This Love (A Stemily Fanfiction)

11. ...but never better.

Emily's POV

She reached for me and took my hand, while pulling out her phone. "Ok."

She spoke only three words before hanging up and sitting down with me. "She needs you."

I picked up Mavi and held her while she played with her Ducky.

I didn't know if I was making the right call, but I knew that I wanted them both in my life and I was more afraid of losing them than anything else.

Stephen's POV

"She needs you." Italia spoke.

"On my way." I hung up and rushed to the front door, without realizing I wasn't even wearing shoes.

Robbie ran after me. "Dude, where the hell are you going?"

"Emily." I said and he grabbed my Nikes and his keys, handing me the shoes he smiled. "Alright. I'll drive."

We pulled up to the apartment and I ran up the stairs, Robbie barely keeping up.

I opened the door and looked around, not seeing her. Italia walked out of the hallway and pointed to the bedroom. She shh'ed me so I imagined that Mavi was asleep.

I walked into the room quietly and Emily was rocking Mavi, a bottle barely being held up by her blanket, and her Ducky tucked in with her.

Emily looked up and smiled at me. I walked over to the bed and put my arm around her, she rested her head on my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head and placed my hand on her stomach.

"I love you." I spoke, sincerely and happily.

She took a breath. "I love you too."

We stayed that way for a minute and Mavi began to stir. Emily stood up and took her into her room. I stayed in the room, taking a look around for the first time, I had forgotten how much of a mess I had left it.

Soon she was standing in the doorway with her head resting against the door frame and her hands, lying protectively around her belly.

She was just watching me.

I smiled. "What?"

She made her way to me and stood in between my legs, I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"I just don't know how I thought I could live without you." She replied.

"I don't know either." I smirked and she smacked my shoulder.

I smiled. "Ow. I'm just kidding. I don't know what I would've done if you wouldn't have taken me back."

She picked up my head and placed her lips on mine and for the first time in days, I truly felt at home. Not because I was in this apartment, but because I was with her. Emily was my home, she was my life and I couldn't foresee anything ever changing that.

We were interrupted by someone clearing their throat at the door.

Robbie and Italia were standing there. Robbie with a disgusted look on his face and Italia with a joyous smile.

"I would say get a room, but you have one and honestly there's no time for this if we're going to catch our flight." He said pointing at his non-existent watch.

Emily looked at the clock on the nightstand.

"Oh my God, we have less than 2 hours to get to the airport and I haven't packed!" She panicked.

I took her hands in mine. "Hey it's okay. We'll get it done, don't worry."

"Yes, EBR. It's fine, we are flying private, the plane will hold for us." Italia explained and Emily relaxed a bit.
