my back. It didn't end there when he took the blade out he used his foot to kick me in the stomach and I went backwards down a set of stairs."
He can feel her hand shaking in his as the story is told. This was the full version that not even her brothers were aware of. There's nothing he could say to change what happen. They stayed listening, seeing the anguish in her eyes.
"Mystogan found me, called 911. I was taken to the hospital and remain there for a month. Jellal search for Dan after he went to the house and saw all the blood on floor. My strong, father figurehead brother beat Dan to a pulp. I heard that officers had to drag him off Dan. He was arrested and sent to jail. I couldn't attend the trail due to my injuries. I was battling my own demons while there. Women can get close to me, but no man can. I can't be touch for fear of my past."
Thinking back Sliver realized that was true. She would step back or not get to close. How could he not of know the effect that had caused.
"So you see Ur, I can't be with anyone. This baby will have my love. That is fine with me. That is what I want. I ask you to reconsider what you are making Gray do."
Leaping out if her chair she throws her arms around Amber and gives her a huge hug. "I am so sorry, we didn't know. If we had know sooner we would have been with you since day one."
"I couldn't say anything brings up bad memories."
Letting her go she stands straight up wiping the tear from her eye. Amber gets up from the couch making Gray lose his hold of her hand.
"Family's traditions doesn't have to be set in stone. You have two great sons where they excel in there perspective fields. I wanted to run my own business and went to school for a degree. Unable to fine work after college Lyon pointed me towards being a manger for Gray. I wasn't to sure how well it was going to go. Here I am still years later and loving what I do. Everyone has a passion and drive what inspires them to be. Why distill what he loves or make Lyon not capable to take over. Please rethink this Ur and Sliver. My life can't compare to theirs, but I would hate to see both of them unhappy."
"You have given us a lot to think about Amber. We will take what we have heard seriously. I am sorry you went through such turbulent times. Why did you not tell us?"
"Sliver only a handful of people know. It was those people that could be trusted in not telling. Plus with working with Gray I don't want my past life to trouble his."
"It's very understandable and know we are here for you regardless of your background."
"That's very much appreciated."
Stepping back to allow his parents to be closer to Gray. Lyon comes around the couch to stand by his father. The older man puts his hand on each of his sons shoulder. Ur stands across from her husband and puts a arm around her sons as well.
"My sons I only want the best for you. I am sorry that I have added unnecessary pressure. I love you both so much. I am sorry that I wasn't hearing what you were saying. We are set in certain ways and our exceptions of you are high."
"Mother, we know what your plans for us are. We have different paths to travel on. I want to take over for father at the company and allow Gray to carry on with his dream of acting. My dream has always been about our family and the company. I may not be Dad's biological son, but I did take the last name Fullbuster when I was younger."
Watching them in there little circle talking and listening to one other was a good sign. Amber thought it was best to let them have some privacy. She needed to have some alone time to herself. Her hands and legs where still shaking and the memories where resurfacing. Leaving the room carefully and softly. The house was big and she had her favourite spots when visiting. Right now she wanted to feel cold and numb and made her way down the hallway to the outside patio. Charles was dusting a vase when she past by him. He nodded at her and carried on with his task.
"Now that we have talked a little I think it's best to resume this on a other day. Your mother and I will discuss about the future of our family."
"Yes husband lets have some drinks and put this aside and talk about other matters. I would love to have word with Amber and her pregnancy. I have some helpful tips that make the nine months easier. What do you say to that my dear?"
Ur turns to see where Amber was last standing and she wasn't there or anywhere else in the room. "Where did she go?" The four of them break apart and go searching for her. Gray and Lyon go out into the hallway to see maybe she was just standing by.
"Did she leave?"
"I drove her here Lyon."
"Ok I'll head this way towards the kitchen and you go towards the living room. Mother, Father why don't you stay here if she comes back. Who knows she might be in the bathroom."
"Oh no."
"What isn't son."
"Mother, I should have realized it sooner when I was holding her hand. It was trembling, telling you her story could have cause for her to close herself in. If she is in the bathroom it will take a lot of encouragement to get her out."
"What are you saying Gray?"
"Lyon you remember how she reacted with you the first time?"
"I do, never had I seen her behave like that."
"She curls herself into a ball, like a scared cat."
"I am going to call her brothers."
"No, it's ok. Lets us look for her first and go on from there."
"Okay, I'll check with the staff as I look."
Lyon and Gray run down the hallway in the opposite way. Searching in each room they come to and asking staff if they have seen her. He should be kicking himself for letting go of her hand. Paying attention he was, but not paying enough to it. The times Gray has witness how small she has looked and to be ever so careful with her.
"Did telling the story set her backwards. Will she be able to let me come near her. The progress we have made, I would hate to start over."
Spotting Charles at the end of the hall he runs right up to him. Take a few breaths in and holding up his hand to give him a moment before he could talk.
