Only Love Can Hurt Like This

Ava's pov

3 weeks had passed, I was still coming to terms that I was pregnant with my abusers baby but one thing was for sure, I wasn't telling Jake about the baby.

I know that he's the father and has rights but there's no way i'm going to put this little bundle through anything like what he did to me.

I had booked a private scan to see the baby earlier than the 12 week scan. Sebastian has been nothing but supportive of my situation and is not only taking me to the appointment but he's also going to come in and see the baby.

We arrive at the early baby center heading in and signing in before we take a seat. Sebastian sits next to me in the waiting room, I notice the receptionist keeps glancing over every so ofter she most likely recognises Sebastian. 5 minutes later we were called into the room, I climbed up on the bed pulling my top up and tucking it under my bra whilst the doctor puts some cold jelly on my tummy and rubs it around. We look at the monitor as the ultrasound appears, Sebastian takes my hand I look over to him and his eyes are glued to the screen.

"There they are, little ones camera shy. Surprising considering who their daddy is" the doctor nods towards sebastian and gives a small laugh.

Myself and Sebastian look at each other and laugh not bothering to correct the doctor, we both stare at the screen making out the little body inside me. Sebastian rubs my knuckles, I glance over as he's wiping a tear away from his eyes. My heart could burst seeing him like this, i've always know Sebastian wanted to become a dad someday and my baby is the closest thing he's going to have until he meets someone.

I can't help but wish this baby was his.

After the ultrasound we got a couple of pictures and headed to a nearby café for lunch. During lunch Sebastian gets a call which he excuses himself to go take. A couple of minutes later he comes back smiling from ear to ear.

"Someone looks happy" I laugh.

"Yeah, i've been offered another job out in L.A, they're organising flights for me and yoi to fly out tomorrow! He grins like a kid in a sweeteshop

"Seb I can't i've got work" I sigh.

"Come on Ava, call in sick or even hand in your notice and we can go for a couple months! I've got a house that Marvel put me up in when I go to L.A we can stay there, i'll look after you and the baby". Sebastian places his hand on my tummy as I look up at him and nod, I have enough savings to do me for a couple of years because Sebastian let's me stay with him rent free.

We head home before grabbing our suitcases and filling them to the brim with our essentials and our summer clothes.

A change of scenery will so the world a good.
