Silent treatment

The baby

"He has to stay in the bed for about two days for the healing process to finish. I cleared his system the silver's out." Tate informed me.

I smiled and hugged him tight getting a growl from Darius but swatted him away. "Can I talk to you?" I nodded and exited the bedroom and he pulled it shut. He looked down at me sadly. "I know he put his hands on you. I need you to tell me truthfully do you love him?" I was dumbfounded by the question and I subconsciously held my hands on my stomach.

Do I love him?

No.

Because I don't know what the hell love is.

I pointed at the notebook and pen and he handed them to me. 'I don't love him yet. But I want to learn to love him. I'm carrying his children.' I wrote slowly and showed him.

"Children?"

'Five.' I wrote he grabbed my stomach in his hands and moved his lips without speaking his eyes boring into mine.

"You'll deliver safely." He promise. "Thank you, I love you sis." He kissed my cheek.

'You can stay in the guest room tonight.' I wrote grabbing his hand before he could leave.

"But Darius-"

'Will be thankful. Wether he admits it or not he is thankful.' I wrote shoving it in his face.

"And what do I do till then?" He asked me.

'Go to the central building and ask for Jacob and Oliver.' I smiled. 'And I better see you tonight or I'm going to hunt you down pregnant or not. Try not to kill anyone.' He chuckled and nodded hugging me and leaving out the front door.

I opened the bedroom door and looked at Darius who barely kept his eyes open. "Hey . . ." He spoke up trying to sit up and I shook my head at him. I crossed the room and he pulled back the pillows telling me to get in taking into consideration that I have yet to bathe and change I shook my head at the offer. Plus he had a large gauze stretched across his abdomen.

"Please I want to listen to your heart beat it calms me." He pouted sticking out his bottom lip. "Plus being close to you assures me your safety."

I'm the one that should be worrying about his safety.

"Don't make me get up." He threatened shifting on his elbows. I shook my head and hands in union and sighed sliding into bed. I stayed far away from him and he looked annoyed. "I can't hear your heart all the way over there." he mocked.

I sighed and moved a bit closer and he yanked me over to him and laid my head on his chest. "That's better." He sighed raising the hem of his shirt with his fingers and holding my bare stomach. "Five kids." He whispered. I looked up at him and his eyes watered a bit looking at my belly. "Just dust." He said wiping away the tears and sniffling and I laughed at him a bit.

"I've missed you." He kissed my head. His lips were so soft and warm kinda like his personality and body.

I smiled to myself.

"You ready?" He asked resting his head on mine. I shook my head. "Oh and I might've forgotten one little important detail about our Thursday night." He laughed.

I don't find this amusing.

"You're meeting my parents." I pulled away from his sitting up and shaking head.

Is he mad?

I can't.

Not like this.

Next week you'll see my stomach.

Maybe not that bad but you will.

"They won't see it. Smell them maybe, but they won't see them." I shook my head again and put my hands together literally begging him to call it all off. "Babe I'm not canceling on them. They want to meet you and a baby isn't something you can hide forever. Let alone five of them." He pressed.

I sat on the end of the bed and ran my hands over my face frustrated bouncing my right leg. "Baby please," I shook my head and stood up. He reached across the bed trying to touch me.

'I'm not even legal yet Darius! It only takes 7 seconds for a person to make first impressions of you. What impression will people make when a 17 year old walks into a baby store?' I asked unlocking our link. 'I'll tell you what they'll think, she's a slut.' I said walking out and slamming the door.

I walked out the house trying to find a place of serenity. 'Can I shift?' I asked Amethyst.

'Not while preggers.' She sang happily. I sighed and walked up the front steps of the central building. I walked up four flights of steps and took a left at the top of the steps. I opened the large oak doors and sat in the seat behind the desk and stared out at the land.

It was breath taking.

I sighed and turned in the chair to face the door and found Liam And Logan arms crossed. "Darius sent us looking for you." Logan answered my unspoken question. "Why'd you run off?"

I picked up a blank line sheet of paper and a Number 2 pencil and wrote, 'he wants me to meet his parents.'

"Damn." Liam laughed. I turned in the chair facing the window again.

"Cmon lets get you back to him before he freaks and tries to find you himself." I sighed and stood up standing beside Logan. "Why do you smell different?" I shrugged walking past him and he grabbed my shoulder. "Are you?" He asked.

I stared at him scared to admit it. "Cameron. Are you or are you not pregnant? Or were you with someone else?"

I nodded slowly and put a hand over my stomach. He smiled at me and ushered me back to the house where Darius was standing up against the counter. "Congrats." Logan said patting him on the shoulder and leaving.

"Where the hell did you go?" He asked panicked. I didn't answer. "Cameron answer me!" Again my name is Gale. "You smell like another fucking male where the hell were you?"

I looked down at my expanding stomach. "Cameron where the hell did you go?" He seethed taking a step forward. I took one back. His eyes flickered and he took another step forward but I stood my ground this time dropping him and letting him hit the floor with a thump.

I sprinted into the bedroom and locked the door and ran into the closet locking that door. I heard the first door fall and him scour the bedroom sniffing the air.

"Come out here before someone gets hurt and answer my damn question!" He yelled and I coward back whimpering. The door flew inward and I curled into a deeper ball. "Cameron I swear if you don't answer the damn question someone's getting hurt." His voice husky and full of hate.

Is this what it looks like when people see me. He looks like the fucking monster I though he was. I stared him dead in the eyes not trying to hide the emotion that stirred in my eyes and his softened.

"Gale." He begged and I shook my head. "I didn't mean to." He shook his head.

'You're a monster.' I linked him.

"N-no." He shook his head disbelievingly. He out out his hand but I didn't lean away instead I leaned towards it and he pulled me into his arms like a bear. I leaned into him scared and safe at the same time.

"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry kitten. I didn't mean to it was just, you left and I panicked because last time you left I had to drag you back, and I don't wanna have to do that again. But who was the male?"

'There was no male.'

"The who is it?"

'The baby.' I answered and he looked down at me.
