Trapped In Your Love

31

Feeling her head heavy and feeling like her whole body was being held down tonnes of weight, Ella tried opening her eyes. Blinking her eyes for a clearer vision, Ella wondered if she was in afterlife. Even in afterlife she was surrounded by the musky scent of Augustus, she was even in their bedroom, dark but dimly lit with the golden lights.

"Ella!"

She even heard him.

"Ella, baby," She even saw his blue eyes and his perfect face. Was this really afterlife ?

"You're fine." She heard him and then felt him place a kiss on her forehead.

This wasn't afterlife. It was all real. A few tears slipped down her cheek as she placed her right hand, which wasn't in his hold, on her belly.

"Our child?" She whispered. She was scared to death to hear anything bad happening to their child.

"Our child is just fine." Augustus said and he placed his hand above hers on her belly.

"I missed you." He said, she had been out for two days. He still wasn't over about how he felt when he thought she was gone. He was ready to burn the whole world up if something was to happen to her.

"Me too." Ella said before pulling him into a hug. She dug her fingers into his hair, slowly caressing it, as he buried his face in her neck.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Ella said as she felt his hold on her getting tighter.

"I would never let that happen." He said as he placed a kiss on her neck, he was still controlling his tears after what had happened.

"Augustus," Ella said taking his head out of her neck and holding it between her palms: "I love you."

"Not more than I do." Augustus said smiling.

"I love you so fucking much that it hurts sometimes. You and our child." Augustus said kissing her belly making Ella giggle.

"Our child is a fighter." Ella said smiling as she felt euphoric for she now knew both her and her child were fine as now they had Augustus with them.

"All King's are." Augustus said feeling proud. He kissed her knowing everything was under control now and he just had one thing left to do.

"Get that soup away from me." Ella said as she sealed her lips and shook her head seeing Augustus bring another spoonful of soup to her mouth.

"Ella, please. It's good for you and the baby." He said as he tried to feed her.

"Can't I have my juice?"

"You can have that disgusting thing after this." Augustus said as he thought how she could consume tomato juice with honey.

"That's not disgusting, this soup is!" Ella said somewhat offended that he just called one of her cravings disgusting.

"Ella last bite and we're done." Augustus said sighing. It had been two days since Ella had regained consciousness and he was way protective of her, again.

"I hate soup." Ella said as she gulped down the last bite, making Augustus chuckle at her childish behaviour.

"You still want your juice?" Augustus asked as he watched how Ella lay down ready to sleep.

"Maybe tomorrow." Ella said and smiled as she felt Augustus lay down besides her and pull her close to him. However, a gasp left her mouth as she felt Augustus lift her up and place him over him, as she straddled his torso.

"Still not close enough." Augustus said as he literally pressed her body to his, careful of her small bump.

"Augustus." Ella mumbled as her face was in his neck: "What about her?"
