Take Me Back To The Start (Tony Perry, Mike Fuentes, other people?)

All The Little Lights

Tony's POV: 

I got Charlie into the hospital easier than I thought. I don't know why I thought she would fight me, I just assumed she wouldn't want someone poking and prodding at her. 

"What can I do for you," a cheerful, rather pretty nurse asked us. 

I saw Charlie roll her eyes which made me smile, "My fiancé just needs to have a basic examination. She was raped and we just want to make sure everything is okay."

The nurse's eyes widened, "Oh yes, of course. I'm sorry I didn't even recognize you as the woman that was just found. Here let me get you to immediate care." 

I smiled, "Thank you so much." 

Charlotte and I followed her, the others had to stay in the waiting room. Charlotte's hand brushed against mine, I took the chance to grab it and intertwine our fingers. She looked down at our hands and smiled. Not one of those fake smiles but a genuine smile, over something as small as holding hands. 

We were led to a small examination room and didn't even need to wait for a doctor to come. She did all sorts of tests for STDs and made sure there was nothing wrong with that region. However when it came time for the ultra sound the doctor had a slightly concerned look on her face. 

"I'm so sorry Miss Daniels, but it would appear that you are pregnant," she said grimly. 

I'm pretty sure I choked when inhaling because both women looked over at me. Charlotte was on the verge of tears and I didn't know what I could do. 

I cleared my throat, "How far along is she?"

The doctor looked a little more and then checked a lab result, "It would appear she's about 5 weeks along."

Charlotte's eyes lit up, "The sexual abuse didn't start until 2 weeks ago. The first 2 weeks were just physical abuse." 

The color drained from my face as I looked over at her, "Wait, does that mean..." 

"Tony, we're having a baby," she cheered as she grabbed my hand. 

The doctor smiled at us, "Well, all of your labs are clean. We've done the procedure for a rape case and we'll send it to the police. It will help get that scumbag a solid conviction. Congratulations." She gave us a little wave and left us to get ourselves sorted. 

Charlie leaped into my arms and buried her head into the crook of my neck. I can't believe she was pregnant, she never even said she wanted kids. Where does this leave us? Are we back together? I mean, clearly she still wants the baby. She'll make a great mom... but I don't think I'm going to be a good dad. I travel too much and she wouldn't be able to come with me if we had a kid. I'm too invested in the bad to worry about a kid.  

"Tony, you haven't said a word about this," she whispered. She unwrapped her arms from my neck and gave me a questioning look, "Do you even want kids?" 

"I don't know," was all I managed to say. 

"W-what do you mean you don't know," she stammered. 

I sighed and scratched the back of my neck, "It's just not something we've ever talked about. I just need some time and space to think." 

She stepped away from me, "You need space? Fine, whatever. Go back to San Diego, come back when you grow a pair." 

I felt the anger build up inside me, "Look Charlie, I'm sorry but a kid is really not what I need at this point in my career. I don't even know what we are so how are we even thinking about kids?" 

Her eyebrows furrowed, "I guess there is no 'us' right now. I want you to take me home. Now." 

I sighed and walked out, I heard footsteps so I know she's following. Everyone stood up when we walked back but their faces fell when they saw that we were no longer wrapped up in each other. I wonder if she knew she was pregnant.
