It had been a month since Toni and I moved into our new house and so far there are no problems, we set up everything in the house, painted the walls a different color. Toni and I left our baby's room unprepared until we find the gender out.

I sighed in relief when I finished getting dressed for the day. I grabbed my bag turning around and bumping right into Toni, he quickly grabbed me before I could hit the ground, arms wrapped around my waist keeping me steady. I looked up at him to see a sly grin on his face.

"You need to be aware of your steps." He winked, letting go of me.

I blushed putting a stray of hair behind my ear. "Sorry." I apologized, he chuckled kissing my cheek repeatedly causing me to giggle. "Stop." I whispered, when his lips traveled down to my neck.

I gasped when he sucked on my sweet spot. "You know." He said, pulling away and pulling me into his body as my hands fell upon his chest. "I have this feeling..." He trailed, with a smirk on his face.

I looked at him curiously. "What feeling?"

He pecked my lips, as he leaned down his lips brushing against my ear causing me to shiver at the contact. "That we're going to have twins." My breath got stuck in my throat when his teeth grabbed onto my earlobe for a second before letting it go and staring down at me.

His eyes had darkened with lust, you could barley see his beautiful ice blue eyes. "Twins?" I questioned, hesitant about what he had just told me.

He bit his lip staring down at my lips before looking back up at my eyes. "Mhm." He hummed in response. I nibbled on my lips, as his eyes slowly traveled back to them. "Two beautiful twins." He whispered, rubbing my back up and down soothingly as he leaned down connecting his lips with mine.

My eyes fluttered closed when his hands trailed down to my hips. My hands instantly latched onto his neck, stepping on my tippy toes, even with heels I couldn't reach his height. The kiss was gentle and soft, his lips were so plumped and smooth against my own, he lightly bit my lip causing me to gasp before we pulled away breathing heavily.

He attached his forehead against mine. "I can't wait for our kids to arrive just so we could officially become family." He smirked. I chuckled, pecking his lips.

"You are positive that we are going to have twins, aren't you?" I asked, he nodded his head, pulling his forehead away from mine and placed a kiss on it.

"I'm more than positive." He reassured, pushing my hair off my shoulders.

I bit my lip interlocking my hands with his. "I want to challenge you in something." He looked at me with a raised brow.

"With what?" He asked, I played with the button of his dress shirt.

"Art. Painting." I responded, he smirked down at me.

"You think you can beat me?" He questioned, chuckling in response.

I nodded my head. "Don't think you're the only one that knows about art." I said. He threw his head back laughing.

"As you wish." He let go of me stepping back. "I'll get changed, you go to the art room." I grinned up at him.

"Okay." I walked out of the room leaving him alone and went towards the art room, opening the door up to see everything already set up. I smiled heading towards the window opening the curtain then pulling the window opened letting the breeze in causing me suck in a breath, before looking outside at our backyard, that was beautiful.

I had planted many flowers and roses and designed our whole entire garden and backyard. I was proud of what I had done but what was slightly annoying was that Toni would complain and say that I wasn't being careful since I was carrying a baby, he wouldn't let me pick up a tiny pot that weighed nothing. We used to have little arguments because of me not sitting down and constantly working on the garden and backyard.

I chuckled remembering our little fight we had, giving each other a silent treatment for a few seconds before cuddling into each others arms. I jumped when I heard someone clear their throats turning around to see Toni wearing a plain black shirt with skinny jeans. "Do you want to begin?" He asked, with a cocky smirk on his face.

"Yes." I responded, mirroring his smirk. "I'm ready to prove to you i'm better at painting." His eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Someone is confident. New side I see." He smirked, walking up to me grabbing my hips but I pushed him away.

"You can kiss me after you lose." I smirked, walking towards the chair.

He looked at me with crossed arms, scanning me from top to bottom. "I like this new side of you." He laughed. I blushed looking down at the brushes placed onto the table as he took the second seat in front of me, he looked up catching my eyes as I continued to stare at him while we faced each other.

"Do you know what you're going to paint?" He questioned, I sucked in a breath nodding my head as I continued to stare at him.

