Chapter 4:
Disclaimer: Um nothing!
A/N:
"Sam!" Justus said as quietly yet angerly at his wife.
"What?!" she screamed back at him.
"We are not keeping her!" he said back to her.
"You act like she's some kind of animal I found and brought home!" Sam yelled at him.
"Because you treat her that way! Send her back home to her husband!" He finished.
"No! I wont subject her to that!" Sam shouted at him.
He just looked at his wife.
The phone began to ring.
"Answer that!" he demanded.
"No you!" she screamed at him.
"Just answer the damn phone!" he responded.
"Why do I have too?" she asked him.
"Why wont you?" he replied.
"Because I dont feel like it!" she said cocky.
It took them a minute to realize they were now arguing over who was going to answer the phone.
"Oh I will get it!" Sam said picking it up.
"Hello." she said into it.
"Its for you!" she said holding the phone out to Justus.
"Hello? Hey man whats up." Justus said into the phone while throwing his wife a dirty look.
"What does he want?" Sam asked cocky.
Justus just looked at her.
"Yeah she is here." he said as Sam thought thats what he wanted to know.
"Well I think you's need to sort this out I mean I may not know every detail but there has to be a way you can just talk it out." Justus said as he looked at his wife.
Two minutes later he was hanging up the phone.
"What'd he say?" Sam asked him anxiously.
"He wants to talk to his wife." Justus said emphazing the word his and wife.
"Maybe he came around!" Sam said with a smile.
"Sam the problems they have are their problems. You need to stay out of it!" Justus said before climbing in the bed.
"I'll be right back." she said walking out the door and downstairs.
"Hey." Courtney said as Sam walked in the guest bedroom.
Sam just shot her a short smile.
She could tell that she had been crying.
"You okay?" Sam asked her as she moved beside her.
"Yeah." Courtney said nodding her head.
"Well guess who just called." Sam asked her.
"Robin and she wants you to babysit again tomorrow?" Courtney asked her.
"Nope. Your husband called and wants to see you." Sam replied.
"Damn wishful thinking." Courtney said about her answer.
"Hey! You're married to this man!" Sam responded.
"But I dont want to talk to him! He should know that from where I didn't answer my cell for him!" Courtney exclaimed
"Do it for me please?" Sam answered.
"Ugh! Fine whatever." Courtney said as she threw back the covers.
"Call me later!" Sam said as she saw her best friend to the door.
"Maybe you'll see me later!" Courtney responded.
She got back to her house and it was silent.
Dead silent.
She threw down her purse on the end table and took her jacket off and placed it on the back of the couch before walking into the master bedroom.
She stood in the doorway at first and just watched him sit at the end of the bed playing with his wedding band.
She could tell that he was debating on wether or not to take it off.
Courtney just watched him before he could feel being watched and looked up at her.
As bad as she just wanted to run into his arms she didn't.
She held back the temptation.
"I didn't think you were going to show." he said as he looked back down at the ring.
"Did you not want me too?" she asked him as she leaned on the doorway.
"Im not sure." he said looking back up at her.
What kind of answer is that? She wondered.
She just looked at him as he looked at her.
Five minutes past and she was getting tired of standing there.
She had better things to do like eat and sleep.
Or at least she thought they were better things to do.
"What did you need?" She asked him breaking the silence and shifting her weight.
"I wanted to talk." he said looking back up at her.
"About?" she asked him.
If it was over her being pregnant she was going to go insane.
"Us." he simply responded.
"What about us? You made it clear what you wanted and so did I! Where did you get lost at?" she asked him.
"I got lost at you deciding to throw away our marriage and our love over something that you knew I never wanted!" he said loudly as he stood up.
"You knew this is what I've always wanted and lived for!" she screamed back at him.
"I always thought you wanted me and lived for me!" he yelled back at her.
She let a tear escape her eye before wiping it away.
"I guess you thought wrong huh?" she asked him in a lower voice.
"Yeah it wont be the first thing I thought wrong about either!" he said back to her as he turned his back.
"Tell me what else you were wrong about!?" she said louder at him.
"Us!" he said facing her.
"What else Nikolas?!" she continued to scream at him.
"Your love for me because obviously you dont love me as much as you claim you do or did anyway!" he exclaimed.
"Funny you should say that." she said shaking her head.
"Really? Why?" He asked her bitterly.
"Because Im starting to wonder if you ever loved me at all!" she responded the same way he asked.
He just began laughing.
"Really?" he questioned her.
"Really." she replied.
"Okay I put your past, who you were, who your parents are and what everybody else said about you aside! I lost some of my best friends over being with you and if thats not love please inform me of what it is cause I sure as hell would like to know what I wasted all my time on for nothing!" he screamed at her.
"How can you say it was for nothing?" she asked getting softer.
"Look at us Courtney!" he said looking at her.
"I mean-" he began to say as she let more go.
He held back the ones he wanted to shed and just rubbed his hands over his face taking a deep breath.
"I love you Courtney but this baby is tearing us apart." he said softly.
"And I dont want it too. I want us to be a family." she said as she wiped the tears and looked at him.
"I know that but I cant see it happening. I dont doubt in a minute that you wouldn't be an excellent mother. I know you will be. Its me that I doubt." he finished as she just looked at him.
She quickly wiped her tears and ran over to him and hugged him as tightly as she could.
She didn't say anything and neither did he.
He wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer as she stayed latched on to his neck.
She wasnt about to part from him.
Their grips on each other got looser and she just stared into his big brown eyes as he stared into her baby blue ones that were blood shot.
Without hesitation she kissed him and hard too.
He pulled her closer because he didn't want her to part away from him.
She continued to kiss him and her grip got tighter.
"I want to be with you." she said when she finally broke away for air.
"I want to be with you too." he said back as she just smiled up at him and then went back to kissing on him.
The truth was he did want to be with her. Just her however. Little did she know her little fantasy of a happy family would turn into her worst nightmare.
