A Toxic Relationship

Chapter 11

"Here," Dominik said, gently putting the straw up to my mouth.
"Thank you." I whispered. He smiled and then kissed my forehead.
"Anything else?" I shook my head; he pressed his lips together and smiled a little then he got up and walked off without saying another word to me. Thank God, he left me alone I don't want to be alone with him anymore. I took a deep breath and sat up; I need a shower really bad. As I got up, I lost my balance and fell hard onto the ground. 
What the fuck? I tried getting up again, I held on to the dresser for support. After a while of struggling to get up by myself, I slowly regained my strength to walk.
But instead of ending up in the shower I found myself in front of the toilet, throwing up. I began feeling sick again like the days I have been stuck in that cell.
Dominik walked in and actually sounded worried behind me, "Baby? Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, he pulled my hair into a ponytail and rubbed circles on my back gently.  When I tried answering his question, I went straight back to throwing up instead.
When I was finished, I flushed the toilet then, brushed and rinsed the disgusting flavor out of my mouth. Dominik helped me with the shower and took me back to bed then sat down beside me, "Should I call a doctor?" He asked.
"Yes please." I whispered, he nodded and kissed my forehead again while dialing the number for the doctor.

"It's nothing. It's just a reaction to her being pregnant." The doctor informed.
"Alright thank you doctor." Dominik said, shaking his hand. The doctor gave us a small smile and left us. "You should rest." Dominik said, with his arms folded.
"Can I ask something?" I asked.
"You've already did." He said, I rolled my eyes.
"What made you think it's okay to two time me?" I asked. His eyes narrowed.
Dominik came up to me quickly then grabbed my wrists and pulled me close to him. He placed his lips near my ear then whispered in my harshly, "I do whatever the FUCK I want. Understand?" He asked, gritting his teeth. I flinched, thinking that he was going to hurt me again.
I felt tears begin to fall down my face again, it seemed like he noticed and then pulled me in his arms for a hug. "I'm sorry love, I'm just nervous about you and the baby, but you need to stop doing this to yourself, stop pissing me off because this is what you're going to get out of it." He said, once again making himself seem like it's my fault and he didn't do anything wrong. I cannot believe he's blaming this on me.
Everything I do is my fault. All the blame is on me.

9 months later...

As I walked in the kitchen to grab a glass of water, I felt something wet drip down around my middle area.
"Dominik?!" I yelled.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked, coming into the room. 
"I think my water broke." I said, he just sat there and watched me until I felt a terrible pain.
I screamed and held my belly; he wrapped his arms around my waist and helped me to the car.
It was hard to breath; I can already feel sweat run down my temple.
"It's going to be alright. Just breath Scarlett." Dominik said, in a strangely calming tone.
When we got there, I was put in a wheelchair and taken to the emergency room.

"It's a boy." The doctor said smiling and gently handing me my baby, I kissed his forehead lightly grabbed his little fingers. 

"Hi baby, hi, I'm your mommy," I turned to Dominik, "And this is your daddy." Dominik watched his crying son with a facial expression I can't explain. I couldn't tell if he was happy, disgusted, sad, or angry. "You want to hold him?" I asked.

"No, I need to do something. I'll see you when I'm done." He walked out of the room, and I just stared at the door. He left me and his son alone like it's just a normal day, he didn't even dare to touch him. The nurse came over and asked me if she could take him to clean him and I nodded trying to hide my shattered expression. This was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life, but it was ruined by the man I was to marry.

After five days I was finally able to take Jason home but when I walked in the house it was empty, Dominik was nowhere to be seen. Of course I wasn't surprised, he never wanted this child, he never wanted to be a father so soon, maybe I am the villain just victimizing myself which is why I haven't left.  
I set the baby down in his crib, he was fast asleep, "Good night my little prince." I whispered, smiling, I gave him a kiss on his forehead and turned around shutting the door gently behind me. I walked downstairs to do some things around the house before Dominik showed up. A few minutes pass by and I hear the front door open revealing Dominik as he walked in looking like a mess. "Where have you been?" I asked.

"At the bar." He said with a giant smirk.

"You're unbelievable!" 

Before I could blink, I was pressed up against the wall with his body pressing against mine. "Don't make this hard on yourself Scarlett." He growled, I gulped, he let go, I didn't say a word.
He walked into the kitchen where I heard the whiskey bottle being opened. I took a deep breath and walked upstairs refusing to watch him waste away. 

The next morning...

I woke up without Dominik in bed with me. I got up to check if Jason was awake.
The door was opened, I peeked inside the room to see Dominik holding Jason and telling him sweet things. I was going to interrupt because the thought of him still being intoxicated while holding my baby terrifies me, but I just stood there watching to see what he's going to do or say. 
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, well, other than your mother of course. I love your mommy very much." He whispered, he kissed Jason's forehead and spoke again, "I love her so much it scares the shit out of me and because I love her that much I turn into an absolute lunatic. You'll understand when you're my age and fall in love with a woman. It's tough." Jason began to play with his necklace making Dominik chuckled just a little.
I smiled at the image "I just don't know why I keep on hurting her, forgive me for doing so but sometimes when I want to leave, I just can't. Thinking of your mother being with another son of a bi-another man makes me boil," Jason yawned and let go of his necklace, "Anyways, I'll see you in a while my little champ." He said, he gave Jason a kiss on the cheek and set him down.
I walked away quickly before he saw me. Maybe this could work.
