A Heart Caught In Crime

Chapter 17 - Planning Period

//A.N. I had a few readers that had requested to see more of Christian's side of the story, for those of you that asked this chapter and the next are for you, enjoy. x.//

*** Christian's P.O.V. ***

She kicked me out of the room. I sat in a chair that I had placed outside her room earlier in the day. I could hear her talking to someone but I couldn't make out who. I have to think of a way to fix this, find a way for her to love me again. The past few weeks I feel myself become increasingly obsessed with her, the way she walks, the way she talks, the way she dresses, the way she speaks with her southern accent, and now the mother of my child. I need her.

I sent a quick message to her best friend Realynn Cox, just to see if she had any idea of what I can do to make this up to her. I explain to her everything that's happened in recent days and ask for any help she could offer. I click the lock button on my phone and put it in my pocket. I make my way down the hall in search for a vending machine, I'll grab her a snack and something to drink she must be hungry with growing a baby and all.

Before she could reply I decided that she will be mine until the end of time. I will ask her to marry me. I grabbed a few things from the vending machines and give hem to the nurse to give to Tasha, I know she doesn't want to see me right now. I ask the nurse if she will give me a call when its time for Tasha to be discharged she nodded in agreement. 

I made my way to the elevators and then out to the parking garage. It took me a minute to remember where I had parked but I almost ran in a full sprint once I finally did remember. I jumped into the car and speed to highest rated jewelry sore in Manhattan, Lauren B. Jewelry. Once I got there I parked in from of the building and went inside. 

I started and found a few wedding sets that I would love to see on her finger as my wife but I feel like they would be to flashy and she isn't like that she is defiantly a 'Its the meaning behind it type of person'. I look around for what feels like ages but in reality is only about twenty minutes, then I spot it. The ring. Its almost half as beautiful as she is. I let the woman behind the counter know that I am ready to check out. 

"A man of your taste I would assume you would have went with a bigger more stylish ring for the lady of your life." she says in a very breathy tone. 

"My Natasha wouldn't like those rings. This is her ring." I say to her with out taking my eyes of the ring almost as if she didn't exist. 

She reached across the counter and placed a hand on mine, "I bet I could be more your style." a smile creeps onto her face.

"I don't like that you are inferring that you could be better to me that my Masterpiece. can we just package up the ring so I can pay and be on my way I have a lot to do today. Quite frankly you miss are wasting my time." I said to her without missing a beat she then goes on and on about how I'm a man of some good lovin, what ever that means. "Miss I don't want to hurt you but I will if you don't just let me pay for the damn ring." I pulled my gun out and took toe safety off. That seemed to change her mind a bit as she didn't speak for the rest of the transaction. "Thank you, have a nice day." I put my gun back into the holster in the inside of my pants and walked out with a smile. 

 I get back in the car and then my phone rings, the hospital. I answer "Hello?"

"Is this mister Louvis?"

"Yes. Is Tasha ready to go home?"

"Yes sir we are starting her discharge paper work right now."

"Alright thank you. I'm on my way."

I hung up the phone and shot Rea a text asking if she would call around to some different studios and see if we cant get a photo and a video person out to Toyko, that I would pay what ever price as well as the hotel room and room service for them. 

I start the car and drive back to the hospital and pull up in the emergency room entrance and exit. I step up of the car and walk around to the other side of the car and wait for her. They wheel her out in a wheel chair with her loudly protesting that she can walk just fine. I laugh a small bit hearing her before I can see her. I make a mental note to book plane tickets a month away and I will call her doctor later to make sure she can even fly while she is pregnant. 

The nurse wheeling her out and I get her into the passenger seat of my car, she still isn't looking at me. I take her to her favorite fast food place, she must be starving. on the way home she proceeds to eat all the fries in her box and there it is, that look of 'more please'. I give her my fries as well as half banana shake as I know its her favourite flavour, but she insisted on getting southern sweet tea as her drink. 

We pull into the garage at the house and she is very hesitant on getting out. "Its okay, Ill never leave you alone again My Queen." I walk to her side of the car walking to her side of the vehicle and opening the door for her. "Do you need help up the stairs?" I ask her

"I think I got it but thank you anyway." I stretch out my hand to help her out of the car. I grab the bag of food and both drinks that I know that she will drink the whole lot of. I walk alongside her to our bedroom, we decided that we would both be in my room she feels safer that way. I get her into the bed and place the drinks on the night stand, I hand her her laptop and i set the bag of food next to her on my side of the bed so its easy access.

"I know you don't want me around at the moment and that you still don't want to talk to me but hear me out. I didn't watch the video because it brought me pleasure, I didn't even watch the entirety of and of the videos that he sent, I only watched a bit of each video to see that you were still alive. You are the last person I wanna see dead Natasha and I love you so incredibly much, I am completely obsessed with you. I would gladly create a genocide for you and our little girl." I place a gentle hand below her chin and have her look at me, "I am in love with you, you are my Atë." The words roll off my tongue with ease but I can tell that something I had said didn't click well as her facial expression changed from soft and loving to worried and fearful.

"Please don't call me that Christian," she said with her voice cracking, "I don't want to talk about why, just please don't say that anymore." She burst into tears and wrapping her arms around me. 

"I wont my love, I'm sorry." I say in a whisper into her ear as she hugs me tighter. "Why don't I give Realynn a call and see if she will come up my treat? Doesn't that sound nice and in the mean time I can call my dad over and we can set up a nursery in the room across the hall." I pull away from her warm embrace.

"That sounds really nice, Thank you. I really appreciate it."

I step out of the room and give Realynn a call, she picked up on the first ring. I told her that I was booking a flight for her to come to my house and be with Natasha. I also explained that that i will have a vehicle waiting for her arrival and the keys will be with the security just to tell them my name and they will hand them over. I hang up then call and make my way down stairs to the office. On one monitor I load up the security camera live footage. The other I pull up everything we will need for the baby as well as some houses for sale in Denver, CO. 

I message Rea the address and the gate code for when she gets here. I then call my father and tell him that I needed help with getting everything taken down in the room I want to be the babies room and that I will also need help setting everything up as he has done this not once but twice before. 

Its been three days since we found out about he baby, Realynn and my soon to be wife are in our bedroom laughing and catching up. The nursery is empty but I panted the walls a pale pink and have purchased everything we will need. Just waiting its arrival. 

I make a phone call to the doctors office and ask if Tasha can fly out to Tokyo for a week in about a month. they explained the risks to me and I was honestly scared but with her being in the second trimester its much less of a risk as opposed to the first or third trimester, that's what the doctor said anyway. So I book the flight. I booked five seats in first class as well as the hotel rooms and dinner at a nice restaurant for a few days after we get there
