Seto's pov

I open my eyes staring at the tombstone "Seto you okay?" Brice says I sit up "No I'm not okay! I'm staring at my-" I stop hugging myself "I want Ian" I whimper softly Brice sighed hugging me tightly. I close my eyes sniffling.

"Seto?" I pull away from Brice seeing Tyler and Mitch I weakly sigh "I'm fine I just wanna stay here " I say Tyler nods "yeah we can stay With you,  Brice I just have a quick question " he says Brice nodding walking over.

Mitch walked over sitting next to me holding my hand I sigh shakily leaning into him. Mitch gently hugged me I whined feeling everything hurting just the thoughts and memories of Ian making me cry out hiding my face hugging myself ignoring all the pain I felt.

I sniffle Tyler and Brice kneeling "hey I need you to not freak out" Tyler mumbled I frown it's bad. "What?" I asked shakily "you're pregnant " he says my eyes widening looking away.

How- why now when he's gone! I whimper shaking my head "I don't want to be! Why now!" I yelled loudly Mitch hugged me tighter I kept screaming for Ian I wanted to stop hurting.

"Seto!" Brice said holding my face I got up "shut up! It's not fair! It's not fair!" I screamed louder and louder hitting him "I don't want it" I cried out hugging myself Brice kneeled next to me pulling me into a tight hug "shh we got you" he says I shook my head "I want Ian" I sobbed, Tyler and Mitch hugging me tightly.

Mitch's pov

I was walking back with Jason who took me into Spawn City for my speech therapy "Hey Mitch how about after your therapy we have lunch" he says I frown "Seto" I quietly say he sighed with a smile "well Brice is with him, you have to worry about yourself too" he says I sigh rubbing my arm still feeling the deep scars I made "My fault" I mumble.

He stopped me grabbing my shoulders "it's not your fault, it's no one's fault- well actually it's James's fault" he says I flinch hearing that name but looked away. He grabbed my face "I promise no one thinks it's your fault" he says I shook my head "Jerome " I whisper he scoffed "he's stupid, plus his emotions got to him" he grumbled.

I sighed and smiled weakly holding his arm "thankyou" I say pulling him I didn't want to be late for my therapy.

--Small time skip--

I smile weakly as we walked out "Jason, Mitch!" I hear we both turned around and saw Jordan I smile waving "how was your therapy?" He asked  I sighed "good" I say he smiled I grab Jordan's hand "Mind " I say he chuckled "oh now it's okay?" he says I whine 'Please tell Jason that I appreciate the offer he gave me earlier but I'd like all of us to have dinner, we can pick something up'

Jordan smiled and  explain to Jason who smiled "sure we can do that instead" he says "
"Thank you" I tell Jordan who nodded "of course, how's Seto?" He asked I frown looking away "Not too good, no matter what we do we can't pull him out and Tyler worries for the baby" he says Jordan sighing "can me and Taylor come over?" He asked I nodded.

"Of course, your family too" Jason says I nod agreeing he smiled "good I'll go find Taylor" he says snapping his fingers and  disappearing I look at Jason looking around for a place to get some food.

Jerome's pov

I walk towards the  center base with Rome both of us waking up from a nap "maybe mama is home" I say walking Past Seto seeing he was still asleep "Brice?" I call out he looked over weakly smiling "he's good" he says weakly I walk in. "If you want I can sit here with him go stretch" I say he smiled "I'm good Preston and Rob sat down with him, go " he says with a smile. I sigh and nod

I walked out seeing Mitch and Jason I walk over seeing all the food they had "how was therapy?" I ask Mitch weakly smiled "good" he says I smile." trade you Rome and I'll help with the bags " I say he nods handing me the bags and I handed him Rome.

"You can go lay down" I say he whined "Seto?" I ask he weakly smiled "sleeping" I whimper "go sit with Brice I'm sure he'd love the company " he says I nod and head down to Seto's room. I see Brice drawing I pull a chair and sit next to him "you okay?" I ask he weakly smiled nodding.

