When we got home we immediately went to bed. Colby was always so sweet and would make sure I was okay before he went to bed himself.
I hated that he was constantly worried about me and the baby because this was supposed to be a happy time for all of us.
I just didn't have the capability to take care of myself when my heart was so tattered. I was trying so hard to stay strong and keep it together while I was at the hospital with Ki. I didn't want any negative energy around her at all.
"Goodnight, babe." Colby said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Goodnight. I love you." I whispered as I rested my cheek on his chest. I felt him sigh as he kissed my head. "I love you, too. I'm so sorry this is happening." He said as I nodded and sniffled.
"It's okay...I just hope she wakes up soon." I said then nuzzled into him a little more. "She will..I can feel it." He said and scratched my back gently. I nodded then tried to focus on Colby's heartbeat, letting it lull me to sleep.
In my dream I was driving with Colby. I looked down to see that I was majorly pregnant. I smiled down at my belly, feeling my heart warm up at the sight of it. I looked over at Colby, taking his hand as I rubbed my belly with my other hand.
Everything was just so good as we drove down the road. I felt like things were falling into place and we were finally extremely happy. We drove for a while before the sky turned dark and rain pelted our car.
"Shit..babe pull over." I said quietly as Colby let my hand go and put it back on the steering wheel. "It's okay." Colby said and focused on the road. I shook my head as the rain pelted down even harder.
I opened my mouth to beg him to pull over again but was interrupted by a car slamming into us causing me to scream as the car flipped multiple times.
I woke up screaming, holding my chest as Colby jolted awake. "Are you okay!?" He asked as I hid my face in my hands. "C-car accident." I whispered as he pulled me into his chest. "Shhhh..it was just a nightmare." He cooed as I shook my head. "It wasn't though...It's real life." I said as I hid my face in his chest.
I don't think Colby knew what to say because he just held me tightly. He combed his fingers through my hair carefully, trying to calm me down. "We're never driving again." I said and pulled away from him after a minute.
"I thought you wanted to go to the hospital in the morning." Colby said as I shook my head. "We're walking. We better start now so we get there by morning." I said and started getting out of bed.
"Violet, stop. I know it's scary but I promise I will do everything in my power to make you feel safe in the car. I won't let anything happen to you." He said as I shook my head.
"You can't control other people..that's how accidents happen. It's never the people I love's fault. It's always someone else." I said as Colby got out of bed and walked over to me.
"I know, sweetheart." He said then pulled me into his embrace. "I'm sorry for waking you...I-I'm gonna go downstairs and make-" I started to say but was interrupted by Colby. "No. You need to try and rest, V. No crisis baking." He said as I shook my head.
"I'm not gonna be able to sleep." I said as he sighed. "Please try for me, V. Please try for the baby." He said as I frowned. "Nova or Andrew." I said as he breathed a laugh. "Nova or Andrew." He repeated as I nodded.
"I'll try." I said with a sigh, then turned to the bed. I hated that this was putting so much stress on the baby because I didn't want anything to happen to it. I had to listen to Colby because we was constantly level headed.
I was so grateful for him.
We got in bed then cuddled up together again. I could tell Colby was waiting for me to fall asleep because he was just drawing circles on my shoulder, trying to calm me down.
