Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 69 - Tides Will Bring Me Back To You
Oli's POV
Rain laid out in the bed, frustrated and weak. She had been slamming herself against the door as hard as she could. She wanted to do anything to loose her baby so that everything would be the way it was before. She begged me to let her leave and have it removed, but I wouldn't let her. She was crazy.
"You don't love me anymore Oli." She whispered, clinging on to her swelling stomach.
"I do." I replied, stroking her hair.
"No. If you loved me, you would have let me abort it. Because you know that this baby is going to neglected." She bit her lip and rolled over.
"I'm not letting you get rid of it. I'll take care of it myself, if I have to. You are out of your mind."
She rolled over and ignored me. "You never will love me like you loved SJ."
My eyes widened. How many times was she going to say this? She knew the answer, so I didn't bother to respond. I just sat there with self hatred. There was pressure building between us.
"If I didn't love you, I would have left you in the forest to die, Rain." I replied bitterly.
She sat forward with tears in her eyes. "Danny warned me that something was going to happen to me."
I pulled her closely into my chest and cover her up with the blankets. "Is that why you're trying to kill your own baby? Because you are worried something is going to happen?"
She starred at me, and then turned away, hiding in her messy hair. She gently rolled off me and laid on the pillow next to my hip. "Bring Hanley in here for me."
I got up and walked out through the hall, feeling the cold wooden flooring against my feet. He was in the nursery, playing with some old books.
"Come on. Mommy wants to see you." I lifted him up from the floor and carried him through the hall and into the bedroom.
He quietly walked to the side of the bed, not taking his eyes off Rain.
"My baby boy." She leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
"Are you feeling better?" He whispered. His innocent tone made us both melt for him. Rain swallowed hard and her eyes started to swell.
"No. Not today baby." She whispered. She hugged him tightly and then rubbed his hair.
He nodded and then stepped back. I hushed him away into his bedroom and closed the door on him. I felt bad for the kid, knowing that he was all on his own. But he seemed to cope alright. And I needed to make sure that Rain didn't kill herself or the baby. I just couldn't multitask between everyone. And worse of all, I couldn't call anyone to help me, because I'd lost everyone I knew.
