Chapter Thirteen: Four Months In Time
"You're going to be just fine." The doctor told Rose as Scott held her hand, bandages around her wrists.
"And my baby?" Rose asked, a hand reaching down to her stomach.
"All three of you will be fine." The doctor said to Rose who smiled at his remark.
"He takes care of me." Rose claimed, squeezing his hand as they both smiled.
"Sorry, I thought you knew." The doctor mumbled as he turned around to see both of them confused.
"Knew what?" Rose suddenly asked, starting to get afraid.
"You're having twins, Rose." The doctor told Rose as suddenly everything seemed to stop in the world and she stared at the floor, remembering the dream.
"Anything else?" Scott asked, knowing something was being kept from them.
"Well, I've seen pregnant woman had mood swings, just like they would on their periods, but to be angry enough to slit their wrists, thus attempting suicide? Whatever she was thinking about had made her mad enough to want to die." He told Scott as he left the room, leaving a confused Scott and a frightened Rose.
-Four Months Later-
"Seems like just yesterday there was no bump. Now there is." Rose said as she waddled over to the couch, falling back onto it as Scott came over.
"Four months ago you were scared to have this bump and now you're happy," Scott said, sitting next to Rose as he grabbed her hand and whispered, "I'm happy, too."
"Twins. So, for a girl, Sophia, if two girls, Sofia and Dakota, for a boy, Julian, and if for two boys, Justin and Julian." Rose said, checking on the names as Scott nodded his head, satisfied for the names.
"Sixteen and Pregnant," Rose said as she put on the show, seeing all the excitement of being a teen mom. "Why aren't I on that show?"
"Because it's drama and we don't want that." Scott said as he put his hand on Rose's who flipped threw channels only to land on Final Destination.
"My favorite movie." Rose claimed, seeing the part when the plane exploded and she was instantly drawn in, even though she's seem it a million times.
Scott put the blanket around Rose as she had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie. Standing up, he shut off the TV, kissed Rose on the forehead, and headed out to go to his house. Looking back, he made sure everything was locked and she was safe before he shut the door. As he got in his car, driving away, an unseen beast, the werewolf, was outside the apartment building, just waiting for the perfect time to attack. Going up to Rose's window, he watched her sleep, planning when he would attack. As he saw the sun in the distance about to rise, he got away from Rose's window, finding the perfect time to attack Rose next.
Painting the walls sky blue, Rose took her brush, put it in the paint, and turned only to brush Scott's face with it, causing her to laugh.
"You're going to play dirty? I'll play even dirtier." Scott told Rose as he dabbed a blob on Rose's nose.
"You did not just do that," Rose said as she picked up another brush, putting them both in the paint and painting across Scott's black shirt. "There you go."
"Game on." Scott said as he took a can of paint, dipping his brush in as Rose did the same, paint flying everywhere.
"Got you!" Rose shouted before Scott basically slapped her with the brush, a sky blue line across her face.
"I got you, too." Scott smiled, seeing Rose wipe it away with her wrist before throwing the brush, taking the whole can, leaning it back, and throwing it all over Scott.
"That's a good color on you." Rose said, laughing before Scott dumped his can on her and then she turned to the wall, seeing it plain white.
Going up against the wall, she began to make sky blue body prints across the wall, Scott doing the same with the other wall. Once they were finished, almost all of the room was covered in sky blue body prints, but the walls were mostly covered.
"You'll buy another two cans?" Rose asked as she spared him a fifty which he took, going to the store just after he changed.
"A perfect room for two perfect children." Rose claimed, seeing the room decorated all around with baby stuff, for a girl or a boy.
"A perfect life." Scott said as he wrapped his arms around Rose, his hands on her stomach that was looking like the twins were ready to pop out.
"Hey, do you ever wonder if we'll be good parents?" Rose asked as she stared at the cribs for the babies.
"All the time. There's so much questions, but no answers." Scott replied as he put his chin on Rose's head, smiling.
"Do you ever think about Allison when you're with me," Rose asked, turning around to grab his hand, look into his eyes, and say, "Please be honest."
"Yes. I few of the times, but that was at first. Now all I think about it you." Scott said truthfully, finding what was in his heart.
"Someday will you tell me your secret?" Rose asked as she watched Scott become nervous.
"What secret?" He asked, trying to put away the thought.
"It's no secret that you have a bigger secret than I do, but you won't tell me unless you know that I trust you, and I do, but when you're ready to except that, I'll be waiting." Rose said as she took both of his hands, looking in his eyes.
"Rose, I have nothing to hide." Scott simply replied, seeing Rose drop his hands and walk away from him in frustration.
"Yes you do, Scott," Rose yelled, turning around to him as she told him, "But you just don't want to admit it. If you're not willing to tell me someday you'll tell me your big secret, I don't think we're ready to have this kind of relationship."
"Rose." Scott said as he put his hand on Rose's shoulder only for her to shrug it away.
"I was wrong to think that you'd love me enough to not hide who you are, but I can see that the only one you truly ever loved was Allison, thus you telling her. No secrets between Scott and Allison because their relationship was perfect, wasn't it," Rose turned around, away from Scott as she whispered, "Please go away."
Hearing Scott's footsteps towards the door, his goodbye, and then the door shut, Rose sat down on the couch, crying. How could she just tell him to leave and bring up Allison like she was nothing? Wiping off her tears, she got off the couch and walked over to the window, looking out. Turning around, she leaned against the window only for it to open as hands came inside, pulling Rose out. As the thing tossed Rose out of the window, she grabbed onto to ledge of the window, trying to hold on. Whatever took her out of the window was long gone by now, leaving Rose to hang off the building.
"Scott," Rose screamed as she looked towards the ground, seeing people walk below her as she was suspended in the air and then Scott came into view. "Scott!"
Looking up, Scott saw Rose hanging from the building and he quickly reacted, running back into the building before he yelled, "Hang on," to rose.
Closing her eyes, she felt one of her hands slip, it falling to her side as some pieces of the building came off as her hand fell. Opening her eyes, she looked back down at the ground and reached back up to the ledge, crying as she held on.
"Scott!" Rose yelled again, fearing for what would happen as her voice broke.
"Rose, I'm right here." Scott said as he reached his hands out on the ledge, pulling up Rose only to have her left hand slip out of his hand, her falling only for her to grab into the spaces of the bricks on the building.
"Scott, I didn't mean what I said. I was upset about the stupid secrets you have kept from me. I'm so sorry, Scott." Rose cried as she looked below her again, not feeling this scared in her whole life.
"That doesn't matter right now." Scott said, reaching back down for Rose as she looked up at Scott.
"No, 'cause it does matter," Rose began looking into Scott's eyes as she smiled. "You're the only reason why I'm hanging on. You're the only reason why I am here right now. You're the only reason why I have the twins. Most importantly, you're my true love, Scott. Don't you ever forget that, you hear me? I love you, Scott. I really mean it." Rose told Scott as her hands began to slip, letting go of the bricks as she began to fall, screaming as she turned from looking at Scott to facing the ground.
Rose has cheated death too many times, so maybe this time she won't come back. She'll be killing the babies, taking herself from Scott, and she'd be killing herself. Opening her eyes, she reached out for anything to grab onto, desperately trying to save everything she has. As she thought she was going to die, her hand caught onto a pipe coming from the building letting Rose swing her other hand over it as she pulled herself onto it, getting onto the emergency stairs. Dropping on the floor of the stairs, Rose closed her eyes as she started to cry, putting her hands on her stomach as she looked down, smiling.