"Amber have you seen her? She left the room with out our knowledge."
"Sir, I did see her. She went that way towards the living room."
"Thanks Charles." He slaps him on the shoulder and hurries down the hall.
"Anything I can do Sir?"
"Will let you know."
Snow started to fall on the green grass, the flakes were small but each one has there own personal design. Her hand reach out to catch some and let it melt in her palm. The tension remained in her body, watching as her hand still shook. The anxiety was all to real and it's been awhile since a episode like this happen. The nightmares have not stop they would sneakily pop up making her scream herself awake. Standing under the cover porch and watch the view in front of her. "Why can't I be free?" Placing a hand on her stomach and thinking of the life inside her. "Glad I didn't conceive with him.
Gray finally reaches the living room and looks around the huge room. Hoping to find her in one of the chairs or the sofa. There was no sign of her and he was about to check someplace else when he felt a cold draft. Walking to the open screen door he sees her standing by the rail. Grabbing one of his mothers blankets from the couch he heads outside. He hears her talking to herself.
"If I had not done what I did that day I would still be with him now. My life would still be horrible and I probably would of ended up dead either way. He was such a vile man and didn't care what he did. The bitterness of him touching me, kissing me and when we had sex still lingers. Maybe I was better off not having Mystogan come by that day? What is the point of me wishing for a happy ending. I would give anything to fall in love and be love. That chance is gone because of him."
Pounding her fist on the railing and yelling at the top of her lungs. Buckling at her knees had her collapsing and passing out. It was to much for her not able to fix what was wrong inside her. Gray hurries and catches her before she lands and hurts her self. "Amber!" The blanket that he was holding onto he wrap around her and lifted her up in his arms. She was out here for far to long and cold to the touch.
"Charles! Charles!" Taking her into the hallway with him to see if he was still close by. It did summon the butler but also his brother and parents.
"Gray what is wrong?"
"Dad, she passed out on the porch. She is very cold."
"Charles get a warm blanket and get a guest room ready."
"Father I can take her to my old room. It's not far from here."
"Let me help you son with her."
"No it's okay I got her. Get those warm blankets."
Charles calls on a maid to do as he asks and the rest follows Gray to his old room. Lyon opens the door for him to enter. The room hasn't been used in awhile and the air was a little stale. Ur opens up a window a crack. Then pulls back the covers of the bed and Amber gets gently put down.
Ur covers her back up with the blanket and looks up at Gray. "Did you find her like this?"
"I found her talking to herself and then she was hitting the rail with her first and started yelling before she fainted. It was wrong of her to talk of her past like this. I wasn't careful and look at her."
"We will let her rest son. Can call in our family doctor to check on her."
"Dad no, she has a women doctor can't deal with male ones."
"Let us leave the room and come back to check on her later."
"I am going to stay."
"Gray you need to warm up too."
"Wasn't out there long like she was. It will be best if she is not alone."
"If you need anything call us."
"I will Dad."
They leave Gray to attend to Amber and to call them when she comes too. A maid comes in with a blanket. He pulls back the covers to the let the warm one touch her body and recovers her up again. The maid bows at the waist before heading out the door and closing it.
Instead of sitting in a chair by his old bed. He lays down on the bed beside her and waits for her to open up her eyes. Brushing some of her hair away from her face he wonders what he can do for her. "Amber sorry, should have been paying more attention."
Laying there beside her had cause him to fall asleep. Worrying about how this day was going to turn out, had made him tired. Being on his bed dull him into slumber. Ur check on the two of them to see if she was awake and needing anything. She smiles at the two and not want to disturb either one of them, so she shuts the door.
Lyon in good nature decides to call her brothers. They needed to know how there sister was doing. Also to talk to Jellal to know why they were not on speaking terms. The first call was to the oldest twin.
"Lyon, what is up?"
"Jellal hey, glad your are home. I have some news to tell you."
"What sort news, hope it's nothing serious?"
"In a way it is, I think you need to grab your brother and get here soon."
"Why?"
"Amber is here, she came with Gray. Told us about her being pregnant and that it was my brother's. Mother and Father demand that they get married at once. For Gray to take over the company. She didn't like that very well and voice her option and telling them about Dan."
"Did she really?"
"Yeah she did. Afterwards she left the room while we were talking. We went searching for her and Gray found her outside. Jellal she black out and is resting in Gray's room. I think retelling of her past cause her to have a other episode."
"Why did she do that?"
"Wanted our parents to know what it was like being control and used. Even though we were not abuse to the extent she was, her words still resulted in Father and Mother thinking about the future of the company and our personal lives."
"She shouldn't have said anything. Dam it. I'll get Mystogan and come over."
"Before you do. Why have you not mention to me of her being pregnant and of my brother. Knowing all these months and not talking to her."
