NF Imagine

~Part 23- Pregnant and Finally Almost Rapist Arrested

Caroline's POV: I woke up from a seemingly restless sleep. I got up out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I brushed my teeth and got undressed and brushed my hair, stepping in the tub. I turned on the water and waited for it to become warm. I felt my body shiver from the cold air, finally feeling the waters warmth as I turned the shower on. I put my brush down and stood under the water relaxing as my body was covered in it completely. I regress to reach for the shampoo bottle and use it lathering it up in my hair. I closed my eyes suddenly imagining Nate and Brandon in front of me, I furrowed my eyebrows and opened my eyes. I shook my head and continued taking my shower.

~After~

I turned off the shower and opened the closet to get my towel, drying off my body. I cleaned out my brush and got a hold of the hair dryer turning it on a low heat.

I finish drying my hair and go into my bedroom and put my underwear back on and put on a new bra. I walk to my dresser and get out the clothes I want, which are my most comfortable sweatpants and a nice t-shirt with a warm oatmeal colored sweater. I put on my socks and sneakers, leaving my room and going downstairs to eat breakfast.

~Downstairs~

As I sat at the table I heard mom and Sammy coming to the kitchen. He greeted me and then begged me to let him outside. I got up and let him out back and sat back down at the table. Mom got her breakfast too and asked, "Shouldn't you be eating a better breakfast than that?" I looked at her confused for a second and then caught on realizing that I'm pregnant. I got up and made myself some eggs and got myself a bigger glass of milk. I sat back down and said, "Thank you." I finished eating and made a lunch as healthy as possible and went back upstairs to brush my teeth again and used the bathroom again and came back down and told mom I was ready to go to school and let Sammy back inside.

The whole time mom drove me to school I thought of what Nate could be doing right now. I wish that I could call him, but I'm afraid he won't answer because he is too busy.

We finally made it to the school and I said, "Bye mom, I will see you after school." Mom said, "I love you." I smiled and said back, "I love you, too." And I walked in the building while mom drove off.

~ 3 Months Later~

I was almost done school and I could finally persecute the guy who almost raped me. I hoped it would still be a possible case, since my body would have virtually have no evidence anymore. All I had was small bruises left on me and unless he would admit to it, he wouldn't go to jail.

I called Nate to ask him to come home and he said, "My tour is almost over, so I'll be able to come home soon." I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I can't wait for you to come home, you could see how big I got." I could hear the smile in his voice when he replied, "You must be glowing." I smiled back, "Mom says I am." He chuckled, "She knows what she's talking about." I then told him, "I think I should do my homework now, so I don't forget." Nate said, "Alright, I'll let you go, but I'll call later." I responded, "I will be waiting." We said our "I love you's" and hung up letting me get to my homework.

~Later

I got a call from Brandon that said to come to the police station to see the guy with the tattoos. I walked a couple streets to get to the station and stopped at the front doors, reaching towards the handle, my hand shaking. I finally gripped the handle and fast walked into the precinct to find Brandon waiting for me outside the door. He came up to me and said, "They said he's not talking, but I told them if you came in he would understand what this was about and admit to it." I nodded and walked through the doorway and stood there in front of the guy waiting for him to admit it. He asked, "Is it mine?" I looked down at my belly and touch it to realize what he meant. I shook my head and said, "No, it's not, it's my husband's." He looked at me confused, "You're married?" I tried to process that he asked me that question and realized he really didn't know I had already been married. I told him, "Yes, I got married almost a year ago now." He looked dumbfounded and like he couldn't believe that I had been married already. He said, "I don't remember you saying that." I furrowed my eyebrows, "Brandon said I was." He looked at me and said, "I was drunk, do you really expect me to remember something somebody said months ago?" I responded, "When it's somebody you almost raped, I would think you would." He said, "Almost raped." I scoffed, I couldn't believe he just tried to make it seem like he didn't do anything wrong still, just because he didn't actually get the chance to really do it. I tried not to cry, but he made it so difficult to make him understand he hurt me, no matter if he did rape me or not.

I asked, "So, you know you almost raped me, but you thought you got me pregnant?" He groaned and responded, "I'm an idiot, that's why." I chuckled to myself at how he knew that he was too drunk to have recognized me, but knew he only almost raped me. I sighed and kind of felt relieved because he finally admitted he almost raped me.

The detectives came in and one of them walked behind him and said, "Put your hands behind your back." He did as told and I watched him click the handcuffs around the guy's wrist. I sighed again and saw Brandon open the door, and the detectives walked out with my almost rapist. I stood up and walked towards Brandon, suddenly seeing Nate come in the precinct. I fast walked to him and hugged him tightly, feeling him hug back. I rested my head on his chest and I felt him smooth my hair in his hand. He said to me, "Your mom said I would find you here." I nodded and said back, "I got him to admit it, just by him seeing that I'm pregnant." Nate looked at me confused and asked, "He really asked you if the baby was his?" I responded, "Yeah, he automatically asked me and I told him it is yours and he got confused because he didn't know I got married." He scoffed, "That guy is stupid and deserves to be in jail." I nodded and hummed, "Mhmm."

Afterwards, Nate thanked Brandon for being there for me and he nodded towards him and we both left. When we got to the car, Nate smiled at me and said, "You really are glowing, Caroline." I blushed and hid my face saying, "I knew you would notice." He brought my face back to his and told me, "You're so beautiful, how could I not notice?" I blushed even more and grabbed Nate's hand, holding it the whole ride home.
