How to steal a heart: 2 [COMPLETE]✔️

Chapter 20

It's been fours months since I kissed Charles, and today was the day I was going to go back home. I didn't want to stay with Charles or Ben since he moved here to look after me, he's been texting me and calling but I just can't get over the fact that he made me choose between my son and him.

I was done with choosing between the things that makes me happy and what others want. I was thinking about this when we were getting ready to leave the hospital. "Hey hey, what are you doing Ms. Blake, that doctor said that you could rest for a couple more hours before we leave, so go back in the bed." I stood there and put my hands in my hips.

"I am fine, and in case you forgot I'm a doctor too, and resting isn't just my thing, I have a lot of things to do." He walks up to where I was standing and grabs my hand, "Like what exactly?" I pulled my hand back, "Like getting back to Elijah, and getting to see Noah." He puts his hand on my check and it felt so nice, I haven't left his hands like this since that night. "Hey, I might not know what you're feeling right now, but we will help you get Elijah back, the boy is just like you, a fighter." I smile, "We?" I questioned. "You know me, Josie, Elizabeth, Finn,-" he was about to go on but I cut him short, "Okay you don't have to name everyone, I get it." We both shared a laugh.  It felt nice having him here.

Hours later

"We're home." He yells. Right then, we hear little feet getting louder and louder in our direction. Noah comes running from upstairs with Josie behind him. "Mommy." I smiled and hugged him so tight, "Who's mama's little prince?" He points to himself and I hugged him again. "He really missed you." I hear Josie say. "And where's daddy's hug huh?" Charles asks. He quickly runs up to his father. I love seeing how close Noah and Charles are.

"Why don't we put this little monkey to bed." "But I no tired?" He's so cute trying to actually speak normal. "Hey, how about I read a bed time story to you?" Said Josie trying to get Noah off of Charles. "No." He said making a face. "What, and who taught you how to say no little man?" We all laugh, "How about I read you a story?" He nods and I get him off of Charles so we can head upstairs. Charles pulls my arm right before we go up. "Are you sure? I can do it." He says "It's okay, really." I simply replied. He nods and let's me and Noah go upstairs to his new room.

When we get upstairs we walk two doors down the hall, we enter his bedroom with the light baby blue walls. "Okay tiger time to sleep." I put him in his bed while I sat down in front of him. "Tell me a story." He says, "Okay......do you want me to tell you why I named you Noah?" He nods, "When mommy was still young and this was way before I had you...... I met a kid named Noah, he had helped me with something." I ran a hand though his hair. "How did he help you mommy?" "Mommy was in a bad place, and I was hurt very badly. So he helped me." "Can I meet him mommy?" I smiled just remembering how Noah died.!"No..... Because he is in heaven." "Why?" He asks, "Because some very very bad people that were after me got to him first, but Noah, he was always trying to make me laugh, so in his honor I decided to name you Noah." "Is he with Grandma?" I nodded, "Yes, he is. Now you need to promise me that you will go to sleep okay tigger?" He nods and laughs too, "I love you." I kiss his forehead, "Love you too." He reply.

As I was closing the door behind me when I saw Charles standing there. "I didn't know." By that I think he heard what I told Noah. "What happened to him?" "She not a he." I say. He looks at me surprised, "God I'm kidding. But you should see the look on your face though. Loved it." "Very funny." "I know."

He grabs my arm making me turn around facing him. We just looked at each for a few minutes until he kissed me. Now I wasn't gonna let him go that easily, I kissed him back. We continued like that as we walked backwards to his bedroom, as we entered, he carries me to the bed. As I was kissing Charles all I can think about was, can we forget about this the next day?
