Chapter 17
Loving His Demons
Wyatt's POV
August 23rd (14 weeks and 2 day)
"Babe do I have to go" I whined and he sighed.
"No baby you don't but I would really like it if you came because my dad really wants to meet you" He says and I nod my head
Its been almost a month since Scarlette was born and I feel like I should move back to my apartment I don't want to though... I love living with David but I feel like we're burdening him. I feel arms wrapped around my waist making me smile
"What are you thinking about?" He asks me
"Moving back into my apartment" I say and he tenses and lets go.
"Why would you want to do that?" He asks turning me around to face him.
"I don't want too... But you told me you'd help until I am on my feet again and I am pretty steady on my feet and I don't want to burden you" I say
"Please don't leave you don't have to leave I love having you and the kids here and I love having our child close to me" he says putting a hand on my bump which still looks fucking massive.
"Are you sure?" I ask biting my lip and he kisses me.
"I'm positive" He says attacking my neck with kisses making me giggle.
"Okay okay fine but do you think we could maybe move somewhere else? I want it to be our house not yours" I say and he smiles and kisses my forehead
"Of course baby" He says
"Yay! But you don't think this is to fast?" I ask him
"All relationships have different paces baby. I um I know we're going to be together for a long time I can feel it. Is that too cheesy?" He asks blushing
I kiss his cheek "No it's cute and I like it. Now let's go before we are late to dinner"
(Wyatt's bump)
I look in the mirror at my bump "Babe why am I so big" I say tearfully. He comes up behind me and hugs my waist and rests his chin on my shoulder.
"I think you look beautiful baby. I love how big your bump is. It makes you look super sexy" he says kissing the nape of my neck
I rub my eyes to stop the tears. "Come on" he says grabbing my hand snd tugging me out the door.

(David's outfit)
"Are you sure the kids should stay here?" I frown. He turns "Do you trust Brayden and Sophie?" He asks and I nod. "Then they'll be fine. They have a kid his name is Josiah but he's been at a summer camp he'll be back in a couple of days. They know how to take care of kids it'll be okay." He reassures me so I smile.
We say by to the kids and walk out of the door. We get into his car and I am brought back to the memory 2 weeks ago when I told him I loved him
What's wrong?" He asks.
"I'm scared" I whisper
"About what?"
"About what I'm about to say" I whisper.
He rubs my arm signaling me to continue.
"I love you" I whisper fearfully
"What?" He asks
"I said I love you!" I yell and cry into my hands.
I feel the car being pulled over and David pulls me over the console and into his lap.
"Shhh baby it's okay there's no need to cry. It's alright" he whispers soothingly
"No! I love you I love you and you don't love me back!" I cry into his warm chest
He pushes me back and tilts my chin with his hand so that I am looking into his eyes.
"I Love you too" he says with so much sincerity I burst into tears again.
"R-really?" I ask
"Yeah baby. Really. I don't know when but all I know is I honestly can't picture my life without you." He says and gives me a loving kiss
"Babe?" David snaps me out of my flashback and I look over at him giving him a smile.
"What are you thinking about?" He asks
"When you told me you loved me" I say and he kisses my head. "I do love you. But we're here so we should probably just get this over with he says. I look him over and frown his hands are shaking.
I grab his hands and kiss them. "What's wrong?" I ask him and he shake his head. "My family doesn't really like me except for my dad and my brother Luis" he says and I nod my head slowly.
"Well I am sure everything will be okay because I am here for you" I say and peck his lips. He smiles and we get out of the car and walk up to his dads house.
We enter the house and walk into the kitchen everyone stops talking and looks at us.
"Dad, Adrian this is my boyfriend Wyatt. Wyatt this is my Dad and Adrian" he says and turns slightly to the other 2 people in the room
"Um that's William and that's Jasmine" he says pointing to them.
"Who the hell is that?" His brother William says.
"As I just said this is my boyfriend Wyatt"
"Why is he so fat?" William ask making me hide behind David to hide my belly
"William Benjamin Picozzi is this how I raised you!? To be hateful and rude! Apologize now!" David's dad yells
William scoffs "You didn't raise me Papa did" he says and David tenses up.
"Wyatt is not fat he's pregnant. He has a condition where he's able to get pregnant" David says
"So he's a freak?" William hisses.
I hide behind David more hiding my face into his back.
"Dad control your son or I can't make any promises about what I do to him" David says.
