Stay. | Book 2

Chapter 1

Elena's POV

My mom helps me up the porch steps and into the house.

Calum has Elizabeth's hand in his right hand and Thomas in his carrier in his left hand.

"Thomas is sleeping so I'll just take him up stairs and lay him in the crib." Calum says.

I nod, "Alright, that's fine." A small smile plays on my lips.

"Mom can you help me upstairs? I wanna lay down." My back is so sore from laying on that damn hospital bed.

My mom leads me into my bedroom and I make my way to my bed and cover myself up. It feels so good to be in my own bed.

Calum's POV

I gaze down at Thomas sleeping in my arms. He stirs slightly in his sleep, his eyes squeezed shut. He's perfect.

"Daddy?" Elizabeth's small voice whispers from the doorframe.

I look up at her and smile, "Hey, baby girl." I say quietly. "Come here," I gesture towards me, "Come see your little brother."

She hesitantly walks towards me and exams the baby. "He's little." She says, still in a whisper.

"I remember when you were this little." I tell her and she looks at me with her eyes widened slightly.

"I wanna hold him." She says, holding out her arms.

"Not yet, baby girl." I shake my head at her, "He's sleeping right now. Wait till he's awake." I smile at her.

She nods an scurries out of the room.

"He's beautiful." I hear Elena's voice come from where Elizabeth just ran out off.

She walks towards the crib and takes a seat on the other rocking chair.

"Yeah, he really is." I nod.

There was a silence for a while. We just sat there and gazed at the beautiful baby that we created.

"So," I finally say, "I was thinking that weekends I could get Elizabeth and Thomas."

She gives me a puzzled look. "Wait, what?"

"Weekends," I repeated, "I thought that that's when I should get the kids."

She runs her hands down her face in annoyance and exhales. "Your kidding me right?" She whispers harshly at me for Thomas' sake.

"Can I talk to you?" She grabs my forearm aggressively and pulls me out of the baby's room before I could answer her.

"Elena, listen," I begin but she cuts me off.

"No, Calum! You listen," she begins, "I have put up with enough shit and I'm done. Okay? This is our family. OUR. Me and you did this together. We made this and you can't just throw away all that we've been through. What's our kids gonna think when they're older and asking how come mommy and daddy don't live together? I grew up without a dad Calum and guess what? It fucking sucked. My life was ruined because of him and I don't want my kids to have to go through that. So either your with me or your not but I'm not doing this whole weekend weekday shit. I want you to know that I love you and have never loved anyone as much as I love you and I will never stop loving you. You were my first, well, everything. You make me happy and I don't see myself with anyone besides you. I don't understand how you can't see that. I love YOU, Calum. I'm sorry that you hate me." She finishes, basically out of breath.

Her words hit me like a brick wall.

She's right.

Elena's POV

He grabs both sides of my face in his hands and pulls me to him, our lips moved together roughly and then it turned into something more romantic.

I pulled away first.

"What was that for?" I ask.

"I'm sorry, Elena.." He says, "I don't even know why I'm mad anymore. I don't hate you and I never did I was just hurt. You are my world...that may seem cliche but it's true. I don't see my future without you and our little family." He pulls my lips to his again and they move together in sync.

"I love you, Elena." He says against my parted lips.

When he pulls away, there's a large smile playing on his lips. "But we really need to talk about getting you on birth control." I hit his chest playfully and he grabs my hand and pulls me into his chest and hugs me tight.

A/N:

Hey everyone! Calum and Elena are back together! :D I realize that I have been M.I.A. these pasts weeks but I needed some time to fix things...I needed to get my head straight and figure things out for myself because I realized that the only person that can save me is myself. But I got good news! I've been clean for one week (:

So recently I decided to get my shit together and I'm now passing all my classes, I haven't purged or relapsed, I am healthy and I'm now I'm a absolutely perfect relationship that I thought I would never find and I'm living proof that anyone can find light when all there is is darkness.

If anyone is struggling with suicide, depression, bulimia, anything just know I am always here to talk and I will never judge you because I know what it's like.

I love all my readers and I'm thankful for every single one of you (: ❤️
