Heaven waits for no angels

Andy's P.O.V

Blood boiling and skin crawling, I thought I was going to faint. "You're pregnant?" I repeated as the pink swallowed my cheeks. She nodded her head as if she was getting scolded and ashamed of it. I stood up, legs feeling jell-o and walked to her. "I'm a father?" I tried to hide the excitement in my voice and the numb feeling running through my body.

"Yeah!" She smiled, trying to sound happy but the nervousness drifted over her voice just before the storm had begun. I grabbed her by her hips and picked her up, spinning her around in circles as happiness filled the air. There's no better feeling than knowing that you're going to be a parent, it's the best feeling of all.

She gasped and clung to me, sinking her nails deep into my skin as the rich red blood oozed out of my arms. Her natural reflex, after all I didn't exactly warn her. I ignored the pain, I was to happy to care. She squirmed around to get comfortable in my arms, once she did, she wrapped her long skinny legs around my hips as I readjusted and held her closer; I went in for a kiss.

Completely dodging me, she winced. "Andy! Put me down, PLEASE!" I set her down quickly and carefully, did I hurt her? She pulled up her shirt as if she could hear the babies crying, revealing the most perfect beginning of a baby-bump. There were little electronic wires with ends that kind of looked like the end of a stethoscope connected to her belly; with a box attached to her pants, like my children were robots in need of repair.

I started to panic, not really knowing anything about children before they are born. "Oh my god, are they okay?" I squealed like a little girl. "Relax Andy, it's just a heart monitor." I felt the weight lifted off of me as I leaned in to kiss her again, without even thinking.

"Andy, are we even together anymore?" Her voice cracked and I knew it had hurt her to say. she was right, were we together? I took her hand and we both sat down on the bed, facing each other. Wondering how to respond correctly, I sighed.

"I've been thinking, and I think that you should know, if you haven't noticed already; I'm moody as fuck, I can be happy one minute, and extremely pissed off the next. So if you want a relationship-" "I don't Andy, I want a marriage." She interrupted me and I smiled, she was truly mine. "So if you want a marriage with me, you need to understand that there will be days were i will not care for your presence even though you did nothing wrong; followed by days were you will be the only one I want to talk to, despite having nothing to say."

I watched and waited for a reaction until she nodded her head. "I understand Andy, I just want to make you happy." My mother always told me growing up not to be sad over someone who gave up on me, instead to feel sorry for them for giving up on a person who never would've given up on me. That's exactly what I did to AddiLynn, I walked away from the best thing that has ever happened to me, knowing she would never walk out on me.

AddiLynn never gave up on us, she wanted to marry me. But she was, and is, scared. Marriage is suppose to be an incredible adventure between to people in love. A path to a new life of happiness against all odds. A celebration for two people deeply in love now sharing a forever. But to her, it was something she was forced into at the age of fourteen, to a man she'd never love, to save her daughter.

"Weather we stay together or not, we have a family together now. I'm not desperate but I'm tired of being alone in this huge bed by myself wondering if you're ever coming home. I don't want to tell my kids some story about why we aren't together. And if I do lose you, my heart would fall apart every time someone said your name."

I couldn't and didn't want to lose her either, she's my everything. "Mommy, why did you and daddy not love each other anymore?" I could imagine a little girl, who looked just like me ask her mother. Then AddiLynn would have to think fast and deal with this question on her own. A question, no child should ever have to ask.

"Once upon a time, I fell in love with a prince. He was handsome, caring, romantic, and charming. But to him, I was just a peasant and I was not the princess he was looking for." AddiLynn would say, building our child up just like she did to everyone else, knowing what it's like to be torn down.

"If you don't want this, I'll understand, just tell me Andy. I can't stand not knowing." She woke me from my day dreaming. "No, don't say that." I looked down to see the cuts on her wrist again, and the heart tearing sorrow came wallowing back. I had been quiet about my opinion on her self harm addiction for months, but no longer will I pretend.

"If you're going to be my incredibly beautiful wife, you can't keep doing this." I said holding u her wrist, "In fact, you just can't. You're a mother now, our family needs you here. You need to stop hurting yourself like this." Tears instantly started dancing in her hazel eyes, "My memories have hurt me more than blades ever could." She whispered. I looked at her in a daze and thought about what she had just said, trying to put myself in her shoes.

Being abused like that, you can only take someone's word for it, because until you go through it, you'll never truly understand how broken it can cause a person to be. She was right, but there still was no reason for her to make her pain worse. AddiLynn, a very sweet girl could never hurt anyone. She wouldn't even let me squish a spider. The truth is, you could slit her throat and with her last gasp for air, she'd apologize for all the blood splatter you'd need to clean up afterwards.

"Promise." I warned. She nodded and replied, "Promise."

AddiLynn's P.O.V

Andy grabbed my finger and forcibly pulled my ring off. I looked at him hurt and confused, he smiled at me and got off the bed, walked in front of me, and got on one knee. "AddiLynn Mare, I can't promise you a perfect relationship without arguments over our differences and trust issues. However I can"- "Promise you that as long as you're trying, I'm staying." I finished his sentence, knowing exactly what he was going to say. He smirked and started to put the ring on my finger, "AddiLynn Marie, will please let me help you get your divorced and marry me?" He looked up into my eyes and I swear I could look into his forever.He has the most stunning eyes you could ever fall for and the cutest smile that takes your breath away. He has the ability to make you laugh every time he speaks and whenever you look in to those gorgeous blue eyes, it's so hard to look away.


"Yes Andy, I will!" I replied and fell into his kiss. All my life I thought I would feel millions of butterflies attacking my stomach, but I didn'tt; because the butterflies he gave me turned into two tiny sets of little feet.
