Charlotte's POV
Life was hard, and trying to be okay was even harder. It wasn't my finest hour when I ran from Jacksonville, from David. But I felt it in my heart that I couldn't handle what waited for me there. I couldn't go back, and In saying that I never told David about the pregnancy.
Honestly, I never told anyone the truth. My family thinks that it was a one night stand and I just needed a fresh start away from Alex and that's why I moved.
Technically most of that is true, David and I only spent that night and morning together so I wasn't full on lying to them about the one night stand line.
But When I receive a call from my mother my heart dropped into my stomach.
I knew aunt Lydia was sick but I really thought she would make it longer than she did.
It had been two years since I stepped foot anywhere near where I used to call home. But I knew I had to go back and be there for her funeral, I w

Charlotte's POV The funeral was exceptionally beautiful, and I was just so happy to be surrounded by my family and love. I'd felt so alone over the last two years it felt good to be with them, Even in these circumstances. Everyone was meeting back at my mothers house just to spend time together and talk about our aunt. But heading back there to the house I got this sinking feeling in my stomach, something is wrong. Something bad is about to happen. I thought I would have enough luck to get through these two weeks unscathed. Looking back, I really shouldn’t have thought that. I should have known that luck wouldn’t be on my side, not when it comes to him. That despite it being a large town, we’d run into each other at exactly the right time, in exactly the right second.That’s just how it works with us.I feel him before I see him, the former familiar sensation returning strong.

Charlotte's POV The minute I hear his footsteps running in behind me yelling for grandma I know I'm absolutely fucked. When David's gaze drifts past me I can see the minute he figures it out, his face falls and I can see the confusion in his eyes. Before he even gets a word out Alex starts speaking. "Char, hey. We just wanted to stop by and see if you needed anything and I really wanted to talk to you about some stuff." Good god, Alex hasn't even questioned who the little boy is but I know it's com- "uh, and who is this?" Alex asks. Staring daggers at me. What the fuck for I have no idea. He has no right to be here or to be questioning me, in over six years he's never tried to contact me even once. And just as I'm about to open my mouth and tell him exactly that Killian runs over to me, Grabbing onto my hand."Mommy mommy mommy, grandma said we could have ice cream for desert if that's okay with you?" I could see the questio

David's POV I can feel the minute she walks in to the house, my body always aware of hers. The pain that I felt in my chest for the last two years suddenly eases and everything else fades away. But the look across as her face makes me instantly regret talking Alex into coming here. I just wanted to see her and get a chance to explain what really happened when she saw Jill and I that day. Jill had come over to apologize for the way that she acted when I told her that I had wanted a divorce, but she also tried to talk me out of it. Touching me constantly and pleading with me just to give her another chance, I couldn't get her out of my apartment fast enough. Jill was my first love and I would always care about her but I just didn't love her anymore. The minute I opened the door I knew my mistake, and the way it looked and how Charlotte would interpret this. But all the preparation in the world couldn't prepare me for the gut wrenching feeling that

David's POV When I heard Charlie was coming back for the funeral I knew that this would be my only chance to see her and explain what really happened. I had tried talking to her while she was here but she was avoiding me at every turn. Charlotte had stopped taking my calls and started expertly avoiding me after that day with Jill on the porch. I thought that she just might need some space so when I came home to people moving her things out my heart broke. So I called Alex to see what was going on, but apparently Anna the women he cheated on Charlotte with was no moving in and they had already signed the divorce papers. This was it, she was really leaving. I would never get a chance explain. I wouldn't get a chance to tell Charlotte how much she meant to me and then I was in love with her and I didn't mean to ruin it. So this funeral is my last chance to win Charlie back. But the minute I heard those footsteps running towards us e

Charlotte's POV Alex yelling was the first thing to register after my brain started coming out of the fog. Trying to focus on what he was going on about when my mom started to rush Killian out of the room. When I finally got my heart to stop beating in my ears I caught the tail ends of what Alex was saying. "-Do this to me? Is that your child David?" Oh, sweet Jesus. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen. The next thing to register in my brain was the fact punches were being thrown, screaming coming from every corner of the house. Before I was aware that My body was moving I was putting myself inbetween David and Alex. I wasn't scared of getting in the middle of their fight and getting hurt. I knew it was a high possibility but it just needed to stop. They couldn't hurt each other because of me, I wouldn't allow it. When my father and I finally pulled them apart David tried lunging at Alex again.

