TW: Mention of miscarriage, ED, SH
Exactly one month ago, Winter and Autumn had lost their child. Both were heartbroken, but it hit Autumn the most, all she could do was blame herself. All she thought about was how this was all her fault, to the point where she did nothing, nothing expect hurt herself. She never intended on hurting or even letting Winter found out, but he came home early one day, and looked for Autumn, only to find her with blood rolling down her arms. It had been 3 weeks since she last cut herself, and only Reece knew, being Autumn's older brother. But tonight, was one of those nights where Autumn felt it again, the guilt overtook her. She wondered off, since Winter was working late again. Winter came home early, seeing the signs of Autumn's guilt. She stopped eating, she was getting more lazy and more tired, she started distancing herself and more. He walked around, being as quiet as possible. He went to find her, looking in every room and every hiding place. He walked into the bathroom and found Autumn there, crying, while blood ran down her arm, holding her stomach. Winter walked over, knocking on the wall, trying not to startle her. "My love?" Autumn's head shot towards him, her natural blue eyes all puffy and red, tears still streaming down her face. But Winter saw more, something he couldn't quite put his finger on until he moved closer. Autumn quickly pointed the knife towards him, and Winter's eyes widened as he stepped back. "Winter... leave." Winter left at command, only to grab his phone and dial the only person who could calm her down. "Hey, I need you, like, right now." A few minutes later a car pulled up and someone came bursting through the door. "Where is she!? Where's Autumn!?" Reece looked panicked, and Winter quickly guided him to the bathroom. Reece looked horrified at the sight of his younger sister, blood all over her. He was meant to protect her, and he failed. Reece walked up to Autumn, and she pointed to knife towards him, but he didn't back off, instead, in one quick swift move, he was able to disarm her, throwing to knife to the other side of the room. Autumn looked shocked, but also not surprised at the same time. Winter quickly grabbed the knife and took it to the kitchen, while Reece helped heal Autumn. Winter cleaned the knife, he'd never seen Autumn that bad, and he'd only just realized when he first saw Autumn, she still blamed herself. Winter was deep in thought when he heard a crash in the bathroom. Winter dropped the knife and ran, only to see Autumn pinned to the wall by her brother. "Reece?! What happened!?" Winter ran in horrified. He knew the Knights were violent, but he'd never seen them hurt each other. Reece was breathing heavy, much like his sister. "Uh, Autumn went crazy again, why is she acting like this?" Reece looked towards Winter. "Um, my love... my love and I... exactly one month ago... we lost our little one... she still blames herself." Autumn shot Winter a glare, before trying to lunge at him, only to be stopped by her brother, wrapping his arms around her. Winter flinched, causing Autumn to calm down, realizing the damage she's doing. "Calm down sis, it's okay, it's not your fault." Reece carefully let go of her, keeping close in case she attacked again. Autumn fell to the ground, and Winter quickly went to her side. "Thank you, Reece, for everything." Reece nodded and left, sensing they needed to be left alone. Winter helped Autumn to bed, quickly getting in himself, and Autumn rested herself next to him, as Winter held her close.
Months had gone by, and the couple was feeling better. Autumn hadn't hurt herself, and she was back to her normal self. It was around Christmas time, when the staff started to decorate the nursey, Autumn felt sick, constantly throwing up, and it didn't go unnoticed by her husband. One night, when they came back from work, Autumn had thrown up again, when Winter walked in. "My love?" Autumn turned her head, seeing Winter holding something. "My sweet... it's not that." Autumn sat up, cleaning her mouth. "Just... try?" Winter held out the pregnancy tests in his hand, hoping Autumn would at least try. Autumn grabbed the 3 tests and Winter walked out. Autumn opened the door after a while and Winter set the timer. The timer buzzed and both Autumn and Winter looked at each other, before Autumn quickly broke the gaze looking down. Winter followed her gaze. "Oh my god." Autumn quickly covered her mouth and walked out, while Winter smiled and followed her. "My love!" He was so excited; he quickly found her and hugged her. Autum shot a smile, before both knowing what to do. They drove to Reece's house and knocked on the door. Marjorie answered the door and smiled. "Hello, my love's, can I do something for you?" Marjorie moved out of the way, so Winter and Autumn could enter. They walked in and asked Marjorie to sit with Reece. Reece saw the two walk in, and saw Marjorie sit next to him. "Did something happen?" Reece sat up, immediately concerned. Winter smiled and looked at Autumn. "My love?" Autumn smiled and pulled the test out of her pocket. Marjorie's eyes widened as she squealed, and Reece looked at Autumn, mouth open and eyes wide. "I'm pregnant." Autumn calmly announced, smiling big. "How far along?" Reece was barely able to spit out those words. "I'm 4 weeks." Autumn looked over to Winter, who shared the same excitement as her friend, since Marjorie was still smiling big and squealing, but at this moment, Autumn didn't care.
This was by far, a Christmas miracle if anyone had seen one.
