It's Always You

Chapter 4

Charles walked back to his room with a smug look on his face. He knew that Erik knew he was right and fully expected him to still be here in the morning. He gingerly turned the key in the lock and slipped back into the room. The occupant in his bed still in the same position he had left her in. He smiled and his blue eyes twinkled in the moonlight. He started to undo the buttons of his cardigan and discarded it on the chair along with his shirt and pants. He stretched his arms above his head and lowered himself gently onto the bed. He tucked an arm under his head and sighed heavily. Why had he dragged Alina and Raven into this mess? The red head turned in her sleep making cute little moaning noises as she moved her head to his chest using Charles as a human pillow. He chuckled lightly and wrapped his free arm over her back. He let his mind be filled with his thoughts and let his fingers absently draw patterns on the smooth expanse of skin that covered her hipbone. She murmured something in her sleep and snuggled deeper into Charles neck, her breath tickling his skin. He smiled contentedly and let his drowsy eyes fall asleep and he drifted off into a blissful sleep.

The next morning Alina smiled softly and he warmth that surrounded her. She felt content and safe; she would quite happily spend an eternity in this moment. The warmth began to move and shifted beneath her

"Where do you think you're going"

"You're awake" Charles said surprised that she was awake at this time in the morning.

"No I have full blown conversations in my sleep" she quipped

"Who knew you were so sarcastic in the mornings" he smiled kissing the back of her head.

"That depends on how you plan on making me quiet"

Charles smiled and turned her over, pressing his lips to hers, running his tongue across her bottom lip. She smiled into the kiss and turned over properly the sheets falling off her, revealing her naked body. Charles let his hand run up her side relishing in the feel of her warm skin under his hands. She groaned as his hand slid to her behind cupping her cheeks pulling her closer to him. He released her lips and smiled into her lust hooded green eyes.

"Why, you stop?" she asked breathlessly.

Charles felt all his blood rush south and shifted uncomfortably.

"Why did you leave My Darling?" he whispred huskily

"Charles" she said sitting up and grabbing the sheets and wrapped it around her naked body.

"I need to know" Charles said running a hand down his face.

"Now"

"Now" he confirmed

"I needed to leave Charles their was so much I couldn't do while I was stuck in England" she said turing her back to him and pulling he sheet up to her chin

"So you up and leave without even a word just a goodbye on an old napkin" he retorted angrily, why wouldn't she look at him? "YOU LEFT ME ALINA" Charles yelled letting years of bottled up emotions come to the surface.

"I was scared"

"What did you have to be scared of Alina, we were happy"

"I was so young and I wasn't ready"

"For what, I never pressured you into anything Alina"

"I was pregnant Charles" she let the bomb drop

"WHAT"

"I was pregnant"

"what happened" Charles whispered, letting the information settle in his mind, making him numb to his surroundings, the only thing he heard was her voice.

"I found out two weeks after we graduated and you had decided to take your masters. I didn't want to ruin your life too Charles, you needed to do your masters and I couldn't have stopped you doing that. So I called my mother and she let me come home. I left and 7 months later I had a little boy"

"7 months"

"He was premature, he passed away two days later"

"Passed away?"

"His respiratory system wasn't fully developed" she recalled the day the nurse had told her, that her son was never going to survive.

"What was his name?"

"James Charles Xavier"

"Alina, why didn't you tell me" Charles asked defeated.

"What would you have done Charles"

"I would have stood by you"

"Charles I couldn't do that to you, you would have married me and I was too young to do that i needed to live my life first"

"I had a right to know"

"I know, and I was going to tell you"

"really when?"

"When I found the right time, I can take you to his grave, if you would like?"

"after everything is over"

"Okay" she murmured and moved to get up and go back to her room

"I still love you Alina" she froze

"Really?" she said finally turning to face Charles who had the start of tears in her eyes unlike her who had let them fell down her face

"Alina, I just wish you didn't have to go through this alone, I would have been there for you"

"I know" she said letting Charles pull her into his warm embrace. Even after everything he would never let her go again, he understood her reasoning and he wouldn't let his pride ruin their relationship.

"Good, Now where were we" he said wanting to forget the past ten minutes.

"I think I remember" she said lightly pressing her lips to Charles, he smiled into the kiss and cupped the nape of her neck in his hand and pressed his lips and body more firmly to hers, letting his hand run down her back. They were interrupted by a knock on the door, Charles groaned and sat up as Alina continued to assult his jugular with her lips

"Yes" he managed to force out

"It's Moira"

"What can I do for you" Charles squeaked as Alina hit his soft spot.

"We have a surprise for you"

"I'll be out in a bit, I need to shower first"

"Okay I'll be back in 20 minutes"

"She just loves doing that doesn't she" Alina moaned sitting back on her legs, the sheet pooling around her waist.

"I know My Darling" he said pressing a kiss to where her heart was and getting up out of bed to go to the shower

"Go get ready and I promise to make it up to you tonight"

"Okay" she pouted crossing her arms over her chest.

"Or you can stay in my bed, I do not mind" he leant over pressing a kiss to her shoulder.

"Perv"

"Go get ready Alina"

"Fine" she said untangling her self from his sheets and pulling on her skirt and jumper, slipping across the corridor into the room she shared with Raven who was still sprawled out asleep on one of the twin beds that situated the hospital like room.
