Lucky Me

No Going Back

Lucy's POV

"Hey sis" Nat walked into my house without knocking, but I was always used to that. I was sitting in my kitchen going over Groot's schedule and trying to set up a plan to delegate responsibilities to some of the other staff members. I had decided to take some annual leave after this week to get my head right- because right now I was a mess and I needed some time.

I frowned as I looked up to see Natalie in the doorway to my kitchen. "what's up" I greeted her, before looking back down to my diary. "how ya feeling today?" she asked me as she walked in to pull out a stool at the counter beside me. "tired. Trying to evenly share out Groot's care plan to the guys is proving harder than I thought." I sighed. "maybe I should just shelve this time out plan." I said, throwing my pen down onto the paperwork in front of me. "I mean, being at work makes for a good distraction. Sitting at home having it all going around in my head just doesn't sound like fun to me" I said, glancing at my sister. She gave me a sympathetic look and slapped my shoulder. "I told ya to come stay with me and Stace, we'd keep you occupied" she grinned, and I leaned into her. "You will need looking after for a little while, why can't ya let someone care for you for a change?" she asked, but I laughed. "I'll be fine, I promise." I nodded. "besides, hearing my niece talking non stop about Spiderman and Tom 24-7 isn't what I need right now" I giggled. "It's not what I need either" Nat rolled her eyes while she smiled, "Maybe you'd be saving me a little bit" she laughed, making me smile.

"what time are you at the doctor's office tomorrow?" Nat asked from the living room. "Um, I think it's 1.30" I called back from the bathroom. "are you sure you don't want me to come with?" she offered and I smiled to myself. "It's okay, I'm used to doing stuff on my own" I said as I walked back out of the bathroom. "I know but Luce this isn't just a regular visit to the Vag clinic is it" she looked at me pointedly. I snorted and rolled my eyes, "calling it the Vag clinic isn't regular" I said, making her pull her tongue out at me. "you know what I mean sis. You need someone there to hold your hand." she told me, and she was right. But somehow I was okay with feeling like I was punishing myself. "I love you Nat, but please- I'll be fine" I told her. "If I need you, I can call you. I know you are there for me." I smiled at her. "What about Charlie, would you want Charlie there instead?" she questioned, but I huffed again. "Charlie is just as bad as you. But luckily she is working and can't get out of the shoot. She even tried to get me to take Sebastian with me- but I don't think that's right. Besides, they may think he's the father" I cringed with a laugh.

"I wouldn't mind that" Nat winked, making me laugh louder. "Charlie might though" I giggled. "She's a lucky bitch" Natalie laughed and I blushed. "He's such a lovely guy. They all are- well..." I paused to correct myself. "I thought they were" I huffed, my unusual lighter mood darkening to my normal miserable one. "hmm" Nat sighed, "now all I need to do is get rid of everything that reminds me of him" I said, looking down and smoothing a hand over my stomach.

Chris' POV

I sat in my seat staring out of the window. The plane was still on the tarmac at Logan Airport, the rain was lashing against the runway and it was making me a little uneasy. I was nervous as it was never mind the idea of flying in a storm. My leg bounced up and down as I sat there trying to steady my breathing. Then my cell phone rang.

"Hey" I answered, turning away from the stewards. If they caught me I'd be told off for talking on my cell. "What the hell is going on? They've told me you've pulled out of the interview tomorrow night?" It was Scarlett. I was due to be going on Howard Stern with her tomorrow night to talk all things Marvel and the end of Cap and Black Widow. But I had pulled out. "Yeah..." I said nervously. "why? What's happened?" She asked concerned. "Scar, I'm on my way to Arizona" I breathed out nervously. "you're gonna win her back?!" She gasped excitedly. "well I don't know if that's gonna happen" I said sheepishly. Most of my friends knew we had split up. Again. But no one knew why. Not because I was embarrassed- well, not embarrassed of her, just my behaviour. But I owed it to her to keep things to myself. I mean Jesus, if this got out, her life would be hellish. Not just because of the Trolls, but, well, because of everything. "I just need to work things out with her. I need to talk to her." I told her. "Okay..." Scarlett replied, "You know I'm here for ya" She added. "Good luck. And let me know when you have her back in your arms." I could hear the smile in her voice, "I want a double date with you two" she giggled before hanging up. More like a triple date...I thought, thinking she could bring Rose with her. But I had to actually try and talk to her first. Apologise. Talk things through, and maybe, just maybe she would be okay to let me be there for her and our...our baby.
