“They patched him up right here after which arrested him,” he mentioned, working his thumb over my knuckles. “He’s going away for a very long time.”

Inserting a straw within the cup, Toby guided it to my lips and I drank gratefully. The water was cool, washing the dryness away from my mouth and soothing the ache in my throat in just some gulps. Then I licked my lips and my gaze flitted between all of them.

“He’s gone?” I whispered.

“He’s gone,” Toby assured me.

Exhausted tears of reduction flooded up in my eyes and Lucas’ hand moved as much as my forearm.

“And also you’re okay. He shot you, nevertheless it hit you within the aspect. Skimmed previous all of the essential stuff and got here out the opposite aspect,” Toby mentioned softly.

“You’re going to be okay,” Danny assured me softly, his eyes by no means leaving my face.

“Sebastian?”

“I’m okay.” Sebastian waved one hand from the place he was sitting. “I’d rise up, however y’know.”

“He virtually acquired right into a fistfight with an orderly,” Danny chuckled. “They didn’t need him to maneuver however he insisted on being right here. To be sure to have been okay.”

“Oh god.” It was lots to course of via a thoughts working too sluggishly and I closed my eyes, ideas swimming till they settled on one essential element. My child. Slowly, I opened my eyes and checked out Toby, the one one I may dare to take a look at. In spite of everything, everybody else was probably the daddy.

“The infant?” I whispered.

Toby’s face softened, and he glanced at his mates. “Your child is okay. They need to do a couple of extra exams if you find yourself prepared. Once we advised them you have been pregnant, they instantly checked.”

Extra tears crammed my eyes, and once I blinked, they fell. I hadn’t had any thought on what I wished to do with the newborn, however these few seconds of not understanding advised me all I wanted to know.

I wished to maintain the newborn. My concern for its security advised me that a lot. Lucas’ heat hand cupped my cheek and I tentatively leaned into it, opening my eyes as he swiped at my tears along with his thumb.

“Scarlett, why didn’t you inform us you have been pregnant?”

“We don’t have to do that now,” Danny mentioned. “That may wait.”

“No,” I whispered. “It’s okay. I simply…” Pausing, my voice acquired stronger as I spoke, and the final of the fuzziness light from my imaginative and prescient, changed with the blur of tears. “I didn’t discover out till I got here again house. I used to be unwell however I believed it was simply… heartbreak.”

“I’m sorry,” Toby murmured. “Me and my huge mouth.”

“No,” Sebastian mentioned. “We should always have advised her from the start. We should always have been trustworthy as quickly as we began to really feel one thing.”

“It’s okay,” I mentioned, sniffling. “I perceive. It sucks, and I nonetheless damage about it however I perceive. After I got here again, the whole lot was terrible, so it made sense however then Lily introduced me a check and when it got here again optimistic, I went to the physician as a result of I’m on the tablet.” Tears continued to nicely and fall, and I fought again the sob effervescent in my chest. “She advised me that the stress of the whole lot with journey, the Will, and all of that would have contributed, after which I didn’t know what to do.”

Lucas glanced away to Danny, who in flip glanced at Sebastian. It was as in the event that they have been having a silent dialog I wasn’t allowed to listen to.

“Anyway, I solely came upon a couple of days in the past, and the whole lot’s been so loopy. After which I felt so responsible as a result of I’ve been ingesting?—.”

“Hey, hey,” Toby spoke up instantly. “You didn’t know. It’s okay, you didn’t know.”

“How far alongside are you?” Lucas requested softly.

“Uhm, 3-4 weeks, I believe she mentioned?” I pressed my head again into the pillow, not sure who to even have a look at. “After which I-I didn’t know what I used to be alleged to do, and even easy methods to transfer ahead and now with Shane and the whole lot, I’m simply—the whole lot appears like a big mess!”

The tears got here thick and quick then as all of the concern and rigidity from the final day or so, coupled with the concern of getting a child all on my own, burst forth. Lucas surged up and hugged me, leaning over as rigorously as he dared to keep away from the bandages round my waist.

“Scarlett, it’s okay,” he murmured in my ear as I clutched at him. “We’re right here, okay? We’re right here for you. No matter you need to do, we’re right here, do you perceive? We’re not going anyplace.”

In some way, that made me cry tougher.

“I really like you guys,” I sobbed. “Like actually love. I didn’t notice till I believed it was throughout and I do know that sounds silly, proper? How may I not know. However I’m and that’s why it hurts a lot once I thought it was all faux as a result of I’m in love with you. All of you.”
