Rosalie's POV

"Rose are you OK?" Eric asked me as I fell to the ground clutching my abdomen tightly from the unbearable pain.

"Rose." Charlie called time and again.

"It hurts." I cried.

"What hurts?" Penelope asked.

"It hurts really bad." I kept sobbing as the pain got worse.

"Let's put her on the carpet." I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me before I felt a fluffy surface under me.

"Eric get me some pain killers in the first drawer on the right!" I heard Charlie command.

"What's going on with you?" Penelope asked while caressing my hair.

"I'm alright." I gave her a weak smile.

"Bullshit, this isn't the first time you are getting like that, it's 10th time this month." Charlie scolded. "What's really going on with you girlie?"

"I'm fine guys really." I tried to assure them but they didn't buy it, no one would, not even myself but how was I going to tell my friends that the reason I was experiencing this pain was because of my mate's infidelity, that it had been going on for the past 2 months now, that whenever Dash has sex with another woman it hurts me, that I'm the one who feels the pain, how and were could I start from.

"Rosy-" Penelope called and a sigh escaped my lips, she called me by the nickname Dash always used for me when we were together.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm-" She immediately begun apologizing when she noted her mistake.

"It's OK Penny." I told her.

"No it's not OK, I'm sorry Rose." her voice cracked.

"It's really OK Penny, I'm over it" I assured her.

If I'm being honest, I was not over it, I'm never going to, not when the man involved is the only man I can't get out of my head and heart, the man I allegedly cheated on and now despises me is my mate.

"Rose, come by the hospital later so I can give you a check up, we need to know what's wrong with you." Charlie spoke changing the subject.

"OK." I nodded.

After a while longer, the girls left and I was feeling a whole lot better.

"Hey baby." I smiled at Cage who was seated on the couch staring straight at the screen. "What are you watching?"

"Thor." He replied in nonchalantly bothering to look at me.

"Hmm." I hummed before sitting next to him and trying to pick him up but he stopped me.

"I'm OK where I am." He told me.

"I just want to cuddle my little boy." I cooed.

"I don't want to be cuddled." He responded dryly.

My shoulders dropped as I sighed feeling defeat.

We sat in silence with the sound from the TV being the only audible sound in the room.

He had become distant since the day he asked about his father and I didn't give him an answer, never allows me to touch him unless I'm giving him a bath, he doesn't talk much, I've tried making conversations numerous times but he gives me one word answers or doesn't reply at all.

"Cage you can't stay mad at me forever." I sighed turning to face him but he didn't look back at me.

"Cage I'm talking to you, look at me." I tried to turn his face to me but he swatted my hand away roughly.

"Stop touching me."

"Cage!" I yelled felling agitated but he didn't respond.

"Cage I'm your mother and I demand you look at me when I talk to you!"

"I know you are my mother but I want to know who my father is too!" He raised his small voice.

"Don't raise your voice at me!"

"Or what!"

"Cage have some respect I'm your mother for crying out loud." I spoke trying to reason with him.

"I know you are my mother or do you think I don't!" He yelled snapping his grey eyes to meet mine and I regretted it, he had the same look his father had whenever he looked at me.

"I know you are my mother you don't have to remind me every chance you get!" His eyes kept changing color.

I chocked out a sob at the thought of how much Cage was acting like Dash.

"Cagey-"

"It's Cage mum, it's Cage, I'm sure you can't forget the name you gave to me." He spoke sarcastically and walked away.

I know I should have stopped him and given him a piece of my mind or better yet scolded him but I didn't have the energy, I was just too drained both emotionally and physically from dealing with the pain the two males I cared about most in my life kept inflicting on me.

I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my head in between crying my eyes out. The memories popping in my head.

"Hey." Dash hugged me from behind causing me to yelp from fear.

"Dash." I pouted facing him. "You scared me."

"You should have seen your face." He laughed.

"I told you to stop sneaking up on me, it's neither cute nor funny."

"Seeing your reaction always makes me laugh." He chortled.

"Jerk." I hit his chest.

"Hey, I'm always nice to you."

"Sneaking up on me isn't considered nice." I huffed prying out of his arms.

"OK I'm sorry, OK baby girl." He pulled me back to his chest. "I'm sorry." He kissed the top of my head while wrapping his arms around my small waist.

"You are lucky I can't stay mad at you for long." I huffed craning my neck so I could look into his beautifully addictive grey orbs.

"I know." He chuckled flashing me a smile.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.

He chuckled again his eyes glancing at my lips then back to my eyes, he leaned in placing his forehead against mine.

"I've missed you." and with those words he claimed my lips in a passionate kiss.

"I missed you too." I told him in between kisses.

