Unexpected Royal Repeat

Chapter 12: Tree house

Clarissa's POV

While I turned around and ran from Lucas, I searched for Dexter. We needed to talk.

Suddenly my mom stopped me, "Clarissa! What happened to your arm!"

Watching her face the upmost pain washed through her whole body. She stopped and sat on the ground.

"Mom?"

Tiny movement came from her as she shook.

"Dad!" I called.

He turned around and immediately ran to my mom.

"What's wrong dad?" I asked.

"What were you guys talking about or watching before this happened?"

"Mom stopped me and her eyes fell upon my arm" I said pointing the the dried gash.

He turned back to my mom, "it's a panic attack... she will be ok soon."

"Why is she having a panic attack?"

"An crazy chaotic event hasn't happened like this in a while and the gash on your arm pushed her over the edge of her past" he told me.

Her past was terrible, something I was grateful not to go through.

Dad brought guards over to help take her to their bedroom.

Letting out a deep breath I just knew I needed somewhere quiet to be.

Every location I knew of was not going to be silent, except for one.

Quickly I sped into the woods. It had to still be there, it was built to withstand everything!

The leaves crunched under my feet and the wind took my hair behind me. My heart rate continued to race allowing me to run at full speed.

Abruptly stopping I scanned the treehouse, safe.

Carefully I climbed the ladder and pushed open the door.

Blankets laid amongst the floor and couch from my last visit here. Picking the mess up I threw the blankets by the door to take home later.

I let my body collapse on the couch and fold into a ball. My chest hurt, my head hurt, and my breathing was shallow. All of this was too much. How would I expect to become a mother if I couldn't get my love life on track.

Tears ran down my face, as I let out all my pain.

The tree house started to creek. Jumping up I grabbed the giant stick laying against the wall.

A bright blonde ball of fluff passed peaked in.

"Oh hey Riss" he slowly said.

"Hi" I sniffled.

Swiftly pulling himself up he made his way to the girl falling apart, me.

"Can we talk?"

Slowly I nodded my head.

Dexter sat down right next to me, "so you're pregnant..."

"Yes."

"And it's mine."

"Yes" I repeated.

"I am going to be here for this child Riss, I am so sorry for screaming at you to get rid of it. Shock filled my mind and I didn't stop my hurtful words. Honestly I am exited about this baby but I am nervous about you..."

I turned my head giving him a hurt confused look.

"No no not in a bad way, just I am nervous how I feel about you... I feel something but I don't know what and I am trying to figure it out. Just please wait for me Riss, when I figure everything out I want to be able to run to you with open arms. Lucas isn't a good guy Riss, I can see it. His eyes shine with hatred and love, for you. It's like he is confused about something, please just wait" Dexter begged.

"I can't promise anything Dexter but I will try, ok?" I asked.

"It sounds great" he smiled.

He put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his chest.

"Girl or Boy?" Dexter asked.

"I don't know the gender yet."

"No I was asking which do you want?"

"A boy, but a girl would be just as fine!" I smiled.

"A girl, but a boy would be great too!" He smiled back.

We talked for the rest of the day about our baby and what it was going to look like. Also we discussed the names.

Boy: Rhett, Everett, Owen, Emmitt, Ernest

Girl: Mae, Pearl, Lula, Ruth, Ruby, Aurelia

"Oh my goodness this is going to be a hard decision Dex" I yawned.

"Well we have a while, but right now let's get to bed" he whispered while pulling a strand of hair out of my face.

"Ok" I nodded as we got up to head home.
