Forever Mine

Chapter 54

"You need to do what is best for you Avery. I will be happy for you regardless. I just guess I didn't think that is who you would pick. I just am stuck here... I don't know what to do myself. I want to do what is best for Ella. I just came believe you are going to be gone for a month and a half. I don't know what I am going to do without seeing you.."

I give Emma a smile as I pack my suit case. We were leaving tomorrow to get onto the boat. I'd be 7 1/2 months pregnant tomorrow. We both hoped they wouldn't come too early because we wanted a safe delivery but we were taking all the precautions we could.

"Come on Em it's time to head out." Ryan is leaning in the doorframe.

Things had gotten better between Emma and I. I was finally able to see her again. Of course we get to see each other but no sooner I'm packing to leave.

"I love you mama, I can't wait to those beautiful babies. You're going to do just great." She pulls me into a hug.

"I'll be happy with whatever you decide." She whispers into my ear.

When Emma finally began talking to me again I had told her everything that happened. I told her that I love Liam. But I love Chase. I miss my family and I miss my home. I wonder what life would be like living with Chase. I wonder what it would be like if Wren and Liliah were his. It was a nightmare trying to hide this secret from Liam. He noticed I had recoiled. I haven't been the same since what had happened between us. He tries to make me smile, make things better, but I can tell it's starting to get to him.

I watch as Emma walks out with Ryan. I stay in the bedroom continuing to pack everything. 

I feel a pair of arms slip around from behind and rub my stomach. Liam plants tiny kisses onto my neck. I let out a tiny moan. He had a way behind him.. God this was hard. I only had a month and a half left to decide if I wanted to stay. I didn't know if I was ready to choose. 

~A month and a half later plus a few days... ~

I let out a scream of pain.

"WE NEED TO GO NOW!" I scream out.

"The contractions are getting closer!" I cry. 

Beads of sweat were dripping from my forehead. I gripped my stomach. It was time. Wren. Liliah. They were coming. 

"OK DR. EVANS GET THE BAG!" Liam screams.

He sinks down onto the floor next to me and rubs up and down my back. 

"Shhh it's okay baby. I am right here. They are coming! Our babies are coming!" He grins from ear to ear.

I wanted to slap him in the face. He wasn't the one about to push two children out. I was in a raging amount of pain. I wanted to pass out. 

Not long after Dr. Evans is there with the bag. We were docked. A car was already on its way to get us to take us to the hospital. 

"WHERE IS THE GODDAMN CAR! I NEED AN EPIDURAL!" I scream. 

"Any minute love I promise." Liam squeezes my hand.

Liam helps me off the boat and onto the land so we can wait for the car. 

"I love you so much. I can't wait to meet them. I hate that I can't be there. You know I would if I could. It will all be okay. So soon we will be together again. Please come back to me."