"Y-yes." I stuttered out, feeling myself drifting away from his beautiful eyes.

"Go ahead. Begin." I sucked in a breath, shakily grabbing the pencil and started drawing on the blank white board, slowly drawing what I was planning on painting lightly. I bit my lip grabbed the colors and putting them into the pallet before grabbing the pallet then the brush dipping it into the color and slowly started painting.

I coughed at the smell of paint not really a fan of the smell. Toni looked up at me worriedly. "Are you okay?" He asked. I smiled at him nodding my head.

"Not a fan of the smell." I responded, pushing my hair with my shoulders out of my face.

"You don't know how beautiful you look right now." He uttered, while painting as he kept his eyes on me making my breath catch my throat with the redness creeping up my neck and towards my cheek.

I nibbled on my lips, trying not to mess up what I was painting. "I'm trying not to mess up and I know your plan." He smirked at me, looking down at his painting.

"A man can't complement his wife anymore?" He asked, I laughed a little. I gently painted the eyes, making my heart skip a beat as my painting started to look just like what I was drawing. "Just staring at you makes me want to kiss you." He whispered, I chuckled looking up at him.

"You will when we're done." I reassured, causing a smile to break out onto his face.

I placed my hand on my stomach breathing in. "Are you okay?" He asked, once again in concern.

I swallowed roughly, nodding my head. "I'm okay." I smiled up at him. "And so is the baby." I reassured.

He sighed in relief. "You mean the babies are okay." I laughed, shaking my head at his correction.

"What if we don't have twins?" I asked, he looked at me confidently.

"I trust my instincts." He continued to focus on the painting he was drawing, I could see his eyes sparkling as he looked down at it.

I smiled, looking back at my painting continuing my art work. After an hour I was finally done with the art work I had just done, Toni also threw his paint brush into the water and set the pallet down on the table. "Done?" He asked.

I nodded my head with a smile. "Yes." I answered, we both stood up at the same time. Toni came towards me wrapping his arms around me, leaning down to kiss me but I pressed my index finger to his lips. "We haven't showed our art work." He sighed in annoyance.

"I just want a damn kiss." He mumbled annoyed causing me to throw my head back and laugh.

"An artsy kiss?" I asked, his mouth twitched up before he bursted out laughing.

"Dear god, woman." Our laughter slowly died down. "Angel, you really are something." He moved his index finger up and down while chuckling.

I clapped my hands together. "If you want your kiss let's get this over with." I motioned to the two artwork in front of us.

He nodded his head. "If you say so." We grabbed each of our board and hid it from each other. "Ready?" He asked, we both flipped it at the same time. I gasped at the artwork of me, looking down at the artwork he had done of me in awe.

My eyes slowly trailed to his that was glued onto mine, his eyes sparkled looking down at it. "It's so pretty." I said, looking down at his drawing with a grin.

He looked down at me. "You proved me wrong." He looked down at my art.

I shook my head. "You proved me wrong. I was going against a person who can draw perfectly." I motioned to the artwork and the drawings he had up on the wall.

He chuckled. "I'm guessing we both proved each other wrong." I sucked in a breath. "We should hang these up." He walked over towards a screw that wall with no artwork hanging on it. He placed his art work onto it before grabbing mine placing it right beside his. "There." He smiled, walking behind me wrapping his arms around my waist from behind me.

I felt him kiss my head. "I love you." I turned my head.

"I love you too." Turning around wrapping my arms around his neck, standing on my toes. "You want a kiss, didn't you?" I reminded. He rolled his eyes, quickly smashing his lips onto mine.

I chuckled against his lips before kissing his soft lips back. I loved this man with all my heart and desire, no man would ever take his place at stealing my heart. I am sure of it.

After our little art moment we had. We were in the living room laying on the couch cuddling together while watching TV. I giggled when Toni kissed my neck, time to time he'd live a butterfly kiss onto my neck causing me to giggle at the ticklish feeling.

He rubbed my side up and down gently. I turned around facing his beautiful features. "I need to get to work." I pouted slightly not wanting him to leave. "Don't pout. I'll be back at four." He uttered, running a hand through my hair.

