Post Finale (#Wattys2016)

Vee's Confession

A/N: I hoped you all liked chapter 16. I know that a lot of you are Scott and Vee fans so I tried to compensate for you guys. I really would like some feed-back from you all about what you would like to see happen with the characters. Anyways here is Chapter 17.

Patch POV:

Nora and I sat on the hotel bed playing monopoly. So far she was winning with the most money, and she sent me to monopoly jail. Every time she sent me she would smile and say sorry Patch with a sly grin. I was partially letting her win; because I knew she was very competitive.

We were possibly at the end of the game win my phone started to vibrate on the nightstand. Nora leaned over and winced as she grabbed my phone.

I extended my arm for the phone but she kept it from me. She answered it, "Hello?"

She listened to the other person speak until she said, "What do you mean he's dead? Where is she? Is she okay? What happened?"

I felt my eyebrows rise as I tried to think about who it was. I could hear that it was male, but I couldn't tell whose voice it was. Nora ran her fingers through her hair. She sighed, "I'll let you talk to Patch. I'm going to be in the kitchen," She handed me the phone and attempted to get off the bed. She may be one and half months pregnant, but she already had a bump like she was three months.

This pregnancy was seriously starting to affect her. Her movements were better than average humans for the state that she was in. But she was still slower and more sluggish than before she was expecting. I took the phone and got off the bed to help her up. Since it was the first time that she was pregnant, it's to be expected that she doesn't know what to do or that she needs help almost constantly.

As I helped her off the bed and regain her balance, I said into the phone, "Hello?"

The voice I heard next was not the one I was expecting, "Patch, Vee wants to come back to England to be with Nora. Vee and Gavin were under attack by a mugger dressed as a mime. Gavin was shot and Vee was almost kidnapped. What should I do?" Scott spoke into the phone.

I rubbed my chin. I thought for a minute before answering, "Go ahead and come to the hotel. Then once you're here, you're going to have to watch the girls."

Scott mumbled something to someone and said, "Alright, I can do that. But why do I have to watch both Nora and Vee? Where are you going?"

I walked into the bedroom bathroom and locked the door behind me, "Nora and I can't keep staying here in this hotel. I've got to find us a place to stay. I know what Nora likes and I'm going to try to find something like the farmhouse. Here in England."

Scott was quiet for a while. He then spoke again after a few minutes, "Alright. I'll see you in an hour or so. I have a crying Vee with me so I may be delayed so expect me in thirty minutes or an hour."

I nodded, "Alright, I'll let Nora know the plans. See you."

Scott said goodbye and hung up the phone. I unlocked the door and walked into the kitchen where Nora was hunched over the sink. I walked over to her and slid my arms around her waist so that the palms of my hands were resting on her growing abdomen.

Scott POV:

I unfurled my wings so that I can travel with Vee. She took my hand, but before I could say anything she brought her hands to each side of my face and kissed me slow and hard. She crushed her entire body against mine. In a matter of seconds it started raining.

I broke the kiss off and said, "This is so cliché," Vee looked at me like I was crazy. I probably was crazy. But I took her look as a sign to keep going, "Us. Your husband just died; I saved you from a kidnapper, rapist, robber, and a murderer. You're kissing me like none of that just happened. It seems... It seems like this is a scene out of a movie..." Vee looked at me... Her big green eyes shown with tears.

Vee turned away from me. She sniffled and said in the tiniest voice, I had ever heard her speak in, "I know... It probably seems like I didn't love him. But I did. I did love him, Scott. But there was something about him...," She sniffled again, "There was something about him that just didn't seem to click with me. There were times when he would be so nice and then there were times where he was the exact opposite... I think that he was bipolar... But that has nothing to do with this...," I nodded for her to continue, "Gavin... He wasn't you. I always loved you. You were my first true love. I don't care how much of a chick flick this is sounding, but I love you Scott. When I saw you that first day when you ran your fingers through your hair the way you did... it brought back memories... memories of us... Memories of what we had planned.... I had wanted that all so badly....." She drifted off and silently began to convulse with tears. She fell to her knees.

I stood there for a second processing. I then slid to her level and slid my hands around her waist. My wings bent towards her as if to shield her away from the outside dangerous world. Vee looked up at me. Her green eyes were red and puffy from crying.

I hugged her tight to me and rocked with her. I comforted her until her sobs turned into sniffles. I got to my feet and grabbed her hand.

She shook her head and I said, "We got to go. If we are to get to England before lunch, we better leave now..." I trailed off as I realized that she went limp. I laid her down and came to the conclusion that she had fallen asleep while talking. Great...

I picked her up bridle style and flapped my wings and sooner or later we were on our way to the hotel. I flew to the best of my ability so that I wouldn't drop or disturb Vee while she was asleep in my arms.

A/N: And that is chapter 17. I knew you all would like the steamy moment between Scott and Vee. If you have any ideas for how this story should go, please review. It would mean the world to know how much you all are liking my story and what you think of the storyline.
