Great Mistake

Chapter 18

Chris's POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to find Scarlette asleep on my chest.

Minutes later I found her kicking and trying to scream and it hurts because I'm the one she kicking, but then I realized that her hands were holding and protecting her belly, so I woke her up immediately, when she did she hugged me instantly and started crying.

"H-He w-wants to kill our baby." She said between sobs.

"He's not going to kill him you're safe with me, the both of you." I reassured her and she didn't let go of me.

"Shh, you're okay." I caressed her hair in an attempt to calm her.

"I'm just so tired of him always popping up in my mind every time I go to sleep." She cried even harder.

"He's in prison, Star, and I'm here, always remember that, I'll never leave your side or let anyone hurt you." I said and she looked up at me, her eyes were red, and she nodded.

"Thank you." She said softly and tightened her hold on me and so did I.

I woke up to the sound of giggles, I opened my eyes and found the gang standing in front of us with smiles on there faces.

"SHHHHHHH! She didn't sleep well." I said but it was too late she had already woken up, but she didn't look at them she looked at me and smiled.

"Morning Star." I said and she gave an even bigger smile.

"Morning love." She said and I looked at her in shock so did everyone.

"I'm going to the bathroom, I really need to pee!" She said as she ran to the bathroom.

As soon as she closed the door, everyone looked at me.

"I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" Steve screamed and started jumping up and down and then hit his head.

"OUCH!"

"Guys, chill, she wasn't feeling safe and then she had a nightmare and that's why we were hugging." I explained to them, but they kept staring at me.

"And what's that huge smile on your face for? Did you win the lottery?" Sophie said and grinned at me.

"No, I'm smiling at Steve's silliness." I lied.

"Hm, right." She said and laughed.

Scarlette got out of the bathroom and looked at us.

"Hello!" She simply said to everyone as she came over to me.

"Hi!" That was from everyone except from Steve who said-

"No hug?!"

"No." She said and looked at him unamused.

"What! You hug Chris but not me?!" He said looking like a 5 year old who's parents didn't take to the park.

"Yes. Plus Chris wasn't hugging me, he was hugging his baby." She pointed at her small belly, and I pointed at her as in 'Yup that's it.'.

"Chris!" Steve looked at me.

"Yeah?" I said as I took my eyes off Scarlette, and looked over at him.

"You never hug me!" He said jokingly and went to Lily who hugged him like he's a child.

"Do you want me to get you pregnant so I would hug you?" I said and grinned at him, and he looked at me with wide eyes and ran out of the room like he just saw a spider on the floor.

He immediately came back and we all started laughing.

"Oh, no, wait that's gross. I take that back." I cringed and everyone laughed even harder.

"How are you feeling?" Sophie came up to Scarlette and hugged her.

"Better." She gave her a weak smile.

"Do you want me to get you anything?" Lily asked.

"No thank you." She gave her a warm smile and walked up to Steve.

"Come here" He said as he pulled her in for a hug.

"You scared me so much, Scarl. Don't ever do that, ever again, please." He gave her a concerned look.

"I'm sorry." They chuckled trying to stop the sadness that's taking over the room.

Two hours later, the doctor told us that she can go back home.

We went home and so did everybody else.

We sat down in the living to talk.

"What did the doctor say?" She asked looking at her belly and rubbing it.

"He said that you need to stop stressing out and getting angry or we might loose the baby." I explained and her eyes started filling with tears.

"WHAT! NO I CAN'T LOOSE HIM!" She yelled in fear.

"We won't baby, we won't." I said and calmed her down.

"Chris."

"Yeah?"

"The night I stayed at Sophie's I was so dizzy, that's why I stayed over at her place. She didn't allow me to drive, she wanted to tell you or Steve, but I didn't want to worry you."

"It's okay. It's all over now." I said and pulled her into my arms.

"What's been stressing you out Scarlette, you can talk to me." I said as I rubbed her cheek with my thumb.

"It's just college has been stressing me out so much." She said but I could tell there was more.

"I know that isn't everything, you can tell me Star." I turned her face to me and she shook her head.

"Why not?"

"I can't because it's about you." She said and a tear fell on the couch.

What did she mean by that? I'm stressing her out?

"Tell me what it is so I could fix it. I don't want you to put your life in danger." She shook her head again.

"You can still tell me, or talk to anyone about it, when you feel ready." I reassured her.

"It's just complicated." She said and let go of the hug and rested her hands on her belly.

"Alright, but please if there's something that's bugging you just please tell me. I don't want to loose you or the baby either. You know that right?"

"Yeah." She said and I stood up to go to my room.

"WAIT!" She yelled as she grabbed me by my arm and sat me down again.

She looked into my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm falling for you , and I I know it's wrong and that you don't even like me and that's okay becaus-" I grabbed her chin and shut her up by a kiss, and when I pulled away she was smiling at me.

"Do you know how many times I've wanted to do that, and how many times I've wanted to tell you that I've fallen for you?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Yeah, me neither cause they're a lot." I said and she grabbed my face and kissed me.
