Fragmented {The Reason #2}
"Now I've gone for too long
Living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I."
--Hayley Williams
Aiden's Pov.
My eyes flutter open as the bright sun rays cover the room making me squint my eyes a little. A slight movement on my arm makes me smile before I turn towards Bree. She hugs me closer with her eyes still closed as I act as a barrier from the sun rays falling on her beautiful face. The feeling of her naked body against mine was making me go hard all over again.
Oh stop it already. It's too early for that.
I roll my eyes before looking down Bree's beautiful body. Her breasts almost popping out from under the covers as she's flushed against me and her sleak figure covered in a thin white sheet showing every beautiful curve of her body. Everything feels so unreal right now. I've been craving her touch for years and when I finally get it, I don't want to let her out of my arms. Hugging her closer, I kiss her hair, "I love you baby doll as I love our son,"
Jayden however has grown on me now. Everything I discovered about him made me love him more and more. I wish I could go back to fix things and spend time with him to get to know him but now I know that each passing second, I'll dwell in the regret of not meeting my son, of not being there for Bree when she needed me. I guess I've got to sort out things with mom sooner or later even if it ends up with me deciding to not talk to her again. But part of me already knows that Bree would be stopping me from breaking allies with my mom cause she doesn't want anyone to suffer. Great just great, isn't it?
I could do anything Bree wanted if she just asked me once. Why do I want to even spoil my mood thinking about all this when I've got Bree in my arms right now? If anything I should be working towards fixing us right now. I wanted to see her smile all the time and just not forcing herself to most of the time.
My hand travels up her body and rests on her cheek, caressing it, "I'm going to fix everything sweetheart and I'm never going to let that beautiful smile fall ever again,"
This is something I'll be telling her every morning for a while, till I fix things up for us. Looking at the time, I realise it's just an hour before Bree wakes up 6:30am. Perfect, I can make her some breakfast. I slowly remove her hands from my neck and get off the bed without waking her up. I wrap the towel I find on the couch before heading to close the curtains before the brightness wakes Bree up.
Walking back to the bed I duck my head down to peck her quickly on her swollen lips before walking into the shower. I brush my teeth before heading to the shower. Unwrapping my towel, I step into the cubicle and turn the shower on. I close my eyes, letting my muscles relax under the hot water.
Every touch of Bree last night flashes in my mind as I wash myself. She's an angel and no matter how long we stayed away from each other, my love for her never changed. The way she stares at me and the way her brown orbs reflect all the love I have for her is something I can never get over.
Snapping out of my thoughts, I step out of the shower and wrap a towel around my waist before heading out straight to the closet while wiping my hair dryer with another one. I grab a blue t-shirt and khaki shorts along with my boxers before putting them on. Casual for the weekend.
Running a hand through my hair, I walk back into the room to find Bree rushing out from the washroom all fresh. Oh no! Seems like my plans have been ruined. "Bree why are you running around?"
"Amanda's water broke, Jackson just took her to the hospital. We've go to go now Aiden," She rambles grabbing some fresh clothes from her closet. Yeah I use her closet, just like old times.
"Should I go down and inform Maria and Brad?"
"Yeah please do. I'll be down in two minutes," I nod taking a sneak peak at her as she puts on her clothes. "Not now dickhead. I've got a brother who freaks out when he sees a woman giving birth to attend to right now,"
I grin at her statement before walking out of the room. Heading downstairs I find Maria already in the kitchen with a few other staff doing various things- cleaning, cooking, doing the dishes and what not. I guess it's a spring clean day or something. "Good morning Aiden,"
Maria chirps when she sees me. "Good morning Maria. Amanda's has gone into labour and Jackson just drove her to the hospital," I tell her walking towards the kitchen.
"Oh shit! We'll leave now, can you drive Bree to the hospital?" She asks me almost tensed as she instructed the others something. I was the only one who wasn't freaking out about Amanda being in her labour or is it because I've never been to a child birth before even for my own child.
I sigh before nodding in Maria's direction and head into the kitchen to grab the thermos of coffee Maria made for me and yeah Bree too. The thought made me smile cause that how we used to be in high school. Bree used to always complain about me sipping on her coffee and with the most adorable pissed off expression.
"We're on our way Jackson. Just calm down," I hear Bree's calming voice and turn around to find her heading towards me. She's dressed in a white spaghetti top and blue jeans with her hair still wet from her quick shower falling down her shoulders. How the hell can I not think of touching her?
