Chapter Nine: Bleeding Love

Thinking over the names, the money, the room, and the baby, Rose pushed her hair back as she slipped out of bed dressed in her Flora by Flora Nikrooz Duchess night gown. Walking over to the door of her bedroom, she put on her Acorn Textured Moccasin black slippers and slipped out of the room. Just as she started to make tea, the doorbell rang and she walked over to open it, still a little tired. Opening it, she saw her parents and siblings waiting outside in the hall.

"I'm glad you came over. I need to tell you something." Rose said, stepping back as she allowed them in.

"Honey, we talked by ourselves and decided we overreacted. You were right. We had no reason to yell at you when we put you here in the first place, nevertheless, alone." Her mom said, her dad cutting in around the middle as they both talked.

"Don't forgive me just yet. I have some news to tell you," Rose began to say, taking a deep breath and then saying, "I'm pregnant."

"You're what?" Her dad began to scream, but her mom calmed him down.

"How long?" Her mom asked as she kept herself calm, even though it was hard.

"A couple days. Now, before you tell me all this and that, I want to tell you this is my life and I'd like to live it with Scott. I know I'm sixteen, but that doesn't me you'll need to support me, which wouldn't happen because you're probably furious with me." Rose said as she looked at her family who was in shock.

"Is that what you think? It was a surprise when we saw you with Scott and we instantly thought yelling at you would keep you away from him, but it wouldn't. We had no reason to meddle in your life here and I'm glad you have found a place in Beacon Hills. We want to tell you that we support your decisions." Her mom said as he dad listened, starting to agree.

"Now, Rose, sweetie, we want to know if you'd like us to help." Her dad asked, suddenly seeing another side to the baby and the life with Scott.

"No. I want to do this on my own." Rose said, nodding a little as if to agree with herself.

"If that's what you want-" Her mom began to say, only for Rose to cut her off to say, "I do."

"Then we'll be heading back to Kansas. I'll call you when we get back home." After her mom, her dad, Malcolm, and Chey gave her a kiss on the cheek and left, Rose collapsed on the bed in her room, exhausted.

Seeing the sunlight from the crack between her curtains, she began swinging her legs over the edge of the bed to walk out of her room. Before she walked out, she saw her phone blinking with a text message. Taking her phone, she slowly out of her bedroom and into the kitchen, putting the phone on the table. Pouring her tea into a cup, she slowly sipped it as she looked at her text saying, "Enjoying the tea?"

Looking at the message, everything seemed to happen in slow motion as she dropped the tea, collapsing on the floor only to hit her head on the edge of the table, knocking herself out.

"Rose? I'm coming in." Scott said as he opened the door and came inside to look around for Rose.

As he looked in her bedroom, the bathroom, the living, and every other possible room, he finally came to the kitchen to see the edge of the table bloody, her phone on the table along with a text message, a broken cup with tea spilled everywhere, and Rose lying on the floor, unconscious.

"Rose?" Scott said as she slid down to her, putting her head on his lap as he tried to feel for a pulse, which wasn't there.

"Not this time." Scott growled as he laid her gently on the floor and began to give her CPR.

Pumping her chest, he plugged Rose's nose and blew air into her like he was kissing her. He proceed to do the routine for several minutes, hoping for a heartbeat. As he lifted his head from Rose's lips, he began to let a few tears drip from his eyes, about to loose hope only to see Rose begin to cough, lifting her back off the floor and then crashing back down, staring at Scott's eyes.

"What happened?" Rose whispered only to have Scott kiss Rose on her lips and squeeze her like a hug, only it was much tighter.

"Twice my heart has stopped for over a few minutes and twice you saved me. You're like my gardenia angel, Scott." Rose said as she stood up from the couch to walk over to him.

"Twice you were died without me. Next time you might die and I might not be there to save you-" Scott whispered as he began to blame himself and Rose cut in.

"But you saved me twice. Keyword being twice. You're the only reason why I'm alive right now and why I was before." Rose said as she put her hand down on his, grabbing it as she smiled.

"We need to get you to the hospital to check on you and the baby, meanwhile I'll check who sent the text message." Scott said as he wrapped his arm around Rose's back while grabbing the phone as he walked her out, hoping for everything to be alright.

"It seems that you and the baby are both fine. You, Rose, are a lucky girl." The doctor told her as she got off the seat and walked to the door before turning back.

"Thank you." Rose said as she walked out of the room only to be greeted by Scott.

"How are you?" Scott asked as he put both hands on her arms, looking at her.

"We're alright." Rose told Scott as another person came around the corner and stood in front of her.

"Rose, this is my best friend, Stiles. Stiles, this is my girlfriend, Rose." Scott said as they both shook hands, both of them smiling.

"I want to go home." Rose said like she was drunk, but Scott didn't notice.

"I'll take you home. Let's go." Scott said as he took Rose's hand and she smiled, happy that for the first time in the world that they were both smiling together and their love was leaking to each other.
