Between Enemy Lines

Chapter Thirty Four

Eliza assumed Bray went to go work out with Braun, what she didn't know was that Bray was working on getting Noah back. He gave her two hundred dollars worth of spending money and she took off with Becky. Becky wanted to know how she was doing.

"Hey Eliza... How are you feeling?"

"Better than last night that's for sure."

"I never heard from you last night. I didn't know if Bray got through to you or not."

"He did... and a lot has happened since last night."

"What all did he say to you that calmed you down?"

"Well... he told me that he loved me."

"No way... you don't think he said it just to calm you down do you?"

"Well... it did help me calm down, but I could tell... he really meant it. And I love him... He just held onto me until I calmed down. He told me something about his past... he killed a guy... it freaked me out at first, but the only reason why he did it was because the guy killed someone that he loved. He was going to purpose to his girlfriend and the guy killed her right in front of him. Bray was never caught for killing the guy, but really he was only defending himself so he wasn't really in the wrong... He's just had a hard time connecting with women. I'm pretty much the only woman he's dated since his girlfriend was killed... He wanted to start a family, and his whole world was taken away from him... It's not easy to love someone after something like that happens. The pain lasts for a while. So... I guess that's why Bray and I connect so easily... we've both been through a lot of pain in life. We're here for each other... I don't know what I would do without him... especially last night. I was going to call you last night to let you know that I was ok, but I really needed Bray last night... he kept me busy."

Becky laughed and playfully puched her arm.

"Yeah... I'm sure he kept you really busy."

"Is that all you got from all of that?"

"No... I heard you talking about the part where Bray's girlfriend was killed right in front of him... That's so sad... It makes sense now how he's so good at portraying his character... because it isn't a character at all. He's playing off of real emotions."

"And last night, I told him that there was a chance that I could be pregnant... I wasn't sure because it was just a store bought test... so we went to see a doctor earlier... I am really pregnant."

"Wow... what do you think about that?"

"I don't really know what to think... it's kind of just stressing me out honestly... losing Noah and then finding out that I'm pregnant, I wasn't really all that good at being a mom in the first place... otherwise I would still have Noah. I just feel like I'm replacing him... he thought it was his fault for being taken away. I'm just so afraid that I'm going to lose this baby just like I did Noah... I miss him so much."

Becky brought Eliza in for a hug.

"Oh... well you have to remember... you're not alone this time, you have Bray right? How did he react to the news?"

"Oh he seemed so excited. He wouldn't stop kissing me."

"Aw... see, the two of you are perfect for each other, Bray wants to be a dad so bad."

"He said it didn't matter that Noah had a different birth father, if Noah were still here, he said he would love him and the baby the same."

"This is what you needed to take your mind off of things."
