Deep Attraction

Chapter 35

Vincent's POV
I take Brooke outside at midnight. She was having trouble sleeping. She changes into a bikini as I change into some shorts before we get into the hot tub. She sighs as she rubs her stomach.
"What's wrong Brooke?"
"I'm getting fat."
"No you're not and trust me you still look sexy."
We just sit there enjoying each other's company before we decided to go back inside.
The next morning we had an attack on one of my rivals. I told Brooke about it and she was extremely upset that I wasn't taking her along. Soon after my boring meeting with my uncle It was time to get dressed. Brooke was ignoring me and I felt bothered.
"Brooke it's to risky try to understand."
"No leave me alone you don't love me." She says before rushing into the washroom locking it behind her. What have I done? I grab the master key and unlock the door to Brooke sitting by the tub with her face in her palms.
I bend down next to her and stroke her hair. Pregnant woman and there hormones.
"Leave me alone." She says rudely.
"You have to stay here I'm sorry baby."
"With Bradley and then all?"
"No I'm making sure I take Bradley with me. I'm leaving Jackson with you okay?"
"No I want to stay with you please babe?" She says getting frustrated.
"No baby I can't take you it's to risky."
"I don't like you." She says sobbing into her palms. Brooke's almost never cried these pregnancy hormones are changing her.
She hugs me tightly rubbing my back.
"I have to go.. Goodbye kiss?"
She plants her soft plump lips onto mines for a really long time and I kiss back with equal enthusiasm.
"Stop making it so hard to say goodbye." I say my face inches away from hers.
"Then take me with you baby."
I sigh before giving her one last hug. I just don't want to leave her. I kneel down and kiss her baby bump and whisper, "Daddy will be home soon, don't bother your mommy to much without me."
Brooke gives me a smile before I leave and quickly send Jackson up to her room.
Brooke's POV
Jackson and I played so many games I almost forgot Vincent was gone. I hear a knock on the door and Jackson tells me not to open it but I tell him not to worry and that it's probably Vincent. I unlock the door and two men are at the door. I was about to shut it but one of them wedges there foot into the door.
"Vincent sent us to fix the shower."
I open the door and let them in guiding them to the washroom. They lock the door behind them and I try getting past them but I was useless. I had no energy left in me.
"Vincent does have great taste." Says one of the guy.
There's a click at the door and Jackson eyes me telling me that Vincent's on his way he's around the corner.
"Leave her alone." Shouts Jackson.
"Aww is little mamas boy gonna stop us?"
The man pulls the trigger in my direction and Jackson takes the bullet for me directly in his stomach. Vincent was there to witness this. As soon as the man notices Vincent's presence he quickly shoots me in my lower abdomen and tries to escape but Vincent knocks them both out dead with one punch. I feel like I'm losing consciousness and the only thing I remember mumbling was "Is Jackson okay?"
I can't speak or move I felt frozen. Vincent was screaming at the doctor and they quickly took me into emergency. I was soon gassed to sleep and didn't remember much.
When I woke up Vincent was crying next to me.
I felt so weak that I could hardly touch Vincent's face. His eyes dart in my direction and he quickly moves closer to me letting his tears flow wildly.
"How long has it been?"
"Three weeks." He sobs.
"Vincent." I ask nervously.
"Yes baby?"
"Is our baby okay?"
"Thankfully it is yes but you did loose lots of blood."
I sigh in relief before Vincent signs my leave papers. I was assigned bed rest but only one question remained in my head the whole car period. I clear my throat and ask Vincent.
"Is Jackson okay?"
"Yes he's okay he's healed in fact approximately two weeks ago."
I feel relaxed after hearing that. Vincent carries me upstairs to our room and tucks me into bed. Jackson enters instantly rushing in to give me a hug.
"I thought I lost you Brooke." Sobs Jackson emotionally.
"Aww baby that's okay thank you for everything." I say kissing his forehead.
He wipes his tears away and sits down next to me. Vincent was sitting next to me and he was signalling Jackson to give him some alone time with me.
"Brooke." Says Vincent his voice cracking.
"Mmhmm?"
"I'm so sorry I didn't listen to you. From now on I'm never letting you go out of sight you are my everything and I almost lost you for the second time." He says his voice finally breaks as he says the last few lines.
"It's okay don't worry about it."
He slides into my arms cuddling closer to me.
Weeks later my bump is fully formed and I've been getting many kicks and pushes.
I was finally aloud to go to business meetings with Vincent but I had to sit down next to him as if I was a little child.
"Yes Raphael you have to get the, ouch." I say pressing my hand onto my stomach and everybody starts to giggle.
I feel something slide down my leg and gasp at the sight. Vincent looks my way and raises his eyebrows questioning my gasp.
"Vincent?"
"Yes love?"
"I think my water just broke."
