A tale of the titanic with Thomas Andrews

Hoof prints

A couple weeks later
"Darling have you been riding down the driveway lately? There's lots of hoof prints" I asked waiting for Thomas to respond, knowing that I in fact hadn't been riding in a long while, though I was longing too the doctors recommended against it.

"No my dear I suppose I thought that was you? Well I'm sure it's nothing overly worrisome we shall get to the bottom of it." Thomas walked in to the kitchen placing his cup down and cupping Adalyns growing stomach.
"I can't wait to meet this little one, I wish I could say let's saddle up the horses but I fear you'll have to wait a couple months more dear" Thomas kissed Adalyn slowly and softly deepening the kiss.
As They both pulled away gasping for air Thomas mentioned "he had an idea" and led Adalyn into the living room on to their carved gilt couch with velvet.
As Adalyn reached for the blanket folded neatly on the back of the couch Thomas lit the fire place, and before they knew it they laid among the crackling of the fire place. It was rather early in the morning but with Adalyns morning sickness and pregnancy she was more fatigued then usual leaving time for plenty of naps in between the day.

About two hours into their mid day nap they were startled awake with the shaking of their telephone.
Adalyn knew it could be no one from her store as she had closed it for some new wallpaper renovations, with that thought she lazily closed her eyes letting sleep take over her body, but little did she know Thomas was about to hear the voice that still tormented him from those nights long ago aboard the Titanic. Once he realized who was on the other side of the phone, terrible memories flashed through his mind as though he was reliving that very torturous moment.
Flashback
It was a dark and cold night aboard the Titanic as the ship glazed through the cold and treacherous northern Atlantic, the waves violently lapped against the sides of the steam engine as it powered on through the night. Shining his shoes as he made his first appearance to the first class sailing on the Titanics Maiden voyage, it was the first dinner to be had on the Titanic and there was a women Thomas had fallen in love with. Their first interaction was Thomas catching the Lovely maiden as she turned around tripping on her dress. The only thing he wished he could change was ismays comments in the background, a voice he wished to Vito completely.
Thomas has known ismays intentions with the blue eyed starlet but Thomas knew he'd be seated with her for dinner. Outbidding ismay and getting the seat next to her was the best thing he'd done that day other then catching her when she fell.
As she was walking down the grand stair case thomas stood behind her watching her gracefully walk part way down the stairs. Clearing his throat he got her attention and one thing led to another they were shortly linked in arms all the way to the dinner table. It was at the end of the night that Thomas never wanted to remember but couldn't seem to forget. As Ismay lost control of his anger and knocked the table down Adalyn was knocked down and fell in a pile of glass blood spilling from her abdomen.
End of flash back
"What do you want Ismay?! How dare you call me in my home and make demands of me! I'm furious with you and I have been ever since that night on the Titanic." His Irish accent rising waking a drowsy Adalyn
"It's simple, since you took everything from me and put me in a jail cell to rot while making a fool of me I want revenge. I see that little wifey of yours is in delicate condition"
"So you've been following her! If those are your tracks in my yard I'll have you for this Ismay! We might not be on the ship anymore but I am still a man of power, don't make me prove it! You leave my wife alone!"
"Im not finished but she will be!"
CLICK
Thomas jammed the phone down shaking with rage beyond belief of to what he just heard. By the sounds of it his old partner has been following his wife for quite sometime. Not knowing how to process what he just learnt he felt a soft and easy hand run up his bicep to his shoulder. Turing around he was met with his wife, to whom seemed all to calm especially from what Thomas had just been told.
"My dear what's upset you, I'm always here for you no matter what The world has to say"
Adalyn pulled him towards her, lifting his head slightly above her shoulder and wrapping him in an embrace he will never forget. How could she be so caring and comforting in a time like this? Thomas wondered.
"I'm fit with rage my dear, Terribly sorry for startling your from your sleep but it seems we have a problem."
"Let me guess Ismay? She spoke softly as she caressed his back in circular motions
"How did you"
"Know? How did I know? Well it seems as though he's been phoning my store and he even caught me one afternoon on the phone. I was very rattled and still am but I'm not going to give him the time of day, when I was with Harper he called the store."
"That was merely weeks ago Adalyn I wish you would have told me. He's threatened you, and I-I can't bare the thought of something happening to you, I can't lose you not again Adalyn." His hard brown eyes softening when they met her cold blue eyes.
"As long as we are together nothing can stop us, and you haven't lost me yet I love you Thomas" the couple kissed their embrace sacred and desperate for each other longing for more. The only thing that was on Thomas's mind was her. The word "yet" seemed to hang in the air for far too long, but then again her lips as soft as velvet could make anything seem long...
