Freya's POV Standing in the shower as the hot water runs down my body, my legs felt weak, my breathing still a bit heavy as I thought about what had just happened between Andrew and I. How can I be okay with a one off with him, after what had occurred between us just now. How can we go back from that?The water began to run colder so I quicklywashed my hair then body before getting out. The water was dripping off of me onto the floor as I looked around to realize I never went into my own room to grab my towel.Cursing myself internally as I ran to my room grabbing my towel, wrapping it around me when I went back to the bathroom to open his door."Goodnight Andrew" I whispered unsure if he would even hear me when his fingers wrapped around mine that held his door, sparks flew through my hand giving me those butterflies again as I felt myself blush even though he couldn't see me. "Goodnight Freya, if you can't sleep you can always come in here."He whispered back to me when his thumb
Freya's POV My alarm started going off, quieter than I was used to because I had turned the volume down so I wouldn't wake up Andrew again. Turning to grab my phone I hit the x to turn it off when I felt movement next to me when arms pulled me back against the warm body in my bed making me gasp at the action.Shock ran through me momentarily until everything came rushing back to me, our conversation last night, how we laid together talking until we fell asleep.My heart fluttered at the thought, my skin pebbled from his touch as his fingers gently skimmed down my neck after he moved my hair away.I felt his lips press to my bare shoulder making me shiver at the act before I turned to face him. His eyes were still closed but he had the most tired, gorgeous smile on his face when his eyes finally opened, looking at me, his smile getting bigger."Good morning beautiful girl."I couldn't help the ridiculous smile that formed on my face as I felt my face heat all the way to my ears makin
Andrew's POV Waking up to her, her scent surrounding me, the feelnof her skin touching mine, I was overwhelmed with emotions and thoughts.Her kisses burned through my system as it shot straight down between my legs.Laying with her, sleeping with her, being able to touch her was everything I'd ever imagined and so much more than that as well. When I had handed her my shirt, the waybher eyes lit up, the pure joy and excitement that took over her features made my heart jump, such a simple act made her so incredibly happy.This girl was something else, I truly doubt there is anyone else like her in this world.When I got downstairs I figured I make her some eggs and toast so she could eat something but her reaction to them caught me off guard.I couldn't understand why she was so thankful until she said that she wasn't used to it, the fact that her dad always left before she even woke up for school, of course she wasn't used to someone cooking. Makes sense why she was so thrown yet ov
Freya's POV School has been dull this morning. Addy asked me a million questions about Andrew, which honestly drove me a bit crazy, I don't want to talk about him where other can hear us but she is overly excited about the situation."Do you want to date him or sleep with him?""Addy! Seriously, why because we live in the same house you think I'll just give it up?""Well dating will probably be a difficult thing to do considering... Oh wait what about Friday night with Cody?"I contemplated telling her that I didn't want to because of Andrew, that he wants to bring me to see it himself but I opted with keeping this one to myself for now."Actually because it's so late he doesn't want me to go so I'm going to have to let Cody know when we see him later."She looked at me, so many more questions plaguing her eyes yet she finally chose to stop asking them."Makes sense, you don't really do late night stuff, I know your dad worries."Sighing in relief at how she dropped it made me feel t
Freya's POV Continued "Freya, you've been hiding from me, why?"Still staring into his eyes as he tilts his head to the side, that glimmer in his eyes making me feel uneasy, fear flowing through me at what he is thinking right now.I've managed to avoid him for months, he doesn't even come to school here anymore since he graduated last year.I had hopes he found a new girl to torment with what he says is love, because his outlook on love is skewed.Last year was a nightmare for me, all because of him. We dated for just over six months, from The end of November til May.It all started great, he was sweet, loving, never pressured me into anything, he was my first kiss, the first guy I thought I fell in love with, all until that night."Why don't you answer my calls anymore? Making me come all the way back to this school just to find you, get you alone."My heart was caught in my throat, pounding so deeply I swore I might choke when his hand came up to my face making me flinch away.Hi
