When I woke up again, I was happy to see it was morning, like in this room. Anymore of this darkness would only scare me again, after the nightmare of last night. I shivered as the mental pictures came back to me, though I couldn't quite hold back a small whimper of fear.
As soon as I had made a sound, Rob turned over next to me in bed, and stole a glance at me. I kept my eyes in front of me, trying not to cry as I remembered my nightmare more from the night. I didn't want to keep crying on him all the time.
''Are you okay, love?'' Rob asked me worriedly, reaching out and taking my shaking hand in his pleasantly warm hand. I nodded, still keeping my gaze on our bedroom in front of me, and trying so hard not to cry still.
''I'm just…still upset.'' I managed, trying to swallow back the sobs rising in my throat, because I didn't want to cry again. I wanted to be brave for once, I wanted to look after Rob for once. He was always the one looking after me; pregnant or not.
''I know love, but its not real. Just keep thinking that it wont happen.'' He said, kissing me on the cheek. ''Do you remember Tasha telling us about that bad dream she had a while ago?'' Rob asked me.
I nodded. Tasha had had a scary dream; she dreamt that all of her family died, which obviously wasn't going to happen, but it still scared her, and made her very upset, which of course would be a normal reaction.
''Well that's not going to happen, is it?'' Rob asked me. I forced a nod again. ''And the dreams that you can remember, wont happen. So stop worrying; because its not going to happen, okay?'' Rob begged me.
I nodded again, turning round to face him now. He smiled at me, looking slightly unsure about something or other. I kissed him, running my hands to his hair, and gently pulling his face closer to mine.
We kissed…once, twice, once more, and I pulled away to rest my head on his chest. I wasn't too sure what I would do if Rob wasn't here anymore. He was the person I lived for, the very person that I depended on.
''I love you so much, you know that.'' I said softly against his chest, listening to his hammering heartbeat, as he ran his hands through my hair.
''Not as much as I love you.'' He replied, kissing the top of my head. I was sure that was wrong; there was no way that a person could love me as much as I loved Rob. I couldn't bear to be without him, and it only got worse the more time that we were together.
I sat up after a while, preparing myself to get up. But that was when it all happened. I gasped in shock as a awful, sickly feeling came over and my hand instantly went to my stomach, out of a normal reaction.
I felt like I was going to be sick for sure, unlike sometimes when I feel sick, but don't feel as though I was going to be sick. Rob called after me worriedly, but I was already through the bathroom, where I was violently sick.
''Ugh.'' I groaned, whilst Rob was already there, pulling my hands free from my face before I had even been sick. ''Disgusting.'' I groaned again, before I was sick for the second time. I absolutely hated being sick.
Rob kept silent the whole time that I was being sick, because he probably knew exactly what I knew. This was definitely morning sickness. I hadn't had anything to make me sick, as I had beet eating right.
I had been eating everything I should, and had been having double portions of healthy food, like vegetables, and fruit, and fish for protein for the baby. There was no way that this could have been food poisoning.
''You alright now?'' Rob asked me as I washed my mouth out. I forced a nod, and a smile at him, even though I felt absolutely disgusting and smelly after I had been sick. ''Morning sickness?'' Rob correctly identified, sounding humorous.
I looked at him to see him smiling, and I narrowed my eyes to glare at him. He wouldn't be laughing if he was feeling this disgusting. And anyway, it was partly his fault as he was the other half to make this baby.
He should be feeling this bloody awful too.
''Yes, I'm glad you find that so funny too.'' I replied sourly, making him laugh easily in response to my temper.
''It's not that; it's just that we were talking about this the other day, and we thought that you weren't going to have morning sickness.'' He defended himself.
''Obviously, god had other plans.'' I mumbled back sourly, making him laugh again. I left him to it, and got into the shower to wash my hair. I needed to have a shower because of last night's nightmare and today's sickness, I didn't smell too great.
It made me wonder how Rob could even stand to be near me, as I really didn't smell that great before I had got into the shower and gave my hair a good needed wash.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around me before walking back to my bedroom to get changed into some baggy clothes. The baggy clothes were to hide my ever-growing baby bump.
We spent all day in the house, enjoying having the time to talk, read, and most importantly; I got another preview of his amazing talent which was singing. He sat at his grand piano, in our music room, and I sat down next to him on the bench, as he play a couple of his songs.
