Second Chance

Chapter 17

"Matheo? What are you doing here? Get inside!" I opened the door more, and he rushed inside out of the rain. He was dripping wet, his jaw clenched. His knuckles were clenched at his sides. He was pissed. "Why the hell aren't you at the hospital?! You almost died!" I said, and he looked at me with disbelief in his eyes. "You take off and ignore all my calls. You expect me to just sit on my hands while you run away to California?!" He yelled.

I took a step back; he had never yelled at me before. "Matheo, I'm sorry. But without me there, your life is going to be a lot easier. I have been nothing but trouble since you moved into that apartment complex, if you think about it. Your life would be less complicated and less stressful if you never met me. I'm sorry if you don't understand that right now, but-" I was cut off by a quick motion of his lips crashing to mine. I moaned into his mouth. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me flush against him, soaking my clothes. I still need to tell him about our babies, but now was not the time. "You have been a constant light since I found you. I loved you in highschool, and I love you now. I never stopped loving you. If we rushed into this, I'm sorry we can slow down, but you don't get to just leave me."

His voice sounded broken. I figured he would move on eventually, not chase after me to California. I kissed the tip of his nose. "I'm sorry, but I figured you would be happier if I left." I mumbled, and he dug his face into my neck, "Never princess." I kissed the top of his head, "Matheo, I need to tell you something. I figured it would just add stress to your life, so I wasn't going to." He pulled back and looked at me. "You're pregnant, Irene told me." I bit my lip and nod trying to read his expression. "I went to get an ultrasound today and turns out we're having Twins."

His eyes nearly popped out of his skull and he just stood there and slowly lowered me to the ground. "I understand if you don't want the extra responsibility, you have Isabella and your company. I-" He put a finger to my lips to cut me off, he looked down at me and smiles, "I want all of you, that includes our babies." I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my lips. He wanted me, he really wanted me. After I tried to leave and after everything he has had to deal with since he met me, he still wants me. It felt like walking in unknown territory. I guess it was unknown territory for me. I kiss the top of his head. "Okay then." A loud "CRACK" sent a little shriek out of me.

He chuckled as he pulled me closer. "Let's get some sleep, princess." I nod as I lead him back to my room. We passed the make shift nursery when we walked by. "You already started on a nursery." I shrug, "yeah but I think I put together a crib wrong." He chuckled as he pulled me closer once we stepped into my room. "I'll look at it tomorrow." He closed the door and spun me around. He was still soaking wet. "I think I might have a shirt of yours and maybe some shorts. Let me check."

I started ruffling through boxes until I found him some clothes. He changed right in front of me, not caring that he was basicly a tease. I quickly went to the bathroom to see if I was still on my period. I smiled when I saw the dry pad I had put on that morning. I walked out to Matheo, gone. I quickly rush out. Was it really all a dream? "Matheo?!" I call out and a loud "BOOM" sent me shrieking. I felt a pair of arms land on my waist. "I'm right here. Just looking for the dryer."

I sighed as I turn around and hugged him. I quickly back off and looked at my shirt. It was damp. "Let me change really quick. I think the dryer is downstairs. I haven't spent much time down there." He nods as she kisses my head, "go get changed into something dry and I'll go find the dryer." I nod as he walked down the stairs and rounded the corner to go into the hallway where he disappeared from my sight. I took a deep breath as I walked into my room and stripped into my bra and panties. They were still dry. I grabbed a shirt and threw it on. It hung to my mid thighs.

I turned and wanted for Matheo to return. It felt like hours before I heard his footsteps and he appeared in the doorway. He looked me up and down and a smile tugged at his lips. "I'm only going to look this way a little while longer, especially with twins." I said, and he chuckled, "then I guess I should memorize your curves while I have the chance." He walked over and grabbed my waist before I could pull away. "Matheo, you just got out of the hospital. Take it easy." He chuckled as he pulled me against him, and I felt the bulge in his pants. "Then I guess you would do all the work."
