It's over. These thoughts haunted you every night when you tried to fall asleep. Sometimes you didn't sleep at night because of nightmares, you just walked from cupboard to cupboard eating chips or just watching TV series. You used to call Lilly but you knew she also had a lot on her mind so you didn't want to wake her up in the middle of the night.
AJ, your husband left Los Angeles with his friends leaving you in Lilly's care. AJ left to rob a bank. You knew it was stressful and needed a lot of time but you were already going crazy. Lilly unfortunately couldn't be with you 24/7 because she had her own problems but she assured you that AJ was alive. Even though he hadn't spoken for 6 months.
6 months since he left. 6 months since you last saw him. AJ always cut off contact with you when he left so that if there were any problems the police or his enemies wouldn't find out about you. You were mad at AJ for always cutting off contact with you because Lilly is Jake's fiancée, and Jake keeps in touch with her even when he goes to rob a bank. AJ still explained to you that it was for safety.
A month after AJ left, you don't even know where, you found out that you were pregnant. It was even more shocking because AJ didn't want children because he knew that he might be gone someday and he didn't want you to be alone.
Lilly helped you with everything. Almost everything. But you were still grateful for it.
One evening Lilly stayed at your and AJ's apartment because she managed to take care of some things at work. When you started to panic again because AJ wasn't talking to you, she showed you her messages with Jake when he wrote her that he wouldn't talk to her because they had problems but that everyone would come back safe and sound. "See?" Lilly says stroking your hair. "Everything will be fine."
It was now a month later. Another 2 months passed. There was no one.
It was afternoon.
You were cleaning the windowsill in your and AJ's bedroom, dusting them off. You were 7 months pregnant. Your belly was visible. You were even more devastated when you found out you were pregnant with twins. A girl and a boy.
Suddenly you hear the front door open and someone enters. It was probably Lilly. You had made the keys especially for her.
But the voice calmly calling your name wasn't Lilly. You froze.
Someone entered the bedroom. You turn around and see AJ smiling warmly at you. He hadn't noticed your belly yet because you were wearing a really loose sweatshirt. Or because of his emotions? Tears welled up in your eyes, you didn't even try to hold them back. AJ comes up to you and hugs you tightly but pulls away from you like he's been burned when he feels your belly sticking out.
"Are you...?" He looks at you. You nod and he chuckles.
"Oh God. Come to me." He says kissing you hard.
