Atlas ~ Encanto Fanfiction

62 ~ Atlas's POV

I shook my head and said, "I'm not going to eat it."

Julieta shook her head and said, "you are a stubborn girl. Will you at least let me look at your stomach? Make sure the stone didn't crack any of your ribs?"

I shook my head and about then the door to Antonio's room opened. Antonio walked in and my eyes widened and I found a worried, "Babe!" Fall out of my mouth,

Eliana stirred to that and muttered a groggy, "Daddy?"

I stroked her hair and Antonio came up to us. He took the soup form Julieta and thanks her befoer excusing her and turning to me saying, "eat this babe."

"No. I deserve this. I was cruel to those people and I was cruel to Camilo..." I reply

Antonio shook his head and kissed my forehead beofer putting his hand on my waist. I winced and pulled away and he says softly, "what is it?"

"Bruised ribs... that stone was really heavy..." I say like he wasn't the one that saved me

Antonio looked to make sure Eliana was asleep before he lifted up my shirt. There were red bruises that would eventually be blue and purple going along my sides and stomach. I breathed uneasily when he touched them and I let in a few sharp breaths befoer I whine, "please. Stop touching them."

He nodded and lowered my shirt before saying, "Atlas, those poeple tried to kill you... it deserves them right if you roughed them up a little... and your reaction to Camilo was just what happened earlier... and trust me he doesn't blame you. Now eat the soup."

I sighed and took it from him, taking a couple sips of it befoer Antonio nodded.

He watched me for a moment before I blushed and said, "what? What is it? "

"Your beautiful..." Antonio says softly, "but your fragile... and I love that about you."

Then he kissed me a bit to passionately for Child presence but I didn't care in the moment. When he pulled away I said softly, out of breath, "your daughter is in the room, mister,"

He chuckles and says, "she'll read our minds sooner or later... maybe we can skip the where do babies come from talk."

I smiled and shook my head befoer Antonio picked up Eliana to carry her back to her room. I looked at her befoer saying, "she really was scared for you, Antonio."

Antonio nodded and says, "she;s a good kid, just stubborn, like her mother."

He sent me a smile before he carried her away. I shook my head and finished the soup as he carried her out. Once he was gone I slipped out of the hammock and walked over to the mirror. Lifting up my shirt to watch the bruises fade. I took a deep breath and shook my head before looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was still damp from the fountain so I touched it before shaking my head and going down to the bathroom.

I went ot take a shower but as sis I'm as the water began to pour out of the shower I stepped back, getting flashbacks ot what just happened.My breath drw quick in fear befoer I turned off the shower and sat ono he toilet. I put my face in my hand and felt a few tears roll down my cheeks. I was scared of water.

I felt that little voice in the back of my mind creep back.

They need to be punished. treat them the way they treated you.

I blushed as I looked down to find my hand in my lap, near inches from the tear in skirt. I blushed and took my hand away from there. Rubbing my face and wiping my tears. I brushed my r in Ana attempt to straighten out my hair before it tangled however I just got frizzy so I sighed in frustration. I stepped out of the bathroom and suddenly I realized I was surrounded by water. My knees buckled and I just doubled over covering my face. Antonio came back and called for me before finding me. He immediately got a worried look and helped me ot feet before taking me into the bathroom as my feet didn't seem to work going forward.
