The Love That We Deserve

Fight or Flight

Disclaimer: This chapter is going to get very dark. It will discuss the topic of Sexual Assault and Rape. Please if this subject is a sore one for you I would suggest skipping it. It will dive into the events that took place to both the patient Abby as well as our very own Isabella. It was very hard for me to write this as it does hit close to home. If anyone has suffered though something similar, just know that I am proud of you for getting yourself this far, you are a gift to this world and worthy of everything good. I love all of you truly...

Season15x19

I stand near the lake taking in the morning mist just before the sun rises. Listening to the sweet sounds of the woodpeckers and owls. "Isabella?" I slowly turn to see Owen standing a few feet away from me.

"Hey baby." I tiredly smile at him and nod for him to come over. He smiles and does he slowly and carefully wraps his arm around me giving me a chance to deny the gesture. I decide to lean into him. "How did you sleep?" I snuggle into him letting his warmth consume me.

"Good. I did miss you." He murmurs as he rubs his nose into my hair. "I missed you so much."

I know I'm sorry."

"No. I told you that you don't have to be sorry for making yourself better." He turns me around in his arm. "I rather miss you now that you are getting better than have you suffer in silence."

"I know thank you. But you will not have to miss me any longer. I am ready to come back to you." I wrap my arms around his neck as he gives me a goofy smile. "So, how about we start right now because I miss you beyond belief." I squeal when he suddenly lifts me into his arms. "Someone's eggar!"

"You have no idea." He starts to run into the house then up the stairs and in a blink he throws me on to the bed. "Wait one second." I watch confused as he runs into our closet. I giggle when I also see Draco run after him. " I have been waiting to give you this when you were finally ready to come back to bed with me!" I hear his muffled voice. "OW! DRACO STOP BITING MY ANKLES!!" I snorted. "Jesus." I watch him walk out with bags and a limp.

"How bad?"

"I can feel the blood dripping from the hole in my ankle." He grumbles and lays the bags on to the bed. "But no worries here open." He jumps on the bed with a giddy smile. I laugh and start to open the bags in the biggest one is a huge emerald faux fur blanket that is weighted. Honestly one of the softest blankets I have ever felt.

"I love it baby thank you." I give him a peck on the lips.

"You're welcome flor. Ok the next one." I smile at his child like behavior and open the bag revealing a Dino stuffie, a weighted sleeping Winnie the Pooh stuffie, and a knitted snake stuffie.

"Owen, you are about to make me cry." I hug all the stuffies. I pull away from the snake with a tilt of my head.

"Yes." He smiles at me with a nod. "What you think it is, it is." I smile and take in a big sniff into the snake. "The lady that makes those stuffs it with some camomile and lavender flowers." He smiles and points to his dresser. "I have more packs in there so when this one wears out we can change it."

I was left speechless it's something so small and to any normal person it's probably nothing, but to me it was everything. Knowing that he went out of his way just to make sure that I never be without the comforting sent of the flowers. I couldn't hold back any longer and I begin to sob and I jump onto him. "Thank you, so much." I hear him chuckle and squeeze me tighter into his embrace.