I wrapped my hands around his neck deepening the kiss even more.

The kiss was getting more and more heated by the second as we kept pulling each other closer.

"Aren't you supposed to be in class Ms Blake." A masculine voice spoke startling me.

I was quick to pull my away from Dash who growled in protest.

"I'm sure you heard the bell ring." The principal glared at me.

"Cut her some slack Newman." Dash glared at the principal.

"It's class hours Mr Kingston and she needs to be in class like every other students."

"Bye." I told Dash while quickly grabbing my backpack that was on the bench behind him.

"Bye love." He grabbed my wrist pulling me to him and placed a quick kiss on my lips.

I blushed walked away quickly to avoid the glare Mr Newman was sending my way.

"I love you baby girl!" I heard Dash shout from behind.

I bit my lip blushing furiously at his words.

When I reached class I sat beside Penelope.

"Let me guess, Newman caught you and my brother making out again." She sighed.

"Why do you bother asking, her smile and red cheeks are evidence." Charlie chuckled behind us.

"Leave me alone." I scoffed trying my best to pay attention to whatever the English teacher was saying.

The vibration from my phone was what snapped me out of my dozing state.

Removing it from my pocket setting it on my lap, I looked over to Penelope and she was laying her head down on the desk probably fast asleep and Charlie was on her phone.

Of the three of us I was the only one who ever made effort to pay attention during this class, Penelope called it her nap class while Charlie said it was a free period for her but who could blame them, our teacher was probably the most boring and slow person on earth, second to our geography teacher.

I opened the message on my phone and a smile made it's way to my face even before I read what it said.

D

With that I got up and excused myself claiming I was heading to the ladies room.

"You took too long" Dash pouted when I reached the school vineyard aka our spot.

"Hey, I had to ask for permission, I can't just walk out of the room like you." I poked his chest.

"Goody to shoes" he rolled his eyes and planted a hot kiss on my lips.

"Come on" he took my hand after pulling away.

"Where are we going?" I asked but he didn't respond, he just dragged me to his nice shiny blue truck. "Dash, I've got class if you must know" I scolded

"Who cares" he scoffed opening the door for me to get in. "Get in Rosy" he instructed

"Dash-"

"Don't make me make you" he challenged and I got in quickly. He jogged to the drivers side and got in, he fastened my seatbelt then his and drove off.

"Dash, I've got school to attend"

"So do I"

"Then where are we going?"

"You'll see" he smirked.

"It better be worth ditching school and Mrs Fishers class" I narrowed my eyes at him before I knew it we burst out laughing.

"I'm sure you are more than OK with it" he laughed.

"So where are we going?" I asked

"You'll see when we get there" he got my hand and brought it to his lips. "But I'm positive you'll love it baby"

"I trust you" I told him

"And I trust and love you too" he pecked my lips.

"That reminds me why the hell would you yell that you love me in front of the principal." I smacked his chest.

"Because I really do love you and I want the whole world to know it" he kissed my hand again "damn I'll keep scream it until they all know." "I love Rosalie Blake! I fucking love Rosalie Blake!!" He exclaimed.

"I love you too Dashy baby" I pecked his lips.

"OK honey I need you to push real hard for me OK" the female doctor asked and I nodded slightly as to show her that I understood.

"OK great" she smiled warmly at me. "Push on 3" she told me "OK.. 1... 2... 3"

"Ugh!!" I screamed my lungs out as I pushed

"That's it, keep pushing, it's almost out!"

"Aah!!" I screamed even louder as the pain increased.

The doctor pulled the small child out of me.

My weak body slumped against the bed from exhaustion and I closed my eyes but peeled them open when I didn't hear my baby cry. I started to panic but stopped when it's cries echoed through the entire room feeling my bones with relief and hope.

"Congratulations dear, you have a bouncing little baby boy" the doctor told me while putting him in my trembling arms.

"My baby" a sob escaped my lips as I caressed his small face.

"Yes dear your baby"

I pulled the small creature in my arms and hugged him tight but not too tough to crush him, he was still very delicate. I hugged the baby as I sobbed, this small creature was now my family, it was just going to be him and I against the world.

"I promise I'll keep you safe my love" I kissed his head "I'll make sure you never lack a thing and I'll always protect you." I kissed the top of his head and he snuggled deeper making me chuckle "mummy loves you a lot"

His small hand wrapped around my finger and I awed.

"What are you going to name him?" A nurse asked me.

"Cage Blake" I responded almost simultaneously.

"Cage, that's an unusual name" she frowned

"I know" I smiled looking down at my son.

He was now my hope, the only reason I had to continue living on this earth, my only family.
