The different kinds of love

Chapter 12

"I'm scared Tom" Peri admitted "What am I going to do? I'm only fourteen"

"First of all it's what are we going to do. We are in this together and I promise whatever happens I'll never leave you to do it on your own" he told her firmly.

"I meant what I said, I do what to have this baby" she mumbled "But I don't know if I can do it, I can't give a baby what it needs"

"You can Peri" he told her with passion "You have so much love to give and I know you will do anything for that baby because you will love them" he finished with a weak smile which she returned.

"What if I'm not strong enough to do it" she sobbed as tears pooled in her eyes and threatened to fall.

"You are" he said as he took her hand and climbed onto the bed with her "You are so much stronger then you realise, you're been through so much already" he stroked her cheek with his thumb "And you have me" he added with hope "I love you"

"I love you too" she whispered back with a small smile "But I'm so tired" she told him.

"Why don't you lie down and get some rest. I'll be here when you wake up" he offered causing her to smile "I'd like that"

Back at the Lomax house Cameron had just let himself in, not seeing Leela anywhere he guessed she was upstairs.

As he walked toward the stairs and started to climb he could make out soft cries so he followed them, coming to a stop outside Leela's bedroom door as he knocked softly.

"Babe it's me" he called after getting no answer.

"Go away" she called back shakily.

"No, I'm not leaving until I see you" he called "What's the matter?"

"I don't want to see you" she sobbed "Go back to your wife" she added bitterly "I can't' believe I have been so stupid..."

"Leela I'm coming in whether you say I can or not" he told her and as he got no reply he cracked the door open to see her laying on her double bed crying.

He went over to the bed and sat at her feet "Baby, don't cry" he told her "What wrong?"

"She's pregnant" she mumbled as the tears continued falling.

"So..."

"So?" she sat up with tearstained cheeks "SHE'S HAVING YOUR BABY" she screamed.

"What? No... Who are you talking about?"

"Sienna" she shouted "YOUR WIFE" she screamed "What was I..." he quickly cut her off "No, it's Maxine, Maxine is pregnant and it's certainly not mine"

"What?" she asked, looking at him with shock on her face "She.. But, I..." she stuttered "Maxine..."

"Yes, Maxine is pregnant with Patrick's baby" he confirmed softly before silence fell between them.

"Wait a minute, you thought..." she cut him off "Yes" she mumbled "What was I suppose to think when I heard Nico shouting about it"

He chuckled softly to himself "I don't know but not that"

"Is it so weird to think that your wife could be pregnant with your child?" she snapped at him.

"Yes, considering we haven't been together like that for mouths" he admitted causing her to look at him in suprise "What?"

"Baby, I can't be with her when every time I am all I see is you" he told her causing her to blink a few times "Your in there" he tapped the side of his head.

"So, Sienna isn't..." he interrupted her and pulled her into his arms "No, I can assure you she's not" he told her and she let herself melt into his arms "I love you" he whispered into her ear causing her to smile.

Pulling back she looked into his eyes before speaking "So do you ever want kids?"

"I would love to have children but it just never happened" he told her, wiping her leftover tears away "Beside you're the only one I can imagine as the mother of my child"

"Really?" she asked in awe.

"Really" he nodded, caressing her cheek softly.

"Cameron..." she started but suddenly she stopped and thought about what she was about to say.

"Leave Sienna" she blurted out after a moment, meeting his eyes that were showing no emotion as he let his hands drop to his lap "Cameron, I can't bare it, I love you so much, even just the thought of you getting her pregnant made me go insane, I just need you to be mine and only mine"

"Okay"

"Okay?" she repeated, looking at him for confirmation.

"I'll leave Sienna" he said.

"You will?" she asked with hesitation.

"I will" he lent forward and kissed her briefly on the lips before starting to pull away but she grabbed him, pulling him back to her lips she deepened the kiss "Cam" she moaned.

"I can't, I need to go, Sienna thinks I just went to the shop" he told her.

She sighed before letting him go as she knew he was right "Go" she told him softly.

Placing one last kiss on her lips he got up and left.