He even got his guitar out to play Let Me Sign acoustically, before we had to get ready to go out with the Girls tonight. We had been invited to go clubbing, and we thought that we might as well go along too, but just not drink.
''I'll probably have to go into the studio tomorrow; I'm recording a new song for Breaking Dawn.'' Rob explained to me as I looked in the mirror, putting on some blusher whilst Rob lounged lazily on the bed.
''That's good but…you don't sound too thrilled about it.'' I commented, because it was true. He sounded really pissed off that he was having to go to the studio, which was unusual for him. He loved singing, and he absolutely adored acting too.
''No I am, it's just…well, I'd rather spend the day with you. To be honest, its kinda pissing me off now at how I have to do these interviews and recording songs for the movie when I should be at home looking after you.''
''Oh please, Rob. I'll be fine.'' I promised him, because I would be.
''I know that…it's just that I feel like I'm doing wrong by going to work, when you're at home, and-''
''You love your job, and me and baby will be fine. And I'll ring you if I have any worries.'' I promised him, before adding; ''You'll probably get like a zillion calls from me anyway; you know what I'm like for stressing.''
He laughed easily in response. ''Well I don't mind,'' he commented lightly, shrugging in response.
I brushed my hair, leaving it straight and ran some curlers through it, curling different strands of hair. I had tried to find a dress that was loose fitting, but ended up with a casual, plain, black dress which was smocky-styled and too casual.
But as I had nothing else to wear-nothing that was loose around me and covered my growing baby bump anyway-it would do for tonight.
I put on some I put on some black tights, and heels to go with it, and after successfully platting both sides of my hair, I put the two sides back, around my hair. I laughed as Rob pulled his arms around me, and kissed my neck.
''You look beautiful.'' He complimented me, making me grin. I might not have felt very beautiful at this moment in a all-too-big dress, but as long as Rob thought that I looked pretty, I wouldn't mind much.
''Thank-you…as do you.'' I complimented him, because that was so true. He looked like an absolute angel in a casual, black vest, and jacket to match, with even hotter jeans. I licked my lips involuntarily, like how I always did.
''And we match.'' I added, because it was true. We was both dressed in black, but my reason was because my dress was too short for me to wear no tights. I wasn't showing off my already fat legs, thanks.
''Yeah, we do. Ha. They'll be talking about that next.'' He laughed with me. It was true; the constant paparazzi interest was very much getting to me. ''Do you want to listen to my new song before we go out? I wanted to show you before I recorded it in the studio tomorrow.'' Rob asked me hopefully.
I nodded. ''Yes please.'' I followed him over to the bed, and listened to him singing his heart out. It was called Say and it was so good. He had written himself, and as he got lost into the music, got lost into the story that belonged to breaking dawn and this song; I could only smile and watch him pour himself into it.
He watched me unsure after he had just poured his life into that one, glorious song of his. ''That was amazing.'' I promised him.
''You sure?'' He checked, sounding really unsure about it.
I nodded, and smiled as I leaned my face closer slightly, breathing in his scent' his face inches from mine. ''Hell yes.'' I replied, before lowering my lips to kiss him.
He sighed happily against my lips, and wrapped his arms around me, pressing me closer to him. I took his lower lip into my mouth as our soft kisses began to get more urgent, and bit down gently, hearing the moan of pleasure from him as I did.
I pulled away right on cue, watching him groan in disappointment, and squeeze his eyes shut together. I laughed in response, and placed a very chaste kiss on his lips before pulling away quickly again, and leaving him pout at me.
''You know that the Girls will never forgive us if we don't leave now.'' I warned him, and sighing; he forced a nod in response, and got up with me; going downstairs and calling for a taxi to pick us up so that Rob could drink for tonight.
The taxi only took ten minutes to get there, and we walked out, ignoring the flashes of camera lights that hit us as we got into the taxi. We were meeting the Girls inside the club, and as we got out of the taxi, the paparazzi were waiting for us again.
I walked into the club hand in hand with Rob, and ignoring them totally like how I knew that I should be doing. We walked into the club, not able to hear ourselves think over the loud, banging club music.
Rob lead me to the bar where everyone was, and ordered a beer, whilst I just had a non alcoholic cocktail. I didn't want to make it too obvious about my pregnancy by getting a glass of water, though Rachael only had a glass of water as she was a heavy eight months pregnant.
