The actor and the normal girl - Ian Somerhalder Fanfic

Messed up

In late April, Abby had had enough of being pregnant.

“I feel like an overstuffed turkey,” she told Ian one night.

He had been gone the whole day on set and she was on maternity leave. Needless to say, she was bored. She tried everything to get the baby to want to come sooner. Her C-section was happening May 6th, only 2 weeks away, so she was considered full term. The doctor told them that the baby could come at any time.

She walked, or waddled, around the neighborhood, rubbed her belly, even talked to it trying to coax it out.

“You look amazing,” Ian said. She had put on a little weight but mostly in her belly and breasts. “I know you don’t feel it, but you are sexy as hell.”

Abby rolled her eyes.

“Look at me,” he said lifting her chin. “You look gorgeous and if I could I would make love to you every day.”

She smiled. Their love making had stalled.

“Well,” Abby said grabbing a book Candice had given her. “We could try a few of these out.”

Ian’s eyes went wide. It was a Kama sutra book for pregnant couples.

“Let me guess. Candice gave it to you.”

Abby nodded. Candice knew how physical they liked to be. “Fuck like rabbits,” to use her term.

“I’m game if you are,” Ian wiggled his eyebrows.

Abby shrugged and turn to walk away. Ian took her arm and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

“Maybe we shouldn’t,” Abby said. “I read that sex can sometimes bring on labor.”

Ian nodded. He didn’t want to do anything to endanger the baby.

“Ian, I’m joking! I have been trying all day to induce labor.”

“You just want to have sex,” he said laughing.

She shook her head. “That too but I’m serious. I took a long walk, talked to my belly and even tried the raspberry leaf tea but she isn’t budging,”

Ian’s face went from a smile to a look of concern.

“Please tell me you’re kidding.”

“I’m not! I can’t stand it anymore. I am tired all the time and the doctor said if the baby were to come now, she would be perfectly healthy.”

“You don’t know that Abby!” How can you think that? What if you’d gone into labor and had to have an emergency C-section and something went wrong.”

He had taken her arms, gripping too tightly and shaking her.

He saw the fear in her eyes.

“Get. Out.” she said.

“Abby, please. I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to hurt you.”

She paused on the staircase. “That’s what Aaron said.

Ian scrubbed his hand over his face.

“Beautiful...”

Abby continued up the stairs, into their bathroom and locked the door. Once inside, she broke down. Her arms hurt where Ian had held and shook her. She rubbed them. Abby had made a promise to herself that if any man ever hurt her again, she was out the door.

She got out her phone and texted Torrey.

- Can I stay with you tonight?

She waited. The phone beeped almost immediately.
