Chapter 10

Charlotte was released from the hospital after a few hours. Cooper and Charlotte didn't say much in car as she fell asleep within the first 5minutes of getting in. Once they arrived home, Cooper gently woke Charlotte up and helped her inside the house. Cooper made sure she was okay and gave her something to eat, and drink before placing her into their bed so she can sleep. Cooper kissed her forehead, whispered 'I love you' to her, rubbed her stomach and then quietly left the room to enter the lounge.

Cooper decided to watch some television in the lounge while drinking Beer, and he really needed it he thought to himself. Even though he was watching TV, he couldn't stop thinking about the last 24hours and what Charlotte has been through. He feels extremely guilty and wishes he had come home at the time he was suppose too. This is where he decides to call Violet because she has all the answers and she always makes some feel better.

CHARLOTTE AND COOPER'S NEW HOUSE

Cooper puts his beer down on the coffee table and picks up the phone. He tries to be quiet though because Charlotte is sleeping and he doesn't want to wake her.

Cooper: Hey Vi, It's Coop.

Violet: Hey what's up?

Cooper: In the last 24hours something terrible has happened to Char and it's my entire fault Vi.

Violet: What Happened? Is it the babies? Please tell me they are okay?

Cooper: Yes Vi they are fine, Thank god. If something had happened to them, I would have never forgiven myself.

Violet: That's good that they are okay. Then would did happen?

Cooper: Okay before I tell you, can you promise me you won't tell Char I said anything to you, because you know what she is like.

Violet: You can trust me Coop. And I won't say anything to Pete or the others either okay?

Cooper: Okay. Well last night when Charlotte was home alone as in was at work; her ex-husband showed up and tried to physically attack her sexually.

Violet: What? Oh no Poor Char!

Cooper: That's not all. He also had tried this before when they were newly-weds. The reason why he came after her again is because she went to the police with Big Daddy at the time, and her ex husband went to jail for it. Now that he is out, he wanted revenge but this time he wanted to finish the job off.

Violet: Oh Cooper... (Cooper cuts her off)

Cooper: I nearly lost her again Vi.

Violet: What happened must be very hard for Charlotte to process so you need to be the man and comfort her as best as you can. Have you asked her to speak with me as a professional?

Cooper: (sighs) She doesn't want to talk with you about it. She says she will feel more comfortable talking about it with Sheldon.

Violet: (disappointed) Oh I see. Well it's up to her and who she feels the most comfortable with. As long as she talks to someone then I am happy. But you can talk to me about it right, so I can help you through it?

Cooper: Of course! (Pause) I need you in a time like this because you always make me feel better and help me understand woman.

Violet: Anything to do to help. Hey Coop, sorry I have to cut this conversation short but Pete has gone out with Sam and Lucas is crying for me.

Cooper: I understand. Give Lucas a big cuddle and kiss from his uncle Cooper bear and Aunty Char bunny.

Violet: Will do. We will talk more at work tomorrow.

Cooper: Yeah about that, I am going to quit my job tomorrow so I can be with Charlotte all the time.

Violet: Wait, what?

Cooper: By Vi.

Cooper hangs up the phone.

Cooper picks up his beer to finish it and then continues to watch TV. About 10minutes later, he is asleep on the couch and snoring very loud.

Next day – Morning

Charlotte wakes up and is very confused as how she got into bed and changed into her nightwear. She starts to panic when she rolls over and doesn't see Cooper.

Charlotte: (yells) COOPER! COOPER, where are you? Please, I'm scared.

Cooper awakens to Charlotte yelling out his name. As soon as he heard her he immediately rushes to her side and hopes into bed and cuddles her tight.

Cooper: Char I'm here, I'm here. It's okay. We are all going to be okay, I promise.

Charlotte: Coop I'm such a mess! Look at me, you sure you still want to marry me after everything you have heard about my past?

Cooper: Nothing you do or say will ever make me leave you, you hear me? Never! I love you too much to let it happen.

Charlotte: I'm so scared of everything. I'm scared of losing you, us, and the babies. Everything that Joe did to me, and how i never told anyone except for Big Daddy and the police, has been eating me alive inside. That's why I act like I have this shield around me and I appear strong, when really I'm weak and a coward.

Cooper: You don't have to be strong when you aren't. Letting it out helps and you can always rely on me because I love to talk.

Charlotte: You know what Coop; I just realized that whenever we have one of your chat things, I always feel better and happier with myself.

Cooper: That's because I am the man, I am your man!

Charlotte: Yes you are definitely all man.

Cooper: Changing the subject a little bit, I spoke to my mom while you were asleep and told her to delay her trip. I didn't tell her what happened because I didn't think you would have wanted me too.

Charlotte: Thank you. I'm not telling my family either because I don't want them gushing all over me like a pack of damn wolves. I just want you.

Cooper: I'm going to quit my job today as well.

Charlotte: you sure you are okay with this?

Cooper: I've never been more certain in my life.

Charlotte: I don't want you to do this because you feel like you have too.

Cooper: I want too Char. We have quite a lot of money saved up so we can afford it. Plus it gives us time to pick baby names, buy baby stuff, and plan our wedding.

Charlotte: That sounds good and all, but Coop, it's a job that you love and have done for most of your life?

Cooper: It's just a job Char. I love you way more than my job. I always have and always will.
