In The End (Sequel to Savior)

9th Chapter "Faint Part 2"

CC's POV

The doctor says that her faint was due to stress.

Stress about the baby is understandable with the band situation tied in with that. She has always been alright when it came to stress over the hate groups and managing her stress. So, what caused her faint now if it could not have been either one of those?

I sit beside her as she lays on the hospital bed asleep, going over in my head the plans and questions, just worrying and wondering. I hear mumbling from outside the room so I decide to get up and scope it out. Rach and Amanda look at me bewildered and stop talking as they see me exit the room. I question them on what they were discussing and being that they know how much I care about their sister they tell me after little hesitation.

I can't believe that Liz is threatening, torturing, hurting, whatever other synonyms there are because this is not cool. I know that us three had a past but she left, she went on her own way without a trace. Scar was devastated by the up and leaving because it was a PTSD trigger of her dad walking out. I was not affected in any way by her leaving because we were broken up and had no contact with one another. But, why would she be angered by Scar and I being together, I know there's the girl/guy code bout dating a friends ex but she walked out so there has got to be an exception, right?

I walk back in the room, walk to her bedside and hold her hand gently, soothingly rubbing my thumb across the top of it. I just stand there admiring her as she sleeps and look at the monitors and the baby bump. When my eyes gaze at the bump I smile, relax my stance, and just think of different scenarios that will/can happen in the future once the little ones are here. Scar and I don't want to know the gender but we do know that it is twins.

Someone clears their throat and I see Rylan standing on the other side of the bed. I go to sit down and say hey to me as I reach my hand out to him for a shake. He accepts it and greets me as well. He then shakes his head, smirking, and giggling(???) which makes me wonder so I ask the universal question, "What?"

He replies with, "Nothing, just she always talked highly of you and I was always on edge about it because she sounded so happy and in love and I was just being skeptical, over protective, and worried. She has been through a lot and I just thought that you would be the one that broke her officially because of how in love she is with you. But I see that I am mistaken, how you were just admiring her and the babies made me understand that you truly are a nice guy that will treat her as she should be treated. I'm sorry I thought poorly of you, that you would treat like all the others had done. Also, Justin told me about the lunch outing you had with him and his wife. Thank you, I can't be there for her 24/7 like I would like to be due to the Army but I'm happy to share the care of her with you. I guess I should be going before I'm called AWOL, I just wanted to  check on her and have a chat with you that won't be said because I see that you aren't a scumbag. Can you give her this card and Chewbacca for me when she wakes please?"

"Yeah, of course man, thanks for seeing that I'm good and not bad. She misses you and will hate that she slept through your visit, but she'll enjoy the Chewy and card." We hug and say goodbyes, he leaves and I sit back in the chair wandering off into space again while holding her hand.

*3 days later*

We, Scar and I,finally leave the hospital, they kept her for awhile because of fluids, babies, and monitor how she is mentally by changing her antidepressants. I never once left her side, never let go of her hand, because I knew that she could feel me and she is the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever have. She packed everything up except the Chewbacca stuffed animal, she has held that closely by her side ever since she woke up after Rylan had dropped by hours earlier.

When we were in the hospital and I saw her arms, I saw that what I feared as to being the reason behind her strange behavior recently. It hurt me knowing she was leaving bruises and cutting here and there. I know she left bruises because of the markings being worse on the right thigh then the lefts, she's dominate in her right hand and not so much her left. She punched her right thigh and the right side of left thigh with the right hand and then did the opposite with the left hand on left thigh and left side of right thigh. No need for her to tell me, especially since Rach confided to tell me bout the punching theory, she does it and figures that scar picked up on it to help cope with the no cutting. I don't plan on ever talking or bringing it any of it up unless Scar decides to talk to me.

We go get dinner before going back to her house, the dinner consists of Hard Rock Cafe for some cheeseburgers, Applebee's for ribs, and Red Robin for Voodoo fries, then for dessert we went to DQ for blizzards and Cold Stone. When we got back to her house we brought the food up to her room. As I placed the ice cream in her freezer/mini fridge, she put a movie on and set the food all up on her bed. This is what we call a date night, nothing fancy but its us spending time together alone without doing anything other then just being company for the other. This is what we normally do though whenever I come over because sometimes a good movie and comfortable silence is the best therapy.

*a couple of weeks later*

I ended up waking up in her bed with my arms wrapped her body cuddled up to mine. I needed to go pee but opted to hold it due not wanting to wake her and loving the feeling of her being in my arms again. I moved my hand down to her belly, which had started looking like a ball stuffed under her shirt, as my hand laid there I felt a kick or two and was taken aback a little by it. Just after the kicks she started to wake a little so I kissed and said, "Good morning Beautiful," with a smile on my face. She smiled and kissed me back and cuddled into my chest to go back to sleep, it was noon and she was still wanting to sleep while I needed to pee. So, I ended up playing bad boyfriend and moved away from her this back fired because she was holding on to my shirt and had a death grip on it. I told her I was going to the bathroom to piss and shower and that when I came back in her room I would have food. She held her grip on my shirt until i got the word "food" out, that is when grip went bye-bye.

As I showered I realized that there haven't been anymore leaks and hacks meaning that hopefully Liz is out of our lives. I also reminisced on how far Scar and I have come and how close we are to meeting our mini me's. I still haven't popped the question, thats going to happen tomorrow night at her bands first gig which is opening for WeAsHuman, BVB, BMTH, and Andy Black. I just realized how stressful that has got to be, opening for her dads band, then my band, a band she looks up too, and Andy's new solo thing all while pregnant with it being first gig with two new bandmates. I just hope everything goes as planned, everyone is going to be at the concert and so with her and her damn intuition/sixth sense she may catch on or be blindsided thinking its for her first gig. I don't know, I'm just going to take her her breakfast/lunch and carry on as normal like nothing special is happening.

A/N: Hey lovelies, sorry for the long needed update but I am back and hopefully I'll update more before I leave in January. I joined the Army and go to basic in January, I will hopefully be back at writing when I go to school.
