~3 months later~
"How's the baby cooking in there mama?" Emma laughed.

I smile back.
"They are doing good. Definitely giving me a run for my money." I laugh.

We were just finishing moving over Liam and I's stuff into the house.

"Oh I really hope you have a girl!!" Emma squeals.
"I know!! Me too! I'd be so happy for a boy but I've always wanted a little girl first. Plus I can't lie I don't want another male running this legacy."

I rub my bump that is slowly forming.

"I gotta sit for a second I'm not feeling too well. The morning sickness has been rough lately." I sigh.

I was 3 months pregnant, with Liam's child. It's been a rollercoaster of feelings. Mostly depressed but I'm trying to make the best of it. I wanted a little bundle of joy of my own, but not Liam's. It was a hard pill to swallow.

Liam and I still weren't on the best of terms. We were about the same. He was trying to be nicer and more touchy. Sometimes I didn't mind it, that is when I felt sick and wanted to be coddled. Part of me tried to convince myself that I could be happy here. You know have a baby with the person who kidnapped me, raped me and is now an escaped convict. It was hard to convince myself though. To think I would be bearing his child into the world...

I ran to the bathroom and threw up the banana I had earlier. I couldn't really stomach much else. Not long after Liam comes to my rescue.

I feel him kneel beside me and rub my back.
"Not feeling too great this morning?"
"No." I sigh.
I flush the toilet and rinse my mouth out.
Liam pulls me into him and hugs me tight. He pulls away and rubs my bump.

"Hi baby." He laughs.
"You're gonna be such a good mama, a hot one at that." He winks.
I playfully smack his chest.

"When's the doctor coming?"
"At the end of the week."
"Can you make sure they bring the paint we want? Emma and I are going to paint the nursery." I smile.

"Of course love." I'm going to move the rest of the boxes upstairs

"Ok." I smile.
He kisses my lips and I kiss him back.

Since I told him I was pregnant. They all thought aka Liam, Ryan and Andrew decided it would be best for us to be close. So baby to be and Ella could be close. It was nice to not have to see Andrew all the time, although I felt bad for Liz.

A boat came every week delivering groceries. Now every few weeks the doctor comes too to check up on the baby.

The dynamic is weird with Liam and I. We will have those good moments but then there is the ones where we fight and I'm repulsed by him. I never really knew how to feel around him. I missed my family. I missed Chase. Part of me tried to push Chase out of my brain. I still loved him but as the time passed on and I haven't been found... it's hard to think about him. I'm having a child with someone else. What if he hates me? I talk to Emma from time to time about it. I feel like a terrible person.

"When's the baby coming?!" Ella shrieked with laugher.

She was playing tag with Ryan. She ran over to me and gently kissed my stomach. She was fascinated that a baby was growing in my stomach. Ryan was a surprisingly good dad. It felt weird to say.

~3 months ago~
I ran down the steps and pulled Emma into the bathroom. The 2 idiots still drunk and stumbling upstairs.

"Emma!" I cry.
"Woah,woah what's wrong?"
"When he you know.. he didn't use a condom. I haven't gotten my period in a month!" I cry.

I can tell Emma is panicking too but doesn't want to show it.

"Ok well you know sometimes periods can be late because of stress, you've been going through a lot lately." She nods like she's trying to convince herself.

"I've barley eaten and any time I do I throw it up. I thought it was from being so depressed but now I know.... I'm pregnant Emma! What do I do?! I can't have a baby with Liam! I need to get home and marry Chase." I sob into my arms.

She gives me a half hug with Ella still in her arms. That's when I look at Ella. Emma went through the same thing I did. She has been in my place before too. She survived, I could too.... couldn't I?

The next few days were uncomfortably awkward. Liam thought I was upset because the little fight we had and the fact that Ella saw. In reality I was just to nervous to talk to him. I didn't want to tell him I was pregnant. With his baby. I didn't even know for sure but still..

I thought when I got pregnant that it would be amazing. I'd tell Chase in a cute way, we would tell our families, have a gender reveal. Everything would be perfect. This is far from perfect.

I held my stomach with the most likely growing baby inside of me.

"I'll protect you baby." I whisper.

That night Liam asked if I needed any groceries. I knew this was the time.
"Uh yes just one thing."
"What is it?" He looks up from the pen and paper.
"Um.. well I need a pregnancy test." I bite my lip nervously.

He writes it down and then stops.
"Wait. A pregnancy test?! Are you? You're pregnant?!" He jumps up and down with excitement.

"I don't know yet...it's not for sure." I mumble.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.

"Oh Avery this is so amazing! We are going to have a baby together! Do you want a boy or a girl!" The words running right out of him mouth.

I just faked him a smile taking in the cruel reality.






GUYS. Another chapter out today🤩 so Avery is pregnant. I liked how I did this chapter( not trying to brag) I like how I did the 3 months in the future then we did the 3 months ago. I think I'm gonna pick the next chapter off with the 3 months ago. I think it will highlight everything better. Also I have to say I'm just at a loss for words. You guys make me so so happy. I always read stories and always wanted to craft one of my own but never had the guts to do it. Around this time last year I began to read more on here again and then I was like screw it. I'm just going to write for myself on here. I hoped to have some readers of course but I was just doing it for me. I hated where the book was going, so I kept the title and the characters(while adding some new) and I changed the plot of the story. BOY I am so happy I did!!! I love where this story has gone!! Anyways I keep blabbing 😅what I am trying to say is thank you thank you thank you for your support on this book!! It makes my day seeing the comments and the votes and hearing your thoughts😇keep on reading and I'll keep on writing❤️ sending you all my love readers🙃🙃

Ps. I got a bad assignment at work so I've had all this time to write😅😅