"History Lyon her bad history. I have always looked out for her and protected her as much as I could. Her first mistake was dating that ass hole Dan. The second was having a baby and third was the final nail in the coffin when Gray told us it was his sperm she used."
"You think that her having a baby is wrong?"
"The way she went about it...yes. I was becoming supportive of her choices, the bomb was drop when we found out she was already pregnant by your brother. I went after him, thinking that he seduce her into bed."
"But she said that didn't happen."
"Lyon your brother has had many many women in his life. He probably doesn't remember the girl he had six months ago. I didn't want her to fall victim to him."
"Those two have always had professional relationship. When he first met her he never acted out his impulses."
"I know, it's just that my baby sister deserves so much more then being notch on someones belt."
"He can be a playboy Jellal, but he does treat women right. Not anywhere close to being like Dan."
"Realize I have jump the gun on walking out on her that night. I was angry, thinking she was foolish. I haven't bother to pick up the phone to tell her sorry."
"Make it up to her now and come. She needs family, and your support as the older brother."
"On my way, with Mystogan."
He ends the call, it will be awhile before they get here. Seeking out a maid and telling her to get some coffee and tea put on. They were about to have more visitors coming over. Lyon prays she wakes up for there arrival.
Opening up her eyes she looks at something white right in front of her. Refocusing her eyes she sees a button. It was a shirt she was looking at, but whom did it belong to. Her eyes travel up the shirt to see Gray sleeping face on a pillow. Somehow she ended up laying next to him and why. The last time they were on a bed together was in his trailer. Not wanting to wake him up, she starts to uncover herself with the blankets. Starts to sit up in bed to swing her legs onto the floor. She gets stop before sitting at the edge. "Lay down." Turning her head and to see Gray looking right at her.
"I will repeat myself, lay down."
Putting her head back on the pillow and her legs back on the bed. Gray takes the blankets and covers her back up. "Gray. I am fine now."
"You scared me to death when you drop like that. If I wasn't there to catch you."
"I remember yelling out and hitting my hands on the rail and it grew dark."
"Why were you outside in the cold to begin with."
Turning her head and not wanting to answer his question. There was no point for him to understand wanting to feel numb and cold. As for her memories to freeze and never reappeared again. His hand touched her cheek and make her look at him. "Tell me." Keeping his hand there and rubbing his thumb against her skin.
"I didn't want to feel the pain anymore. It's to much to handle at times and I just wanted to feel numb."
"Gees Amber. You can't do that to yourself or the baby. Staying out there for to long you can get sick."
"I would have come in when ready."
"As Ice cube."
"At lest I wouldn't feel."
"Amber don't self harm of yourself."
"Gray how can you possibly understand what I have gone through. I have spent and dealt with this more then you can ever imagine. Sometimes it's the only way to cope."
"What if harming yourself cause a major injury or you do lose the baby."
"Don't say that." She removes his hand from her cheek and puts the hand on top of the covers above her stomach. He wanted to put his hand inside the blankets and lay his hand right on her.
"I am not saying it to be mean. You have something important to keep save and you need to concentrate on that"
"I have been Gray."
"I know you have." Amber adjust her laying position onto her side and snuggles underneath the covers. Still feeling the cold and wanting to warm up more.
"Cold?"
"Yeah, I am."
"Can call for a other warm blanket."
"Nuh uh. We got to go soon, not want to inconvenience your parents any longer."
"We are staying here for tonight. Doubt mom would let you leave until you are perfectly fine. Now that she knows you are having her first grandchild."
Her eyes takes a moment to look around the room. There were a lot of books, a desk with a computer, dresser, trophy's on the bookshelf.
"Your room?"
"It is, thought you would feel more comfortable in here then in a guest room."
"That's thoughtful of you."
Sitting up in his own bed and climbing out. Gray had to tell Lyon and the rest that she was awake. He looks down at her as she is laying in his bed. In the past he has brought home many women to his room and right now he was fine with her being in there.
"Going to give them update on you."
"Okay." Walking over to his door he opens it up and before he leaves. He looks at her again.
"Stay in my bed tonight encase you need something."
"It is your bed and I can move to a other room. I should not occupy yours, not right."
He walks back over to the side of the bed and bends down. Squarely looking right into her stormy eyes.
"Stay, if need be I can sleep on the floor."
"Not want you to go through the trouble or the hassle over me."
"Amber I think it's best and besides the floor is carpeted I will not get cold."
For the third time he kisses her forehead and with a finger tabs the end of her nose. "Be back in a while, rest."
When he closed the door, she touches her forehead and can't understand why he did it again. It as if he was a parent making sure his child was alright. "You are a weirdo."
As he gets closer to where they are in the den he hears other voices instead of his family. The door was open and he casually walks in. The sight in front of him had him cringing a little after fighting with him last time. The tall blue hair older twin sees Gray come in and steps closer to him. Stood by the door ready to block an attack that might come his way. "Where is my sister Gray?"
