*FIVE MONTHS LATER*

I woke up breathless and i couldn't breathe. I had a dream, a bad one. It felt like something was trapping me not letting me breathe. I gasped for air and I got out of bed opening the window.

I breathed in the fresh air and I heard James call my name. "Charlotte?" He asked. "Sweetie? Are you okay?" The fresh air didn't change anything and I slammed the window shut. "I- I can't-" I stopped and James rushed over to me. "Kitten." He held me close and said, "Shh. Don't talk just breathe." He hummed. "Shh." I slowly calmed down and was able to breathe properly.

"W-what happened?" I asked as he sat me on the bed. He put a hand up to my forehead and said, "You just had a panic attack. Its nothing to be worried about. Did you have a bad dream?" He asked. I shook my head. "No." I said.

"Come on. Let's get back to bed. You'll be okay." He said.

I got underneath the covers and James held me close in his arms. I soon fell asleep.

The next day I woke up to James softly calling my name. "Charlotte, sweetie. I made you breakfast." He said. I slowly sat up and saw he made me eggs on toast. "Thanks." I replied tiredly.

Once I had finished my breakfast I began to get out of bed but stopped. "Oh my god." I said. I felt my stomach and James asked what was wrong. "It moved. He moved." I said. "He?" James said kneeling in front of me. "I don't know. But wow. I felt him move." I said. James smiled and placed a hand on my stomach. I laughed a little and he kissed me softly. "He's perfect." He said.

James left the room and my mind wondered back to last night. I've been having the same dream for two months. He doesn't even know. All that happens is that I see the woman he slept with and then I see him leave me and everything turns black and I can't breathe and I wake up.

*ONE MONTH LATER*

It had been six whole months since I saw Zachary and I hadn't heard from him since then. Which was in a way a good thing but also a bad thing because he hasn't even been found yet.

However that was the last thing on my mind. The baby hadn't moved. I hadn't felt it move in two weeks. I was getting scared. So I told James that night when he cam home and we went to the hospital.

I lay on the bed as the woman started the scan and she informed us that everything was fine. James and I shared a look of relief.

Once we arrived home James and I shared a long hug.

The days passed, weeks and months flew by and in a few days I would have the baby. And I was terrified.

Sorry for the rubbish chapter but I needed a filler and sorry for the time skip but there is going to be a lot more happening now and in the next chapter. ❤
