Angel
I was sleeping when I felt someone touch my face ,my instant reaction was saying his name. I opened my eyes and saw my dad and sister.
Angel : Hey, how did you get here so fast
Amara : You scared the hell out of all of us , especially Jake
Angel : Sorry it's just, I couldn't go through it again, wait you were here before Dad
Amara: Jake called me because well he was worried, you were acting weird
Angel : He's probably Angry at me for not telling him
Amara: He's not , we're heading home , I'll visit at least twice a week okay
Angel : Okay
My dad just looked at me
Angel : I'm sorry Dad
Senator : So twins , I'll be having two more grandkids. you'll be okay. We'll let Jake see you now , take care of yourself and if you need anything let us know okay,
Angel : Okay dad
Senator : I wanted to talk to you girls about something
Amara : What is it
Senator: Well it seems someone told your mother that you're both still alive, her sentencing has been reduced, she's also been trying to call me. Well she has called multiple times,but I haven't answered.
Amara: What, I don't want to be around her, I don't want to see her
Angel: She's caused enough trouble
Senator: Don't worry about it, I'll handle that. Just take care of yourself and the babies okay.
Angel. : I will
After they left he walked in ,he didn't look angry or anything, he just looked at me.
Jake : Love
Angel : I'm sorry okay, I'm sorry. I was scared . After I hit two months pregnant I just, when we came back From phoenix I had another miscarriage ,I just. I don't know how to explain myself just that I'm sorry if I hurt you by keeping it from you. Everytime I had a miscarriage do you know how much that hurt me, I know you were hurt but you acted like everything was okay,but it wasn't Jake.
He walked over to me and sat on the bed next to me , he just looked at me.
Jake : I called Amara and Lilly , I thought maybe you were cheating on me.
Angel : What
Jake : I already know that you sleep in another room, you wouldn't let me touch you or come close to you. Then I found the pills , I don't know. I thought maybe you didn't love me anymore,that you didn't want to be with me anymore.
Angel : Jake I could never do that to you, I'm sorry I made you think or feel that way.
Jake : Did it even cross your mind just once love ,that you might put yourself at risk just by being pregnant. I'm saying it now, love and I want you to understand that if it comes down to you or the babies,it will be you. I'm not going to lose you Aria.
Okay he meant it ,I saw it in his eyes and there wasn't anything I could do or say because my father and everyone else would choose his side.
Jake
I touched her face ,she looked tired
Jake : twins
Angel : Yes and I'm scared
Jake : Don't be , I'm here . We're all here ,why don't you get some rest I'll be right here.
Angel : Okay
I sat next to her and held her hands. She was really pregnant. I understand why she hid it. Everytime she had a miscarriage I saw that broken and disappointed look in her eyes. She would cry, she thought I didn't know. I was so busy with work and then she was acting weird it never crossed my mind that she could be pregnant. I was happy too , we would actually have our own family. I heard the door behind me open ,and saw Cleo and Lilly walk in.
Cleo : How is she Jake
Jake: She's okay
Lilly : We brought some of her stuff,but the Dr said she'll be discharged in a few hours. We're going to head back and make sure everything is set for her.
Jake : Thank you
Lilly : Jake
Jake : What is it
Lilly : Can I tell Dad
Jake : Sure
Lilly : Okay
I sat there holding her hand ,when Dr Hendricks walked in.
Dr : She's asleep
Jake : Yes ,are you sure my wife isn't in any danger
He pulled a chair and sat next to me
Dr : No , that was the first thing she asked me . I found it strange that she didn't ask about the babies so I asked her. She said that if something happens to her while she's pregnant, That her husband is going to choose to save her and not the child and that I should accept the decision if it ever comes to that.
Jake : Because she already knows
Dr : It was just a slight cramping, it's normal but with twins it makes you feel like you're going into labor. She's doing fine ,her stats for the past five months are good. The babies are okay too. She's been taking care of herself, because I've warned her. Now it's time you helped her.
Jake : What do you mean
Dr : Well she needs to start walking, that's one way to get the babies to rotate and move around. And well there's something else.
Jake : What is it
Dr : How about we speak about this outside
What would he have to say that he doesn't want her to hear? I followed him out and we stood by the door , I was still looking at her.
