Cali, here I come!

Chapter 36: Baby I Love Your Way

Wesley's POV:

It's gone. The memories that I've made with Charlie, the late nights just talking, how we met and how awkward it was, and even the birth of our child. You never realize how much the little things mean until they're gone. I slept at the hospital with Charlotte and Abigail.

"Hi baby." I heard the sweetest sound in the world: Charlie's voice. I opened my eyes to see her standing over Abigail's bassinet, picking her up gently.

"You're a cutie." She cooed. I stood up quietly and walked over to the 2 girls across the room. I wrapped my arms around Charlie's waist lightly, and she jumped a bit at my touch.

"I'm sorry babe." I said.

"It's okay... Wes?" She asked.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Did my mom choose my dad over me?" She inquired quietly. I took a deep breath and began.

"Well... Sort of. He showed up and she told you to be nice to him. You called me up and told me everything. All of the things that he's done to you an Cam. I came and got you and we left." I told her.

"She didn't ask me to come back?" She asked, looking down.

"No baby. I'm sorry." I scooped her up into a hug after she placed Abigail back down.

"Do they know?" She asked.

"Know what babe?" I answered.

"About Abigail." She elaborated.

"Your mom and dad don't, no. But Cameron does." I answered.

"How did he take it?" Charlie asked.

"Good, great actually... After he punched me in the face." I chuckled. She giggled. The noise I've been missing was back. I smiled and hugged her tight. She squirmed away at first, but gave into the embrace after a while.

We sat in a comfortable silence for a while, until Cameron showed up. I had called him and told him the whole story.

"Charlotte!" He said, walking in the door and pulling her into a hug.

"Cam!" She yelled back.

"I'm so glad you're okay. I'm so glad you remember me." He chuckled. I looked away awkwardly. She doesn't remember me...

"Hello miss Abigail." He cooed, kissing her forehead lightly. She giggled and squirmed a bit.

"Wes." He nodded his hello to me, then pulled me into a bro hug. We all talked for a few hours until visiting hours were over. Cameron left, but knowing the conditions, I was aloud to stay with Abigail in Charlie's room.

"I can take you home tomorrow Charlie." I smiled at her. She smiled back then laid back down on the bed. It was silent for a while, so I assumed she had fallen asleep.

"Wes?" I heard her whisper.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Will you... Cuddle with me?" She hesitantly asked.

"Of course babe." I agreed with no hesitation whatsoever. I climbed into bed behind her and wrapped my arms around her tightly. I began to sing to her lightly.

"Shadows grow so long before my eyes. And they are moving across the page. Suddenly the day turns into night. Far away from the city." Baby, I Love Your Way, her favorite.

"I love that song Wesley." She smiled once I was finished and turned to face me.

"I know." I smiled back and kissed her lips. She didn't pull away, in fact she kissed back. That was the highlight of my day. Maybe I can get her to remember me... Or at least fall in love with me again.

"I love you Charlie." I whispered in her ear.
