Soyer's P.O.V
"Stop! Just stop it, you are not here, you are not real. None of this is real!" Hearing her screaming I rush into the office. There's no one here, who was she talking to?
"Miss Anderson!" She's trembling as I hold her in my arms.
"Take me home Soyer, right now." About to carry her she lightly puts her hand on my chest. "It's fine, I'll walk on my own." Gritting my teeth I nod reluctantly. Guiding her out of the building she tries her hardest to avoid people's eyes, it's the sigh she releases when we reach the car that kills me. Like she can finally breathe. When we get home I open her door and she walks past Mrs Kensington.
"I'd just like to sleep please." She says. I guess she's too tired to pretend today, I would be too if I was in her shoes.
"Soyer, what happened?" I sigh.
"I think-" I take a breath. "I think Miss Anderson is seeing figments of Mr Kensington, she keeps talking to someone but there's usually no one there, Prescott and I spoke about it and she's noticed it as well."
"Like she's having delusions?" I nod. "I have to call Dr Keller immediately, this isn't good." I absentmindedly grab Mrs Kensington's wrist.
"No." Prescott gives me a look. "I think that will only intensify the situation, this is her grieving process and no one has the right to tell her how to go about it." Shit, I'm holding her too tightly. Quickly letting go, I look down. "I'm sorry, I'm just a little protective of her." Maybe a little too protective. Mr Kensington hired us to protect her, to look out for and we'll do that, no matter what. Mrs Kensington smiles at me softly as if understanding where I'm coming from.
"Thank you, both of you." She says patting my arm. "She's going to need a lot of support from here on out and I am glad to see that she is surrounded by people who love her and care for her true well being." She's barely holding on as is so, I'll make sure that I'm the strongest string she's got. I won't snap, that is a promise!
Aurora's P.O.V
Hearing a light knock I wake up, sighing.
"Just when I was falling asleep again. Come in." Sitting up Cyan comes in, turning on the lights. "You're back." He sits down next to me.
"Yeah but not for long, I just came by to check on how you are doing." I smile.
"I don't know how I am. I'm a little numb, a little- I don't know. It's just a lot." He nods.
"I hear you, how's everything at the office going? Mikey tells me that you asked for background checks of the board members? What's that about?" I run a hand through my hair.
"They were a little reluctant in letting me take over, temporarily of course, but I just wanted to know who I'm dealing with and if I have to worry about anyone." He chuckles. "What?"
"You sound just like him." His laugh dies down and then complete silence.
"Cyan."
"Hmm?" He responds on par with my racing heart.
"Did you go?"
"Mm."
"Was it him?"
"I'm sorry, it was him Aurora." One last string, I was holding on to one last string and now-.
"Miss Kensington." Soyer barges into the room.
"Is everything okay?"
"You have a visitor." I sigh, amused. Since when does Soyer do Benson's job? Getting out of bed I slip on my shoes and head downstairs. "Spencer."
"Aurora." He says quickly wrapping his arms around me, so tightly, that I have to push myself back a little bit just so I can breathe. "I'm so sorry Aurora, I'm sorry this happened to you and I'm sorry you lost him." I want to push him off of me and tell him that I'm fine but, his words are so comforting that they're holding me in place. Who would have thought that one of the places I'd find comfort in, would be Spencer's arms.
"Thank you Spencer." I say lightly placing my hand on his arm, giving it a soft squeeze. Then he finally lets me go. "How's Kim? Is she here with you?" He's cheeks turn crimson just thinking about her and he scratches the back of his head. He really does love her.
"Oh ah no, she had an appointment with her gynaecologist. Something about vitamins for the baby, I don't know." He shrugs, my eyebrows furrow in confusion.
"Baby?" I look at him. "What do you mean baby?" A sad expression makes it's way onto his face.
"Aurora, Kim didn't tell you? She's pregnant."
"What?" How can she not tell me about something this huge? She's pregnant? "When did she know?"
"We found out while you were away, she's over a month along." I offer him a small smile.
"I'm so happy for you guys, really." I say hugging him. After Spencer leaves I get dinner started.
"Need any help?" Cyan asks standing by the doorway.
"I thought you weren't staying long."
"I'm not but, we haven't finished our conversation." He says washing his hands. "And I can't leave now, knowing that you'll be cooking by yourself." I chuckle.
"Don't worry I can handle it, I've done this many many times." I didn't want to admit it but I was glad when Cyan offered to cook with me. As the days go by I can't help but get lonely, is this how I'm going to feel for the rest of my life? Is this what being without Cy is going to feel like?
"Are you lonely?" I hear Cy's voice from a distance as I get into bed.
"Yes." I say sighing. Feeling the bed dip I close my eyes as his arms wrap around me. He feels real, so real that if someone told me he was just a figment of my imagination, I wouldn't believe them. But I know better.
"What's going on in that head of yours?"
"I'm just thinking."
"About?" So many things.
"How I'm going to raise this baby by myself." There, I finally said it. I know that being a single parent is more than possible but I didn't want that! I wanted to raise a child, with Cy. I wanted us to be a family and now that he's gone I have no clue on what to do.
"Aurora you're pregnant?"
"Yes." I say in a whisper falling into a deep sleep.
