This is for the one shot NLTL competition. This is chapter 41, after Anna figures out she was pregnant. That's the farthest it's got to. Enjoy! And feedback please! Love, Vidz.
Chapter 41
Ashton couldn't know about this. No, that would ruin my whole plan for everything. Being his overprotective, sweet self, he would come back here. But if Carter found him.. Carter would be furious. I bet he already wants to kill Ashton. And this would be the icing on the cake, Carter would kill him.
No, I care about Ashton way too much to not tell him. I can't just live my life, without telling him that I had his kid. I had to tell him. That would be the "right" thing to do.
As I contemplated my choices, my eyes slowly started to droop, and I fell into a deep slumber.
I woke several hours later, the sun coming through my bedroom window. Wow, that was probably the best sleep I've had in a while. As I lazily got out of bed, my dreams slowly came back to me.
A little girl. It was all about her. She had black hair, that tumbled down her back, and bright green eyes, the same color as Ashton's. My husband. There was no Carter to deal with. Just Ashton, me, and our little girl. The perfect life.

I remembered the dream perfectly. Ashton and I were siiting on the couch, as I was holding a tiny little baby boy. He was wrapped up in a light blue blanket, and was deep aslep. I was gazing adoringly at him. My little Spencer. Yes, in my dream, his name was Spencer. Ashton's arm was casually slung over my shoulder, and I cuddled closer to him. Then, a little girl, probably 3 years old, ran towards us, and into Ashton's lap. She had on a little pink dress, with ruffles.
"Daddy, Daddy," the little girl squealed as she sat in Ashton's lap. "Yes sweetheart??" Ashton asked, staring into her eyes. "Can we go to the park?" She asked, holding her shoes out. "Of course. Anything for my favorite," He said, getting up to put her shoes on. Then, she faced me. Her eyes... Bright green. The exact shade of her father's. My husband. Of course.

But, dreams don't come true. Especially for me. But, this dream. It.. felt different. Like, it could actually happen some day. And it maybe could. Once all this madness goes away, Ashton and I could be together, and raise a family. But, that's going to be a long time later.
I threw on a loose fitting baby blue shirt, and some black sweats. Then, I went downstairs to eat some breakfast.
"Morning mom. Morning dad," I said, at the table, kissing their cheeks, before getting a bowl of cereal. Frosted flakes, my favorite.
"Morning sweetheart," They replied. "Any plans for today??"
"Not really, just chilling." I replied, not mentioning the big decision. I would tell them later of that.
We talked for a little bit, then they left. I finished my cereal, and went to the gym. I started running on the treadmill. This usually calmed me down, which I needed to be at the moment. After around 2 hours of jogging, I stop, and relax for a bit. I normally would run a lot longer, but it might not be healthy for the baby. I head upstairs to take a shower. Then, I put some sweats on, and lied down on my bed. I'm so tired. Pregnancy must do that to you.
I woke up, several hours later, to an urgent knock at my door. Woah, I fell asleep?? The person then let himself in. "Anna, come here. Now," The voice commanded. Wait.. Peter?? Or was it Aaron?? Or someone else?? What's going on?? I quickly obeyed, and he dragged me to some part of the house. My mind wasn't fully awake, so I had around no clue as to where I was going. "What......" I tried to ask, but their hand was over my mouth. They grabbed my hands, and duct taped them together. What the fuck????My senses were slowly starting to work, but I wasn't awake enough to do anything about it. "Don't make this difficult," I heard a hard voice in my head. I was then placed into a car. A piece of duct tape was placed over my mouth. WHAT THE HELL?? Where were the "body guards"???? They weren't exactly guarding my body, or doing a good job. I could still see outside the car, but all the surroundings were unfamiliar. Oh shit, he works with Carter?? Instantly, my heartbeat raced up.
Shit, shit, shit! I bet they shot all the guards. "Look, I bet you're wondering who I am, so do you want me to tell you??" The voice said. "What do you think?? Yes I would like to know!!!" I screamed. But, the duct tape made my voice muffled, I making it sound like one big word. I couldn't even see who was driving because a black screen separated us. "Well, I can't tell you. But I'm not going to hurt you. I swear. I've just been ordered to pick you up, and bring you to him. He's been wanting to see you." the person said, apologetically. Who could they be?? It could be Ashton.. I hope it is! But then again, it could always be Carter. I could just hope and pray that it wasn't.
After around two hours, we stopped. "We're here, come on," they said, as they got out of the car. I was fully alert, as the person came to my side, and opened the door. I didn't recognize him. He had blond hair, that was a buzz cut, and brown eyes. He looked pretty buff, so I had no chance at getting out of this. He took the duct tape off my hands, and dragged me inside. "Anna!!!" I heard a voice coming from the other direction. No, it couldn't be. I turned my head, and there he was. The love of my life, my baby's daddy. Ashton. He was there, live in person. But, something didn't seem right. Definitely not right. And, as I ran towards him, I saw it. Johnny. One of Carter's men. He was standing around ten feet away from Ashton. He looked... different, somehow not as evil. He wasn't as cruel as the others, occasionally giving me water and food. But, that wasn't often. Or Carter would have killed him by now.
But, if Johnny was here, that must mean one of other person is close by. Carter.
But, at the moment, none of this mattered to me. All that mattered was that Ashton was here. He had a way of making all my worries go away, and for me to focus all my concentration on him.
"Ashton!" I sprinted towards him, as he was doing the same. Within seconds, he was close enough for me to throw my arms around his waist. And that's exactly what I did. His arms went around my waist, as I threw mine around his waist. I put my head on his chest, and just stayed there. I could feel his hands running through my hair. I could hear his heartbeat, beating as fast as mine. All I wanted to do was spend the rest of eternity wrapped in his arms, standing right here. But, that wouldn't work out. I pulled away, much to Ashton's disappointment. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and stared into his bright green eyes. The eyes I've dreamed about for days.
"I love you, Ashton Taylor," I said, hoping he could forgive me after all I've done.
"I love you more, Annabelle Spencer," He said, staring into my eyes. Then, we moved our heads closer, and our lips connected. The memories of our times, the beach, college, everything, came out into this kiss. Our love would never break, even if we weren't together. It was last an eternity. This kiss was proof.
"Anna, we need to talk," He said, in a stern voice, while pulling away.
"What??" I asked, worried.
"Well. I found something. And I need you to tell me the truth about it...." He said, sounding very sad.. "You're married to Carter??"
Oh shit.
Well.. Hopefully you like it. I had SOO much fun writing it. I hope you like it. And.. If you were wondering... This is for a competition, for the book Nothing Left To Lose. By Kirsty1000. Best book on wattpad, no joke. Well.. There might be one other story that could possibly be better... Boy who sneaks in my bedroom window. Which she also wrote. So pretty much, she's the best author, period. No debate, or questions. Well, I shall stop blabbering. Enjoy, and smile. Love, vidz(:
