Saving Her

Chapter fifteen ~ Kittens, friends, and swollen feet

Chapter fifteen

“Why was there a business card for an abortion clinic in your wallet?” I asked between my cries. Grayson’s eyes grew wide before he pulled me closer and tried to sooth me more. I shoved his hands off and tried to get out of bed. Grayson took full advantage of my fatness and pulled me back to him.

“Baby, it’s not what you think.” He said.

I pulled away from him and wiped my tears and I held onto the nightstand so I could get up. “That’s what they all say!” I yelled.

Grayson was up and in front of me in a flash. His hands wrapped around my upper arms as he tried to stop me from leaving the room. I couldn’t look in his eyes as I felt the tears pour out. I had tried not to think about the business card throughout the night, and I guess when we laid down I couldn’t stop myself from asking. Now I found myself shoving Grayson away from me as I wobbled down the stairs. He hadn’t bothered following after me even as I slammed the front door shut and got into my car. I pulled on the extra shirt I had in the car before driving off to my dads house.

When I knocked Aunt Kaity answered the door, and she frowned at me before letting me in.

“What happened?” She asked.

“Not that you care, I’m just upset.” I growled.

“Why wouldn’t I care?”

I shrugged at her before waddling as fast as I could to my brothers room, where he let me sleep in his bed, cradled in his arms.

Dad was sitting on the edge of the bed when I woke up, and he frowned at me.

“Grayson called, he’s been looking for you baby.” He whispered.

“I don’t want to see him right now.”

“Why not?”

“Because he had a business card for an abortion clinic in his wallet!” I explained.

“Ara you’re my little girl, and I would never let anything bad happen to you. I think you should let him explain.” Dad said.

“No. I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m scared of what he’ll say.” I admitted.

“Princess, if he’s done anything wrong, he doesn’t deserve you or these babies. Go talk to him.” Dad ordered.

I got up with a sigh and waddled down stairs. Aunt Kaity tried to stop me from leaving, but I pulled away from her and got into the truck.

Grayson met me outside when I pulled up to the house, and he helped me out of the car. I was pressed against the door and he kissed me. It was passionate, hot.

“I only let you leave last night because I thought you wanted some space. You were so upset, I didn’t want to hurt you.” Grayson began. “That business card is only in there because my sister gave it to me. She loves you, and she’s happy for us. She just wanted us to have another, safe, option no matter what we chose. She knows how hard it is to raise a baby, and she thinks we should wait. I just forgot it was in there baby, I swear. I didn’t tell you about it because I didn’t want you to think I don’t want this, because I do want this. It’s a lot sooner than I thought it would be, but I wouldn’t change a thing. Please don’t hate me, and I’m so sorry you thought it was something else.”

I was silent for a few minutes before I kissed him again, this time my hands wound around his neck, and pulled at his long hair. He growled softly at me before lifting me up kissing me harder. I moaned loudly and started to take his shirt off him when a throat was cleared.
