Daniel

(Emily's POV)

I wake up to Daniel not next to me in bed. I sit up, yawning as the sun shines through the window. I then get out of bed, stretching as I start to walk downstairs. I then look to see Daniel, his boxers on, pouring coffee into a cup, "Good Morning Ems!", he says happily. I smile wearily, "Morning", I say softly. Daniel then comes towards me, handing me a cup of coffee, "Thank you!", I say softly. Daniel smiles, kissing my cheek, "How did you sleep?", he asks softly. I sit on the couch, putting my coffee on the coffee holder, "Okay!", I say softly. Daniel smiles, "Did you know, as I was sleeping with you, I felt the baby moving but you weren't waking up which is nice since the baby wasn't keeping you up", he says softly. I nod, "I was just so tired, I feel like I haven't been sleeping since I just found out I'm pregnant", I say softly. Daniel nods, "Well, at least you got some good sleep last night!", he says smiling. I smile, "How early where you up this morning?", I ask softly. Daniel sighs, "I woke up at like 6:30 A.M, I couldn't sleep", he says softly. I then look at the clock on the wall, "It's 9:10 A.M, you've been up for awhile, why couldn't you sleep?", I ask. Daniel sighs, "My mother tried to call me after I went to lay with you but, I didn't answer, she then sent me a threat voicemail", he says softly, cracking his knuckles. I sigh, "What did she say?", I ask scared. Daniel shakes his head, "I don't want you to hear it, don't worry about it!", he says softly. I raise my eyebrows, "Daniel please! I need to know!", I say, begging him. Daniel shakes his head, "No Ems, I don't need you to worry about that, just worry about you and the baby's safety", he says. I sigh, crossing my arms, "I want to know though! You act like I can't do or know anything because I'll have nightmares!", I say annoyed. Daniel sighs, "I'm here to protect you Emily!", he yells out. I stay silent, "I'm sorry", I say softly. Daniel sighs, coming over to me, "I'm sorry Ems", he says softly as he sits next to me. I sigh, "It's fine", I say softly. Daniel sighs softly, wrapping his arm around me, "I love you with all my heart, I don't want my mother killing you and me having nothing!  Your my everything and this baby! If you die, I'll never recover!", he says, tears welling up in his eyes. I sigh, "I understand, I'm sorry", I say softly. Daniel nods, "It's fine", he says softly. We sit in silence for a couple minutes before Daniel sighs, getting up, "I'm gonna get dressed, I'll be back", he says as he walks upstairs. I sigh, "Okay", I say softly. I then sit up, feeling weary and tired, "Maybe I'll take a nap", I say softly. I then lay on the couch and close my eyes, curling up into a ball.

11:00 A.M

"Ems wake up, ", I hear Daniel say scared. I open my eyes, rubbing them, "What?", I ask softly. Daniel looks at me scared, "You need to get up and stay behind me", he says scared. I sit up, tilting my head, "Why? I'm confused", I say softly. Daniel takes my hand, "Please Ems, I'll tell you in a minute but for now, you need to get up", he says scared. I roll my eyes, laying back down, "I'm tired Daniel, this baby hasn't really been nice to me", I say softly. Daniel sighs, "Please Ems, please do it for me", he says, his hand out and shaking. I notice his hand shaking and know immediately something is wrong, "Daniel, are you okay?", I say softly, sitting back up. Daniel shakes his head, "No, get up!", he says scared. I nod, getting up off the couch, "Daniel, I'm confused on what is going on, please tell me!", I say softly. Daniel takes me and puts me behind him, "Stay behind me", he says as he pulls out the gun in the drawer. I cover my mouth, scared for my life now, "Daniel, I'm scared, what is going on?", I ask, my whole body in fear. Daniel loads the gun, pushing me behind him, "Stay behind me", he says again, keeping his hand on my stomach. I get scared, looking to see Daniel aimed for the front door, "Daniel, what is going on?", I ask, fearing for my life. I then look towards the front door to see Victoria come in, holding a gun beside her hip, "Hello son!", she says smirking. I freeze, seeing the gun besides Victoria's hip, "Get out of here! I don't want to see your face ever again!", he yells madly, pointing the gun towards Victoria. Victoria laughs, "You really think you are gonna kill me? I'll kill Emily faster than you can kill me! Divorce her!", she yells madly. Daniel still keeps the gun pointed at Victoria, "I love her Mom! Can't you just accept that!", he yells madly. Victoria sighs, smirking, "Unfortunately, I can't, this woman is a devil! Everything is fake about Emily! She lies about everything!", he yells madly. Daniel shakes his head, "She has never lied to me, we have always been honest with each other!", he yells out. I stand in shock, scared for my life, "Get rid of her and the baby!", she yells out. Daniel keeps me behind him, "I will never stop loving Emily!", he says madly. Victoria then shoots the gun, "Emily! Duck!", yells Daniel. I duck, the bullet flying past me, into the wall, "Emily, run upstairs, now!", yells Daniel. I run past Daniel and run upstairs. I then get shot in the leg, making me fall on the stair step, "Now, time to kill you!", I hear Victoria say. I sit on the ground, scared and unable to get back up due to my leg. I look up to see Victoria point the gun towards me, "Goodbye!", she says with a smirk. I close my eyes, ready to experience the pain. I hear a bang, knowing the gun has been fired but I haven't felt anything. I open my eyes, revealing Daniel on the floor in front of me, "No....", I say, tears forming in my eyes. Victoria gasps, "Daniel!", she yells out and runs over to him, holding his head up. I go over next to Daniel but get a glare from Victoria, "Don't you touch or come near my son!", she says madly. I step back, tears flowing down my cheeks, "Please Daniel, Please be alive", I say softly. Daniel then opens his eyes, "Guys, I'm fine! Mother, get out of my house", he says softly. Victoria pushes back Daniel's dark hair, looking into his eyes, "I'm not leaving you, you need to be taken to the hospital", she says sadly, crying. Victoria then looks up at me, "You did this! Your monster!", she yells. I fume with hurt and anger, knowing this is Victoria's fault, "How is this my fault?", I ask softly. Victoria sniffles, helping Daniel to his feet, "He tried to save you, he went in front of the bullet, he all did this for you! Your the one that made him do it!", she says madly, carrying Daniel out the door. I sigh softly, going out the door behind Victoria. Victoria turns around, "I don't want you at the hospital you pathetic girl! Stay away from Daniel and I!", she says madly as she puts him in the car, getting into the driver's seat. I sigh, tears flowing down my cheeks as I see Victoria head to the hospital. I go back inside the house, locking the door and sitting on the couch. I cry, feeling broken inside. I cry for awhile, curled up in a ball in the corner of the couch. I then think about it, "If Daniel doesn't make it, this baby won't have a father", I think to myself. I then realize, I do need Daniel. Daniel has always helped me and always took care of me. I cry even more, wishing Daniel was here to tell me it would be okay, to comfort me, to help me in a situation like this. I eventually feel tired and fall into a deep sleep.

(Victoria's POV)

I wait in the waiting room, waiting for news on Daniel, "Mrs. Grayson?", I hear the doctor call out. I stand up immediately and fast-walk towards the doctor, "Is Daniel okay?", I ask softly. The doctor sighs, "I have some bad news", he says sadly.
