Chapter 49

Sian pov

"What you think I'd make it that easy for you" he said aiming his gun at Sophie and Matty. "No please" I begged. "The great Sian Powers doesn't beg" I heard him say as the gunshot when off again. This time it didn't hit me. "NO!" I screamed as I saw Sophie falling to the floor.

I screamed and jolted up, it was dark, I couldn't see a thing. I was sweating and panting. "Sian? baby are you okay" I heard someone say as I jumped when I felt their hand snaking round my waist. "Sweetie its okay it's me" the voice said as I they made me look at them.

"Soph?" I breathed, I didn't realized I was sobbing until she brushed my tears away.

"It's okay, you had dream" she said as I hugged her. I felt the comfort of her embrace overflowing me as my panting calmed down.

"It's okay, you're safe. No one's gonna hurt you, it was only a dream" she soothed me as she was stroking my back.

"It was a dream" I repeated as she kissed my neck.

"Just a dream" she said as she cupped my face. "It felt so real" I stated as she kissed me on the lips.

"It wasn't you were having nightmare again, it's okay, you're okay" she said wrapping her arms around my shoulder as I nestled into her chest.

"Go back to sleep" she said as we lied back down. She was stroking my hair until I fell asleep. It was the second time that night I woke up because of a bad dream. I didn't want to go back to sleep, if I was honest I was afraid to.

Sophie's breathing evened out and I could hear her heart rate slowing down. She was asleep. I couldn't sleep, I wouldn't. I got up careful not to wake my beautiful fiancée and headed to the kitchen.

I sighed above the kitchen sink and put the kettle on. I put my hands under the tab and splashed some water in my face. The kettle went as I quickly put it off, afraid I might wake the brunette that was sound asleep in our room. I made myself a cup a tea to calm my nerves. I didn't know what brought this on, why was I so anxious. I was thinking over every single thing that happened and then it hit me.

"Oh shit" I muttered as I realized what was making me so anxious. I sighed deeply, why was I so afraid of this, for fuck sakes. I thought as I took a sip out of my tea. I laid back letting my head rest against the couch and closed my eyes, whishing everything could just slow down for a second.

Sophie pov

"Sian" I whispered as I tried to reach for her. I opened my eyes and realized she wasn't lying next to me.

"Sian" I murmured louder this time, but there was no response. I got out of bed and put on Sian's hoodie and some underwear. I made my way to the living room and saw her body scrunched up on the couch.

"Honey what are you doing out here" I asked her as I sat down next to her.

"Sorry couldn't sleep" she said as she shifted her position and rested her head in the crook of my neck.

"Babe…. I know it's been a couple of hard days lately, but you've had 2 nightmares in one night, what's going on." I asked her as she sighed.

"Well I can't help it can I" she snapped at me as she shifted away from me.

"Hey don't push me away, you know I didn't mean it like that" I said to her as I pulled her back, putting the cup she clutching onto on the table. She sighed and looked at me.

"Sorry" she whispered.

"Sian…. What were the dreams about" I asked her as she turned her gaze away from me.

"The shooting… and stuff" she said nervously as I sighed and kissed her head.

"Stuff?"I murmured quietly as she looked up and there was a slight panic in her eyes.

"You were in it and so was…. Matty" she stated as I furrowed my brows.

"Did the same thing happen as before" I asked knowing full well that she was going to say yes. She nodded as I sighed as I cupped her face.

"I'm never going to leave you, you hear me" I stated tenderly as she wrapped her hands around my neck and hugged me. I held her as tight as I could to calm her down.

"Baby what's going on? You're scaring me. You're taking your medication right" I asked her as she pulled out of the hug.

"Course I am" she said with a high pitch voice.

"I was only asking….. If it's not that, maybe we should go see Dr. W…" I suggested

"No" she said sternly as frowned.

"Why not" I asked tenderly.

"Because I know what's bringing these on" she said as I looked at her bewilder. I raised my eyebrows.

"Well would you care to share that information" I said sternly.

"I'm just anxious about ….. the wedding" she said as I snapped my eyes up to her and turned my gaze as soon as she looked at me. "She regrets it" I thought as she grabbed my wrists

"No not like that it's just we have to tell our families soon…. I guess I'm just really bricking it" she stated honestly.

"Babe, it'll be okay. We're in this together" I said as I pushed some hair strands out of her face.

She sighed and looked up. "I'm scared" she stated as I wrapped my arms around my body.

"Me too, but we will get through it and if they don't like it we'll elope" I smirked as she frowned.

"Don't say that, if I'm marrying you I'm gonna do it the proper way not in some dozy chapel in Vegas or at the town hall" she huffed as I laughed.

"You have it all figured out haven't you" I smiled as she tried to suppress her smile.

"Shut up" she said shyly as I laughed and kissed her cheek.

"You're so cute when you blush" I stated as she giggled.

"I love you" she whispered as she hugged me again.

…

I had held her until I was sure she was asleep. I woke up still holding on to her on the couch. I sighed in relief when I realized it was morning and she slept through what was left of the night. I kissed her forehead gently as I felt her arm hold me tighter.

"You awake?" I whispered as she nodded, her eyes still closed. She yawned as she snuggled even more into me.

"We should get up, we have to go meet my parents at noon and it's already 10h45" I stated as I saw her frown a bit.

"5 more minutes" she mumbled as she kissed my chest. I chuckled at her as I waited 5 more minutes.

"You done" I asked raising an eyebrow as she started to smile.

"No, not even close" she stated.

"Babe, if we don't get up we're going to be late" I said as I saw her smile grow bigger.

"So we'll be late" she grinned.

"Sian" I said sternly.

"All right" she sighed as she opened her eyes. "I can't help that your tits so comfy" she smirked as she kissed my lips. It quickly got heated. She tangled her hands in my hair and pushed her lips harder on mine. My hands started having a life of their own as they travelled to her arse and cupped it. She moaned as she pushed her body into mine. I could feel she was starting to get worked up. I pulled out of the kiss as she pouted.

"We don't have time" I breathed resting my forehead on hers as she moaned out of frustration. "We'll make up for it when we come back" I stated as she sulked and I started chuckling

"Get in the shower" I said as I slapped her bum playfully.

"Join me" she asked hopefully as I started laughing.

"Mhhm I would love to" I said as I came closer to her as her eyes started beaming. She grabbed my wrists and tried to pull me to the bathroom. I smirked at her as she frowned.

"Soph?" she asked.

"I would love to, but like I said we don't have time and I don't think I'd be able to control myself with you grinding against me in the shower" I stated looking at her, biting my lip at the thought of Sian all soaped up in the shower, her hands stroking her soaked breasts…

"You sure" she smirked knowing what I was thinking about as she pulled me out of my fantasy. I gulped and nodded

"Suit yourself" she said as she pulled up her shirt revealing her naked breasts. My eyes almost popped out of my head. I swallowed hard as she smirked at me. She headed for the bathroom leaving a trail of her clothes.

"Tease" I stated.

"You started it" she smirked as she closed the door.

…

Sian pov

"Wow that took every will power I had" I thought as I closed the bathroom door. After I showered I came back to the living room finding Sophie and Matty fully clothed.

"Hey" I said shyly. I grinned as I picked Matty up. "Hi babes, did you know your mum is the biggest tease in the world" I whispered, making sure Sophie couldn't hear me as I kissed him on the cheek.

"Careful I might get jealous" Sophie smirked.

"O didn't you know Matty is my one true love, aren't you handsome" I sniggered as she started chuckling.

"Says the biggest lesbian on the block" she giggled as I kissed her.

"Let's go it 11h47 we are going to be late" she stated as I put on my coat and followed her outside.

….

"Hya Soph come in…. oh hello Sian" her dad said surprised as we both went in, our hands entwined.

"Sal they're here" he shouted in the house.

"Awh Sophie I…. Sian?" she said, I realized that they didn't know Sophie and I got back together.

"Hi Mrs. Webster" I said shyly as she smiled nervously. I saw Sophie giving her a look I couldn't quit distinguish. Sally's gaze softened and looked a bit guilty.

"Call me Sally love" she said as I smiled nervously.

"I just finished preparing dinner, you wanna go sit at the dining table" she said pointing to it as Sophie gave my hand a gentle squeeze.

"I'm just gonna put Matty down first okay" Sophie said to her mum.

"Well of course love, take your time, the little lad needs to be comfortable too" she stated as I smiled at her.

"Soph can I do it, I don't want to sit alone in the kitchen with your mum" I whispered in her ear as she chuckled and pecked my lips.

"Thanks babe" I said as I started to take Matty out of his stroller and pulled off his coat.

….

"How are you holding up" I murmured out of Sally's range. She smiled at me.

"Let's just get this over with" she mumbled as I took a deep breath.

"So Sophie you didn't tell me you to were…." Sally stated during dessert. That woman always has to say the heavy things during dessert.

"Yeah we are" Sophie smiled as she put her hand on mine. "Actually mum I need well we need to tell you something" she stated as I started getting really nervous when I saw Kevin, Sally and Rosie's gaze fixated on me.

"What is it Soph" Kevin asked her as I squeezed her hands.

"Well I never really told you the reason why me and Sian broke up" she stated as I frowned. "Why is she brining that up" I thought.

"Well actually Sian told me" Rosie stated as I saw Sophie's face grow with confusion as she looked at me. I shrugged at her and squeezed her hand trying to pull her back to the subject she was heading to.

"Right uhm…. Mum dad…. I…. I kind of proposed to Sian" she stated as I sally almost choked on her meat and Kevin looked at us in shock.

"She said no and we broke up" Sophie continued as they both tried to hide their relief and gave her a smile.

"But…. when we got back together… she…she…" Sophie choked on her words.

"I proposed to her…. and she said yes, we're…. we're… engaged" I rambled as they looked shocked at each other, looking for some sort of answer.
