We get back, and I'm exhausted. So, I climb straight into bed and sleep.
The following month passes quickly, and everything seems to be going wrong. The house looked great. Actually, it was. Until Damon decided it wanted it more open plan.
So, we're delayed with moving. At this rate, we won't be moving in until the baby comes.
I sit staring at my stomach. My casts have been removed, but Damon still hasn't touched me since that night. It's also not as if I can just tackle him with my stomach in the way.
"Baby girl." I hear Damon call from another room. Standing, I do the perfect penguin walk to him. "What do you think? I know I messed up our plans to move before she comes, but I have sorted out this room."
I look into the room and smile. "It's perfect, daddy."
"Good, so now I need to know for sure, name? Are we set before I paint the name on?"
"I'm sure, Raye. It's perfect." I smile up at him.
"Okay, well out while I fin
Thank you all for reading, I hope you are enjoying the book. Remember to show your support.
I must spend an hour arguing with Damon over the hospital. Him insisting we have to go now, me telling him it is too early. In the end, we are both worn out from arguing over it, and by the time we have stopped, my contractions are worse. It passed the time, though. I'm stood laughing by the door as he rolls his eyes at me. "Fucking brat." "That I am daddy, but you spent that long arguing with me. I won anyway." "Ya, ya. Sit please before you fall." He looks at me, and he isn't amused. "Walking makes it feel less painful!" I complain as another contract sweeps through me, and I begin walking before leaning over and crying slightly. "See, we're going. No more, it's too early, I have your bag, and we're going!" I nod and let the contraction stop. "I need my phone." I point to the kitchen and watch as he grabs it. A scream escapes my mouth as another contraction starts. Damon's eyes widen. "Please s
I wake up hearing voices, getting sorted. I move slowly out of the room, stopping in my tracks. My eyes widen. Why is everyone here already? I look at the clock. It's midday. I slept all morning. I look around, trying to see Damon, my dad or even Raye. But, instead, I spot Raye in Sam's arms or rather arm. "Where are they?" I look around confused and feel someone helping me sit. I don't even notice who I am just looking at Sam. "At your dad's place. He needs some clothes; he will be staying here for a week or two. He needed clothes, though, so we said we would watch Raye and you until they get back." "Clothes?" He honestly went to get clothes today, Christmas day? "Yes, you have to think those clothes he would have worn for over seventy-two hours before he moved to prison. They will be back any moment now, though. Happy Christmas as well." Sam grins at me. Everyone is laughing, and I look around confused. "What am I missing?" I
I must fall asleep, as the next thing I know, I am in bed, and it is morning. I groan and climb out of bed; I will need to tell Damon to wake me. He can't keep letting me sleep all night. Getting showered and dressed, I walk out, my eyes glancing around. I see Rose holding Raye and begin to panic. "They went out. They should be back soon." "They left Raye with you?" I rush over and take her. "You were asleep Trixie, your dad and Damon said it was fine." She smiles at me. "Sorry." I don't know why I panicked or flipped. "It's fine, Trixie. You don't really know me, so it's fine." She smiles at sits down, but now everything feels awkward. I don't know what to say or what to talk about. "So, did you and my dad sort everything out?" I don't know why I am asking; they must have for him to think it was fine to leave Raye with her. "I never told your dad anything, Trixi. I disappeared when I found out I was pregnant. T
I kneel and wait, a few moments of silence passing by before I hear him walking in. He doesn't speak. I just hear his movements, things been moved. I keep my eyes fixed ahead. "Okay, baby girl, stand." I follow his order and stand, still unable to see him. I feel his fingers first stroking down my spine. As he reaches the bottom, his hand swings and hits my ass. I stay standing still, keeping my eyes fixed ahead. "Are you sure that you want to play in here, baby girl?" "I'm sure, daddy. So, get your toys." I feel his fingers stroke along my back again. "And which toys would you like me to use, baby girl?" His voice is quiet in my ear. "Any that you think will give me the most pleasure, daddy. Any that you get enjoyment out of using." I hear his snigger as his finger continues to stroke along my back. "I have an idea, baby girl. Stay right there." I hear him leave and can't help but wonder why he would le
I stare at Lucy shocked. "She isn't yours." I pull my hands trying to break the rope that is around my wrists. "I considered ways to handle you. I came in, saw you out cold on the floor, so thought I would hurt you. I thought hurting you would make you run, not want to be here. Only you woke up and some how got closer to him." Her words make my eyes widen. "You were the one who broke in and hurt me." "I didn't break in. I used a key, then I realised, that would make Damon realise it was me. So I broken the door and left. You were meant to leave, think his life was too dangerous. You did leave eventually." I watch as she holds Raye and walks around. "Just put her down, you want Damon, fine, have him." I won't let her hurt Raye. "You think I will hurt her? Don't you see? Me and Damon are meant to be, you just came in and destroyed it all by saying you were pregnant. We would still be together with our own baby had you not." "I do
I get a few messages from Damon, but nothing helpful. He has let me know that Raye is fine, but other than that there is no information. I can't settle and all my dad keeps saying is that i need to trust Damon."Anything?" I look at him, wondering if Damon has messaged him. "I don't care what he says, I just need to know if he has messaged?" It's been two hours since his last message."Nothing yet princess. How about you get some sleep?"Staring at him I shake my head. "No! I'm going to try call." I need to know what is going on, I grab my phone and watch as he takes it from me."Don't princess. He could be inches away from getting Raye from her and you ring and she backs up. Don't do it.""I can't just sit and wait!" That though is all I can do. I know deep down they are right and Damon is the only one who can get her to listen and give up Raye.I watch as four hours pass by. Unable to sleep or settle I wonder if it would be better to call
Lucy doesn't reply, she just sits, staring at me intently."Do you think calling her, and saying it is over will work? That I will just believe you?" Her head tilts."No, I know it will take a long time to prove it to you. That is just the start baby girl, I belong with you." I smile at her as I pick up the phone, her eyes watching."I want to listen."I knew she would say that."Fine with me." Hitting Trixie's number I listen to it ring."Damon? What is going on?" She sounds worried and I know it is genuine worry. "When are you coming back?""I'm not Trixie, make sure you pack your things and leave." I watch as Lucy watches me intently."Damon, what the fuck?" I hear her dad in the background shouting."Then bring Raye home!" Trixie cries."Raye isn't yours! You didn't even fucking want her Trixie, you were going to do what your own mother did and dump her and run." I sounds so fucking heartless."She is m
The morning passes quickly and whenever Raye needs anything I willingly let Lucy, I don't want to act on impulse, she will expect it.So, the day is spent with me doing nothing while Lucy feeds Raye, changes her and everything. The fact I am taking that step back and not trying though has Lucy trusting me.The door is locked though and I have no idea where the key is.I'm stood cleaning the kitchen, emptying the bin I walk through."Rubbish needs to be taking out Lucy." I smile at her. I leave it by the door and turn to finish cleaning and I hear her move.I watch as she unlocks the door and leaves the key in it. Taking out the rubbish I walk back in and wash my hands before sitting down. I watch as she moves to sit with me, cuddling against me while she holds Raye.I relax slightly, this is the closest I have gotten to her since all this. Leaning down I kiss her forehead and smile. We cuddle and watch a film and I watch as Lucy grows tired.
