Chapter 71 ~ Too Strict

*Time skip to one week later*

Dixies Pov:

Today is the first day of christmas vacation. Its the 20th December, a Saturday. Its 6:38am an i just woke up due to bean kicking but i just stayed in bed, cuddling with Noah on his bed. Its been really nice since i told Noah the truth. We have been working on making us work and we have been so happy in the process of doing that. Noah however, has been having a tuff time coping with Haileys death. Everyday we would sit and talk about Hailey because i know thats what he needs to do to get better. We decided not to order the bed until christmas break is finished and to order the carseat and stroller in a more closer date. I shut my eyes and fell back asleep, in the arms of the person i love the most. It hasnt even been 10 minutes since i fell asleep and bean is kicking again so i instantly woke up. The kicks are getting stronger and some actually hurts at times. I tried getting out of Noahs grip but instead he woke up and pulled my head back on his chest

Noah: Where are you going so early morning?

Dixie: I cant sleep. Bean keeps kicking

Noah placed his hand on my stomach and looked at it

Noah: Good morning bean. You are being very naughty today, dont you think? Why are you not letting mommy sleep? Please let mommy sleep. She is tired and needs rest. I love you bean

He kissed his hand and placed it back on my stomach then used the same hand to lift my head up to him. We shared a sweet kiss then i placed back my head on his chest

Noah: Good morning beautiful

Dixie: Good morning handsome

Noah: Tomorrow we leave to go Los Angeles at 9am. I booked our flight a few nights ago

How could he do this? I dont want to go. I dont want to have to see my 'family' faces again. I dont want them to ruin my christmas break

Dixie: Im not going

Noah: Did i say you have a choice in this?

Dixie: N-

Both of us now sit up. I lean up against the headboard of the bed and Noah sits next to me, facing me

Noah: I want to speand christmas with my family but even more; i want to spend christmas with you. Can you fulfil my wish and let me spend christmas vacation with both my family and you?

Dixie: I cant see my so call family faces Noah. It would ruin christmas

Noah: Dix, you know that you dont mean that. You love Charli, Bryce and your mom and i know that for a fact. They are just believing your dad which is making them lash out on you. Im sure that seeing them wont ruin the vacation and if you ever feel like you are unable to see them when we are there, then tell me. We can go for a drive or a walk

Family means everything to Noah. He loves his family, and thats a really good thing, hence, he wants to spend christmas vacation there. I cant turn him down. I cant not fulfil his wish, no matter how much i dont wish to go

Dixie: I will go but only if i get to stay in your room

Noah: You know that you are always welcome in my room

Dixie: What will your family think about me being there?

Noah: They will absolutely love that you are there to spend the christmas with us

Dixie: I wish life was as we want so my family could also spend christmas with us. Soon we will all be a family when bean is born and its sad that my family is so difficult

Noah: Baby give them time to realise that Marc didnt change. Im sure that with time, his true colours will once again show

He is right. Marc cant keep lying to them forever. As long as everyone finds out his truth, i cant allow our baby anywhere near them
