~Autumn's POV~
I woke up in Liam's bed. But he wasn't there, and it was dark. I put some pillows behind my back to prop me up. 'Where's Liam?' I thought to myself. I looked to my left and saw a strange man rummaging through Liam's closet. I tried to keep quiet but I got the hiccups. He then turned and looked at me with a deadly stare. I stood up from the bed and tried to run away, but the pain in my stomach made it hard to do so. The man came up behind me, turned me around and pushed me down to the floor.
"Who are you?!" i screamed. The mysterious man didn't respond, "Why are you looking through my boyfriends things?" Instead he grabbed the broom he found leaning against the dresser and started hitting me with it. I tried stopping him but I was too weak.
"Stop! Please!" I screamed, "Help Liam!" But Liam wasn't here. I was alone with this man whose only intention was to hurt me. But i don't know why. Who was this guy first of all. Then i felt major pain in my head and legs from the strange man punching me and kicking me. I curled up in a ball and the man stopped. He the crouched down by my head and spoke to me.
"Be quiet or I will kill you", he whispered in my ear. Seconds later I heard the front door open. I knew it was Liam but I stayed quiet. I knew Liam would walk straight upstairs to check on me. The door creaked open and there stood Liam in the door way.
"What are you doing to my girlfriend?" At that moment the strange man smashed the window behind him and jumped out. I was left laying on the ground in more pain than I ever had in my entire life.
"Liam", i said, "i need to go to the hospital". He looked at me with soft eyes. Then he helped me up and carried me downstairs. We then got in his car a drove off to the hospital. Liam put his hand on my thigh, his thumb moving in tiny circles. I looked down at his hand, then at his face. He had this really worried look on his face. I was in so much pain and I could tell he didn't like it at all. He didn't like when I was in any pain. We arrived at hospital and walked in. Liam didn't want me walking so he brought me to a seat and then walked over to the counter and talked to the nurse.
~Liam's POV~
As I stood by the counter waiting to get Autumn checked in, I looked back at her in the chair. She looked so. . .broken. My eyes were starting to water and I started to cry. I don't like seeing her hurt. It breaks my heart when she gets hurt or feels any pain.
"She's all checked in Mr. Payne", the nurse said. I turned around quickly and nodded. Then with no hesitation I walked over to Autumn and sat down next to her.
"Are you alright baby? What did he do to you? When did he get there? Why was he there?"
"Liam calm down. It's alright, he just hit me with a broom and kicked me a few times", she said, putting her hand on my cheek and she stared deep into my eyes, "stop worrying baby".
"I cant".
"Autumn?" the nurse called out into the waiting room. We were the only people in the room considering it was almost 1 in the morning. We walked into the room and I helped Autumn on the bed, then I sat down on the chair next to the bed.
"so, what happened to you Autumn?"
"Well, I was laying in bed and i saw this weird guy looking through Liam's stuff. I tried my hardest to be quiet but then i got the hiccups and he heard and turned around, giving me this deadly look. Then he started to abuse me".
"Is that how you ended up all bruised?"
"Yes". The nurse then took her pulse and checked her heart rate. She also looked at the parts of her body that have been injured. While she did so she was talking to me.
"Sir where were you during all of this?" I looked up at her with tears in my eyes.
"I went to the store to get her some medicine. She wasn't feeling the best because she was puking earlier. This pregnancy hasn't been treating her well lately". The nurses eyes got wider the second i said Autumn was pregnant.
"We need to get her into an aultrusound right away to make sure the baby is alright".
"Alright", Autumn said, "can Liam please come with me?"
"Of course he can". After the nurse was done checking up Autumn, we walked to a different room for the aultrasound.
~Autumn's POV~
Liam helped me up on the table and laid me down. I looked at him, tears in his eyes still. I wiped them away and gave him a thin smile, reasuring him that I would be okay.
~an hour later~
We got home from the hopital and everything was alright. The baby, me, Liam. Everything. I had a broken arm and a bruised up leg. My stomach was still in so much pain but least the baby was alright. Me and Liam went to his room and he laid me down on the bed. Then he went to the other side of the bed and laid next to me on his side, proping his head up with one hand and the other hand gently on my stomach. At this point I was almost 5 months. Just 4 more to go. And to be honest I wasn't exactly prepared for what was to come. With Liam here, everything felt perfect.
