Chapter 146: Life Goes on
Amaris's POV
Kian thuds his hand on the table and screeched.
"I should have treated him rightly"
I closed my eyes, heartbroken and exhaling softly. That line was meant for me, if only I got to understand him.
Some colleagues were here too, soliciting and commenting on his good deeds.
I let out a wry smile watching everyone. No one came close to me, I just wanted to be alone just not to pass out.
Flynn had told me to stay strong for the baby in my womb and that's the best thing I could do.
I stayed in that position until everyone faded away except Mia and Flynn. I chose to remain here even though Caleb has gone six feet under.
It took a while for me to accept Flynn's offer to take me home, mia intended to come along but she really missed days at work.
I had to dismiss her just so her work wouldn't be affected because of me.
I couldn't even sleep and Flynn ended up sleeping beside me.
I cried in his arms and confessed I loved Caleb. He did his best to console me.
I fell ill, not wanting to eat but he kept forcing claiming I'd die at this rate and because I wanted to live for my child, I forced myself to eat while sobbing for the lose of Caleb.
It's four months now and I was in his study room, staring at his photography, the one we took together.
I chuckled at the memories, I still had his ring and the memories of being abducted by him filled my head.
My thought was interrupted when Flynn walked in with a bowl of ice-cream.
"Care to talk?"
I nodded with a sad smile as he came to sit opposite me.
He placed the bowl of ice-cream in front of me and there two spoon in it.
"Mind if I see?" He asked and I nodded again while handing him over the photograph.
"He looks so happy in it" he whispers and my smile broadens.
"You look as though you'd beat him up" he added and I shared the memory and secret behind those pictures.
It was certainly when we went on the field trip and Flynn laughed. I was forced to laugh.
"Seriously? How can he be so unromantic?" Flynn teased laughing the more.
"Yeah right, I felt my legs should be cut off" I added and then took a scoop of ice-cream.
"It reminds me of when we were kids, I challenged him to a race" he began and I was intrigued to hear more.
"That was my lose because he ran like a cheetah even after the finished line and I ended up laughing at him"
He confessed and I smiled while trying to control my tears.
"Childhood was really hard for him, but we always try to get along"
"He was working on himself eventually" I added while taking a spoonful of ice-cream.
Flynn hadn't touched it and I didn't mind as I needed something sweet. My thought were distracted not until I felt his thumb rubbing my lips.
It was an ice-cream spill and he licked the stain off his thumb.
"Not bad" he whispers and I swallowed hard.
"Flynn about last time..."
"It's okay, I'm sorry about that, I know I shouldn't, I was just trying to make you feel better" he cuts in with a sincere look at me.
Nevertheless, I still felt insecure, he was staying with me and haven't touched me which was quite a relief though.
"I just hope to see you smile again" he said and my smile faded. It's never genuine again but when it will be, it would take time.
"How's the company?" I questioned and he folded his lips while raising a thumb up for me.
Although, I was feeling uncomfortable as the baby in my womb seems to be kicking and I was swallowing hard.
He was helping me out in the supervision. I nodded yet again and he snickered.
"It seems i'd be calling you Ms nod" he said and I scoffed but then I widened my eyes.
"Flynn!" I screamed and he shuddered throwing his gaze at me. I was panting hard, scared and confused.
"My water just broke!"
"What!" He laments while jerking up from the chair. My body was vibrating as I tried to swallow but the pain was something else.
He seems confused, pacing to and fro and trying to call an ambulance.
"Do something!" I cried with spread legs and the phone in his hand slipped off.
Quickly, he tried to call me in his arms but I screamed at him to just walk me out.
I couldn't even move as my hands gripped him, slapped and yelled at him to be fast.
Even though he was trying his best, it wasn't enough. In a short while, I found myself in the hospital, being driven on a stretcher to a ward where i'd deliver.
Flynn had to act as my spouse because I needed someone to hold on to, to scream at.
He was in the delivery room with me and it was damn painful. He was tensed and for the time I could see him crying, trying to comfort that i won't have a second child.
He didn't even shed tears in Caleb's funeral but he was doing that with me here.
***
All my ears heard were congratulations as I cuddled my baby in my arms. Flynn heaved a sigh, sitting beside me.
He seems more worked up than i was like he was the one who went through much trouble than I.
Mia, Kian and Davis were here now as my baby was placed in a cradle.
They had a cheerful gaze at me while Davis didn't cease teasing Flynn who looked so unkept.
"One might think you're the father, he has your eyes" Mia teased and everyone burst into laughter except me.
I rolled my eyes to my baby who was asleep. It's just an eye color and all babies looks alike until a certain month when their faces begins to give form.
I didn't even listen to them anymore and just kept eating my foot eagerly as Flynn serves me.
"Oh my gosh, Flynn you're so romantic..."
"Mia, talk about the mother and not me or I'd send you away" Flynn snapped returning a glare at her.
