~Time skip of like 5 years, I'm lazy and losing motivation BUT I wanna finish this book and this is always how I wanted it to end :)~
''Eva! Get your kid under control!'' Ella shouted through from the living room and I ran in to see what was happening and Olivia was climbing Ella's leg. ''Ella, she's just a toddler.'' I replied, picking Liv up and she giggled. Suddenly, the door burst open and I jumped. ''Sorry babe!'' Christian said as he rushed past, giving both me and Olivia a kiss on the head. ''Well, hello to you too.'' I replied and he smiled and went on his phone as he walked to the kitchen, a lot calmer now. I met Christian about a year or so after I left Marko. I didn't intend to get into another relationship but I was lonely, and Christian was so good to me (and he's also a lawyer so he helped me get Oscar behind bars.) A year later, out popped Olivia and then now I was pregnant with number 2. We didn't plan either, but they gave me something to keep going for yknow? ''Yes!'' Christian shouted and Olivia buried her head into the crook of my neck. ''What you shouting for?'' I said, making my way into the kitchen. ''I just scored some tickets for a concert!'' I smiled as I grabbed a drink for Liv. ''Whose concert?'' I asked and he showed me his phone and I could've been sick.
You're in!
Baby Lasagna
Malmö Arena
24th July 17:00
''Everything okay hun? I thought you liked Baby Lasagna?'' Yeah, maybe a bit too much. ''Yes, of course! Thank you!'' I said and Christian smiled. ''It is in a few days, but I figured that maybe Ella could look after Liv?'' I nodded and put Olivia down and she ran off to terrorise my sister again. "Yeah, that's good, everythings good!" I lied. I broke Marko's heart, I'd never forgave myself for letting him walk out of my life. Yeah okay, Christian wasn't the worst guy but he also wasn't Marko.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I bit my lip nervously, Christian made us come early so we could get front row and I was not enjoying life. My back was hurting, my feet were hurting and I really needed some air as I had started to feel sick. I was not the concert type at all and being ''Babe, everything okay?'' Christian asked and I nodded, lying again. Christian placed a gentle kiss on my head and the lights dimmed and music started playing and I took a deep breath and there he was. His hair was brown now, but he still looked the same as when he walked out of that door. ''Malmö!'' He shouted as he took his place and even though Christian was right next to me, I felt something I haven't in ages. Butterflies. It seems small right? But it was true. A part of me was so proud that he finally made it, but a part of me was sad that I didn't get to see him grow, that was my fault though I suppose. His songs were, good, great even but I couldn't shake the feeling that some of the 'newer' more sadder stuff was influenced by a certain event I caused. Christian wrapped his arm around my waist and I forced a smile. This all felt so wrong, being here with Christian felt wrong. Suddenly, halfway through a song, Chrisitan knelt down in front of me. No, please god don't let this be happening to me right now! He pulled out a ring and inside the box, it had 'Marry me?' and I froze, and so did Marko apparently because his singing stopped and I felt his eyes on me watching me like a hawk. I stuttered, and then ran out the nearest exit. Way to go Ev.
I heard Christian follow me so I hid behind a corner, I heard him sigh and walk away. I slid down so that I was sitting down and I brought my knees to my chest and sighed. ''Eva?'' I heard a familiar voice and I looked up and seen Marko standing over me. He then sat down next to me. ''What happened back there?'' I ran my hand through my hair. ''I-'' I paused, I didn't know what to say. ''I don't wanna marry him? What's difficult about that to understand?'' I asked and he shrugged. ''I don't know, you always used to talk about being married one day.'' I crossed my legs, revealing my slightly swollen bump and Marko's face dropped slightly. ''I guess, my life just isn't going how I planned it.'' I replied and he shook himself out of his trance. ''You're pregnant?'' He asked and I nodded. ''You shouldn't really ask a woman that but, yeah, I am.'' I replied and he smiled softly, but he looked, sad? ''Well, that's great right?'' I shrugged. ''It should be.'' I said and he tilted his head. ''I love my family, I do but-'' I paused again. ''It's not the family I've always wanted. You think I wanna be pregnant with Christian's kid? The man's a lawyer, he's like ever around and when he is all he can think about is work.'' I admitted and Marko nodded. ''I think I get it.'' Oh trust me Marko, you didn't get it at all. ''Do you love Christian?'' He asked and I scoffed. ''That's none of your business, you haven't been in my life for five years you don't get to ask that.'' I said, standing up.
''Hey, it's not my fault I wasn't in your life Eva. You told me to go so I respected that but you don't know how fucking hard it was for me just walk away whilst you were like that, it was so hard not to text you or call you or fuck it even come and see you.'' He stood up next to me. ''And whilst we're being honest, I think that you still love me.'' He admitted and I frowned. No, I didn't. Right? ''What the fuck?'' I said and started walking away but Marko gently grabbed my arm. ''You still love me, don't you? Why else would you not be happy having your family? Why else wouldn't you want to marry the father of your child?'' I kicked a stone across the pavement in an attempt to avoid answering. Fuck it, I did. I don't think I ever stopped, even after he left my life. Seeing him now, reminded me I did. I didn't even feel awkward or anything, I still do with Christian sometimes. ''What if I did?'' I replied and he pulled my closer. ''Well, do you?'' He asked and I almost melted. I hadn't felt this in a long time. ''Kiss me.'' He said and I didn't have to think twice before I smashed my lips onto his and it genuinely was like fireworks. ''Eva what the actual fuck?!'' I pulled away from Marko. How does the same shit happen to a girl twice? ''Is this the reason you've been acting weird all night?'' He asked, weirdly calm. I nodded. ''Me and Marko, we used to-'' I paused and sighed. ''We used to go out okay?'' I finally admitted and he rubbed his face with his hands. ''And you didn't tell me this because?'' Marko stepped away as Christian stepped foward. ''I didn't tell you because I didn't think I had to.'' I replied and he shook his head. ''If I hadn't of heard you, would you two have fucked?'' I frowned. ''Christian what the hell? Who even asks that?'' I said and he shrugged. ''Who even kisses their ex whilst pregnant with their current partner's kid?'' Yeah, okay he did have a point. ''Fine then, no we wouldn't have. Do you really think I'm that sick in the head?'' He shrugged again. Dick.
''With all due respect, you did just kiss your ex.'' I scoffed. ''Just fuck off man! I'm happy to talk about this but just stop and let me explain!'' He shook his head. ''You don't love me Ev.'' I nodded. ''No of course I do! I'm having your baby aren't I?'' He shrugged. ''I don't even know that anymore. I'll be gone when you get home, good luck Eva.'' He stormed off and I groaned in frustration. ''Why? Why do I always do this? What's wrong with me?!'' I said and Marko put his hands in my shoulders. ''Calm down, this was my fault. I just wanted to know if you felt like I do.'' I looked him in the eye, he had a soft, comforting look on his face and he pulled me into a hug. ''I still love you Eva, I'll never not love you. I've missed you so much.'' Cute words and pregnancy hormones are not fun. ''This feels too good to be true Marko, it's like something out of a film or something.'' I said and he chuckled softly. ''It's real, very real.'' He said, placing a soft kiss on my head. This is it. My life was complete, I may have lost Christian, but I had Marko.
Even after everything, me and Christian agreed to be civil and I got custody of Oliva, who Marko was absolutely great with. Me and Marko actually got married not long before my son, Luka, was born. With no Oscar, no Eric, there was nothing to go wrong this time and my life was finally good and complete.
