Dream

seven

six months later.

Luke-

Things were doing great. Our friends were elated. Our parents were proud. And we were ready.

"I like Carter for the name." She grins.

"But that could be a boy or girl name. Too confusing." I say. "Here, Lindsey if it's a girl and... Hudson if it's a boy."

"Gross! Hudson?" She shrieked.

"Hudson Hemmings. I like it."

"My son will be named that only over my dead body!" She laughed.

We didn't want to find out what the gender was until birth.

Both of our parents had flown in from Australia and had been living from place to place ever since we told them.

Things were looking good for the growing Hemmings family.

Marina-

"When's the wedding?"

"Once I can fit into a wedding dress again! Haven't thought much into it, otherwise."

"Where will it be?"

"We are thinking of having a private wedding on an island or someplace and have a reception where everyone is there."

"Any names? Luke had said Hudson."

"I swear to god, Luke! We haven't agreed on one yet."

I looked around the room at everyone at our baby shower. Our close families. His brothers. My friends. His friends. It felt good to know I am surrounded by people who love me for me and agrees with our actions.

Only our families would bring alcohol to this kind of event.

And Luke had been drunk.

When it was time for us to leave, Luke insisted on driving.

"Luke, you shouldn't."

"Give me the keys, damn it!"

I shuddered and handed him the keys. I trusted him enough.

We were quiet as we entered the car and for most of the ride home.

"You didn't have to yell at me." I mumbled.

"You wouldn't listen to me."

"Luke, I didn't mean it like that. I-"

"Enough, Marina."

"Why are you being such a douche right now?" I yelled. My hormones are running high and him shutting me out is not helping.

"I said enough!"

"No! Listen to me! I can not stand you right now! I need you to talk to me! Stop telling other people lies!"

"Marina! Shut up and let me think!"

"Don't you dare tell me to shut up! Stop driving so fast! You're gonna get in trouble!"

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"Luke! I swear to god! I-"

I gasped for air and then there was nothing.
