Liam's POV.
I watch and listen to Braden and Emily. I can see her about to break down and cry. But Braden explains every detail as if he is talking to his friend about a new video game.
"And that's how i ended up here." Braden finishes off his story.
Part of me wishes he would have never told her because now I'm gonna have to answer thousands of questions about why i never told her about this. And the other part of me is glad he told her because she now knows his story and I won't have to explain it.
"Is Steve your real dad?" Emily looks at the wall behind Braden.
"Yeah. A few years after my mom passed away he found Anne. Jake was her son that she had with another guy before Steve. She has a daughter but she lives in England with her dad. I've never met her. But I heard she's the same age as Jake and Liam." What Braden tells Emily is true.
I've never really meAt Anne's daughter either. I've seen pictures of her but that's it. Her name is Jade something. Don't remember.
Emily's POV.
"Oh." Is all i say.
I sit in silence while Braden gets up from the couch to go eat. I look up and see Liam standing by the stairs, looking at me. I give him a smile and he returns one.
"You okay?" Liam walks over to me and sits down.
"Yeah, why?" I put my hand over my stomach and clutch what I can of my stomach.
"Your face went pale and your cheeks flushed red." He puts one of his huge hands over my forehead.
"You're extremely hot." He takes his hand away.
"Don't tell me things i already know." I smirk.
Clarribelle comes marching into the living room with her fairy outfit on.
"Clarribelle, what are you wearing?" Liam questions the six year old.
"Braden promised he would play with me if i cleaned his room. Well I did and he still hasn't played with me." she pouts her bottom lip out.
I hear Braden run upstairs.
"Braden! Get down here!" Liam calls for Braden.
"Yeah?" Braden asks all innocent.
"You owe your sister an hour of fairy time."
"But!"
"No buts. She cleaned your room and you promised."
"Can't Emily?" Braden gestures to me and i look at Liam.
"No. She's sick and needs rest. There's no getting out of this. Just go. It won't last that long." Liam puts his hand on my thigh after Braden walks off.
"Do you feel okay?"
"Yeah. Well my stomach hurts and head. My chest feels heavy, like i can barely breathe or something."
"Umm...i'll see if we have any medicine. Are you hungry?"
"No. I will just go rest." I get up to walk but Liam picks me up bridal style instead.
I rest my head in the crook of his neck and wrap my arms around his back.
"I love you." I whisper into his ear.
"I love you too." He gives me a kiss and sits me down on the bed.
"Liam?" I wrap myself up in the blankets.
"Yeah?"
"Will you come in here and lay down with me? I don't feel like taking medicine."
"Yes. But you are taking medicine." he walks out before I can reject. Hmpf.
