THIS IS THE EPIC CHAPTER!!!!!!
Love you my readers!
Ze usual: I own nothing…..nothing at all…….
Oh, by the way, the song in italics is by Fireflight called 'Wrapped in Your Arms'
Chapter 9
Grace pov.
Is this the whole picture or is it just the start?
Is this the way you love me, you capturing my heart?
I watched Wayne leave with a unenthusiastic look on his face.
Did he already know what was wrong with me? Was it bad, was that why he barely said anything to me?
The doctor shifted and sat where my brother had been moments ago. She breathed deeply as if this affected her.
"We found hormones in your blood that are saying that you are pregnant."
I closed my eyes and bit on my lip.
I used to try and walk alone, but I've begun to grow
And when you tell me just to rest I'm finally letting;
Pregnant?
I was a criminal investigator.
A single cop.
Pregnant.
I let go
I breathed in deeply and nodded to myself.
What did I expect?
I had been raped.
"The reason I wanted to talk to you privately was because I wanted to know your choice."
The doctor's words cut deep even if she didn't know it.
Even if this child (yes child) was made because of an evil man, it was still an innocent baby.
"I-----"
"I'll give you some time."
With that the doctor left the room.
I felt warm tears stream down my face and heard murmurs outside my door.
Arms wrapped around me and held me tightly.
And I'm here to stay
I knew who it was and I hid my face in their chest and sobbed silently.
Nothing can separate us
I wasn't crying because I had such a hard choice to make, no, I was crying for all the people who went through what I had and killed the helpless child.
And I know I'm okay
But part of my tears were self pitying. I couldn't, no wouldn't kill this baby, that much I was sure of, but how would I raise a child on my own?
You cradle me gently wrapped in your arms
"Everyone will be there for you. I will, your parents, Alex, everyone." His voice soothed me and I knew his words were true.
……..I'm home…….
His arms pulled me tighter to him and I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent.
"And if you decide that you want to give it up, then we will all be right there with you."
I felt hands stroke my hair and I felt……..strong, like I could do this.
But that was I thought now.
What about a few weeks from now?
I'm seeing so much clearer
Looking through your eyes
Would I be able to wake with a smile on my face as I have for so long?
I doubt that.
Wayne's arms pulled me back and his eyes studied my face.
I wanted…. I didn't know what I wanted.
"Please?"
I didn't know what I was asking for.
But, somehow, Wayne knew.
I couldn't find a safer place
Even if I tried
Lips were on mine and my arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer to me.
Yes, this was what I wanted; needed.
If I needed help with my future, Wayne would help me as would my family.
I knew that.
All the times I've needed you
You've never left my side
I pulled back and looked up at him.
"If I said……I wanted to keep this child, what would you say?" I asked.
I wanted Wayne's approval over all this.
I also knew I wanted him to be with me.
But, I was trying not to get too ahead of myself.
"I'd say I'm with you for that choice. I'll do everything I can for you….the both of you." Wayne's voice was sincere and his eyes filled with love.
I'm clinging to your every word
Don't ever let me go…..
I felt new tears spill over.
Shoot.
Why did this man have to be so…perfect……
I leaned up and kissed him.
I loved him and I knew he loved me.
Don't let go….
We pulled away, gasping for air.
His hands that were tangled in my hair moved to cup my cheek.
"Sleep."
I nodded and sunk lower into the sheets.
I knew that I could do this, have this child and live happily even after all the pain.
Fingers stroked my face, soothing me into the deepest sleep I've had in a long time.
And I'm here to stay
Nothing can separate us
And I know, I'm okay
You cradle me gently wrapped in your arms
……I'm home………
Yes I'm home…………….
