Running Scared

16- Come Back To Me

Two weeks later...
Natalie POV
I have been a hospital for two weeks and I'm finally being released to go home, but there still hasn't been any improvement in Drew's health he has been in a coma every since the shooting. "So you want to go home?" he asked as he grabbed my bags from the bed. "Actually I want to go see Andrew for a few minutes if that's ok?" I ask hoping he would understand. "Sure I will go put the bags in the car while you are visiting with him?" He say giving me a quick kiss on the cheek then walking out the room. I walk down the hall to the room where Andrew was still laying looking almost lifeless. I stand beside his bed and take his hand in mine, "Drew I really need you to wake up, and be here to your Gracie and our new little one," I say as I place his hand on my stomach. "Please come back to me, I love you!" I say as tears begin to stream down my face, "I don't want to live my life without you in it." As I begin to cry uncontrollably I feel Alec's arms wrap around me, "Shh Natalie its ok." After crying in Alec's arms for what seamed like forever, he begin leading out of the hospital.

The ride home was silent and I couldn't help but wonder if he heard everything I had said to Drew. As we enter into the house I couldn't help but feel as though I was in a dream, because being trapped in that small room for so long I had begun to think I was never going to make it out alive. "mommy," I hear Gracie's little voice say as she comes running down the hallway, with Sophie being practically dragged behind her. I immediately scoop her up into my arms. "My sweet baby I have missed you so much," I say as I hold her tight to my chest. After I sit her back down on her feet, her little eyes go to my growing stomach and gives me this confused look. 'Sweetie I have something to tell you," I start out as I sit down on the couch and pull her into my lap. "Gracie how would you like to have a baby brother or sister?" "I want a brother," she said after pondering over the news I had just told her. "Well lets just hope its a boy then," I say giggling at her. "Mommy does brother belong to daddy Drew too?" Gracie asked taking me by surprise and I look up to see hurt in Alec's eyes. "Gracie, mommy needs to talk to your daddy Alec for a minute then I will come talk to you again later. "Ok mommy," she says getting off my lap and running off to her room. "I will take her out of the house for awhile so you to can have some privacy." Sophie says as she turns to go get Gracie.

Alec POV

"Alec please talk to me," Natalie begs as he grabs my arm to try and keep me from leaving the house. "Natalie there isn't anything to talk about, I already know the baby isn't mine." "Please don't leave me, I didn't mean for you to hear me talking to Andrew," she says as tears form in her eyes. "So your only sorry that I found out the way I did, not that you sleep with your ex and got pregnant," I say my anger becoming hard to keep in. "No its more than that I hate that I cheated on you, its something I had always told myself I would do to my husband," she said tears streaming down my face. Seeing her so upset mad my heart break for her, and my anger started to slowly slip away. I pull her into my chest and wrap my arms around her tight. "Natalie just answer me one thing, are you in love with me?" I ask her needing to here from her that she has never really been in love with me. "Alec you know I love you!" she said pulling back so she could look me in the eyes. "That's not what I asked, I know you love me but are you in love with me like you are with Drew?" I ask her and I wait for her to answer me. "I haven't really though about it, I mean I thought I was but then Andrew came back into my life and all the feelings I have for him just came flooding back," she says with almost no emotion in her voice. "That's why as much as its going to hurt if Andrew pulls through this in going to let you go," I say and she looks at me shocked. "Why would you do that?" she asked with confusion in her voice. "Yes, because lets face it you where never really mine, I mean as soon as Andrew walked back into your life I knew I was keeping kiss family away from him and its not right, but if he doesn't make it i would like for you to continue being my wife and hope someday you can love me like I love you. Andrew is a good guy and he deserves to have his family, even if that means me loosing you," I say as I kiss her once on the forehead before turning and exiting out the house. As soon as I make it to the car I feel myself begin to shatter into a million pieces.
