Madison's POV

So here I am sitting here on a stool at the island watching Tom cook.

"Are you gonna say something?" I break the silence.

he stops. He turned around, walked over to the island and sighs.

"Madison I need you to not interrupt me when I speak Okay? Just let me talk." I just nod for him to continue.

"I saw something with you. I don't know what it is but I feel like I have a gravitational pull towards you. Like I need to be with you. I mean your amazing.-"

"Then why did you do what you did?" I cut him off.

"Let me finish." He says waking back to the stove. I just roll my eyes.

"It's dangerous to be associated with me. I didn't want to or the baby to be in danger, but then I realized that I like you Madi, as more than a quick thing. And I've never liked anyone like that before." I blush at his words.

"But, I didn't want to seem weak so I did what I needed to do to make you hate me." He stopped and gets a plate.

" so why didn't you come tel-"

"Love I'm not finished." He cuts me off.

" after that I thought for a while I felt like I did the right thing but deep down in side I knew I wanted to be with you. My mother helped me realize that I can still be strong and like someone." He finishes. He sit the plate of Alfredo right in front of me.

"Thank you." I mumbled. The room falls silent, I don't know how to feel about what he just said. Of course I'd like Tom I mean look at him. I just felt like there was different ways to go about the situation. I feel like he could've just talk to me but instead he went to sleep with another girl while he was supposed to be hanging out with me. I get that he has to put on this image but it doesn't mean that he has to actually be a dick.

"Don't you get it?" I sigh. He looks at me confusion in his face.

"Get what?"

" that I'm already associated with you Tom. I'm literally sitting here pregnant with your child. If you were scared of me being in danger from being associated with you that ship has already sailed.." I answer his question.

"I know that now Madison." He replied. I just hum and start eating. I take the first bit and let's just say he doesn't know how to cook. He's looking at me for a response I just nod and hum.

"How is it?" He asked.

"Can I be honest?" I ask.

"Please."

And with that I got up.

" where are your seasonings?" I asked.

"That bad huh?" He laughs.

"Where are they?" I ask again this time rolling my eyes.

" third cabinet on the left. " he points. I walk over and reach but the handles are too high for me to even touch.

"Need help darling?"

"No I got it." I say getting on the counter. while I'm trying to get up I scrap my knee.

"Shit." I say getting back down. Tom raising his head to look at me.

"What?"

I just point to my knee which now has blood dripping from it. He looks down and his eyes widened.

"Shit." He said rushing over to me.

"Tom I'm fi-" I'm cut off by him picking me up bridal style. I gasp at this interaction.

"What are you doing?" I awkwardly laugh while he starts to walk up stairs.

"Your bleeding."

"Okay and? That doesn't explain why your carrying me." I say as we reach his room. He gestures for me to open the door with his head. I open the door and me walks in.

I've never been in his room before. The walls are all black, the sheets are black, dressers are black and the curtains are black. Just being here makes me want to be depressed.

He places me on the bed and went to his bathroom for something. Not long after he comes out with a first aid kit in hand. I just roll my eyes.

"Really?" I laugh.

"What?"

" you carried me up here to put a Band-Aid on me??" I laugh again. He just laughs and nods. He comes to sit down next to me.

"Put your legs on my lap." He says. I look at him to see if he's actually serious. He gestured again but this time to his lap. I just sigh and do as told.

"This might sting." He said pouring rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad. I just nod. He rubs the bloody area and makes sure it's clean. I just look around his room again and say...

"It's really depressing in here."

"No I just like this color." He laughs reaching for a band aid.

"Why?"

"It goes with everything." He responded. He put the Band-Aid on and looked at me.

"There you go."

"Thank you doctor." I say and he laughs.

"Your welcome." He says still laughing.

While we're laughing I realize that I haven't went to the doctors yet. I haven't went at all throughout my pregnancy.

"Tom."

"Yeah?" He reply's looking up to look at me.

"I haven't went to the doctors yet."

He just stares at me blankly for a second.

"So you don't know if your actually pregnant?" He say eyes widening as those words with his lips. I just laugh.

"No I know I'm pregnant."

"But like how?" He says starting to panic. I burst out laughing at his panicked look.

" because of this." I say grabbing my T-shirt and pulling it up showing a small bump.

Tom's POV

I look at her stomach and my face immediately softened. At that moment I realized that there was nothing I wouldn't do for that baby or it's mother. I feel tear weld up in my eyes

"When did you start showing?" I asked trying to hold back emotion

"A few days ago." She says trying to read my reaction.

"And I missed it." I say sitting back down on the bed.

" isn't that what you wanted?"

"It was but not anymore."
