Carrier (TPA2)

8:

     Two months:

     I've tried to call Ryan nearly a hundred times a day, until Alex takes the phone from me, actually. It stresses me out, I completely understand but I've been this way since I was taken. I can't stand still.

I like calling his number, and listening to the voicemail. I like hearing the sound of his voice; even if it's just a recorded message. It's still him.

"Can I have my phone back?" Alex asks, climbing into the bed next to me. I shake my head against it and pout my bottoms lip out.

"Let me try just one last time." I say. He sighs but does what I want. The phone rings, over and over again. I sort of expected it to go to voicemail like it did. I already had my words planned out if he did answer though.

I haven't seen him or North in a year and a month. It's been so long that North's features would have changed so much.

"Why do you believe in going home? Do you really think he'll want you back after something like this?" Alex asks. I blink, roll over to face him. Why he would ask such a question I do not know.

"I believe that he's still looking for me, and he deserves the right to know if I'm okay or not. Regardless of if he wants me after this or not I'll always want him." I say. Alex looks at me and furrows his eyebrows.

"You really do love him." He mumbles under his breath. Of course I do. I married Ryan for that reason exactly. Not because I wanted a fancy house or anything. But because I truly loved him no matter what happens.

"You, little miss, need to go back to sleep." Alex mumbles. He kisses my forehead. I think it's a sign of affection. Possibly because I'm carrying his child. He dips his head down to my stomach and kisses it. "And you, what ever you are, need to let your mum sleep." I roll my eyes at the way he called me it's mum. Of course I'm it's mother, but only the birth mother. Chelsea would be it's mother to nurture it and watch it grow.

There's a warmth that spreads through me when he does the sweet little act. I let out a breath and push him away with a little chuckle. It tickled.

My stomach is starting to get a bump, it's not dramatic but it's there. I feel his thumb rub soothing circles into my stomach. My eyes close and my lips part.

He kisses me. I let out a breath and tiredly kiss him back. It's part of the agreement. If I don't do what he wants he'll add another month to my time here. I feel like I'm in prison, only I'm pregnant and they give me good food.

He starts to pull away and I kiss him one last time. My hormones are acting up. I'm determined to keep those cravings to myself up until the point I'm about to kill someone.

   "Go to sleep." He chuckles, curling into the bed next to me. I nod my head and pull the blankets up to my chin. It's not long before I'm falling asleep and Alex his holding me close.

One hand, however is holding the baby close. I let out a breath and try to fall asleep. Ryan and North are on my mind, and it's weighing heavy on my shoulders. Only seven more months then I can go home. See them.

Be happy.
