Tom Hiddleston Stories

Divorced Part 2

Previously...

Isla's POV

As we started walking to the checkout hand in hand, and josh in Ben's arm we quickly joined a cue. Completely oblivious to my surrounding I started talking to Ben regarding what we was going to do tomorrow, as I know Josh had wanted to go to the park and at the moment we had no plans.

Little did I know who was in front of me, and when Benedict leaned into me to give me a kiss on the lips Josh had leaned over and started playing with the man in front of us curls that peaked through the small gap in the baseball cap he was wearing. Quickly noticing what he was doing I pulled him back embarrassed as the man turned around to see what had pulled his hair.

In that split second I was gob smacked, as the last person I expected it to be turned around and was equally as shocked as I was.

"T-tom.." I say shakily, out of all the places, and all the moments that I would run into him again it had to be this one.

"Tom" Ben whispered to me, finally starting to put the pieces together as he stared at the man who had broken my heart years before when he left.

"I-isla, oh my god" He said shocked as he looked from me to Ben and finally to the little boy in Ben's arms.

Ben was currently looking between us as a shocked Tom looked between me and Josh. It was like he couldn't believe his eyes, that he couldn't believe that I was in front of him and that I was with another man and a young boy.

Snapping out of the shock by the light dig in my side by Ben, I finally composed myself.

"Hi Tom" I say with a small smile, trying to make the situation a little less awkward, I mean how much more awkward could it get. Here I was with another man and a child that I knew Tom knew was mine. Yes Josh was a spit of his dad but there was also a lot of similarities between me and him.

With a sad smile towards Josh, Tom faced me and waved. "Hi Isla, it's been a while". Looking down at his feet I couldn't help but feel bad. But why did I, we had both gone through the same pain, It was as if I had cheated on him which made him leave. We lost a child, WE. Not just him, if anything In the small amount of time in which I carried our baby I grew protective and a bond was created with the unborn child. Then for that to be ripped out of our hands, was heart shattering.

When I got pregnant with Josh I was so scared, I was worried what happened with the first pregnancy would happen again, and there was the odd scare with him but nothing life threatening. So our little boy grew healthily inside me and was a blessing when he was born. That day when I gave birth and heard his first scream, was the biggest relief of my life. I could tell throughout the whole pregnancy that Ben was very protective of me and made sure I was ok and well looked after at all times.

"It has... how have you been?" I say genuinely happy to see him once the shock had worn off, even if he did hurt me by leaving, I still loved him, just not like that anymore. I was in love with Ben.

"I-" just as he was about to reply Josh started whining, obviously bored of being held in his fathers arms as we were just standing there.

"Mama mama, sweets!" he screamed loudly in my ear. Ben couldn't help but chuckle a little at the excited little boy in his arms.

"Bud why don't me and you go get some sweets whilst muma speaks to her friend" Ben said with a polite smile in Tom's direction.

"Yay Dada yay" He said and wrapped his small arms around Ben's neck. With that the two of them started walking of to the sweet isle, leaving me and Tom alone to talk.

"He's beautiful" Tom says smiling at Josh. In that moment I felt my heart break, all he ever wanted was a child of his own with me and unfortunately someone had other plans for us.

"Thank you" I smile. I really had missed him, seeing him now in person felt surreal.

"I'm so so sorry Isla, I regret on ever walking out on you, we were going through the same pain, yet I chose to be selfish and leave you in the time you needed me the most, in the time we needed each other the most. I let you down, I let us down"He says with tears in his eyes.

Taking his hand it mine and stroking it to calm him down, I heard a deep sigh come from his lips. All of a sudden I am crushed against his chest, his sobs muffled by his head leaning on my shoulder and his face in my neck. He was broken, you could tell.

"I love you so much, I never stopped loving you, come back to me, we can still make this work. I need you, I haven't been myself the past few years" Never in my life had I felt what I was feeling right now.

I was confused but in a different way, I was doubting mine and Ben's relationship and whether it would last as Tom has always been the one. Pushing them stupid thoughts aside I realised that wasn't the case, I loved Ben, I was in love with Ben. Yes once apon a time that was Tom but it had been five years. My heart now belonged to someone else and that someone else wasn't my former childhood sweetheart.

"I'm sorry Tom but I'm with Ben, I love him and we have a son together" I say pulling away from him, now uncomfortable as Ben could return any second seeing a desperate Tom cling onto me asking to return to him.

"You can't love him like you loved me surely" He said with a tear slipping down his cheek. Wiping it away furiously, I see him glance behind me. Even without turning around I knew who he was looking at, the strong hands on my waist gave it away.

"I suggest you back off" Ben said in a not so friendly tone, Josh was standing next to him holding his hand looking up at Tom with a confused expression on his face.

"Call me please, I need to explain" Tom said handing a small piece of paper to me, with a number scribbled on it, whilst ignoring Ben completely.

If it weren't for the fact Josh was with us and that we was in a que in the supermarket I could guarantee it wouldn't have gone down without a fight between the two men.

Oh Tom, what have you done...
