Love is Hard Clay X Reader

Nightmares

It was your fourth month of pregnancy. You've been sleeping in Clay's bed with him at night because you were scared. When you slept, there were these horrifying nightmares you had. It made you want to scream, but you couldn't. Something didn't let you.

As you got ready for bed, you knew Clay was waiting. He's been worried about you ever since you would fall asleep while eating. You didn't tell him why you would, but you felt like you should. He deserved to know what was going on.

As you crawled into the bed, you felt Clay fall beside you, pulling you close to him.

An hour of laying there, you hear him snore lightly, making you drowsier than what you were before.

Dream~

You were walking through a long, dark hall. It reminded you of Jestro's fortress. You held a protective arm over your stomach, looking back and forth. A cackle made your soul chill. An arm grabbed you, keeping you close.

"(Y/N), it's just me," Clay's voice said, making you calm down a bit. Then, you pulled away, turning to see Lance holding a voice-morphing box to his mouth.

He smiled wickedly at you, reaching out to you. You turn and run away, tears silently streaming down your face. The horror-like laugh came back, making you turn to see Lance beside Jestro. Jestro smiled at you as Lance came back at you, quicker than the first.

You were forced against the wall, making you grunt. You were met with those icy blue eyes.

"Just calm down, (Y/N). You and I are made for each other."

You kick at Lance, making him grunt lightly. "Fuck off!"

He smiles, glancing at your arm. You never moved it from your stomach. He grabbed something from his back pocket, looking you in the eye.

"So, why are you protecting your stomach, (Y/N)?"

You eyes widen, making him grin. "So, you're pregnant again. Well, that's a shame. I won't let you bare a child."

His hand came from his pocket, shoving somethings small into your stomach. As you look down, you saw a small blade. You cry as you look back at the former knight. "You bastard!"

He lets you fall to the floor, leaving you to bleed out.

End of Dream~

You sat up straight, your hand instantly going to your stomach. You sigh with relief to feel a small kick.

"What's wrong?" Clay asked, leaning in the doorway. He walks over to you, sitting beside you. He points to the time. 3:17 A.M.

You hug him, crying into his chest. "Lance stabbed me. He killed the baby again. He killed the baby!"

Clay rubbed your back, kissing your head. "He won't hurt you ever again. I promise, (Y/N)."

You nod, closing your eyes and falling asleep in his chest.

Clay's P.O.V.~

I held (Y/N) in my arms, feeling her fall asleep.  She seemed so tired, and I know why.  Lance has made her fear losing more.  He may not be here, but he's always there to her.  Watching her wherever she goes.

I lean back, too, falling asleep alongside my girlfriend.
