❝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.❞

❝Come back to me, my love❞
Scarlett's POV
I kept feeling the most excruciating pain in my belly. The baby was coming. And it was coming now.
And no, I wasn't ready for it.
But before I knew it, I was rushed into an operating room so that my baby boy could enter the world via a c- section.
I didn't know if I was going to be safe. I just prayed that my baby was going to live.
"Scar, baby, I'm right here." I hear Benedict's voice reassure me by my side. I couldn't see anything when I looked down. Just a sheet. A blue sheet. "I love you baby. You're doing great. He's going to be fine. I know it." He planted a kiss onto my forehead and I squeezed his hand tightly as the pain slowly drifted away.
It was a little numb.
But all I could think about was my baby boy.
"Performing the section now." I hear the doctors and nurses murmur around me as my head spun.
"Our boy is coming..." Benedict whispered and licked his lips.
I smiled a little, since I was drugged up.
And then I heard it.
The screams of my baby boy.
Turning my head, I looked at Benedict- who was crying in happiness. He leant down and pressed his lips onto mine and we laughed lightly. It reflected our relief and happiness in that moment.
Benedict moved our of my view and walked back to me, holding our baby boy. "He's here Scar... God, he's here..." I smiled, sniffling as I watched Benedict hold our baby boy.
But suddenly, I felt weak.
My eyes slowly closed and everything went black. Beeping echoed through my brain and I darted my eyes open.
It was white.
I looked around, uncertain.
However, in the distance, someone called my name.
"Scarlett... Scarlett..." I followed the voice. It got clearer and clearer.
My vision filtered out a man.
A man I had known for a very, very long time.
"P-Paul...?" I whimpered his name.
"Hello sis..." Weeping, I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled my head into his neck. "Sis... Oh Scarlett."
"I-I-I... I never got to say goodbye!" I screamed into his neck and Paul tightened his embrace.
"I know... And I'm sorry I wasn't here to see your baby boy be born." Pulling myself away, I sniffled, wiping away my tears.
"Can't you come back..." He shook his head.
"'fraid not... But you can..." I frown. "He needs you. El, Chrissy... Ben. Your new boy. He will love you forever. I know it." I place my hand onto his cheek, and he presses his palm onto my hand.
"Paul... I love you so much."
"I love you too sis. Now... wake up. Wake up!" I inhale sharply.
"Scar, baby! Scarlett!" I jump up, my eyes suddenly opening, as I gasp for air. I am pulled into a warm embrace. "Oh my... I thought I lost you..." He cupped my face in his hands.
"You'll never lose me Ben... I love you." Benedict searches my eyes and presses his forehead against mine.
"I love you too my love." The tip of our lips touch and he pulls me into a passionate kiss.