"Earth to sunshine," Bree snaps her fingers in front of my eyes, giggling. I roll my eyes before pecking her lips irrespective of who was around us before heading out of the kitchen as Bree talks to Maria. Right now looking at Bree reminds me that I wasn't there for her when she was giving birth to Jayden. I try telling myself that it's over now and I can't go back to fix the past but I just don't seem to get over the moments I've missed with Jayden.
"Aiden stop!" I hear Bree call out and stop dead in my tracks. I don't want to have this talk with her now and mess with her smile. She walks around me and stands in front of me before talking, "Aiden what happened? You look upset,"
She points out with a frown decorating her face which makes me smile a little and I tuck a loose strand of her hair behind her ear before talking, "It's nothing baby doll,"
By the look on her face, it's pretty clear that she's not convinced with my answer as always. Well what can I say, my girl reads my mind all the time as if it's an open book. Her lips press into a thin line before she speaks up, "thinking about Jayden?"
Oh damn! She really does know what's going on in my mind.
"Why do you have to read my mind all the time?" I ask her sighing as she cups my face forcing me to duck my head to her level before kissing me. Not only does she know what's going on in my mind but she also knows how to make me feel better. I let my free hand snake around her waist while kissing her back.
She breaks the kiss sooner and looks up at me, "Come on, let's welcome the new baby now. I'll be right next to you,"
I pull her into a hug and nod even if she can't see me. She's the only one who can make everything feel better. I kiss her neck before releasing her with a smile. "Shall we go now?"
"Yess," I drag the 's' as we walk out of the house with my arm around Bree's waist. Her birthday is coming up and she's got no idea what's in store for her.
"What's with that wide smile now?" Bree asks as she walks over to the other side of the car while I slide into the drivers seat. "Nothing really,"
Shrugging it off I start the car as I feel Bree's gaze fixed on me as if she's trying to understand what's going on in my head. "Stop stressing over my thoughts baby doll,"
"How can I not when you were so upset like ten minutes ago and now you've got this wide smile on your face,"
"It's nothing for you to worry about baby doll," I tell her as I figure out the way to the hospital and yeah still with a wide smile.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah,"
"You know I hate it when I don't know what's going on in that head of yours," She points outs with a frown.
"Don't let that frown take over your face baby doll. It's nothing you need to know," I tell her still facing the road with a smile.
"Whatever, I hate you for not telling me whatever it is," I risk a look at her before facing the road again with a grin.
"You've got a brother to worry about right now remember?" I try diverting her mind but that's Bree after all, it's next to impossible to divert her focus.
"Nice try Mr. Waters but sorry to break this to you that it's hard to divert my mind,"
"Oh come on! Don't be a grumpy person Bree," She sticks her tongue out as I stop the car at the hospitals parking lot.
"Shit Aiden! I bit my tongue now!" She hisses making me turn to look at her. "I'm sorry princess,"
"It's okay. Let's go now," She replies with the grumpy expression still plastered on her face. I grab her hand, pulling her back into the seat before she gets out of the car.
"Aiden wha-" I cut her off as I press my lips to hers in one shift move making her lips curve into a smile against mine. Mission accomplished!
"I love you," I whisper against her lips.
"Love you too," She pecks my lips and a camera flash interrupts us as Bree's eyes widen in horror.
God dammit! These media guys wouldn't leave us until they get a picture of us together.
"Brad send the guys now, our car is surrounded by the media," Bree continues talking over the phone as I roll my eyes at the people trying to take more pictures. I wish we were back in Washington right now. It was such an ease to live there when we were in high school.
"I wish we were back in Washington really," Bree speaks out my thoughts making me smile facing her.
"What are you doing next weekend?"
"Nothing really. We've got to start executing our work this week but I think once we're done assigning works, I'll be free unless another project comes up," She explains looking around our car.
"Keep yourself free then. I'm taking you on a date," I wait for her reaction with a grin.
"That's great!" She whisper shouts with a huge smile plastered across her face. The knock on my window interrupts us and I look out to find mine and Bree's bodyguards.
"What are we?" Bree asks in urgency.
"What do you want us to be?"
"You know what I want already," A blush creeps up her cheeks.
"Be my girlfriend?" I ask her and she nods as her smile widens.
Oh yes! I just officially asked Bree out for the second time ever since we met. What could be better than this?
"Time to go baby doll," I say with a grin before we get out of the car with our bodyguards surrounding us. I walk around and stretch my hand out for Bree before walking through the crowd.
