The next morning your released from the hospital. Lyla comes to pick you up, to take you home. You’re shocked and surprised to find Chibs sleeping in a chair outside your hospital room door.
You reach down shaking him awake, he sits up looking around. He quickly stands up, his hands caressing your face. “Is everything okay?”
You step back out of his reach, not wanting him to know, the effect his touch has on you. “Lyla is taking me home.”
“I’ll follow you, make sure you get there safely.” You push past him, not wanting to stay near him for any longer then necessary. You still loved him, you probably always would, but he hurt you. That was something you didn’t want to feel.
Once in Lyla’s car, she looked at you sadly. “He loves you.”
“Please Ly, I don’t want to talk about it. Not right now.” You lean your head against the seat, just wanting to be home.
You didn’t expect him to come into the house, he came in to pack a bag. You curled up on the couch watching TV, your wedding picture mocking the wall.
Getting up, you walk over, taking the picture down, studying the picture, you wondered how you’d been a fool.
His hands covered yours. “That was one of the happiest day of my life. The day I married you, I never thought I’d be lucky enough to find love again.”
You look up at him. “It was the happiest day of my life too, now it’s just another painful memory.” You laid the picture down, turning your back to him.
He wraps his arms around you, pulling you back against his chest. “Please, give me another chance. I love you, I never stopped! I did it all to keep you safe…”
You turn to look at him. “And how did that work out for you?” He crushed his lips to yiurs, for a few minutes, you forgot your hurt, and returned his kiss.
Then reality dawned on you, pulling away from him, you stared at him. “I think you should go now.”
He grinned at you, cupping your face. “I’m not giving you up that easily. I’m going to fight for our marriage.” He pulled her in for another kiss and then turned to leave.
He was true to his word, he sent you flowers, candy, and small gifts once a week. You went back to work at CaraCara doing hair and make-up, he’d send you lunch.
He’d stop by the house and the studio to make sure you and the baby were doing okay. You were six months pregnant and feeling like a whale.
Working at a porn studio wasn’t helping with your self-esteem. Ima was always making snark little comments about your size.
Tonight was a party, you had every intention of staying. You had woken up this morning, wondering what the hell you’d been thinking. You loved Filip, and wanted to work things out with him, you just hoped you hadn’t waited too long.
He was coming to the party tonight, you were going to tell him. “No wonder Chibs has been sleeping with me! There’s no way he’d want your fat ass!” Ima smiled at you.
You felt your heart break in a million pieces, it was too late. You spun around grabbing your things, leaving the studio. Hearing Ima laughter following you out.
You sped home, just wanting to curl up on the couch with a pint of ice cream, and watch TV. Crying your eyes out under a blanket.
Chibs walked into the studio, his eyes scanning the room. Ima walked up, pressing herself against him. “Who you looking for baby?”
“My wife!” He pushed her away from him.
“Why do you want that fat cow, when you can have me?”
He glared at her. “Get away from me you gash!” He walked away, looking for (Y/N). He found Lyla standing at the bar. “Have you seen (Y/N)?”
Lyla gave him a dirty look. “She left here upset, Ima told her that you two were sleeping together.”
“It’s not true, I haven’t been with anyone, except her!”
Lyla took pity on him. “She went home. Go get her. She still loves you.”
“Thank you sweatheart.” He took off for the house.
Your curled up on the couch, watching a movie when you hear a lone motorcycle riding up. Wrapping the blanket around you, going to the door, you open it seeing Filip standing there.
“I’ve not been with anyone since the last time I was with you.” You wrap your arms around him, tears rolling down your face.
“I love you, if you still want me, us…” His lips crashed down on yours, his arms going around you.
“I love you too, of course I still want you…” You pull him inside the house, he kicked the door shut with his foot.
“Take me to bed.” He scooped her up in his arms carrying her to their bedroom.