Her and Jackson were due to go home in a couple hours, especially as the music was too loud, because Rachael was tired too, which wasn't helping things. We got a table at the side of this big open room, which looked more like a hall, away from the loud music, where we could talk a little easier.
Rachael and Jackson only ended up staying for an hour and a half, and they apologized at us as they left, which was silly. This music was far too loud and if Rachael was tired then it would be better to go home and get some rest.
I looked around the club, watching everybody dance, knowing that they were definitely drunk now. It was nine at night, and we had been here since seven thirty, and all the gang had been drinking since then, besides me and Rach.
''Rob, are you drunk already?'' Tasha asked in shock, slurring her words slightly as she asked him. I looked back to see Rob's head drooping as he tried to shake his head in response unsuccessfully.
I could tell that he was though; his eyes were all blurred and spinning, like how they always were when he was drunk. I laughed in response, unable to help myself. He was even struggling to sit on his chair properly.
''No, I really am not-'' I laughed helplessly as Rob fell off of his chair, drunk obviously. We all laughed, because it was impossible not to; he hadn't even expected to fall off of his chair, which was funny to see him looking shocked about it; his eyes wide awake now.
I helped him up, even though he almost ended up sending me to the floor too, because he was that heavy. ''God.'' I complained as I successfully helped him back onto his chair, and he grinned at me drunkenly.
''Thanks love.'' He said, before kissing me on my cheek, making me blush bright red and Tasha and Kirsty laugh in response.
Aston got up with Kirsty to go and get some drinks in for us all then, and we left them to it, talking about something or other when Kirsty came back a few minutes later, not looking happy at all.
''What's wrong with you?'' Tasha asked her confused.
''Them Boys are starting on Aston. I tried to stick up for him, but he wont let me. I had a right fucking go at them, and because they pushed me, Aston's sent me over here!'' She complained angrily.
I looked round at the dance floor to see Aston getting pushed by a Man, who was a bit taller than him. He had bright golden jewellery on, and his skin was a little lighter than Aston's dark skin, and his hair was cropped and platted.
''Well I'm not having that!'' I growled angrily, feeling just as pissed off as what Kirsty was now. I got up from the chair, preparing myself to go and see what this fucker of a Boy wanted. There was no way that I was letting them hurt Aston like that! He was a mate.
''What do you think you're doing?'' Rob demanded in shock, reaching round and grabbing my right wrist roughly in his hand, stopping me from going anywhere.
''What do you think I'm doing? I'm going to have a go at them!'' I spelled it out for him. I wasn't happy, and there was no way that he was stopping me from doing this; pregnant or not. I weren't going to just let them fucking push my friends around!
''No you are not. You're going to sit back down again and let Kirsty deal with this.'' He warned me, getting up from his chair too, and trying to get me to sit down. I wouldn't have it though, because there was no way that Kirsty could deal with this on her own. There was three Guys against Aston!
''No, I'm not Rob. Not even Aston can deal with this on his own, so I'm going, and don't try and stop me!'' I warned him, trying to push my past way him.
''Sit back down now Charlie. I'm not letting you get involved!'' Rob warned me, shouting furiously.
''I don't care; nobody speaks to my friends like that and gets away with it!'' I shouted back, pushing him out of my way, only to be caught by his arms. ''ROB, GET OFF OF ME NOW. YOU'RE NOT STOPPING ME!'' I warned him, pushing him away again.
''Charlie, this is mad, you're three months pregnant-''
''-I don't care. I'm not having them treating my friend like that!'' I shouted back before running to the dance floor before he could stop me. I knew that he was worried about me, but I wasn't having Aston get beat up for some scum.
I caught up with the Guys in time to see another lad push Aston hard, almost right into me. I stopped Aston, and stepped in front of Aston. ''EXCUSE ME, BUT WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PUSHING?'' I shouted above the loud, club music.
I was even more livid now that I had seen them push Aston so forcefully. I didn't know who the fuckers thought they were, and despite this baby; my temper was already taking over instantly. I wanted to seriously lose it with them.
This Guy turned his head and smirked at me in response. ''Is this your bit on the side then, Aston?'' One of them asked as they all stared me up and down.
''She's feisty, I'll give her that.''
''And very, very fit too-''
''-She's my friend actually, so you just better watch your mouth before you say anything else. She doesn't need to get involved in this, thanks.'' Aston snapped back at them, snarling the words at them as he threw me an angry look for coming over, before trying to push me to the side…I wasn't moving though.
