Luna's Love

Chapter 21: I'm Scared, Danny

2 months later
Danny's POV
"Danny."
I woke up to someone calling my name. It was Luna and she was crying for some reason.
"Danny." She said, a little louder this time.
"What, baby? I'm right here." I replied as I put my arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder. She was shaking badly.
"I'm scared, Danny." She cried, turning to face me. I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her close to my body.
"What's wrong, baby?" I asked as I rubbed her back to calm her down.
"Just a nightmare." She replied, still shaking, but not as badly as a minute ago. I kissed her forehead and stroked her hair. Finally, she stopped shaking and calmed down. I let the hand that had been stroking her soft beautiful hair wander down to her growing stomach. I felt a small movement near my hand.
"Oh my god! I think the baby just tried to kick my hand!" I told Luna excitedly.
"I felt that too! Are you ready to find out the gender today?" She asked.
"Oh, I'm very excited. Very that." I replied with a smile. I was also excited that Jayy wouldn't be there to ruin such a beautiful moment. He was no longer interested in coming to her doctor's appointments because he couldn't stand me being there now that he knows we're dating. I had never been interested in having kids my whole life, but I went into this relationship knowing that this baby was part of it. I was definitely growing to love it as time went on, but I sometimes wished it was just us. Especially since our relationship was very new.
"Danny, I don't know what I'm going to do once I have the baby." She said quietly.
"What do you mean?" I asked, very confused.
"I've kind of been considering maybe giving it up for adoption." She replied.
"What?! Why?" I asked. I was completely shocked.
"I want to finally be able to cut Jayy out of my life without him being able to use our baby against me to keep me around. I want to be with you without Jayy getting in the way." She said, slightly digging her nails into my side.
"If that's what you want, I support you. Are you sure you want me that badly?" I asked, still in shock.
"Yes, Danny. I know we've only been dating for 3 months, but I know I would never be happy with someone else. Even if Jayy and I got back together, which will never happen, I'll never stop thinking about you." She replied, running her fingers up and down my side. I shivered at her touch and that made her smile.
"So I'm guessing you don't want to find out the gender anymore?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"No, not really. We still have to go and at least make sure it's doing okay and stuff like that. I guess we can start talking to the doctor about adoption too." She sighed.

Luna's POV
After the doctor's appointment, Adore and I headed home. It was strangely emotional for us because we had been so excited to find out the gender when we first woke up, and now we had started the adoption process and refusing to know the gender to of the baby I was choosing to give away. She held my hand the whole car ride home and I just looked out the window distantly. Not only was I doing this for us, I was doing it to give the baby a better life where he or she wouldn't have to live knowing that their father wanted nothing to do with them because he hated the man who their mother choose to be with. As we pulled into the driveway, my phone started ringing. Adore squeezed my hand before getting out of the car, leaving me to talk on the phone alone. I answered as I watched her sit down on the front steps of our house.
"How was the doctor's appointment?" Jayy asked on the other end.
"Okay, I'll be honest with you, Jayy. I'm giving it up for adoption." I replied bluntly.
"Why the hell would you do that?!" Jayy asked angrily.
"I don't want you in my life anymore! I don't want you to be able to use my child against me whenever you want to! I just want to be with Danny without worrying about when you're going to come after us for something stupid and use the baby against us!" I yelled into my phone.
"Fine! I'm over it, I'm done with you! Delete my number from your phone and forget I existed!" Jayy screamed back before hanging up. I deleted his number just as he said, along with all of our text messages. I was going to block him on all of my social media as well, but it looks like he beat me to it. I opened the car door, stood up and saw Adore was walking towards me. She pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. I cried into her shoulder and held onto her tightly.
When I finally stopped crying, Adore took me by the hand and we walked into our house together. She let go of my hand once we were inside and grabbed a notebook off of the kitchen counter.
"What's that?" I asked her as she walked towards me with the notebook in her hands.
"I wrote a new song one night when I couldn't sleep. I haven't done anything with it yet other than write the lyrics, but I want you to see it." Adore replied with a smile, handing me the notebook. I took it from her and started to read the words.
Come play with me, but not with my emotions
Come lay with me, make waves like the ocean
Come play with my hair
Come play with me, come play with my hair, come play with my hair
Come lay with me, just don't go there, just don't go there
"I...I love this, Adore." I said as I looked up at her. She smiled and kissed me, taking the notebook from me and laying it down on the kitchen table.
"Here's to our new life together." She said before kissing me again. I giggled and put my hands on her hips, pulling myself closer to her.
"I love you, Luna. And I'm not afraid to say it now, knowing that you're never going to leave. Not for Jayy or anyone else." Adore said, pressing her forehead against mine, holding my face in her hands.
"I love you too. I'll never stop loving you." I replied, pulling her into another kiss. I meant what I said. All I wanted was my sweet Adore, and I would never let anyone or anything get in the way of that. Ever.
