Jardin de fleurs || A Les Misérables Fanfic

Vingt-cinq

His behavior was weird. So suspicious. What if he met up with another woman? No, we wouldn't do that. He said he loved me. So here I was, standing in the kitchen. I cleaned up the mess I made and I started to feel nauseous again.

I looked down and stroked the tiny baby inside me. Then I heard a noise coming from the door. I went to open it and Enjolras fell to my feet. He looked at me. "Oh, Bonjour Madame, I didn't know you were here.", he said, laughing out of embarrassment.

I didn't laugh, I just looked at him with a serious expression. "What are you doing at Courfeyrac's door?", I asked. "I was just passing." "Mhm, yeah sure. Come inside but please don't fall.", I said. He nodded and walked inside. After closing the door behind him, he looked at me like a little child who was guilty of something.

"Spit it out. What are you doing here?", I asked, slowly losing my patience. Ever since I got pregnant, my hormones have gone all over the place. "Courfeyrac told me to make sure you didn't follow him." "Why? What is he hiding?", I snapped.

"He is—." "He's where?", I asked. "I don't know." "Did he find a younger girl? Is he cheating on me? He's being secretive and I want to know where my husband is.", I said. "Listen, I am not in the position to tell you." "So he cheats on me?", I asked, raising my voice. Enjolras flinched.

"Emilia, I do not know that. All I know is that you're scaring me.", he said. I calmed down. I felt bad for Enjolras. "I am sorry Enjolras. I am not myself recently." "Yeah I figured." "Hey, I heard that!" He raised his hands in defense.

"You see, my hormones are all over the place at the moment. Courfeyrac and I are expecting our first child and I am just worried. I feel like a bad wife. I left my husband for 14 years, on his own, and now I am back and so many things happen now.", I ranted.

"First of all congratulations. And I know what you're thinking but if it makes you feel better, I saw Courfeyrac leaving with Combeferre and Jehan.", he said. "You're right, it does make me feel better." "Unless—." "Unless what, Enjolras?", I asked. "Unless they took him to a pub. His usual place.", he said.

"And where's that?", I asked. "Em." "Don't 'Em' me! Tell me where Courfeyrac is.", I demanded. "You for sure are a demanding queen." "I saved your life. Now show me to my husband.", I said.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We reached the pub. And Enjolras was right. A lot of men were sitting there watching women dance. And there he was at the bar. A girl was dancing in front of him but he payed no attention to her. I walked up to him. "Hey, girl, that's my customer.", the woman yelled. "Hey, this is my husband. No fuck off.", I said with the sweetest voice I could. I hated swearing but I wasn't in a good mood.

"Món chérie, what are you doing here?", he asked. "I could ask you the same thing.", I said. "Emilia, Combeferre, Jehan and I went to get something. Then we went here to drink. They went to the bathroom.", he said. And in that moment, Combeferre and Jehan came out of the bathroom.

"Oh, bonjour Madame.", Jehan said. "I was worried about you.", I said. "Oh món chérie, why would you worry about me? I told you I was with them.", he said. "We shouldn't speak here about this.", I said.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We were home and things escalated quickly. "So you don't trust me? Say it! I do not know with how many men you slept while I wasn't there!", he yelled. "I never slept with anyone else except for you! And I do trust you! But you're so secretive. How do you think I feel?", I yelled back.

"Well neither did I. But you don't trust me and that hurts. I am so sorry that I married you. I regret it so much now.", he snapped. Then it went silent. That one went deep. "What? So you regret being married to me?", I asked broken. "Emilia, I didn't mean to—." I pushed him away. "Go away from me.", I said. He was hurt.

I turned around and walked out of the door. I ran away from home. It feels like my history is repeating itself. He followed me but he didn't catch up with me. At some point I reached the Café. I was crying and out of breath. "Emilia, what happened?" "Courfeyrac said he regrets marrying me. We had a fight and I cannot stay there tonight.", I said crying.

She rushed me into my old room. I put on a nightgown. Then I took of my wedding ring. It hurt a lot. Then I went to sleep.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was tossing all night on. Something was telling me that I overreacted. He was right. I was horrible. Out of regret of even taking it off, I put my wedding ring back on my finger. Then I looked at it. It had something engraved. It were some roman numbers. It wasn't until later, when I realized it was the date of the day we met.

I loved him. But he said he regretted marrying me. I looked over to the mirror, seeing something that wasn't in my room. It looked familiar. Like Grantaire.
"Bonjour Madame. Or do I say good evening? Good night? Ah fuck it. Hello!", he said. "'Taire. It's so good to see you.", I said, stepping closer to the mirror.

"How are you? How is Enjolras? How is my love? Is he still grieving? Although it's been a year.", he said. "R, it's been 14 years. Not a year. My father is dead and France is a Republic.", I told him. "Courfeyrac is crying. He is sitting in bed and crying. Why are you here?", he asked.

"Because he said he regretted marrying me.", I said. "Ugh, Courfeyrac is such a bad liar. Emilia, he isn't cheating on you. He's actually planning something for  you. You'll love it.", he said. "How do you know?" "I see everything. I see you guys and I could tell you what your baby will be."

"You can see that?" He nodded. "Is it a boy?", I asked. "Do you want me to spoil?", he asked laughing. I laughed and nodded. "alright."

(A/N: uhhh cliffhanger. What do you think the baby will be? Also 'taire is somewhat back 🎉 and Joly might come around some time too. Anyways, I hope you like it. ♡)