Andrew's POV I got to the school where I saw Freya's friends all standing outside but I didn't see her. I pulled out my phone to text her but no response came through, it didn't even come up as read. I waited for a while but still nothing, my mind was racing when I noticed that her friends were going inside so I jumped out of the truck yelling for Addy."Addy! Have you seen Freya?"She turned quickly to face me when she smiled brightly at me before shaking her head."No, but we have drama now so I'm sure she will be in there, sometimes she goes to the library instead of outside with us if she has extra work to do.""Got ya, mind if I come to drama with you to make sure she's there? She isn't checking her phone."Her eyes widened when I said that as I watched her pull her phone out but continued walking to their practice room.Upon entering, we didn't see her so she texted her but no response."I'll go check the library to see if she's there."Nodding to her I decided to head back t
Freya's POV The ride to the house was quiet, Andrew held my hand the entire time in an attempt to comfort me but all I could think about was how we didn't talk like he wanted to because of everything that happened with Trevor.My mind still reeling at him showing up there, how can he say he loves me then treat me in such a way, always force himself on me.The restraining order had given me a sense of security, but more so the fact that I hadn't seen him. With everything going on with Andrew, I actually forgot about him for the first time since everything so him showing up while I was alone, in my favorite place, broke something inside of me.Between that happening, losing that sense of security along with the whole 'I want to talk to you later', it sort of feels like I'm losing everything at the same time.I stared out the window when we pulled up to the house, dreading walking inside before having this talk, not wanting to do it upstairs quietly so my father doesn't hear, or waiting
Andrew's POV Standing in the doorway with her dad as I watched my mother with her, they were hugging one another as Freya cried, it broke my heart to see her looking so broken, I understand some of her art even more now than I had before, knowing what the darkness was makesnher work even more powerful than I already thought it was."Thank you again Andrew" Her father said while watching them."I'm happy I was there Mr. Lothbrok.""Call me Stephen, please.""Okay, Stephen."I stood in the door after our parents left rhe room leaving her alone as she sat down when I made myself inside before closing her door quietly.Walking to her bed I sat down next to her, looking over at her with a smile on my face looking at her tear stained cheeks that still looked breathtakingly beautiful. "Andrew, what are we?"She asked me abruptly, I wasn't expecting her to talk about this after everything but I've also told her I want to be with her, maybe she just needs to hear a more solid answer, somethi
Five Years LaterFreya's POV "Mom! Tell Stephen he has to stop drawing on my wall!"Walking into Torvi's bedroom I find Stephen with chalk all over his hands and clothes as he is drawing all over the chalk board wall we made inside Torvi's room, covering some things that she had already done.Grabbing the chalk from Stephen he starts to get upset because he wanted to keep drawing everywhere. "I want to color mommy, please!""Come on silly boy, you know you aren't supposed to go in your sister's room, let alone draw over her things. I'll get you the easel out so you can draw on there."Walking out I grabbed the kids size easel out of the closet in the hall before seeing it up in the sun room so he could paint or color, or even do a chalk drawing if he so chooses."Thanks mommy!"He set to making a mess but was all smiles while doing so. Shaking my head with a smile on my face I walked back to check on Torvi."Sorry bug, maybe I will do a wall in his room now too, he's old enough. Do y
Freya's POV After spending three nights in the hospital with my son, Torvi came up everyday with Andrew to see us, we finally are being released to head home."Hello Freya, how are we feeling this morning? Are you both ready to go home today?""Definitely, I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again, not that I don't live it here with you guys constantly help takebcare of us."The nurse laughed as she took Stephen's vitals then checked me one last time."Do you want to shower before you leave or wait till you get home?""I'd like a quick one while I'm here, you know, just my body. Then I will take a full one once I'm back home, my hair is still gross from the last one considering he kept forgetting the conditioner."We laughed together while we had some small talk before breakfast was brought in to me."When you are finished eating I'll come back to keep an eye on little man here while you wash up. We are all going to miss you both so much, plus that little Torvi coming in every day.""