''Maybe I don't want to. She's fit as hell.'' One of them commented, eyeing my legs appreciatively as he eyed me up and down. I was about to say something that I really regretted, before Aston got the chance first.
''Fucking carry on mate! Just you keep your eyes off of her, because if you don't, there will be fucking trouble! Her Husband's just over there, you know.'' Aston warned them, nodding his head over to the table.
But the only person who was sat there was Kellan, who nodded over to us anyway, clenching his fists together. I smiled appreciatively at him for sticking up for me, and turned back to see the Guys trying to snicker off Kellan.
''Never mind, we'll soon get rid of him-''
''-YOU SICK BASTARDS! WHY DON'T YOU FUCK OFF; ASTON HASN'T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU!'' As soon as I pushed one of the Guys, Kellan was already there, pushing me away from them.
''Get off me Kellan, I'm fine!'' I promised as the music went off because of what was going on here.
''Calm down then.'' Kellan warned me. I nodded, and he let me go.
''She's got a big gob on her, that one!'' One of them snickered. I turned to see Aston glaring at them in response.
''Fuck off, you're causing a scene.'' Aston warned them because it was true. Everyone was turning to watch us now, which would be embarrassing if it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to kill these guys now.
''Well I want to cause a scene, because you are a fucking dickhead!'' One of the Guys said, nudging Aston in the chest hard. Aston didn't do anything making them all smirk, but I wasn't having that.
''Keep fucking pushing it, mate!'' I shouted, pushing them again. They pushed me hard, violently, and right into Aston. That was when Kellan stepped in, instantly losing it with them for pushing me, especially so hard.
''Go and then buddy; hit her again and see what you get!'' He warned them, instantly in front of me, and backing into the Guy he pushed me. The guy looked up to him, as he was smaller and a lot slender than the tall and burly figure that was Kellan.
''Oh, you going to stop me, are you big guy?'' one of them asked sarcastically. Wrong move; especially against someone as big as Kellan.
''Yes I am and you'll fucking regret, so leave her alone.'' Kellan warned them, sounding absolutely pissed off now.
They huffed and pushed past him and pushed me again, making me gasp in shock. ''Hey, I said leave her the hell alone, didn't I?'' Kellan shouted at them furiously, pushing them away furiously.
The Guy reached for me again, trying to shove me out of the way. ''Get your hands off of her!'' I gasped in shock as Rob's voice echoed into the club. He walked over to us; his grey eyes blazed in fury over these men.
''Rob, it's okay.'' I tried to soothe him as he pushed his way past me, attempting to reach them. He stopped automatically, but his eyes were still glaring at them.
''No its not; you're pregnant for god sake Charlie!'' He warned me, as though I didn't know myself. He tried to get to them again, but I wouldn't let him.
''Rob stop, it's okay, I'm fine-''
''-Fuck off mate, it's got nothing to do with you!'' The Guy shouted at Rob, instantly making Rob even more livid than he already was.
''It has when you go around pushing my pregnant wife, so why don't you all fuck off, before you really regret this?'' Rob warned them, taking another step forward, closer to them.
''Rob, stop-''
''-Bring it on then!'' One of them said, going to hit Rob. I gasped in shock, but Kellan had already got the Guy's hands in Kellan's tight hold, leading him with the others to the bouncers, who were already on the dance floor.
They chucked the men out, and we went back to sit at our table with me feeling very guilty after to trying to act all brave.
''I'm sorry Rob, I just…I couldn't stand to see them having a go at Aston. I should have left it, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to get involved too.'' I added because it was true.
''It's about time that you realized that if you're involved then so am I. I weren't going to let them hurt you.'' Of course he wasn't, because he wouldn always stick up for me, but that just made me feel even worse.
''I'm sorry.'' I apologized again.
''It's fine.'' He promised me, kissing me quickly. ''I know what you're like; brave, trying to stick up for yourself. And despite the worry, I wouldn't change anything. I love you.'' He promised me, kissing me again.
I smiled in response, watching Aston and Kirsty dance together on the floor. Once the song tat they were dancing too ended, they came back over and Aston apologized to us even though it wasn't really his fault at all.
We left an hour later, wanting to go home after tonight's activities, especially as I was getting tired too. And I fell asleep as soon as I was up the stairs and in bed, and had just gotten changed into my cool nightclothes.
