Chapter 15
“Suicide?” I whisper. Just as Hazel comes through with a worried look on her face. “What? Who?” she asks as she heads over to the sofa to sit with us. “Melissa, she slit her wrists while in custody, they found her bleeding out. She past away in hospital, lost too much blood” Trent explains as he pulls me to his lad. I wrap my arms around his neck to comfort him. “What about her son?” I ask, while running my fingers through Trents hair. “In temporary foster care for her parents to collect him, they were away on vacation and no one was able to contact them until the day before yesterday” Trent explains to us. “That poor boy. Did they find out who the father is?” Hazel asks “Not sure, I was to worried about Avery, when she was in coma. I didn’t find out” he says as he pulls me closer in his hold and rest his head on my shoulder. “Will her parents take care of him?” I ask slightly sadden at what that boy will go though if he stays in foster care. I know what its like not having a real family, my memories haunt me to this day. “I’m sure they will, if not the father might get custody” he tells me. We sit in silence for a little bit, Philip comes into the lounge to announce they are leaving and that we should rest. We say our goodbyes and clean up the kitchen from dinner.
Trent puts on a movie to watch, but I cant focus on it. I’ve not long taken my pain medication for my headache and it makes me a little sleepy. Cuddled into Trents side I rest my head on his shoulder. “Do you think its possible to find my family?” I whisper to Trent as I run my hands over his chest. “I’m sure we can look into to baby.” he tells me as he tightens his arm around me. “We can look into it tomorrow, if you want?” he asks as I snuggle closer. I nod in response. “I’m heading to bed, I’m tired” I say as I slip from his hold and stand and stretch my body. Trent stands up and wraps his arms around my waist from behind rubbing his hand on my slight bump. “I’ll lock up and I’ll join you” he whispers in my ear making me shiver.
After doing my nightly routine, we are lying in bed. Trent has his laptop open, checking up on work emails. “Aiden and Donna have been doing a great job, keeping the business running smoothly. No issues at all. I might need to go to the office to sign some paperwork in the next few days though” he tells me as he places his laptop down and turns to face me.
As her runs his hands through my hair, it sends shivers down my body. I lean up and place a lingering kiss on his cheek, a move to kiss his lips, i move closer to him. I lift my body up to straddle him, the shorts I’m wearing sliding up to show more skin, as Trent runs his fingers over my bare thigh. A moan slips from my throat, the kiss getting heated, I break the kiss and trail my lips to his jawline and down his neck to his chest. “Baby, come on. We need to stop, doctors orders, remember” Trent says as he pulls my body away from him. I sit up on his chest and pout “Don’t give me that look, I am so f*****g horny, I would take you right now but the doctor said you have to heal, sweetheart” he huffs out as I climb off his lap and lie on my side of the bed. Trent pulls the covers up to cover our bodies as he pulls me to rest my head on his chest. I let out a sigh as I get comfy and sleep soon takes over.
A few days later, we are heading home after I check up visit at the hospital. They gave me a full going over, checking my blood pressure and a scan to check on the baby. All is good and I’ve been given the approval of going back to work, much to Trents disapproval. We had a slight argument about it but we came to a compromise that I would start later in the morning and finish early so I can rest more, being pregnant does make me tired quicker than before.
Trent has been a little quiet since we got back, I think he is still in a bad mood about our disagreement about me going back to work. We are sitting in the lounge watching tv, well I’m not really watching “Trent, what’s wrong? Are you still angry that I want to go back to work?” I ask as I switch the tv off the get his full attention. He lets out a puff of air, “I’m not angry that you want to go back to work, I’m worried that you will get stressed and put your health and the babies health at risk.” He tells me as we turn our bodies to face each other and he reaches for my hands and pulls me into his arms. “I wont get stressed, I know if work gets too much, Donna will help out. I’m not the scared, stuttering Avery anymore I know when things are too much, Trent you have to trust me. I’m going crazy being in the house all the time, I need to have some sort of normality before the baby comes along and changes everything” I tell him as I run my hands up and down his chest. “I do trust you.” He pulls me closer and wraps his arms tighter around my body. “I love you, Trent, more than words can explain. We will do this together, ok?” I say as I straddle his hips and reach down to cup his face and peck his lips. “The doctor also gave us the all clear for sexy time” I whisper in his ear and nibble on his ear lobe. “Now you are talking, baby. I hope you are not too tired because I’m planning on going all night to make up for our lost time” Trent says as he lifts me off his lap and pulls me from the sofa, walking his way to the stairs and carrying me bridal style up the stairs. I think another day off from work will be in order, I’m sure my boss will not mind.
