Stormi's pov.

After Romeo brought the clothes for Kaden and I, I had Kaden take a shower with me.

He agreed instantly and helped walk me to the bathroom.

I watch as his shoulders went up a little and his face brightened. His face was palm but redness rose in his cheeks.

I reached out my hand and grabbed his. I laced my fingers through his as my other hand grips onto his bicep.

He gives me a small, fake smile as we walk towards the bathroom.

My breathing is heavy by the time we reached it and I sat on the toilet. I placed my hand over my chest and took many deep breaths as Kaden crouched down and rubbed my back.

"I'm here babygirl." He whispers in my hair as he kisses my head.

His words melt my heart.... temporary. As I close my eyes, the image of my dream takes over my body and the tears begin to fall harder and harder.

My son.

My beautiful son.

Kaden wraps his arms around me and pulls me into his chest.

I am thankful for his silence as he lets me cry into his chest.

This isn't the first or probably last time I'm breaking down and crying over the dreamy like images of my son playing around in circles in my head.

My body feels weak and my eyes are hardly staying open by the time I stopped crying.

I palmed Kadens face as he pulled away from me.

"I'm sorry." I whisper staring into his ocean blues.

He shakes his head and rest his forehead against mine.

"It wasn't your fault. If anyone's, it's mine... I'm so sorry baby. I shouldn't of done what I did. I should of found a different solution."

I wipe his tears away with my thumbs as my fingers rub his cheeks.

"You did what you thought was best. I ran away and got myself into this situation." I admit.

I sigh when the tears roll down my face causing me more pain.

"We can't keep blaming eachother or ourselves. We need to move past this." I whispered in his ear. "I don't want to lose you too."

Kaden gave my cheek a kiss calming my nerves instantly.

He palms my face and kisses my forehead. "There will never be a day where you have to worry about me leaving. You are stuck with me forever."

I give him a small smile before locking my lips with his.

This is our first actually kiss on the lips since he rescued me.

His lips are soft and warm, better than I remember.

The fire behind his kiss enlightens my entire body.

The tightness in my chest easies away.

I run my tongue over his bottom lip. He gives me a familiar smile before opening his mouth and allowing my tongue to explore his.

He matches my kisses with such ease.

He pulls away when a moan escapes my mouth and he pushes my hair behind my ears.

"Let's shower baby." He nods at me before standing up and pulling the hospital night gown over my head.

I close my eyes so I don't look at the bruises and scars left on my body from the torture I went through.

My skin rises with goosebumps as Kaden slides his hands across my back as he unhooks my bra.

I allow him to easily pull it off before he stands me up and pulls off my underwear.

I watch him as he undressed and he grabs my hand leading me into the shower.

I take a deep breath as the hot water relaxes my muscles.

I keep my eyes closed as kaden washes my body and my hair for me.

His moves his fingers around so lightly I barely can tell they are there. If it wasn't for the heat coming off of them, I wouldn't even notice.

After our quick shower, I put on clean underwear and a black shirt of Kadens.

I notice a spark in his eye when he notices I'm wearing his shit.

He brushes his teeth with me before walking me slowly back to the hospital bed.

I pull him down beside me so he's forced to lay with me.

I lay my head on his chest as I trace over his six pack with my fingertips.

The rhythm of his heartbeat plays in my head creating a soft melody to my heart that eases away the pain.

As I close my eyes and relieve myself of the pain that was held by holding my eyes open, I let out a sigh.

I hold back the tears that are on the bridge of falling.

I can do this.

I have to do this.

I'm stronger than I allow myself to think.

I have no choice but to get through this.

As I drift off to sleep, I feel Kadens lips touch my forehead.

"I love you babygirl. I'm so sorry." Kaden whispers.

================================

I apologize for the really, really, REALLY late update.

Mental illness is a real thing and I fight it on a daily basis.

I went through something really bad and fell back into my depression, anxiety, and self annihilation.

It has been along journey for me the past month and I want to apologize.

I am doing everything I can to get better.

Writing is a big outlet for me and I plan on making my regular updates.

To everyone who is still here, I appreciate it so much.

And to those who left, I'm terribly sorry.

Much love Bre 💙💙💙