Charlotte's POV "Okay you two need to leave, we just burried my sister and you two want to break into a fight in the middle of my home? Get out. Get out right now." My mother sobbed. Killian came barreling into the living room trying to hide behind me, terrified from all of the yelling and the two over sized men fighting.Alex and David turned towards me, wide eyed and questioning written all over their faces. I couldn't handle it, I couldn't face them. Not after what they'd done and how they looked at me. So I grabbed Killian and broke out into a run towards the front door. "Charlotte!" I could hear David yelling from behind me, but I just needed to get out of here. Coming back here was a mistake, one of the worst choices that I've made in a long time.When two arms enclosed around me and they actually lifted me off of the ground, stopping me from running completely. Leaning down and whispering in my ear sounding broken,

David's POV Seeing Char run away from me again wasn't something that I could handle. Without thinking I bolted out the front door after her. I couldn't lose her again. Not now, not ever. As soon as my hands wrapped around her I broke, begging her to stop running from me. When her body melts into mine my breath comes to a standstill inside my lungs. Slowly I see her mother come out to collect the little dark haired boy and bring him back inside, reminding me we're not alone. I can see Alex standing off to the side just watching us, with his mouth hanging open. When I finally put Charlie down and she turns around the look in her eyes tells me that I did the right thing coming after her. My mouth opens and closes trying to find the right words to say to her. Tears fill her eyes and I reach out to steady her arm when she starts to sway. "David." She barley whispers."Charlie, w

Charlotte's POV I dreamt of this moment for years, but nothing could prepare me for how it really feels. His lips part and I watch as his chest rise and falls with each quickening breath. Hes for facial hair now, a small amount of stubble around his mouth, lower cheeks and chin. His dark hair forms his forehead, in desperate need of a cut, still styled the same messy way. Its all I can do to take my mind off just how badly I want to grab it and pull it. Hard. His blue irises shine; matching the shirt he's wearing underneath his suit jacket so well. The tattoos that peak out of his shirt collar are new and my fingers itch to run over them, re-learning every part of his body. God. Hes still desirable as ever, still makes my heart feel like it's trying to beat out of my chest every time he looks at me. Neither one of us smiling, just staring at each other, both not sure what to do.

David's POV "I- please fuck me." She whispers, trying to reach for my cock. "You know I can't. Not yet, not until the doctor gives the okay Charlie." I'm just as disappointed as she is, but my one track mind is already making my way back to how her breast feels in my mouth. My tongue can't stop swirling around and playing with her nipple. My hand is like a magnet as it strokes up and down my shaft. "My pussy is throbbing, please." She whimpers again. Its killing me not being able to satisfy her right now, but I can't hurt her. She moans once more, stuffing her breast in my face as her hand seeks out her clit. I stand up, pushing her breast together, sticking my shaft between them. Pressing my thumb around her nipples while her milk sprays all over me. She reaches up playing with my balls and trying to lick the tips that peaks through her cleavage when I thrust up.

David's POV Just as I finish reading the cute little note Charlie put inside my lunch there's a light knock on the door. I hate being here while she's at home with the boys, and my three weeks off since Henry was born weren't entirely enough. The door handle turns before I have the chance to tell whomever it is to come in. In walks Charlie, shutting the door and locking it behind her. "Char? Is everything okay?" I immediately jump up. "Uh. Yes and no." Panic washes over me, is something wrong with the boys? "No! No, it's nothing serious," she exclaims upon seeing my expression and I plop down in my desk chair, trying to will my heart to slow down. "Where are the boys?" "With my mom, she came over to help with stuff around the house and I decided to run some errands around town." "And your warrants brought you to my office?" I question suspiciously.

David's POVNurse perky comes in to check on Charlie, waking her up."Hey honey, when did you get back?" She asks, sleep still heavy in her voice."A little over an hour ago."The nurse fumbles with her chart, checking her vitals and leaving as I sit down next to Charlie on her bed."Ready for another?" I whisper.She bites her lip and smiles, like she always does when I ask."I just pushed out this one David. Give it awhile and ask again." She laughs quietly."We already got married while I was extremely pregnant, people thought it was a shotgun wedding. I want people to know we're married because we love each other deeply. Not because you got me pregnant, twice.""Maybe I got you pregnant because I love you deeply, both times.""Yeah," she scoffs. "Okay, we both know that neither of us meant for this to happen.""I know, but I'm glad I did," I kiss her. "Our boys are perfect, you're perfect.""They

"Go away David," my lips tremble. "Char, I'm so sorry." He falls to the floor on his knees next to me, trying to hold onto me while I give him a dirty look. Pause "I'm such an asshole. I- I'm-." He sighs. "Clearly at a loss for words, I don't know what came over me Charlie. I was shocked.." he exhaled. "I can see why you didn't want to tell me sooner."
