Elenas Pov
We arrive at my parents' house, and Pedri takes my hand as I get out. "You ready?..." He asked, and I nodded. I kissed his lips softly, and he smiled.
We head to the door, and we knock. My mum opens the door, and she pulls me into a hug. "Oh, Elena, honey...." I hug her back, and tears form in my eyes. Pedri watches us. I pull away and wipe my tears. "Hola mama." I said, and she hugged Pedri. I look at them, and I smile. He hugged her back and then pulled away. "Come in, come in." My mum said, and we walked inside, and Pedri squeezed my hand. I smile at him. "I'm okay...." I whisper, and he smiles, kissing the side of my head.
I walk into the living room, and I go and hug my dad. "Hi Papa," I said, and he got him. "Elena!" He hugged me back, and I smiled. Pedri hugged him too, and then I sat down on the couch. "How are you both feeling? Silly question, I know...." My mom asked, and I shook my head. "It's fine mama I feeling a bit better today...." I said, and she smiled. "Yeah, she's finally left the house, so I'm proud of her." Pedri said, squeezing my hand, and I smiled at him. "And you Pedri?" She asks him, and he looks at her. "Getting there too...." I said, and she nodded. "Sira and Ferran should be here soon..." She said, and I nodded. "Yeah, I was speaking to them...." I smile, and she looks at me. "You'll be okay seeing her?" She asks, and I nod. "Yeahhhh, I'll be fine it is my little niece in there...." I smile, and she smiles back.
We are just sitting around talking for a bit when Sira and Ferran walk in. I stand up, and she runs over and hugs me. I hug her back, and I smile. "I missed you so much!!" She said, and I smiled. "I missed you too...." I said, and I go and hug Ferran. "Hey, little sis..." He hugs me so tight, and I giggle. I go and sit next to Sira. "You've gotten so big." I smile and put my hand on her stomach. She looks at me and smiles. "Yeahhhh....how are you?" She asks, and I shrug. "Just taking it day by day...." I said. I feel the baby kick, and I take my hand away and look away. She looked at me sympathetically, and I just smiled. "It's okay...." I said to her, and she nodded.
Pedri sat on the other side of me after talking to Ferran, and I lay my head on his shoulder. "You okay, princess?" He asks, and I nod, and he kisses my head and puts his arm around me. I smile and cuddle into him.
We are just sitting there talking, and when they start talking about Ferrans baby, I zone out. I thought I would be okay seeing her pregnant.....but it's still so hard....and feeling her kick. It's just hard.
Tears roll down my cheeks, and Pedri looks down at me and cups my cheeks. He wipes my tears and pecks my lips. "You wanna get fresh air?" He asks, and I nod. He stood up and helped me up.
We walk outside and sit on the bench. He sits next to me, and I lay my head on his lap. He strokes my hair. "You're not okay with it, are you...." He asked, and I shook my head. "Of course I'm happy for them. It's my little niece in there.....it was just hard. I felt her kick, and it just reminds me how I'm never gonna feel my baby kick again....." I start to cry, and he bends down and kisses my head. "I know, amor...." He strokes my head while I cry into his stomach.
He sighs as he hears the door open, and he sees my mum. She comes over and takes me, and Pedri kisses my lips and heads back inside. I cry into my mums chest, and she rubs my head. "Shhh baby girl.....its okay...." She said, and I sob. "It's never gonna be okay, Mama.....I'm never gonna get him back. And how am I meant to look at my niece without thinking about how she's meant to have a cousin growing up with her...." I sit up and wipe my tears. "I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to deal with this.....especially being around here.....in Spain." I said, and she looked at me. "Elena, what are you saying?" She asks me, and I sigh. "I'm a burden for him......he has to deal with me just not leaving the house and crying all the time. He hasn't been going to training because he has to look after me.....and every time I see something baby related, I burst out crying, and I just can't take it anymore....." I said, and she sighed and hugged me. "That boy cares about you so much, and you know he'll do anything for you.....so if you need to go away for a while with him, then do..." I looked at her. "Not with him, Mama.....without him....I can't be with him anymore......everytime I look at him all I can think about is the life we would have had......he reminds me of the baby and its just best if I leave him behind."
"Elena....." She said, and I got up. "It's the only way I can move on.....I'm moving back to England...." I said and walked away......
