Our Love| Anthony Edwards

The AfterMath

Y/N Pov:

It's been 2 months since I had the miscarriage. I was still heartbroken because I really had accepted the fact I was gone have a baby. Maybe I'm not meant to have a baby right now. I don't know .

I'm currently laying on the couch in my thoughts while Anthony went to basketball practice. The season is just starting back up so it was understandable why he would have basketball related things riling back up on his schedule. As far as me and his relationship goes , I don't know , we haven't talked about anything. Not because we don't want to but because I'm not used to expressing how i felt. I'm used to dealing with pain alone. And I think that for that reason alone , I'm pushing him away.

I hear the door open and I look it's Ant.

"Hey baby" - I said sitting up before fully standing up to greet up.

"wassup" - he sat his bag down before hugging me and kissing my forehead.

"you alright" - He asked me

I can admit that Anthony has always been there for me. He's a very good boyfriend and I'm grateful for that. I just can't seem to understand why it is so hard for me to open up to him or express how I feel.

"yea" I look down as I mumbled. There was no reason to lie to Ant, he could always see through the lie anyways. I would have to speak to him about the whole thing anyways.

"Y/N" He cups my face as he gently pulls my face up to look at him. 

"You don't have to lie to me. Let's talk about it" He said as he goes to sit on the couch and pats the couch

I sit next to him as I sigh. It was either now or continue to push him away until he eventually gives up with trying. I fiddle with my fingers before looking at him.

"Tell me what's going on" He looks at me with sincerity in his eyes

"Ant, I don't know what's going on. Everything is just too much for me. I know it's been 2 months since the miscarriage, but I was supposed to be pregnant right now" I said as I lay my head on his shoulder 

He gently puts his hand on my thigh, softly caressing it as he listens to my words

"I know baby but It's like you suppose to let these emotions out. Don't sit here and bottle these emotions up, I'm here for you." He tells me 

"But Ant-" I was interrupted

"But nothing, I'm your partner. It takes 2 to have a baby so just like you dealing with the miscarriage I am too. We in this together. Don't ever think that its just you, we are a team. you got me?" He said 

"Yea Ant, I got you" I mumbled as I sigh 

"Come on let's get you out this slump" He said as he got up, holding his hand out waiting for me

"Didn't you just come from basketball practice? Like aren't you tired?" I had all these questions because we would normally chill after he comes home from basketball practice. 

"y/n just get yo ass up and come on" He chuckled as he pulls me off the couch

I can also admit that he is a lady's women. Anthony would do about anything to see a smile on my face and that's what I loved about him. Aside from him being find ofc.

Anthony's Pov: 

I was tired of seeing my girl in distress. Yea I understand that a miscarriage can be a lot, especially on a woman but I decided to take her to an arcade since that's one of her favorite date places.

I booked out the places for a few couple of hours because obviously I wanted to dedicate this time to her and her only. And plus I didn't wanna deal with the fans right now, they can get pretty wild. 

We make it to the arcade and her face just lit up. I love seeing her pretty smile, everything about her just makes me happy. I really wished that she didn't have a miscarriage but maybe this isn't our time to have a baby. Overall we both still pretty young, shes 22 and Im 23 soo yea. 

"now anthony..." She looks at me as she playfully hits me. 

"what" I asked her with a smile on my face

"why aint no cars here" She asked me 

"Because I rented the place for a few hours" I pecked her lips 

"Now come on we aint got time to waste" We both got out the car and head inside the arcade. 

We were greeted by the workers and I paid for our gamecards and some tickets to be put on there. And obviously she headed to the mini basketball hoops, she was just as much of a basketball head as me and I mess with that.  

"I bet I can beat you" She looks at me as she sticks her tongue out

"You want me to let you win?" I asked her as we both know I'm competitive, so it was really a sarcastic question.

She smacks her lips

"Whatever. come on I wanna play tho" She said as she scanned her game card and i scanned mines as we both played. 

We were both competitive so we went like 4 rounds, she won 2 and i won 2. Overall tho it was fun, i got to see her smile and laugh. 

After we played all the games we wanted, we both left and went home. I feel like we can start going back to our regular selves now. We both just gotta communicate on how we feel. But we cool now. 

The End.