I nodded my head. "Okay." He chuckled kissing my forehead one last time as we both stood up from the couch and interlocked my hand with his as we walked out of the living room, heading towards the front door. I opened the door for him as he stepped out, slipping his hand from my grasp.

"Don't work too hard." I said, when he let go of my hand and walked out of the door turning his attention to me. He flashed me a smile. "I love you." His smile soon became a big grin.

"I love you too." He walked down the steps as I rested my head against the door watching him climb into his car, turning it on and before he backed out he did a little wave causing me to chuckle and wave back before shutting the door.

I sucked in a breath turning around looking at the now empty house. "Looks like its just me." I whispered, to myself and climbed the stairs heading towards our baby's room opening it up to see paint already set down on the ground for when we find out the gender.

Three more months then we'll find the gender of our child out. I placed my hand on my stomach walking towards the window scanning the beautiful view. "I can't wait till you come." I stroked my stomach gently. "I lost your sibling because I was obnoxious and I trusted people. I wasn't well aware of her." I whispered, with tears forming in my eyes.

"I wasn't very careful with her and that's what I get for not being steady with her and trusting people." I attached my forehead to the window as whimpers escaped my mouth while tears fell down my face. "But I promise you I've learnt from my mistake and I will never ever let anyone or anything hurt you. I lost one. I'm not going to lose another. I promise to protect you even if it means giving up my life." I sobbed out. "I love you." I turned around wiping my tears.

Freezing when I heard something coming from downstairs, furrowing my brows making my way down the stairs to see a picture frame of Toni and I's wedding day broken on the ground. My heart sped up as thoughts of me not being alone in this house caused chills in my body. I placed my hand on my stomach protectively as I bent down picking up the picture frame carefully, looking up scanning the house.

I slowly placed the picture frame onto the table, quietly making my way to the office where noise was coming from. I slowly opened the door leaving a crack to see. "Holly?" I opened the door all the way staring at her confused.

She turned around as she held another picture frame. It was of me laughing while Toni held me with a smile on his face, we had taken it in the backyard. Toni was in love with that picture. "You took him from me." I looked at her with fear running in my veins as I watched her slam the picture frame onto the ground causing me to flinch and hold my stomach tightly.

"W-what are you doing here?" I asked, slowly backing away.

She took steps close to me. "Taking back what's mine." She hissed in anger. "You took Toni from me! You gold digging slut!" She shouted, as she went to attach me but I quickly moved behind a table causing her to circle around it but I moved away on time.

We both slowly circled the table as I watched her carefully. "You let Toni go the moment you left him for Travis." I shot back, as anger filled her eyes while her eyebrows shot up in furious.

She shook her head. "No!" She shouted loudly. "That isn't true! I was going to have Travis and Toni! But you and Anna came and ruined everything! All my dreams and accomplishments are all gone because of you two gold digging sluts!" She screamed, picking up a vase throwing it at me but I quickly dunked in time causing her to hit the wall behind me.

I stood back up. "You actually think that Toni and Travis would let you have both of them at the same time? They aren't stupid, Holly." I argued back. She rolled her eyes at my comment. "Toni became cold the moment you left him and I forcefully had to break through his high barriers." She looked at me with hate and death, her glare was so deep it scared me.

"If I came back to him, Toni would have accepted me. But you came along and fucked everything up. You bitch!" She screamed, coming full speed after me grabbing my arm twisting it behind my back. "First I'll get rid of this stupid baby then you!" She went to stab me with a glass I hadn't realized was in her hand.

I quickly grabbed her wrist preventing her from doing so. "Stop. Please." I struggled with her grip, as she grasped her hand around my neck causing me to gasp when she cut air from coming into my lung while I struggled to keep the knife away from my stomach as tears fell down my face. "N-no." I struggled. I promise my child I'd save it's life. I'm not losing another one. I will not.

I gasped when I clutched onto the glass tightly in my hand as my hands and body started weakening from her tight grasp around my neck. This was it. I was slowly dying and was going to take my baby's life with me. I broke my promise. I closed my eyes as one last tear fell from my eyes. Waiting for darkness to take over me but within seconds she was pulled off of me and the glass fell out of my grasp.