Are you both dating now?
Is it true that you both are high-school sweethearts?
Damn! Where do they get all the news from?!
Are you both living together?
Are you getting married soon?
Here comes my favourite question though.
I look over to Bree to find her blushing crimson and a smirk finds its way to my face. We get into the elevator and finally breathe in ease. "I hate them so much right now. Well be all over the magazines this week,"
Bree grumbles making me chuckle? "Oh come on! It's not like we don't know how to deal with it,"
"I know," She rolls her eyes with a low frustrated groan so that only I could hear. The elevator doors open and we step out as our bodyguards leave us alone. Finally!
Bree rushes to Maria as soon as she sees her and I follow her while she turns back to look at me. "Want to be there with Jackson?"
She asks me with a smile and I give her an unsure nod before she drags me inside the hospital room and I hear a few sobs from Amanda. I look her face covered in tears and sweat and her huge belly standing out of her body as Jackson looks at her helplessly. God I wonder, how Bree went through this then. I barely know what's happening but from what I heard anand what I'm seeing right now, it's as worse as getting hit by a vehicle. "Bree! You guys are finally here! What took you so long?!"
Jackson starts questioning Bree with a worried and stressed out expression. I stand there rooted to the ground picturing Bree going through this. All I know is I'm so going to hate myself for not being there for her when she went through this pain. "Aiden," Jackson voice snaps me out of my thoughts.
"Hey," I say scratching the back of my head.
"It's good to see you guys back together," A smirk makes its way to his face and I smile. He's the guy I need to thank first for trusting me again.
"Ahh!" Amanda's deafening scream makes Jackson's expression change into a painful one.
"Ever been near a woman when she's delivering a baby?"
"No," I tell him with as I steal a glance at Bree.
"Was it this bad for Bree too?" I ask him nervously.
"She was worse actually. She almost hit Ricky and me that day. On a serious note, she wasn't that well after Jayden was out but she did recover well for him. Babies bring that change in you,"
"The baby is coming Jackson!" Amanda shouts again and the doctor rushes in asking me and Bree to get out of the room before I could react to what Jackson said. Bree grabs my hand urging me out and I just follow her still deep in thought.
"Aiden?"
"Hmm,"
"What are you think about?" Bree forces me to look at her.
"Nothing,"
"Then why are you giving me one word answers?" I sigh giving up. She knows me too well and it's hard to lie to her when looks at me straight in the eye.
"You went through that and I wasn't there with you," I tell her caressing her cheek and her eyes soften immediately.
"It's over now Aiden. It's in the past and you promised me not to let those thoughts consume you mind remember?" I nod trying to give her a smile. "Really?! You guys need to stop with that sexual tension around kids,"
Ricky voice makes me and Bree roll our eyes with huge smiles. "Says the one who still gets caught making out with his wife by his own daughter?"
I raise an eyebrow at Ricky with a smirk, "few habits die hard don't they?" I ask him giving him a bro hug.
"Why do you always have to have a way to get back at me?" Ricky asks Bree with a chuckle. Just like old times.
We hear a loud scream from Amanda resonating out the room getting our attention and probably signalling that the baby is out since we could hear the cries of a baby already. A huge smile tugs on Bree's lips as she looks at me, "I'm so damn sure it's a girl this time,"
She beams with excitement lacing in her eyes which makes me grin as I follow her walk towards the room, "Oh boy! You're whipped like always," Ricky teases me following us.
Shaking my head with a smile we wait for the news outside the room. "I'm just happy things are falling into place Ricky,"
I answer him with a smile but I know there're a hell lot of things I'm trying to ignore right now but sooner or later I'm going to have to face things. Talking to mom being the first thing on the list even if I'm beyond upset with her. I need to get answers for my son.
"It's a girl," the doc says stepping out of the room before telling us to enter two at a time.
I look over to Jackson holding the tiny human so carefully wrapped in a towel in his arms. He looks so damn content and happy, "It's barbie dolls this time,"
Jackson tells us making Bree giggle as she gets closer to the baby and I observe tears forming in her eyes. My breath hitches as I follow her to the baby. She's so tiny and fragile. Bree carries the baby and looks up at me indicating me to get closer. I stand behind Bree and take the baby hand around my finger. She grips my finger tight and it feels like the most fascinating thing I've ever seen.
Just then something triggers in my mind and I lean down to Bree's ear before whispering my thoughts, "let's have a baby,"
