Best friends to lovers

Was it worth it???

Noah sees Dixie in the corner and rushes to her.
Noah: Dixie, what happened.

Dixie: please d-d-don't touch m-m-me. Noah backs up, and he puts his hand out, and she holds it.

Noah: I'm going to call Tatum to grab the kids, then I'll take you to the hospital, okay. Dixie nods. Noah rings Tatum and asks her to look after the twins.

Tatum comes, and she sees Dixie and goes over to Noah and Dixie.

Tatum: hey, what happened.

Dixie: T-t-Tayler g-g-Got m-m-mad because he kept forcing me to have sex with him when he was drunk.

I told him that he wasn't going to be in the twin's life, and he dragged me upstairs and hurt me, then pulled me downstairs and started hitting me.

Noah: I'm a kill him for that. He doesn't deserve you, Dixie, and I will tell him that.

Tayler: good, let's go, mate.

Noah: don't fucking test me, man. I was so nice to you. I even encouraged you when you felt down. You and I were friends, and you go and hurt her.

Tayler: smiles. Don't you know, Dixie, your pregnant that's why I did all this was to make sure I had you forever.

Noah goes over and punches Tayler.

Noah: DO NOT EVER FUCKING TOUCH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AGAIN. Noah then shoves him out the door, and he goes over to Dixie.

Dix, I know you are scared, but we need to get you checked up, okay. Dixie nods, and Noah asks if he can pick her up. And she nods, and he touches her, and she starts shaking.

Tatum: Dixie, can you stand. Dixie nods. Okay, well, we will help you to the car, okay. Dixie nods again, and Noah and Tatum help her to Noah's car. Tatum runs back inside and grabs the twins. She puts them in her car, and Noah drives to the hospital.

Noah gets to the hospital, and he helps Dixie out, and she's holding onto him tightly and shaking. They get to the reception, and the nurse sees Dixie and takes them to a room. And a female doctor comes in, and Noah tells her everything. Then he leaves the room, and the doctor takes some swabs for evidence.

She cleans Dixie up and does an ultrasound.

Doctor: Okay, no bleeding, now let's check. Oh, congratulations.

Dixie: congratulations? Why

Doctor: oh, did you not know you were just three months pregnant. The doctor leaves, and Dixie gets changed and walks out.

Noah: everything okay.

Dixie: Yeah, everything is fine. Do you mind if I...

Noah: before you say anything, of course, you can stay no questions about it. They leave the hospital and go to Tatums and pick up the twins and then head to Noah's.

Tatum had said she would grab hers and the twin's things and drop them off tomorrow.

They get back to Noah's, and he tells Dixie he'll get the kids sorted, so she has a shower and stays in the guest room.

She gets out of the shower and puts some clothes on, and she goes over to the mirror and sees her bump and smiles and a tear drips down her face, and she wipes it away.

She then lays down on the bed and falls asleep Noah comes in and sees her sleeping, so he puts a blanket over her.

Then he goes and kisses the twins on the head and falls asleep, and an hour later, Dixie wakes up in a panic, and she grabs her phone and remembers she's safe. She goes back to sleep but keeps waking back up.

She goes downstairs and out to the pool and puts her feet in. She puts her hand on her bump.

Dixie: it's just you and me. Bubba, your dad won't Be in the picture. I'm sorry. I wish it were different.

You have two other siblings, Dylan and Ethan. They will love you so much. Their daddy is amazing. He treats me like I'm the only girl in the world. I hope one day he can be your daddy too.

Dixie dries her feet and goes back upstairs. She hears Ethan, so she goes into the twin's room and picks him up.

Ethan: Mumma, wuv.

Dixie: Yeah, baby boy, mama loves you and sissy. She rocks him back to sleep and lays him back down.

Dixie goes back to the room she's staying in and tries sleeping but can't, so she reads a book. Noah wakes up early the following day and checks on Dixie and sees her awake.

Noah: morning, dix. Why are you up so early? Dixie sees Noah and smiles.

Dixie: cause. What are you doing up?

Noah: I wake up around this time. Tatum should be here with your clothes but sleep till then. I'll take care of the kids.

Dixie starts falling asleep, and Noah goes downstairs.

30 Minutes later

Noah hears screaming, and he rushes up to Dixie and sees her having a nightmare. He puts his hand on her cheek and starts caressing it, and she starts to calm down and wakes up. She starts crying.

Noah brushes her hair away, and he says. Hey, hey, it's ok. It was a bad dream, that's it, you safe. Dix did you sleep at all last night.

Dixie: no. I need to tell you something. I'm-I'm pregnant. It's taylers. Dixie runs off. Noah chases after her. Please leave me alone, Noah. Noah catches up To her and holds her, and she collapses in his arms and cries.

Noah: dixie, I don't care that its taylers. I made the mistake of abandoning you once I'm not doing it again. No matter what, I'll love this baby because it's a part of you.

Dixie: you will. Noah nods and holds dixie. He then picks her up and takes her to his room, and lays her on the bed. He pulls the covers up over her.

Can you stay with me? I can't sleep.

Noah: of course, hang on. Let me get the twins so I don't have to get up. Noah goes and grabs the twins and puts them in their cot in his room, and they fall back asleep, and he lays down with dixie.

He lets her move, so she's comfortable, and then he slowly puts one hand on her bump and the other around her, and she puts her hand in his and starts falling asleep.

2 hours later

Tatum knocks on the door but doesn't hear anything. She gets her key and unlocks the door. She puts the bags of stuff down, and she goes upstairs. And she slowly opens Noah's door and sees Noah Dixie asleep and the twins asleep

She goes and wakes up Dixie lightly.

Tatum: hey Dixie, sorry for waking you. Yours and the twin's things are here. How about I take the twins, and you and Noah can. Just chill for the rest of the week. If you want to see them come over, but rest and chill this week.

Dixie: Tatum, you don't need to do that. Thanks. Tatum leaves, and Dixie grabs her phone. And she takes a video of Noah sleeping, and he kisses her cheek and then snuggles into her. Then she puts her phone back down and falls back asleep.

10 hours later

Noah wakes up and sees Dixie asleep still, so he kisses his cheek, and she wakes up.

Dixie: morning, handsome.

Noah: morning, beautiful.

Dixie: so can we talk about us.

Noah: yes, of course. They sit up and have a long talk and decide......
