Seemed like no matter how much distance I put between myself and the car, it caught up with me. Now it had begun to rain very hard, and I wasn't sure if I was close to home or not. At this point I was more worried about the babies than myself, I needed to be alive for them. I can't be kidnapped, Vic needs to know what's going on. I haven't even been able to tell my family yet. Looking back I noticed the headlights were closer to me. Just as I gasped a scream took its place as I tripped over my own footing. I put my arms in front of me, that causing me to roll onto my back making sure I didn't fall onto my tummy. The car came to a screeching stop in front of me.

God, is this it? Maybe I have enough time to run?

Just as I was about to pick myself up I heard my name be called, the familiar voice stopping me in my tracks. "Are you okay?" I recognized that voice from anywhere.
"Vic?" I questioned squinting at the brightness of the headlights from what I now recognize as Vic's car. Drops of rain gathered on my eyelashes also obscuring some of my vision.
"Finally found you!" With a jacket held over his head, he got down next to me and wrapped his arms around me in a hug. A sigh of relief left his lips before he spoke. "I thought something terrible happened. Why were you running away??"
"I didn't know it was you! You crept up on me," I told him as he grabbed my hand and helped me up, and holding the jacket over my head instead.
"Sorry princess, I didn't know it appeared that way. I was unsure if it was you at first. Can we get into the car now? You're soaked and I'm getting there."

I hesitated as I thought for a moment. Sure, I was ready to get out of this weather, but I didn't want to arrive at home so quickly either. I still felt I needed more time to think, and that meant I'll have to face up to everything right now.
"I don't know... I don't want to go home yet." I admitted, my lower lip protruded with my eyebrows drawn together.
"Okay we don't have to go home yet. Can we at least get in the car, so you can explain why you've been gone in a dry location?" He reasoned his chin acutely dipping to his chest.
I nodded, and he opened the passenger door for me. I then climbed in and as soon as all my limbs were inside, Vic shut the door and ran around to his side.

"Where have you been?!" Worry was clear in his expression and the way his jaw was taut I could tell that he was frustrated as well. Vic reached in the back and grabbed the blanket he keeps in at all times. He then threw it over me, and closed the sides so that the blanket completely engulfed me.
"I um.." I mumbled trailing off not knowing how to word how I was feeling. I didn't know how to tell Vic I'd seen the baby- well babies without him. I gripped the blanket and pulled it tighter for comfort.
When I didn't answer him Vic spoke, "I don't know what happened, but you can't fall off the face of the earth like that, Kellin. You had everyone worried, Justin and I even more so because we have the knowledge that you're carrying our baby. I almost told your mom too just because I felt like I was the only one freaking out as much as I was." The more he ranted, the more I sank down in my seat. I hadn't been thinking about how everyone felt, I'd been so overwhelmed with my own emotions. That thought was enough to have me misty eyed, I turned my head away from Vic feeling embarrassed.
My words trembled as I tried to keep my tears at bay, but they crashed around my head like angry waves against rocks. "I-i'm sorry, I needed time to think." That's all I tell him, trying to keep my composure.
Vic must've noticed my sullen emotions since his words were softer as he spoke this time, "Kellin... What's going on? Did something happen at home?" I shook my head in response using a finger to wipe away a fallen tear. I felt Vic's warm hand grab my own, and he laced our fingers together.
"Did I do something?"
I shook my head again.
"Is the baby okay?" He asked and this time I nodded.
"The baby is fine... It's just.." There's more than one. How do I tell him? Maybe I should try to let the pictures speak for themselves instead.
