Forever Mine

Chapter 35

"I love you so much Avery. You did such an amazing job. Wren and Liliah are so lucky to have you as their mom."

"I love you so much Liam. I couldn't do this without you. I can't wait to watch them grow up. I'm so happy to have you by my side."

Liam leans down to the hospital bed and kisses my lips. I felt the sparks, the fireworks. Everything you should feel when you kiss. I was so lucky he was mine. Thanks to that terrible ex of mine, Chase. Liam and I met.

I instantly shot up. I could feel the sweat on my body. It was a dream. A horrible nightmare. I looked up and saw my bump. I was pregnant. I was still kidnapped. But I was still in love with Chase. He wasn't terrible, it was Liam that was the terrible one. Liam shot up.

"Baby what's wrong?" He looks at me panicked.

"Just a dream." I lie back down and turn to my side trying to ignore him.

He instead just snuggles up next to me. I try to break free but he just pulls himself closer. Eventually I drift off to sleep even though I try not to in his evil arms.

Liam's pov:
Me and Avery were so happy together. We were going to run away to get married together everything was going just perfect. Then Chase called. She called out to him. To save her. That's when I knew it was all a lie. She was just trying to get me to take her to the courthouse so she could escape. She fooled me so many times. How could I think it would go any different this time?

Just a bump in the road. That's all it was. We were still getting married tonight, things were just going to be a bit rushed. I felt so much anger for her but the thought of marrying the love of my life was attempting to overpower it.

We got married. Everything was perfect. Well she was a wreck and was terribly upset. I was a bit too, our wedding hadn't gone as planned. Everything would be ok though we were going on our honeymoon. We were supposed to... we were so close. That's when the nightmare ends. It always ends just the same. Chase is taking Avery away from me. He takes my wife right from my own grasp.

I shoot up instantly and see Avery is awake. My poor angel. Did she have a bad dream too?

I get this dream pretty frequent. In prison I could barley sleep. The thought of my Avery out there with Chase. I was afraid it would be too late by the time I got her back. What if she tried to get married to him. Or worse, was pregnant with his kids? Thankfully once I found her location my mind was put to ease. When Robbie showed me that picture of her. My heart had stopped. She had gotten even more beautiful. More beautiful than I remembered. Her smile was so pure, so innocent.

She was having a nightmare too. Just like me. My poor angel. I snuggled her tight. When I would wake up in a panic when I had that terrible dream, I would just look at her and my mind would be at ease. She was mine. She wasn't going anywhere.

I struggled to fall back asleep. I missed the old us. Of course I was thrilled to be having children but the way everything happened. I wished we were back at the house. Our old home raising them. I hate being on this stupid island. I hate being so close to Emma and Ryan. Avery spends more time with Emma and just resents me. I feel like I barley see that glimmer of happiness anymore. As the days drag on she just looks more tired. More sad. Where had I gone wrong? Why couldn't we back to the old us?

I barley slept that night. I just wrapped around Avery and tried to hold back the tears. I couldn't stop thinking what if. I never should have engaged with Chase. It was his fault. I just wanted to see the look of pain on his face. The pain I felt when he was with Avery. If I never talked to him about Avery he would've never suspected it was me. I wish Avery and I never met like this. What if it was her and I that met in college? No Chase. Just me and Avery. We could be so happy together. Having Wren and Liliah together. Be a normal couple. Do normal things. I wished we could be that way. At this point I would take anything just to be with her. Even if it meant it was hell.

There was only 4 months left of it just being Avery and I. I had to make the best of it. I wanted us be happy and go back to normal. I looked at my phone, it was 6am. I finally drifted off too slip in peace.

Avery's pov:
I looked over at the clock and it was 9am. Liam was still passed out. Huh. He's usually awake by now. I was surprised when he woke up last night when I did. I thought I was quiet when I rose but I guess not. I could hear my stomach grumbling. I rubbed my belly.

"I'll feed you guys don't worry." I laugh to myself.

I throw the covers off and head to the bathroom to get ready. I put on some sweats and a t-shirt and throw my hair into a messy bun. As my belly got bigger I didn't care how I looked. Whatever fit was what I wore. I peeked out of the closet. Liam was still sound asleep. Damn. Really?

I guess I shouldn't be complaining. It's nice to have the alone time. Things haven't been bad between us per-say, but they also haven't been great. I mean I guess they are as good as they can be saying I'm being held against my will. I'm also not falling in love with him or feeling Stockholm syndrome so we're getting somewhere right? I couldn't wait to watch him rot in prison for the rest of his sad life.

Having to tell Wren and Liliah one day was going to be one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. How do you tell your children, "oh by the way your father is in jail for kidnapping me 2x and you came from him." How can they move past that?
We will cross the bridge when we come to it I guess, right? I mean we will be off this island long before that time comes....... unless Liam catches us.
