-Rachel pov-

I surprisingly wake up before Grey. Kissing his forehead i gently get out and go downstairs. I move slowly thanks to the triplets, as i turn into the kitchen i see Janet cooking. "Janet?" I ask quietly. "And Imani." I hear from the pantry. "What are you girls doing up?" I ask and they look at me. "Grey is always taking care of us. So we wanted to surprise him as a thank you." Janet says and i smile. "You two are the best." I say and hug them. "Now come on and help us!" Imani says and i begin to help them cook. We cook Grey's favorite breakfast, French Toast and Sausage. "Rachel?" I hear Grey ask tiredly as he enters the kitchen.

"Goodmorning Babe!" I say happily as i lay the plates down. "Goodmorning Love. Why are you up and about?" He asks and my smile slightly faulters. When i got pregnant Grey has been extremely protective. He was before the girls, so i don't know why it's irritating now. "I know." I say a little harsh but it seems he brushes it off. "Thank you girls for the breakfast. It smells divine." He says and waits for us to sit. As we begin to eat Grey gives me a loving smile. "Yes?" I ask and his smiles goes down a little. "Nothing." He says softly and eats only starring at his plate.

"So Rae. Would you like to go to a movie; or to the park?" He asks. "I'm tired, and i have a stream to do with Corpse and Sykkuno." I say to him and he nods. "Oh...maybe later." He says smiling and i wince slightly. Before anyone can say anything he gets up and walks upstairs. "What the hell Rae?!" Imani asks and i look at her. "I-I don't know! I've just been irritated lately!" I say. "So you just take it out on him?!" She asks. "I'm not trying to! He's treating me like a princess, but for some reason it's getting on my nerves!" I tell her. (It's the pregnancy.) "I don't like what i used to like, any weird requests he does. It's just so aggravating at how easily he adjusts! Makes me feel like a freak!" I tell how i feel. "Have you talked to him?" She asks and i shake my head. "I've been meaning to bring it up. But every time i try to, i get irritated." I tell her and we hear the door shut. Looking out we see Grey get in the Jeep. "No, no, no!" I say and move as fast as i can. But when i get outside he's already pulled off.

Immediately i pull out my phone and call him. "Come on pick up!" I say to myself. "Yo! You've reached Grey! If I'm not picking up I'm probably with my family, or helping my wife with her stream! I'll try my best to call you back!" His voice-mail says. "Grey Baby I'm so sorry! Please come back!" I beg his voice-mail and save it. I call him almost non-stop but the same results. That is until Janet walks down with his phone. All i could do was just stare at it in disbelief. "I hurt him that bad?" I ask more to myself. "You were getting pretty bad Rae. Almost to the point I'd call it abuse." Janet says.

(Don't worry! Everything will go back to normal! There has to be some conflict in the relationship. Yes Rae looks like the bad guy, but that is because she is pregnant for the first time.)

-Grey pov during Rae and Imani's talk-

I walk upstairs to the room and sit on the bed. I look into my hands as tears fall. I don't know what i do and or did to make her mad. Thinking back to my ex and how she treated me i sigh. "At least she doesn't hit me." I say to myself. "You alright?" I hear Janet ask and i look at her. "I guess. Maybe I've been a little too much for her. I just know that she must be going through hell. Helped a couple of co-workers while their wives were pregnant. So i should have gotten used to this." I tell her and she sits next to me. "It's different with Rae. Because she's your Fiancée, and she knows how to get to you." She says and i sigh sadly. "I know. Thought i could just power through it, but it's hard Janet." I tell her and she smiles. "You're a great guy Grey. Why don't you go out tonight? Imani and i will deal with Rachell." She says and i nod before getting up. "Leave the phone after hitting up Jeff." She says and i do as she says.

-Rachell pov-

I pace back and forth biting my nails. "I need to go after him!" I announce and go to leave. "Do you know where he went?" Janet asks and i shake my head. "What if he just needs some alone time?" Imani asks, and all i could picture was him killing himself. I quickly shake my head to get rid of those thoughts. "He can't be left alone!" I say and grab my keys. "Rae!" They both call to me but i was out the door. I get into my Crosstrek and quickly leave to find him.

I drive all throughout our favorite spots, and find nothing. I call everyone to see if they heard from him, and no one has. "Don't worry Baby. My son isn't going to give up that easily." His mother told me. I was running out of options, and i knew when Grey gets this down, he listens to country. So i give his favorite radio station a call. "Hello you've reached the Bobby Bones Show!" I hear Bobby say. "Goodmorning Bobby this is Rachell Hofstetter. I am currently pregnant with my first kids." I begin and they cheer excitedly. "Thank you. My soon to be Husband is perfect in so many ways, but I've taken out the stress, and my mood swings on him. He left the house without a goodbye, didn't tell me where he was going, never even left a clue." I say tearing up so i pull over. "Wow. Well I'm not going to defend him for leaving without saying anything. But sometimes if the situation seems hopeless, maybe he needed some time to think." Bobby says and i nod even though he can't see it. "Would you like to say something to him?" He asks. "Yes please." I say and take a deep breath.

"Grey. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. We have been through so much...you have been through so much. Instead of being the perfect Wife-to-be, i hurt you. I could never find a guy like you again. Please come home so i can apologize for being an idiot." I say as tears fall down my cheeks. "Very strong words Mrs.Hofstetter. Well Grey! Are you going to run away, or be a man and comfort her?" He asks. "What song would you like to hear?" He asks me. "The Good Ones by Gabby Barrett." I say. "You got it. Here's Gabby Barrett, The Good Ones." He says and the song begins.

I sigh and decide to cut my losses returning home. I can't help but cry the entire drive. The thought of Grey killing himself repeating in my mind. As i pull into the driveway i see his Jeep is back. I smile as my heart beats faster, getting out i begin to slowly move towards the house. Upon entering i see Grey face down on the table, a beer bottle next to him. "You okay?" I ask softly and he chuckles. "Just peachy." He says and i can tell he's a little drunk. "How much did you drink?" I ask and gently move the bottle away. "A lot i guess." He says. "All it did was make it hurt more. Numb the pain my ass." He mutters and i look away. "I'm sorry." I say and i hear him chuckle. "No. I'm sorry Rae. I never should have reacted that way." He says sitting up. I can see tear stains and his eyes are puffy and red. "Oh Babe. You should never cry because of me." I say tearing up again. I can see all the pain I've caused him.

"Rae." He says and i just stare into his eyes. He intertwines our fingers and even smiles. "Let's pretend this never happened." He says and i shake my head. "I don't want to forget. I want to remember this day, so i never drive you away again. Cause i was so afraid i pushed you over the edge." I sob out and he gets up and hugs me. "I'm never leaving you Rae." He says and i hug him tighter. "Let's go to bed. We had a very stressful day, and it isn't healthy for the girls." He says. "Sorry. I know I'm a little overwhelming." He says and i smile up at him. "I love that about you. Don't ever change." I say and he nods. I help him upstairs and we get into bed, we still have our clothes on, but we have each other again. "I love you." I say. "I love you too." He says and we cuddle before falling asleep.

-sorry for the long wait. Been dealing with getting my house ready to sell, and looking for a new one. This is still kinda rushed and I'm sorry. I don't like publishing things i don't feel are ready. But you all deserve a chapter. Again i made this chapter to show the relationship won't always be Sunshine and Rainbows. Rachell seems like the bad guy cause she's tired from the pregnancy. But she won't be carrying for long. Wonder how our main characters will take on being parents. Till next time everyone. Stay safe and don't be afraid to comment. I will answer as fast as i can.-