I fell to the ground clutching onto my neck coughing uncontrollably, turning my head with tears in my eyes to see Holly getting hit by Anna who was screaming and hitting her in the face. "Fucking bitch! Murderer! Psycho bitch!" She continuously punched her. I weakly stood up and grabbed Anna's hand before she could lay another punch on her.

"Enough." My voice came out raspy and itchy. "Please, call Toni." I fell to the ground weakly, placing my hand on my stomach.

Anna quickly stood up putting her foot on Holly's stomach preventing her from getting up. She quickly dialed Toni's number watching me cough as I held my stomach. "Toni. You need to get to the house now." She demanded, as she continued to put pressure on Holly who was trying to get out of Anna's grip.

She screamed in anger, using her leg to kick Anna in the shin causing Anna to drop her phone and hiss in pain. "You bitch!" Anna shouted, holding onto her leg as she fell to the floor. Holly quickly stood up and dashed out of the house with Anna running behind her. "Anna!? Anna!?" I heard Toni scream from the phone.

My hand reached out and grabbed the phone. "Toni, please come home." I begged with tears in my eyes as I stared at the opened door, holding my stomach protectively.

"I'm on my way now, baby." The phone ended as I breathed in oxygen in and out heavily while holding onto my stomach, with my hand bleeding badly from the glass I had held tightly to protect my baby.

My attention was caught by Toni running towards me in a rush. "Layla?" He quickly ran towards me as I threw myself in his arms, sobbing. "Angel." He whispered, rubbing my back, before pulling away from me cupping both my cheeks. "What happened?" He asked, no words would come out all I was doing was bawling my eyes out while sobbing.

He looked down at my hand. "Shit." He grabbed my bleeding hand. "Who did this? Angel, please." He pleaded wiping my eyes with his free hand.

"Ho-lly was i-in th-the house and she was trying to kill our baby." I whimpered as I threw myself back into his arm as he held onto me tightly.

"Shh." He kissed my head. "Where did she go? Where did that bitch go?" He questioned, I shrugged in his arms.

"She ran off." Anna said, entering the house once again but this time with Travis who looked furious. "I tried catching her but that dumb cunt jumped into her car and drove off." She sighed, walking towards me.

"How did you know about her?" Toni asked, rubbing my back as I continued to hold onto my stomach not bothering to look at any of them.

"I came to visit and I heard screaming come from the house, so I dashed into the house and saw her choking and trying to stab Layla with a glass." She responded, with venom laced into her voice. "Didn't know you were into psychos." Anna told, Travis who was standing there.

He looked down with annoyance filling his face. I pulled out of Toni's chest as his arms continued to stay on me. "Our baby might not be okay. Toni. Please call the doctor." I begged with tears falling down my face. "I promised the baby that I would protect it. Please call a doctor." My head fell onto his shoulder.

"Okay. Baby. Okay." He nodded, kissing the side of my head. "Travis, take my phone and call the doctor." He ordered. "I'm going to take her to the bedroom." He lifted me up into his arms carrying me up the stairs, while I dug my head into the crook of his neck as tears fell down my face.

"Please, let our baby be okay. Toni." I cried out.

"They will be okay." He reassured, opening the bedroom door.

I hoped he was right. I was begging god he was right.

I laid on the bed as the doctor continued to listen to our baby's heartbeat. A smile came onto her face as she looked at me with a reassuring face. "Your baby is fine. Everything is fine." She reassured causing me to relax in Toni's arms.

"Thank god." I whispered, looking at my now treated and wrapped hand. While the doctor was on her way Toni wrapped my hand up.

"I told you." Toni said, giving a kiss to my head.

I gave him a teary smile. "Protect me from her." I begged, he nodded his head.

"I will." He promised. "I'll find her and I'll show her to never. And I mean ever come near you again." He continuously kissed my forehead as my eyes closed from the feeling, I burried my body further into his, letting the warmth of his body to warm mine up.

A good day turned into something so horrible. In a second.