Andrew's POV I woke up to feeling a wetness on the bed when my eyes shot open to see Freya trying to sit up as she was breathing heavily."My... water... it broke..."She breathed out heavily as I jumped up out of the bed, ripping my clothes off as I grabbed some new ones out of my dresser as fast as humanly possible before rushing to her side of the bed.I helped her sit up while grabbing her shoes to put on her feet while grabbing her some new underwear with a pad in it, in hopes that may help her out for the car ride.After slipping those on her as she groans while gripping her belly I managed to get some pants on her while helping her into a sports bra before throwing one of her pregnancy tops over her."How far apart are your contractions?""I'm not sure, maybe seven or eight minutes. Go check on Torvi then let Damon know we need to go to the hoSPITAL!"She started panting harder as she gripped herself again, making me rush to check on Torvi before knocking on Damon's door as I
Freya's POV Continued The last few months have been great. I started my job at the college shadowing my professor while taking my classes online for teaching.Things have been running smoothly. The holidays, along with Torvi's fifth birthday party were great. I love having our parents here as well as Torvi's friends from school.I'm due in two weeks but my doctor believes I can go at any time. I'm way bigger with this little man than I ever was with Torvi. My feet hurt all the time and so does my back. I have a constant pressure, down there, making walking for to long very uncomfortable but Andrew takes wonderful care of me and having Damon with us really helps out with Torvi during the days.My last day at the school is tomorrow before I'm on leave, which is a blessing and a curse honestly. The thought of staying on my feet makes me want to just lay in bed for hours but the thought of being stuck at home laying in bed makes me want to go for a walk.It's crazy how that works, my em
Freya's POV I was standing in the shower, the water cascading down my body, the heat seeping into my bones relieving the chill I had been feeling as the steam surrounded me while fogging up the room.I love the feel of the heat running over me, the way it relaxes my body, eases the back pain I had been experiencing making me feel a bit better as I stood there leaning my forehead on my hands that were laying upon the tiles as the water beat down on my back.Lost in the feel of everything I never even noticed the door opening until I got hit with a cold draft as my curtain opened ever so slightly as hands gripped my hips from behind me making me jump a bit from being startled as a small shriek left my lips.Those sparks rushing through my body as butterflies hit my stomach making my care pulse as heat rushed through me in a different way than what the hot water does to me.My body being pulled flush into a hard body behind me as I felt the heat from his breath brush across my neck befo
Damon's POV"La la lala, love.""Wa was wuv.""You are so close my princessa, so close, getting better every day. Do you want a snack before mommy gets back with lunch or do you want to wait?""Keep play with me, I want to color with you."She jumped up to her feet before hopping a bit with a giant smile on her face. I can't even describe how much I love this little girl or how I am lucky enough to get to be a part of her life and watch her grow. I hope that one day I will get to experience this with my own child, but finding a love like Andrew has with Freya seems to be a difficult thing to find.After everything with Cory, I just don't even have the tiniest of umph to want to start dating again. She literally hated me spending time with my family, I can't be with someone like that. We are young, I mean I'm only 22 years old, shouldn't she be happy I'd rather spend extra time with my family, one of which is someone she had grown up with their entire lives, than going out to clubs or
Freya's POV Continued Spending time with our parents was wonderful but it's nice to have our home back without the extra people I felt I needed to keep entertaining when all I wanted to do was sleep in one morning before I started my online classes.Of course I didn't get that because I have Torvi running around the house like a crazy girl while playing, dancing, singing and eating constantly today.She has been on a new level of hyper this morning when she rushed into my room before jumping on the bed at six making me groan as Andrew rolled out of bed to get ready for work. Torvi was playful all while she snuggled up next to Mr, her little hands gripping my face making sure I looked at her."Morning mommy, can I have a pop tart pwease?""Mmm of course my little bug, come on."I kissed her cheek as she smiled at me before I liftednher up to place her down onto the floor next to the bed when she took off running making me shake my head while I chuckled a bit."She has enough energy f
Freya's POV I'm about to graduate college along side my best friend and brother while my husband sits with our parents, along with our precious Torvi in the stands to watch Damon and I walk across a stage to get our degrees.After I told Andrew we were pregnant we had Damon move back home with us the same evening.This past week has been a breeze, even after he was gone for over a year, it went right back to normal without a hiccup. Torvi has been over the moon to have her story time buddy back for bedtimes, she loves her Uncle Damon like another parent.Andrew wanted to call our parents straight away but the next morning when I went to call them he stopped me that time, saying he wanted to wait to tell them in person after the graduation, I agreed with him because I didn't want to miss my dad's reaction when he finds out.I went to get some little things to surprise them with the news too, I can't wait to give it to them later this evening at our celebration dinner.Damon helped me
Andrew's POV Continued After Freya went into the bedroom, Damon and I sat out in the living room for a while longer. I could see he wanted to talk to me about what was going on but was hesitating at the same time. "You know, you can tell me anything, right?"He nodded as he laid his head back on the back of the couch while he sighed deeply."All we did was fight man, it started before we moved in, but once we lived together it was bad, she was always angry, upset with me for something or other. It was just to much, then yesterday it got really bad because..."He got quiet as he swallowed deeply before lifting his head up as he sat forward putting his face I his hands while shaking his head."Because you come over here to much?"He moved his hands, his eyes shifting upwards to look at me."You know that's an issue?""Freya noticed first, then after she said something I saw it too, guess I just didn't pay attention enough, or care really, when she didn't come. But after Frey pointed i
