Lights (P.F.T Sequel)

Chapter twenty-nine

- Third Person -

"Promise me she's okay." Justin chokes. "Promise me they both are."

"I promise honey. They are both fine, the baby is healthy as can be." Natasha assured as she stands outside in the breezy New York air. "The doctor has just left and he is certain that Lux has just strained or pulled something during those baby yoga and pilates sessions she's been taking with Ruby."

"So the baby is okay? And Lux?" He breaths as the crew sighs breaths of relief.

"They're perfect, Justin." She soothes. His legs feel weak, quivering with relief as he plops down onto the cream, leather couch. Scooter puts a hand on his shoulder and looks at him questioningly in which Justin's nods in confirmation. Scooter smiles gratefully. "We haven't been able to get a signal since we arrived."

"Where's Lux now?"

"Discharging herself at reception." Natasha replied, glancing at the sliding doors. "Here she comes. Do you want to talk to her?"

"Please." He pleas, running his hand through his untamed hair. He excused himself and swiftly dashed towards the bedroom, locking himself inside as he listened the the muffled voices. Suddenly, his heart leapt at her precious sniffle.

"Justin?" Lux whimpers, biting at her lower lip as her body continues shaking.

"Baby, oh thank God you're okay." He breathes, his emotions overcoming him as salty tears pricked his eyes. He felt so incredibly helpless. "Are you okay? Are you in pain, still bleeding?"

"I'm fine- we're fine." She whispers, pressing her palm to her forehead. "Justin I was so scared."

Justin's heart broke, the shattered pieces falling to the depths of his nauas stomach. He furiously wiped away the fallen tear and gulped back the rising lump. "I'm so sorry I'm not there. I'm so sorry baby, I know you're scared because I was too."

"Sweetheart, we need to get you in the car before paparazzi arrive." Pattie interrupts. Quickly scrambling to the car, Lux rested her head against the darkened window.

"Dr. Isaac said that if I continue to do pilates or yoga, I shouldn't stretch but after this, I think I'm going to give up." She says with a lighthearted giggle. She rubs her stomach and breathes out a relieved sigh. "I don't seem to have much luck with pregnancies, maybe it's a sign.."

It crushed Justin to hear that his fiancée may be calling a halt on their family after their second son or daughter is born, he always dreamed of having a hand-full of kids but the health of his soul mate meant much more to him.

"I mean, it's whatever you want." He mumbles quietly. "Obviously I don't have much say in it because I'm not the one whose body is experiencing it all."

Lux kept quiet, her gaze fixated on the outside world. So empty, so peaceful, so quiet. "Let's get this baby out and grown up a little before we have the talk about the possibilities, yeah?" Justin nods, forgetting she couldn't see. "Where are you now?"

"Honestly?" He speaks. "I have no clue. Everything on my mind just went completely out the window after our skype call. I didn't even know my own name."

"I'm sorry I worried you." She whispers.

"Don't be. I'm just sorry I couldn't be there." He murmurs. "But you're both okay now, that's all that matters, isn't it?"

"Yeah." She smiles, glancing down at her adorably petite bump. "It is."

"I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." Ruby sobs, engulfing her best friend in an awkward pregnant hug. Both their bumps were making their movements restricted but didn't stop the emotional twenty-five year old to sob on Lux's shoulder. "I'm sorry, please don't hate me! I didn't know the classes would land you in hospital."