"William stop acting like this! This is not how I raised you. I did not raise you to be hateful and mean you get that from Camden. I raised all of my children to be nice and respectful clearly that only got to two of my children. You and your sister or hateful and despiteful. You take after Camden and I won't allow you to treat your brother like this anymore! Either start treating him right or you can leave this house and not come back until you've learned!" His dad yells
"I will not treat someone who caused my dad to go to prison! David seduced him dad! Why can't you see that! David is a fucking whore who seduced Papa and now he has to be in prison while David is out living his life!" William yells
"I WAS FUCKING 5 WILLIAM! HOW CAN A 5 YEAR OLD SEDUCE SOMEONE!" David screams and rushes upstairs.
I hug myself and look around scared.
"William get out now. I don't want to see you again until you have learned what your Camden did was wrong. You are just like him and I will not tolerate it in this house any longer" His dad says and points to the door.
"Whatever fuck you old man I fucking hate you anyways!" William yells and leaves the house he bumps into me and I almost fall but Adrian catches me.
"If you're gonna act like your brother you can leave too Jasmine" David's dad says. She bites her lip and shakes her head.
David's dad leaves the room and Adrian let's go of me "Go check on him second door to the right" Adrian tells me and leaves to check on David's dad.
I rush upstairs and open the door and see David sitting in a corner rocking back and forth.
I walk over and sit by him and wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his shoulder and he lays his head on my head. He moves us so that I am between his legs and my back is against his chest one hand is intertwined with mine and the his other hand is resting on my bump.
He kisses my neck and I relax against him.
"When I was born I was adopted by my Dad Nick and my Papa Camden" he says quietly.
"You don't have to tell me babe" I tell him.
"You deserve to know. Anyways. When I was 5... My papa started abusing me mentally, physically, and... Sexually." He says making me tense
"He would beat me when he got mad and then rape me until I couldn't move anymore. My dad never knew. I was 15 when My papa got caught... I suffered 10 years of abuse. He would just get so angry and he would hurt me and he-he wouldn't stop he'd just keep going and going and going and when He would rape me god it hurt so bad Wyatt. My dad was a doctor so whenever he would rip me he knew how to stitch me up" he says chocking on his words
I rub the back of his hand soothingly trying to calm him down.
"I Started self harming at 13... I just couldn't deal with the pain. I've tried killing myself more than once... I was diagnosed with depression when I was 15 and I have been battling it ever since. I have so many scars on my body Wyatt. My back was shredded by my dad with his belt. I have scars from that too. He's burned me and cut me." He says taking a deep breath and continuing
"My siblings hate me because they think it's my fault that our Papa is in prison they think I'm a whore and that I seduced him. A fucking 5 year old!" He says louder.
"I have this condition or something where if I get a migraine I pass out or have a seizure I have to take pills everyday for the rest of my life" he says
"I've only had one other relationship and that was with this detective. We were together for 5 years but we never had sex. I broke up with him because... Well actually I have no clue why" he says making me tense.
"But I'm glad I did because if I didn't I would have never met you" he says kissing my neck
"You are one of the best things that have happened to me Wyatt. I'm not as angry as I was you have made me a better person. I love the kids. I consider them mine too. You make me believe in love Wyatt. I thought I'd be lonely for the rest of my life. I was scared shit I'm still scared and I am deathly scared of being a father. Because I-I don't want to be like him" he says crying into my neck.
I turn in his arms and wrap my arms around his neck. I kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back deeping the kiss. I hear someone clearing their throat which makes me jump back and blush.
"Dinners ready" Adrian says and we nod our head and get up.
I stop David before he could leave the room. I wrap my arms around his neck tightly. He hugs me back wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I love you babe thank you for telling me your past" I say
"Thank you for listening and not judging me." He says and I pulls back we walk downstairs and into the dining room.
David sits down and I sit next to him. For dinner we eat chicken alfredo
"So Wyatt, what do you do for a living?" His dad ask.
"Oh um right now I am a stay at home dad? I guess you could say" I tell him and he nods.
"I am really sorry about my son. You're not a freak and I am so happy I am going to be a grandpa" His dad says and I smile at him.
"Thanks I am 3 1/2 months pregnant" I tell them.
The rest of dinner goes by quietly and awkwardly.
"I'm really sorry. I am usually more upbeat then this" his dad says quietly.
"It's fine we all have our bad day" I say with a small smile.
"David? Can we go? I'm not feeling very well" I tell him.
"Are you okay?" He asks worriedly.
"Yeah babe I'm fine just nauseous and tired" I tell him and he kissed my forehead.
"Go wait in the car I'll be there in a minute" he says and I nod my head.
"It was nice meeting you guys." I say and leave to wait in the car.
