When I walked into their room I gave Kat Devyn and Jillian a look, telling them it was okay to leave. Once they did I shut the door and looked at Erin, she was facing away from me, not wanting to see her
J- Erin look at me
I got a few sniffs as a response and no movement but then she slowly turned around, when I saw how big her belly was already it blew my mind. But I guess it all makes since now, the big clothes, getting sick, avoiding contact with everyone but Colby, I don't know how I didn't put this together sooner.
J- Erin, I'm not mad, I promise
I grabbed her hands and pulled her into me, wrapping my arms around her I kissed the top of her head and let her cry.
About 30 minutes passed by and we had just sat down and talked, it was nice. We never really get to do this anymore especially not in the past year. As we were talking Erin occasionally grimaced or would have to change how she was sitting, just as I was about to ask if she was alright there was a soft knock at the door and Colby peered his head in
C- everything okay?
J- well..
E- ya
Erin cut me off, but right away put her head down and was gasping
J- what's happening?
Colby rushed to Erin and kneeled down in front of her
C- hey, it's okay
She put her hands on her stomach and was trying to control her breathing
J- what's wrong? Is she okay?
C- help her lay down I'll be right back
And with that he got up and left the room
I immediately got and and stood in front of Erin, holding her hands as I helped her lay back, once she was down she turned on her side keeping a tight grip on my had I heard Colby in the hall and after a few seconds he came into the room with a heating pad
Colby pov
After I got Erin set up with the heating pad her cramps seemed to be getting better and she was out cold
J- what was that
I waved him over to the door then walked downstairs and into the living room
I figured Jake and I should have a sit down at this point
C- she get cramps and these stomach spasms, usually that catch her off guard but she's been able to feel them coming a few times... Listen Jake, I'm really so-
J- don't apologize Colby, it's okay
C- I just don't know what we're gonna do man
J- take it day by day
Jake and i talked for the better part of an hour and a half, we both looked up when we heard something in the other room
J- what was that?
C- it sounded like it came from Jillian's room
I got up in fear of something being wrong and made my way to her room with Jake close behind me
C- Jillian? It's Colby and Jake, open up
I started banging on the door when I heard her crying
J- Jillian we're coming in
Jake yelled
When we opened the door Jillian stood in front of her mirror sobbing, she had a tank top on and you could see bruises in the shape of hand prints and fists.
J- hey it's okay
Jake pulled her into his arms and shushed her
J- can you go get Erin
I nodded and left the room and headed upstairs.
I got to my room and opened the door to find her awake
E- what's wrong?
She sat up and walked to me
C- it's Jillian
Erin pov
Colby brought me downstairs and into Jillian's room where Jake was sitting on the floor holding Jillian in his arms
J- come on, let's stand up
Jake helped her up and I walked over and placed my hand on her back.
After seeing the bruises I knew why Jake wanted me down here.
E- Jillian?
She lifted her head up and grabbed onto me
E- it's okay, I'm right here
I cooed softly as I rocked her in my arms
20 minutes passed and I talked to Jillian about getting pictures of all the bruises for the lawyers and she finally agreed.
The boys left the room so I could take the pictures for her then gave my phone to Jake so he could call them and see what next steps are.
Colby and I sat on Jillian's bed with her until she tired herself out and fell asleep.
6 p.m
After Colby helped me out of Jillian's bed, we walked outside and were sitting with our feet in the pool.
C- how are you feeling?
E- I'm fine
C- come on, don't be short
E- I'm just upset okay
C- and I get that but I would rather you talk about it and get it out rather then keep it to yourself and stress about it, it's not good for you or the baby..
That's the first time he hasn't referred to the baby as "it". It's progress, I'm proud of him
C- why are you looking at me like that?
I didn't say a word as the space between our faces diminished. I closed my eyes and felt his lips on mine soon finding a rhythm.
Colby pulled away when the back door opened.
S- are we interrupting?
Sam laughed, Katrinas hand in his
C- yes, scram
E- be nice
I pecked his lips and patted the space next to me for Kat to come sit
When she sat down Sam went to the other side of Colby and sat as well
S- are we all okay?
E- we're getting there
I looked over at Sam and slashed him a smile
We sat outside for another 20 minutes or so just talking
C- we need to get you something to eat, you haven't had anything all day
Colby stood up with Sam then helped me up and walked me inside with Sam and kat behind us. They went upstairs and Colby pulled me into the kitchen.
