Wild heart - Bradley Will Simpson fan fiction

TWENTY FIVE

~* Becky's POV *~

" I'm 13 weeks." I state, dropping the test in the bin.

I don't want this. Neither of us want this. We're too young for this. I mean, I want a family more than anything. But not now. Not at 18 years old. I'm still stuck working in Starbucks, for God's sake. How am I suppose to provide for our baby on minimum wage? I can't rely on Brad for everything.

" Please don't worry. We have time to work something out. But please don't stress, baby. I don't want you to make yourself ill." Brad ran his fingers through my hair and pressed his lips to my forehead in a lingering kiss.

" I'll be fine. We'll be fine. Let's just not think about it too much. Can we just sleep?"

Brad nods and pulls me out of the bathroom. We strip down to our underwear, leaving our clothes in a pile on the floor, and climb into bed. Brad and I kiss and I fall asleep on Brad's chest almost instantly.

***

I wake up in a cold sweat and breathing heavy. I keep having these nightmares but I can never remember what happens in them.

" You alright, baby?" Brad mumbles from beside me. " You still having those nightmares?"

I nod and wipe my forehead with the back of my hand. Brad sits up and leans back against the head board. I links his fingers with mine and tugs me onto his lap. He sits me on his lower stomach and pulls his knees up for me to lean back on.

" Do you want to talk about your nightmare?"

" I can't remember it," I explain. " All I know, is that he was in it."

" Again?" Brad quesions.

I just nod, staring down at our dancing fingers.

Brad lifts my chin with his fingers and looks me in the eye. " He's not coming for you, baby girl. I promise."

Without his eyes leaving mine, Brad leans forward and gently places a soft kiss on my bump. And I melt inside.

" I'll keep you safe. I'll keep you both safe." And he kisses my stomach again.

I run my fingers through his hair and he looks up at me. " I love you." I tell him.

" I love you, too, Baby. But we have to move now. You have work in an hour and I need to be in the studio."

I groan and roll off Brad and out of bed. I put on my sweats, a jumper, my coat and my Hunters and take Kai out for his morning walk.

***

Walking down the road, I get the feeling I'm being watched. Looking around, I notice a black BMW sports car that I recognise, but I can't place the car or the number plate. I try subtly looking into the car when I walk past on the other side of the road, but all the windows are tinted. I start feeling uneasy and cut Kai's walk short and head home.

***

Before we leave the house, I check the TV is off and all the lights are out. I double check the door is locked and Brad and I head to my car.

***

" You alright, babe? You seem a bit on edge." Brad reaches over and rubs my thigh as I drive towards Starbucks.

" Err, yeah...yeah. I'm fine." I reassure him.

I still can't get the image of that black BMW out of my head. I've seen that car before. I've seen that number plate before. I know I have. But I can't remember where and when. It will come to me soon. I know it will.
