Alex's Pov a few weeks later, Christmas eve
I will admit a lot had happened these past few weeks, from the incident in the cabin to the illegal underground boxing arena, then to nearly fully dislocating my knee and now to Charlotte carrying my baby.
It's surprised me that I delt with all of that, I normally would ran away from all them problems, or punch everything in my path.
I think Charlotte has really changed me for the better.
And also with this baby on the way, I want to make Charlotte and the baby my first priority.
But also these past weeks, I've been have alot of PTSD from the cabin and the boxing ring. And also nightmares of Lucas coming back and him kidnapping Charlotte, and then she has a miscarriage or something happens to Charlotte and I lose both.
I haven't told Charlotte about these nightmares, or PTSD, I'm to scared to tell her, and also it's the holidays, why would I worry her, and stress is also bad for the baby.
I was then pulled from my thoughts by Charlotte "are you okay, baby" Charlotte asks as she crawls into a little ball at my side.
"Yeh, couldn't be better" I say then kissing the top of her head "then what were you mumbling about" shit I didn't realise I was mumbling "just some stupid stuff" I say then I pull Charlotte over onto my lap then she strangles my waist.
"What do you want to do today" Charlotte asks "whatever you want" I say.
"Well there should still be some Christmas shops open" I so want to say no, because we have been to so many different Christmas shops these past two weeks "is there really anymore shops to go to, I swear we've been to ever single one".
"Why, what's wrong with going to Christmas shops" Charlotte asks me with a pout "it's just I was thinking we could have a day in bed" I say.
"Or how about we go shopping for a few hours, then we'll come home" Charlotte says, how could I say no to her "ok" I say then Charlotte jumps up off the bed and into the shower, that I quickly followed.
When Charlotte was picking out clothes while in her underwear, I realised that there a little bump.
"Starting to see a wee bump" I say as I wrap my arms around Charlottes waist "I started to see that to" Charlotte says placing her hands on top of mine that was on either side of her belly.
"You're so gorgeous, you know that right" I say then Charlotte laughs, "I won't be for much longer, when this belly gets bigger, then after with the stretch marks" Charlotte says.
"And when that all happens, I'll still be here saying you're the most gorgeous woman I have ever met" I say then I could see Charlottes bottom lip quiver in the mirror "awk don't cry" I say hugging her from behind.
"I don't deserve you" Charlotte says as she cries into my shoulder "of course you do, with the amount of shit you went through with Javier, you deserve to be happy" I say.
"I love you so much" Charlotte says as she pulls away "I love you to, always" I say wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Can you get my phone, I wanna take a picture of us like this, it's cute" Charlotte asks, then I go over to the nightstand and lift her phone "what, of us in our underwear" I asks her laughing "no, of you holding my belly" Charlotte says taking her phone from my hands.
"Come here" Charlotte says pulling me over to her "okay, okay calm down" I say getting behind her.
"Ok wrap your arms like earlier" Charlotte says, then I rest my hands on either side of her belly like before, then she rests one of hands on mine.
"Aww so cute, thanks" Charlotte says turning around and kissing my cheek.
"And where are you going to put it" I ask as I pick out some clothes for myself "I'm gonna send it into the group" Charlotte says, but I didn't really like that with Megan in the group, since she kissed me that night, I haven't been able to have a normal conversation with her anymore.
"I was also thinking of going to like a different town to go shopping, you know that I'm not more known as the mayors daughter" Charlotte asks "yeh, of course, whatever you want" I say.
As I finished tying my laces, I saw that Charlotte was still looking through her side of clothes for a top.
"Awk, I don't like any of these jumpers" Charlotte says throwing them on the floor, "how about you try your hoodies, you love hoodies" I say picking up the jumpers she through on the ground, and folding them again.
"No there not warm enough" she whines "do you want one of mine" I ask and her face lights up "yes" she squeals as she opens the other side or the wardrobe where my clothes are.
"Perfect" Charlotte says picking out the same hoodie I have on but different colour "really" I ask and she just smiles and walks out of my bedroom, I then lift my phone and wallet then follow her.
We got into Charlotte's car then she drove off to where ever wanted.
This will be a long day.
A few hours later
We just arrived back from shopping, Charlotte had bought this stupid little thing, she loves it thought and I think it's stupid.
It's a clay Christmas tree decoration that had a baby foot on it, stupid.
"I'm exhausted" Charlotte says flopping on my bed "uhm, will you be staying here, or" I ask Charlotte as I sit beside on the bed.
"Well, I'm not really on good terms with my dad at the moment" Charlotte explains "I could ask mom if they could come for dinner then they can go back home" I say just then mom comes in.
"Oh Charlotte dear, you're still here, I was wondering if your parents would like to come over for Christmas dinner tomorrow. It gets boring with just the four of us" mom asks wait four, "wait four" I ask and mom nods.
"Why is he coming for" I ask "he's my son and your brother, don't be so rude" "he near strangled me to death" I say with a blank face.
"Will you ask dear, thanks" mom says then closing the door "maybe I shouldn't come, when your brother will be there" Charlotte asks "stay if you want. If he has a girlfriend yet she'll be there, so that should be him main focus, for the night" I say.
"Okay".
Charlotte and I then got into our pyjamas. Charlotte insisted that we got matching grinch pyjamas.
After we changed into them we went down to mom. Mom was sitting watching a movie by herself, wait where's dad.
"Hey mom" I say sitting down beside her "hello dear" she replies with.
"What are you watching" I ask, then I saw Charlotte put the decoration she got today on the tree, then joining us.
"Jack Frost" mom says, omg I fucking love this film.
(This is the old one by the way, when the boys father is a snowman, not the dude with a magical stick)
"Charlotte, can you try on this jumper for me" mom asks getting up and disappearing into the kitchen, then returning with a jumper.
Charlotte takes her pyjama top off, but we forgot about one main thing "is your stomach alright, you look bloated" mom asks Charlotte, shit.
"Oh, it's nothing, just Alex feeding me to many sweets" Charlotte says then mom laughs, god what would I do without this amazing woman.
"It fits alright, why" she asks "it's just I bought you a few things for Christmas, and wanted to make sure they fit" mom says and Charlotte looked like she was gonna cry again, lately Charlotte has been very emotional, from the baby and all.
"Aw thank you so much Georgia" Charlotte says hugging her "no problem dear, I had to get you something, since you have kept this one out of trouble, sometimes" mom replies with, that I just stick my tongue out to.
We mainly just watched movie the rest of the night with mom, then Charlotte got tired, so we went back up to my room and fell asleep.
Later that night
I was jolted awake, from a nightmare, I looked down and saw Charlotte sleeping sound asleep on my chest.
I gently got up, trying not to wake Charlotte up, then changed into shorts and a hoodie.
I then went outside for a run/walk, but I soon realised my mind had started playing tricks on me, every car I saw go past, I would think it's Lucas, and he took Charlotte.
This nightmare was worse this night. We had been kidnapped, and Charlotte was killed in front of me, while I fought for my life, trying to get out of rope that I was wrapped in.
As these visions started happening more, the faster I then started running.
As my feet went as fast as they could, so did my head with the visions, Charlotte, Lucas, the baby and dad??
But I then felt my feet fall from beneath me, I hadn't realised there was ice about, and slipped.
As I lay on the cold ground, thoughts flooded my head.
I then got up and walked back home. I quietly made my way back in, and back to my room.
"Alex" shit "yeh" I ask "what are you doing up" Charlotte asks sleepily "I was getting a drink, go back to sleep" I say kissing her head then she soon fell back to sleep.
I quickly changed into my pyjamas, then cuddled back with Charlotte again, then fell asleep.
