What we could've been

Time gone by

I smile slightly as I feel him gently place his hand around my stomach.

"There's someone really in there" he says quietly

"Your not mad?" I say looking down at his hand

"Riley..look at me" he says placing his finger under my chin as he lifts my head to meet his eyes

"I will never be mad at you.. I love you and I love this little person we made. I will always love you both" he smiles as he places a kiss on her stomach

-------------------------------
I sit as I look out the window as I place my hand on my stomach. 8 months and 5 with out him. I close my eyes as I feel A tear escape my eyes. When I soon feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn to met his gaze his eyes never as green as Lucas but comforting

"Please don't cry. It'll be okay" he says quietly as he places as kiss on my head

"I can't help it. How do you know that" I say looking down

He kneels in front of my as he looks at me.

"May I?" He asks as he moves his hand over my stomach

I slowly nob as I tense up.. As it bring back the memory of him

I watch as Charlie smile grows as his hand touches  my stomach.

"I know that because this little girl is going to be the greatest gift ever. So please don't be sad be happy that you have her" he say softly as he smiles up at me

I smile at him as I reach forward to kiss his check

"You are everything to me" he says quietly

---------------------------

My eyes flutter awake as I stretch out on the left side of the bed. My heart sinks down as once it's empty.  I raise myself up as I rest my back on the headboard of the bed. As the memories of both of them run through my half awake mind. Both meaning to much for my brain to wrap around

I run my hand through my hair as I think  over everything. It has been over a month since everything happened and nothing is right. Lucas had been coming over frequently asking for Hope much to Charlie's discomfort. He wanted to say no so badly but couldn't.

I'm fully woken when I hear the door open slowly. I look up to see him enter the room quietly. He stops as he sees me he slightly smiles..

"Hi" I say as i get out of bed

"Hello" he says sternly as he makes his way to the closest

I frown as I feel my heart heart. It had been a month since the arugurment we had and Charlie couldn't quite forgive me

"Please talk to me" I say

"Riley.."

"Charlie, it's been over a month since it happened! I'm so sorry" I say as I move to stand outside of the closet
