❝I wanna tell you how
how I feel but I'm scared
of being hurt again, scared
of you not feeling the same
and scared of falling harder.❞

❝What happened?❞
Scarlett's POV
Me and Benedict waited an anxiously for results from the doctor.
My heart was literally wanting to beat out of chest. I couldn't take the tension.
"Scar?" I don't answer him. Instead, I just fiddled with my fingers. "Scar? Honey?" I snapped out of my daze. "Are you okay?"
Benedict was suddenly standing over me and I gasped. "Hey, hey... don't worry. I'm sure the baby is fine." He rubbed my shoulders and I sigh, placing my hand onto his.
"I know but-"
"-but..." He takes a deep breath. "... you're a Mom and you can't help worry about our little baby inside you..." Benedict smiles slightly at me.
"God... you're a mind reader." He shakes his head.
"No..." Walking up to the chair, Benedict slides the chair closer to my bed, and he takes my hands in his. "Do you remember when... El was three and, she hurt her knee?" I nod. "You were worried for hours and I took her to the doctor's. She just scrapped her knee."
I look at him sheepishly. "And how was she?" Biting my lip, I answer.
"Fine..."
"See... honey, it'll be alright, okay?"
"Okay." He plants a kiss on the back of my hand and suddenly, the doctor walks in.
"Mr and Mrs Cumberbatch... I have the results." Benedict squeezes my hand and places an arm around me and await for the doctors mouth to open again.
Was the baby alright? What if it isn't? Did the baby survive the crash? "Your baby is okay." We both exhale sharply and heavily, Benedict pecking my cheek. "You both are okay. We will take some extra tests a bit later and if they're positive, you can go home! I'm just going to update some things and then I'll be back, give me a moment."
The doctor walks out and closes the door behind him.
"Thank God." I bury my face into my hands and Benedict rubs my back.
"See, I told you."
"Come here and kiss me you idiot." He laughs and we kiss for a minute, happy tears falling down our faces.
The door bursts open and giggles fill the room.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Me and Benedict separate, Ella and Christina running up to the bed. "Aunt Tina took us for ice cream." I stroke the girls' head.
"That's amazing! Did you thank her?" They nod frantically.
We all smile and Benedict just stared at me, mouthing 'I love you.' I just smiled.
Then, door opens the door for a moment, but pauses, nurses rushing past him.
I frown, Benedict running after him.
My mind drifted off. What in the hell was happening?
I waited. I waited and waited. And then, Benedict came back in.
"Girls, can you... let me talk to Mommy please." Tina takes the girls out of the room and Benedict shuts the door.
He had the most worried look on face. I didn't know what to expect.
"Ben... what's wrong?"
"I..." My lip starts to tremble.
"You're scaring me." He slowly walks towards me and sits down.
