Savior

Proposals and Familar Faces

I wake up in the bed and can smell something amazing being cooked down stairs. Right on cue my stomach rumbles really loud and I let out a chuckle. I swing my legs over the side of the bed and reach for my phone on the night stand when I see a note. I pick it up and start reading.

Dear Rose,
I have left you a dress I bought, along with some shoes. Please shower and get dressed and meet me out back. I love you.

I smile to myself and go to the bathroom and take a quick shower. I run the razor over my legs and stop. I look at the scars and my stomach turns. My heart sinks and tears begin forming at my eyes. How could I have done that to myself?

"I will do better. I will be better. For you." I whisper, rubbing my belly. A tear falls from my face and I put the razor back up and wash my face. I finish the rest of my shower and get out. Wrapping the towel around me, I walk to the sink and pull out everything I need to do my hair. I blow dry it, then straighten it, adding some loose curls to give it volume. I put on my lip gloss and then dry my body off, tossing my towel to the hamper.

I walk to the closet and on the door is a nice black dress. I let out a small smile and giggle. I'm excited to see what Andrew has planned.

I slip the dress on and it fits me in all the right places. Hugging my curves perfectly. You can even see my little baby bump starting to show. I place my hands on my belly and rub it. I let out a big sigh and bend over, slipping my shoes on and heading down stairs.

"Andrew? Babe?" No answer. Hmm. That's weird. I walk to the kitchen and he isn't in there. Not in the living-room. I walk to the back door and Goose appears at the door. I open the door and can smell the food.

I start heading into the garden when I see lights. Andrew appears from the walk way and my breath catches in my throat. He is in a all black tux. He got a hair cut and shaved. He looks absolutely handsome. I look him in the eyes and there's a sparkle to them.

"Come here," he says motioning me over with his hand. I smile lightly and walk towards him. I grab his hand and he begins walking me further into the garden. We round a turn and my heart drops. There's fairy lights everywhere. Rose petals are on the ground. There's a small table in the middle with two meals placed nicely on either side. The walkway is lit up by lights. I placed my hand over my heart and try to catch my breath.

"Rose are you okay?" Andrew asks.

I nod my head and wipe my tears from my face. "It's beautiful Andrew."

He squeezes my hand and walks me to the table. He pulls out my chair and I sit, then he sits in his seat. I look at the plate of food and admire it. There's a steak with vegetables and fried rice. My favorite. I reach across the table and grab his hand.

"This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me. Thank you. I love you so much."

"I love you too. You deserve the world Rose." He says smiling at me. "Let's eat."

We dig in and start eating. We talk throughout dinner about how his job is going. Since he quit the business he was in, he hasn't decided what he wants to do with his life. Right now he's a UFC coach. We talked about the kid he's training now and how he wish he could still fight. We finish eating and fall into a comfortable silence.

Andrew stands up and walks to me and gets down on one knee. He places his hand on my belly and kisses it. He looks up at me and kisses me. I savor the kiss but he pulls away too soon, causing me to frown.

"Rose, you are the love of my life. I knew it 3 years ago. I knew it 3 months ago. You are the last person I want to see when I go to bed and the first person I want to see when I wake up in the morning. When I'm with you, I can't think straight. The love I have for you is something so powerful and real. I've never felt like this before. You mean the world to me. You are my world. So I'm asking you, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" He finishes as a single tear slips from his eye and rolls down his face.

I look down to his hands and he's hold and small black box with a ring in it. It's a simple band with one big diamond in the middle. My breathing catches in my throat and I begin to cry.

"Y-Yes" I choke out. He lets out a breath and smiles really big. I hold my hand out and he slide the ring onto my finger. A perfect fit. He engulfs me in a hug and kisses my lips. I deepen the kiss and pull him closer to me at the same time. We break apart and he sweeps me off my feet and begins carrying me inside. I let out a yelp and giggle.

We walk through the door when the door bell rings. He lets out a big huff and sets me down. We walk to the door and open it.

"Ethan?" I say and place my hand on my belly, rubbing it.

Ethan looks at me and down at my belly. Then looks at Andrew. Andrew raises an eyebrow.

"How'd you get past the guard?" Andrew asks. I swallow a lump in my throat and look at Ethan. He's wearing a white dress shirt and black slacks. The shirts has blood stains all over it.

"I killed him." Ethans says flatly, shrugging his shoulders.

"What?" Andrew shouts. "You think you can just come over here and kill my guard and I'm going to welcome you with open arms?"

Ethan smirks. He looks at me. Something dark flashes in his eyes and my eyes widen. Ethan pulls out a gun and points it directly at Andrews head.

"Ethan. Please don't. Let's talk." I beg.

"You didn't want to talk a few weeks ago. What's changed? I see you got a little big there. You pregnant? Of course you are. You're such a whore. Make me fall in love with you just so you could be with this," he says motioning to Andrew.

"That's right. I did. So point the gun at me." I say.

"No!" Andrew shouts and goes to step towards Ethan. Ethan whacks him with the butt of the gun and knocks Andrew out. I let out a scream and take off running to the stairs. Ethans arm wraps around my waist and he yanks me back, throwing me on the floor. I start to scoot back and he slowly follows.

"Please don't hurt me" he mocks. "You broke my heart Rose. So now, I'm going to break yours." He says raising the gun and pointing it at Andrew. Goose runs in and grabs ahold of Ethans arm as the sound of a gun rings throughout the house. My dress starts to feel wet and I look down. I touch my fingers to my belly and lift them to my line of sight. Blood. I begin to scream and scoot towards the living-room. I go to the book shelf and find the button Andrew told me about and push it.

Alarms are blaring and the whole house is flashing. Goose lets go of Ethan and runs out the door. Ethan looks at me and his face pales. His eyes lower to my belly and he drops to his knees.

"Rose-"

"Get out." I wheeze out. My vision begins to blur and I can't really see anything.

"Stay with me Rose" I hear Ethan say.

"This is why I chose him." I say, opening my eyes a little wider so I can look at him. He's crying next to me with my hand in his.

"I'm so sorry Rose. I don't know what I was thinking." he chokes out.

"You weren't thinking. You're from the mafia. You act out mafia style. You just did what I've been trying to do for 3 years. Get myself shot." I say chuckling, pulling my hand out of his. He lets out a sob and starts rubbing his eyes.

"Tell Andrew if it comes to a choice, choose the baby." I say coughing. My eyes became heavier and Ethans voice became quieter as I drifted off.
