MEL POV I slowly opened my eyes adjusting to the bright light of what seemed to be a hospital room, I looked to the side and saw my mom sitting in a chair next to me and placed a palm on her chestwith relief when she saw me look at her."Melanie thank God" She sighed in relief gripping my hand in hers."What happened?" I croaked out rubbing my eyes."Charlotte called an ambulance for you, she said you fainted and I got here as quickly as I could and Charlotte stayed with you until I got here," Sheexplained and holding my hand tightened."We were so worried sweetie, I frowned and my eyes began to well up with tears, what the fuck is wrong with me I cry every second.The doctor walked through the door before I could say anything and our heads turned to him "How are you feeling Melanie?" He asked."I'm okay now, I think," I said."We ran some tests to see what the problem was, you're perfectly healthy and the fall didn't do any damage but you may have a headache for a few days which w
MEL POV Later that day I was discharged from hospital, Leo drove us to his place which I was comfortable in and he showered me with a ton of kisses when we finally got settled in. Normally when he kisses me I can smell alcohol on his breath but this time it was different.There was no alcohol and there was only a happy Leo, not an angry or moody or drunk Leo, just a smiling Leo who gives me a lot of affection."My mom is coming over for dinner tonight, I was wondering if you wanted to stay and join us?" He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me to his chest."It's fine if you don't feel like it, I just thought I should tell you," He said tucking a strand of hair behind my ear and I looked at him intently."I would love to, your mom is sweet" I smiled and he chuckled moving his eyes down my body."Do you want to go home and change?" he asked and I scoffed."Do I not look good in this?" I joked and he tilted my cheek up with his finger."No" He chuckled."You look beautiful in an
MEL POV "Fuck, sorry I need to take this call, I'll be back in 5 minutes" Leo kissed my cheek and went over to the living room to take his call now it was just Heather and me."Does Leo know?" She asked resting her elbows on the table."About what?" I furrowed my eyes with confusion, Throughout the dinner Heather was giving me strange looks and shot curious glances at me like she was trying to figure something out, and Iknew exactly what."It's the baby, It's not like you to turn down a drink Melanie, you also haven't looked Leo in the eyes or me since I got here" She said."He doesn't know" I whispered not daring to maintain eye contact with her, although she was sweet to me I was still intimidated by her."I'm happy for you both and I'm also excited to meet my grandchild, Nicole never wanted to give him a baby, I saw it in her eyes, but you will be the best mother I can tell" I cringed at the name Nicole and I took in her words slowly.I didn't want to upset her especially since s
MEL POV I WEEK LATER "Stop stressing out, you look beautiful," I said as I placed my hand on the stressed bride standing in front of me.She had 10 minutes before she walked down the aisle and she was freaking out, worried that she wasn't good enough."What if I'm not what he wants? What if he's making the wrong decision? I mean, look at me," she exclaimed, vigorously applying more blush to her already pink cheeks."I look like a whore on my wedding day, my breasts are out and they look saggy, and don't even get me started on my hair, it's too much, isn't it? I should just leave it down" She rambles."You better shut the fuck up before I slap you" I chuckle "He loves you, please stop stressing out.This is your wedding day, you are more than enough for him and he is lucky to have such an amazing girl like you""You think so? I do think my breasts look saggy" She examines her breasts in the mirror and pushes them up slightly."They look fine Charlotte" I giggle and she smiles turning
MELANIE POVShortly after Leo and I talked for a moment, Leo headed to the bathroom to freshen up leaving me to sit here alone,however, he did invite me to go with him, and maybe have a quick fuck. But having sex at my best friend's wedding seemed a little disrespectful to me so unfortunately I turned him down.I watched all the guests partying on the dancefloor and they looked like they were having fun, I glanced over to Charlotte who gave me a wink when Dean was dancing with her and whispering things in her ear. I rolled my eyes at her and she stuck her middle finger up at me causing me to giggle out loud."Having fun? unfamiliar man's voice asked, I peered up at him.He had dark hair and brown eyes with a clean-shaven face. He looked around Leo's age and he towered over me even though I was sitting down."Hum yeah" I murmured awkwardly."You a friend of Charlotte's?" He asked pulling out the chair that Leo sat on before and sitting down beside me."Yeah, I was her maid of honor
LEO POV The whole ride home was silent, Melanie was fidgeting with her freshly painted nails while I was gripping the steering wheel with force. I couldn't help but feel like something happened when she went back inside. Fuck I should've gone in with her. "Did Lucas say something to you?" I asked her hopeful that he didn't hurt her. She's been through so much already, she was once assaulted and almost raped, not to mention when I put my hands on her, all those years ago and now she's carrying a baby. Our baby. "No why?" She said picking at her nails.I clenched my jaw, she was hiding something from me. "You haven't been the same since you came out that door" "He didn't say anything I just feel sick and I want to go home like, I said" She snapped at me. "Is it the baby?" I questioned. "What else would it be" She scoffed slumping down in her seat. "I don't like that tone," I said, my jaw clenched once again and my grip on the wheel tightened. "I don't like that tone" She
MEL POV Now cuddled up in bed with Leo, his fingertips caressing my arm with my head resting on his hard chest I was starting to get worried. I hadn't heard anything from Lucas, I mean that's supposed to be a good thing but when he says something bad is going to happen to me and my child I would at least like a warning.Fuck."Tell me what Lucas said to you" Leo spoke up huskily, his fingertips felt as soft as ever trailing across my arm."I told you he didn't say anything" I argued which made Leo get up from the bed, I whined from the loss of his touch and he stared at me with those deep blue eyes of his."Don't bullshit me Melanie" He spoke sternly "I know he said something to you it's obvious""I can't" I whispered."Why not?" He chuckled, nothing was amusing about this."Just leave it, Leo, it's not important" I groaned slumping back on the pillow yet his eyes remained on my face waiting for me to give him an answer."Just let me go to sleep" I breathed, my voice laced with anno
MEL POV 2 MONTHS LATER Sitting in the office in the evening was way too boring for my liking. I sat on my desk playing with my pens since I finished my work early but David wanted me to stay late for some reason. All I wanted to do was go home and be in the arms of my boyfriend. I also successfully moved into Leo's house, so now we're living together we can focus on the baby. I don't have much of a showing bump yet but it's getting there ever so slightly. I told Charlotte the news of my pregnancy a few weeks ago and she almost hugged me to death squealing in excitement. The thing I'm most excited about is finding out the gender which we can hopefully do in a few weeks. Leo wants a girl because he wants her to be just like me which I think is adorable and I want a boy but we'll be happy with whichever we get. "Aren't you supposed to be doing work, Miss Vaughn?" Leo's voice interrupted me from my thoughts, he stood at the door with files in his hand wearing the beautiful b
