Kim's P.O.V
Putting her bowl of soup and bread on the table I sit next to her, watching her eat.
"I can feel your eyes on me." Resting my head on my hand I look past her.
"Sorry, how is it?"
"It's great, thank you." After what happened I don't know how to act around Aurora, I mean she's just been through something terrible and right now I don't know if I should comfort her or give her space.
"It's been a week Aurora." She sighs closing her eyes.
"Please don't."
"You can't avoid him or this subject forever honey, you have to go home at some point." Her eyes water and I try to hold her but she moves away from me.
"I'm fine." She says softly.
"No you're not." Breaking down she starts sobbing, cautiously holding her she lets me and I hug her gently. I sooth her back as I listen to her silent cries. After waking up in the hospital she basically asked Cy to leave then asked me to take her home. I brought her to Spencer and I's place and the whole time she's been here all she's been doing is crying and sleeping. She hardly eats and can't keep anything down for long, she has completely isolated herself from everybody.
"Madam, Mr Peers is asking for you." Our housekeeper informs me and I nod.
"Tell him I'm still busy Athena, I'll be there when I'm done."
"It's okay, go, I'm fine." Aurora finally speaks.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." Moving out of my arms she heads over to the couch and curls up in a blanket.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Offering her a small smile I head out. "Spencer." I say peeping into our bedroom .
"Hey." Joining him I sit next to him. "How is she?" I sigh.
"I don't know, at least she's eating now so I guess there's some form of improvement." Pulling me to him he hugs me and I melt into his touch. "You came back?" He smiles at me.
"I just came to get some of my things then I'm leaving again." After Spencer and I had that argument at the hospital I ended up not going home for two days because I was worried about Aurora, and when I came home with her, after she was discharged, Spencer decided to temporarily move out of the house.
"I miss you." I say sadly.
"I miss you more but right now she needs you more than I do." And I nod. After spending a little more time together, I pack his clothes for him and kiss him goodbye before he leaves. I can't help but cry by the door, this is hard and my shoulders are heavy from carrying everything that I'm carrying. Wiping my tears away I make my way back to Aurora and find her fast asleep, getting out my phone I call Cy and tell him to come over.
"How is she?" He asks desperately. He's been asking me the same questions for several days now, my goodness, but I can't blame him. This must be harder on him because of the guilt he's feeling.
"Cy you look exhausted, are you getting any sleep?" He doesn't say anything and I sigh. "She's fine, I put sleeping pills in her food so she's asleep right now. You can go see her." I watch him head upstairs, going into her room.
Cy's P.O.V
Getting into her room I lay next to her, holding her in my arms.
"I miss you Angel." I start off. "The house isn't the same without you, I'm not the same and I know you asked me to give you a bit of time but I'm sorry. I can't." She stirs in my arms, humming softly. I look down at her and smile. "I fucked up Aurora, I failed you and our late child, and because of me we're mourning today. Please forgive me my love." I feel her tears slide down my arm and when I look at her face she's awake. "Aurora-"
"Cy I'm so sorry." She starts sobbing. "I blamed you because I didn't want it to be my fault too that we lost our baby. It's because of me, it's because I allowed myself to be too stressed and too overwhelmed that we lost our baby." I turn her to me and hold her tighter while she cries. Seeing her this broken hurts, it hurts and I can't make it stop. "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay baby, it's okay." I say rubbing her back. Eventually she stops crying and when I see that she's asleep I get up but she pulls on my shirt.
"Stay." She says in her sleepy voice and I smile softly then lay next to her, cuddling closer to me she falls asleep again and I do too, for the first time in a week. Waking up I head to the house to freshen up, about to head back to Kim's house I get a call from Prince Sheikh and get pulled into a meeting.
"Hey." She says softly getting up and my arms snake around her waist.
"How are you feeling? How's your body." I help her sit down and sit on the arm of the couch.
"I'm okay, healing according to the doctor's predictions but-"
"Come home Aurora." She looks down, smiling.
"No." I clench my teeth.
"Aurora-"
"I can't go back to that house, not now not ever, that house is bad luck Cy. Every horrible thing that has ever shook our relationship took place in that house, so no, I'm not coming back." She finally meets my eyes.
"That's not true Aurora." I get up.
"Cyler." She says sternly, getting up and looking at me. This is the first time I've ever heard her say my full name, she has never. "I'm serious. Do you really think I can go back to that house after I basically lost my baby in it or even sleep in that bed again after what happened? Can you?" I look away. No. "Don't ask this of me, please because I won't do it." I meet her eyes.
"Fine but if I get our new house ready, will you come back then?" She offers me a genuine smile.
"Yes." I hold her face in my hands, I want to kiss her so bad but I don't know if she'll want that. As if reading my mind, she searches my eyes and stands on her toes kissing me softly. I feel her tear fall on my cheek, she's crying. Deepening the kiss I pull her body to mine and hold her as if I'm scared to let go.
"Mine." I whisper to her before she opens her eyes.
