Will You Love Me?

Chapter 37

The video got deleted in under and hour, which wasn't any surprise, as it clearly violated the websites standards. That didn't stop it from getting over 500,000 views. Didn't stop it from being a trending topic on twitter. And it didn't stop people from downloading it and re-uploading it to different websites. 

The entire story was on the news that night. It was on every single news source you could think of, all over the world. The twitter account you haven't used since you and Ben started going out was flooding with messages. Very few of them were negative towards you, but there were the few that told Ben to "keep it in his pants" and it was "no wonder" you kept getting pregnant. 

The majority of them had nothing but support for the two of you and complete and utter disgust for Mitzy. There wasn't anything you could really do about her, except file a huge lawsuit, which Ben was working on with his lawyer at the dining room table, while you were watching the kids. 

Martin and Amanda came over to see how you were doing and ended up staying for a little while. Wanda and Tim came over for moral support, tonight's dinner long forgotten. Martin actually ended up going out and getting food for all of you at a Chinese place. 

Ben eventually called you over to look over the statement he had written out to get your approval. 

My wife and I will not apologize for the situation we were caught in, but we would like to apologize for anyone this video might have offended. We did not know we were being filmed and it has completely mortified us in the least. Please respect our family's privacy at this time and we would also like to thank our fans for their wonderful support. 

Good for you. This man has a way with words, so you trusted him with it. When he released the statement about Emma, that whole situation died down pretty quickly. You didn't think this would go away any time soon, though. You've barely scratched the surface. 

Mitzy was being held at the police station until her parents could come bail her out. They were vacationing in Bali, so as you can imagine, she's very rich. Apparently, she thought she would get away with it because her father is a lawyer and is an expert in winning these kinds of cases. 

Unfortunately for Mitzy, she was facing a lot of heavy charges. She could actually go to jail for up to three years. There was evidence it was her; there were four witnesses present when she uploaded the video, plus they traced the source back to her phone. 

She would have gotten away with it to, if she weren't a dumb bitch.

By the time Martin came back with the food, Ben was finished with his lawyer. The kids came in and ate with all of you and, while they were happy that their grandparents and aunt Amanda and uncle Martin were there, you could actually feel the tension at the table. 

There wasn't any tension between you and Martin or Wanda or Tim, but you and Ben. You haven't talked about this at all because you've both been so busy trying to calm all of this down. 

Everyone spoke amongst themselves, except for you and Ben. You were both quiet. Wanda was getting tired of the silence between you both and finally said, "Will you two speak up? I would think you would want to talk about how the show is going."

Ben sighed and said, "Not now, mum." Wanda wasn't going to let up that easy though. "Look, what happened to today was embarrassing for you both, I know, but it won't help bottling it up. It will all go away soon, I promise." 

Ben shook his head, then threw down his fork, making you jump. "What happens when my kids grow up and learn about this?" He angrily asked. "That won't go away, mother!" The kids stopped and stared at Ben with a puzzled expression. They actually almost looked frightened. They hated it when he got angry. 

You got up and went over to them, kissing their heads and said, "Daddy's just tired. You know how you get cranky when you're tired." Ben closed his eyes and put his hand on his face. Emma, who was sitting on the other side of him said, "Go sleep, daddy. Feel better." 

He took his hand away from his face and looked at his daughter. He ran his hand through her hair and said, "I will in a little bit, princess." It amazed you how your kids could calm him down so easily. Of course, that will only last a few more years. 

You went over to Ben and took his hand, pulling him up from the chair. "We'll be back in a minute," you told everyone. He followed you up the stairs and into the bedroom. As soon as you closed the door, Ben started begging, "Please, I don't want to fight. This wasn't either of our faults and, though I'm sorry it happened, I don't want it to change anything between us--." 

You cut him off with a kiss, which he moaned into. You pulled back and said, "We won't fight. I don't want that. I'm not mad at you, Ben, if that's what you think." He let out a sigh of relief and pulled you in for a hug. 

"I don't want to loose you," he said in your neck. You rubbed his back and told him, "You won't. I'm right here. I always will be." That made him hug you tighter. 

"It's just..." he sniffled and brought his head up to look at you, "...with the last time with Em and how we've been acting towards each other these past few weeks, I was afraid you might leave. I don't want you to leave me, it's my absolute worst nightmare." 

"Ben," you cooed, while running your fingers through his hair, "I won't leave you. We fight, so what? That's what husbands and wives do. We work on our differences and we work on this marriage. Besides, you really think I would have the heart to take those kids away from you? Em, especially? She is so crazy about you." 

He quirked up a little smile and said, "She's crazy about you, too." You shook your head and told him, "No, you are her hero. She looks up to you, they all do. But Em sees her daddy as her armor and I know you'll protect her, all of them, from this in the future. You're a great father, Ben." 

He wiped away a few tears, before leaning down and kissing you and splaying his hand on your stomach. "I love you," he said after he pulled back. You smiled and said, "I love you, too." 

You took each other in for a few moments, until Em called, "Daddy!" You both laughed. "Your daughter awaits you, sir," you told him with a smile. He chuckled, then kissed your cheek before calling back, "Coming, Em!"

Mitzy thought she would have won this, but she clearly lost.
