Just an FYI, all of the flashbacks mentioned in this are in Reagan’s POV because that’s how they happened the first time around. Okay, continue reading. (:
Reagan POV
“What do you mean Liam’s going to die? Why is he there in the first place?”
“I don’t have time to ex-.”
“Josh, tell me where all of you actually are right now.”
“Bye, Doll.”
*line clicks*
“Josh? JOSH!”
37 Hours Earlier
“Yeah, I probably deserve it, but that doesn’t mean it hurts any less.”
Trinity rolled her eyes and rested her hands on her 7-months-pregnant stomach. She tried to hide the look of pain on her face when she shifted the wrong way, but I wasn’t blind.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I ju-.”
“Don’t lie, Trinity. What just happened?”
“Fine”, she huffed, “It’s not a big deal, but recently…every time I breathe out, it hurts just a little bit. It’s nothing to worry about.”
The stupidity of this girl.
“Of course it’s something to worry about”, I gently pushed her so she was lying on her back, and that seemed to ease the pain a little bit, “I keep telling-.”
“If you’re going to mention anything along the lines of ‘I keep telling you not to have this baby’, I don’t want to hear it. Reagan, I’m not in the mood to hear negativity right now.”
“It’s not negativity, Trinity. I’m just telling you what’s happening right in front of my eyes. The baby is killing you.”
“Your niece is doing nothing of the sort. I’ll be fine. It’s been happening for a couple of weeks, and I’m not dead. Obviously nothing to worry about.”
“Why haven’t you mentioned anything to Harry?”
“Because I don’t want to see that pitiful ‘I’m going to lose you’ look on his face that always breaks my heart. He’s just as against this pregnancy as you are, so I figure it’s best not to worry him more than he already is.”
“His wife is dying in front of his eyes”, I explained, “I think he’s going to worry regardless.”
Instead of answering, she just turned her head and tried to drown me out. I expected it. Anytime I brought up my niece, she found some way to change the subject. I knew she didn’t want to talk about it, and it was too bad I didn’t really care.
“Why don’t you make yourself useful and tell me more about what’s happening between you and that billionaire?”
I was tempted to talk more about the baby, but I let it go for now. For her sake.
“That’s a short conversation”, I forced a smile, “Nothing. We broke up.”
“Why?”
She was the one person I didn’t want to break the news to. Not just because I knew she’d judge me, but…
“I…”
“You what, Reagan?”
“I slept with Louis.”