Dr : Well During pregnancy a woman's body goes through a lot of changes but there's also something else their hormones go sky high,now that's where you Come in.
I stood there listening to him. For a doctor he seemed embarrassed to talk about sex . He left to go get her discharge papers started . I went back and sat next to her. We were having twins , I was proud and amazed at her, she kept it all to herself.
Angel : Jake
Jake : Yes love
Angel : I'm hungry
Jake : we'll be going home in a few minutes,what do you want to eat
Angel : I feel like eating Chinese food and cake , I haven't had any Junk food in months. I really want some
I smiled at her
Jake : Okay love , you'll get whatever you want
Angel : Thank you and I'm sorry for not telling you,I wanted to tell you this morning but I. The thing is everytime I'm around you I want you and then in one second I get mad at you for no reason, I guess it's hormones
I leaned over and kissed her, her hands came up around my neck and pulled me into her .
Jake : Dr Hendricks told me something a few minutes ago , you and I are going to have some fun love
Angel : What
Just then Dr Hendricks walked into the room, I pulled away from her.
Dr : Well Mr's Nakamara you're all set, you can leave. I've already explained everything to your husband so listen to him.
Angel : Okay and thank you Dr Hendricks
Jake : She wants junk food
Dr : That's okay, once a week , she's come a long way she's almost six months and she's been taking care of herself so it's okay , remember she needs to walk
Jake : Thank you
I pulled my phone out , I didn't know who was still at the hospital. I called Lilly and she told me Dan and Thomas were still at the hospital waiting for us. I called Dan to get the car. I helped her off the bed and got changed then we left. One the drive home she was quiet,I couldn't help but stare at her.
Dan : How are you feeling
Angel : I'm good
Thomas: You scared the hell out of everyone
Angel : Sorry
Thomas: Don't worry about it, just as long as you're okay
When we pulled up to the house, I saw a strange car. I wasn't worried about it. I helped her into the house ,my father was in the living room along with Lilly, she stopped.
Angel : Oh
Lilly : Umm after I told him,he asked to come over
Jake : it's okay, Angel you already know him
Mr Donfort: I remember you, So you're my daughter-in-law
Angel : Yes I am Mr Donfort ,why don't you three talk . I'm going to the kitchen, I'm hungry.
Jake : I forgot , wait I'll order the food for you
Thomas: What does she want
Jake : Chinese food and cake
Dan : We'll get it
Angel : You guys don't need to do this, you all have stuff to do.
Dan : Yea Whatever, we'll be back in ten with your food.
Angel : Okay I'll be in my room
I helped her into the room and then went back out
Mr Donfort : So I haven't explained anything to your mother Lilly , I just don't know how she will take it. She's already acting crazy over what Hannah did. How far along is her pregnancy
Jake: almost six months
Mr Donfort : okay , take care of her and yourself, I'll visit you when I can
Jake : Okay
Angel
I felt a bit relieved that Jake knew. He wasn't angry ,I was happy he was trying to work it out with his father. What did Dr Hendricks say to him? I was laying there thinking about that when he walked into the room.
Jake : Are you okay
Angel : I am
He was staring at me again
Angel : Jake stop staring
Jake : Can't help it love, your stomach is huge
Angel : So now I'm fat
Jake : Really
He came over and sat next to me
Jake : I've missed you
Angel : I haven't gone anywhere
Jake : No but you've been staying away from me , and right now I need you so much
Angel: I agree, because I want you too
Jake : Later, you need to eat.
I couldn't help it , I pulled him into me , crushing my lip to his. I needed this and he did too. His hands were in my hair . I had forgotten how he made me feel. Neither of us heard the door open or when it closed. He pulled away from me when someone knocked.
Jake : Let's go , you need to eat
Angel: No I'm not hungry anymore, I want you please
Jake
She grabbed my shirt,well hell
Jake : Okay, wait let me get rid of whoever's at the door.
I opened the door to find Dan and Lilly
Jake : Yes
Lilly : Umm her foods there , we're heading to Duskwood to grab something we'll be back in an hour
Jake : Sure
I saw the slight smile from Lilly. I closed the room door and looked at her.
Jake : we have a few hours alone
I said as I pulled my shirt off and walked over to her.