"I'm fine I'm just worried about Seto no matter how much he yells at me " he says Rome reaching over to grab Brice's pencil I quickly stop him "no it's fine " he says flipping the page "here Rome " he mumbled I smile "Baby" I say he chuckled "babies are smart he might be a super genius " he says I chuckle watching Rome scribble in the book.

"Hmm"

I look over seeing Seto move slightly I hand Rome to Brice and grab Seto's Hand "hi" I quietly say Seto weakly sighed closing his eyes. I frown "you eat- baby eat" I say shakily gripping his hand he shook his head hugging one of Ian's shirts.

I sigh looking at Brice who got up giving me Rome. "Seto you need to drink something," Brice said helping him sit up Seto growled pushing him off "leave me alone!" He screamed "I don't care if I die! I wanna die!" He yelled louder and louder. I frowned my heart hurting.

Rome started to cry loudly I frown and tried to calm him Seto kept yelling at Brice, throwing things at him, I didn't want him to hurt himself I quickly hugged Seto "Stop! Please" I begged my voice breaking Seto flinched
"Please eat" I shakily said.

Seto hugged me and Rome, I sigh shakily looking at him I whined wiping his tears away "okay" he weakly said "Mitch?!" I hear Jerome. I look at him and Rome who was still crying I gently rocked him kissing his forehead "it's okay" I say softly. "Come on " I say helping Seto up I look at Jerome "eat" I say he nods and quickly helps Brice all of us heading to the kitchen.

Jerome's pov

I leave my room making sure to take the baby monitor and head outside seeing Preston hunched over "hey is everything okay?" I ask she shakily sighed "uh probably not, I really can't move " he breaths out I frown and take my phone out calling Tyler and Rob.

"Here let's head inside " I say helping him inside he whimpered and gripped my arm tightly "is it time?" I ask he nods "yeah " he breathes out crying out in pain "Jerome!" I hear Rob I look over seeing both of them "why didn't you say anything" Rob said worriedly Preston sighing shakily "I didn't think it was a big deal" he says Rob sighed and looked at me.

"Thank you" he says I nod all of them leaving I weakly smile remembering when Mitch was pregnant. I sigh and head back out stopping when I saw Mitch and someone else I didn't know, they talked. I growl lowly watching them.

Mitch was doing great with his therapy and his speech was almost back I frown when Mitch laughed I walk over shoving him away from Mitch. "Jerome stop!" Mitch said getting in front of him I frown seeing him do that then helped him up apologizing I scoffed and walked off.

I don't like that as much as I hate that I should be happy that he's smiling. I wanted that but I wanted to be that reason, I wanted to be the reason he laughs and smiles but I was the reason he couldn't laugh or smile. "Jerome!" I hear Mitch yell I ignored him and kept walking. I head to the gym and head towards the lifts. Mitch grabbed me and pinned me to the wall. "That was my therapist" he says I frown "I don't care" I say looking away.

I tensed when he started to laugh I look at him. Mitch let's go "he's my therapist who wanted to see the base, I was laughing because - he told me how proud you would be to see me like this, how proud you would be" he softly said leaning up holding my face "Your jealous, I think that's cute" he says I take a deep breath shaking my head feeling my face get hot.

Mitch sighed his smile leaving "I wanted to leave at first, like dying because I'm not capable of leaving you. I love you and only you. I'm not leaving you not ever" he mumbled softly pulling me closer to him, I whine "I asked for time Jerome, you should trust me, I know its been hard but I have been trying, I my never be at 100% but I'm trying" he says kissing my lips I breathed shakily "I do trust you " I whisper my heart racing.

Mitch smiled both of us jumping when we heard Rome over the baby monitor I sigh Mitch letting go "I got Rome I wanted to give Brice a break" Mitch said taking the baby monitor "uhh can I apologize to your therapist?" I ask Mitch nodding "sure you can come to my next appointment" he says kissing my cheek and leaving.

I put my hand to my chest feeling how fast it was beating. I sigh and smile feeling the tears fall.
