Kaelie Carter

My heart hurts at his words. I want nothing more than to fall into his arms and believe that everything will magically be better, simply because we love one another. But that isn’t how life works.

“Matty,” I start but I’m cut off by his laughter.

“I hate that fucking nickname. No one has ever called me that without me cringing, until now.”

“Stop interrupting me,” I hiss.

“You’re about to say something I don’t want to hear. You can’t blame me for trying.” He grins, and I swear to God if he wasn’t injured, I would slap him.

“Interrupting me isn’t going to change the truth.”

“Do you want to know the truth?” He is getting angry. “I love you. I want you and my son in my life, permanently. You can be damn sure I didn’t risk my fucking life just so I can watch you walk out of it again.”

He sits up in the bed once more and I want to push him back down but I know he isn’t going to let me.

“Will you calm down?” I all but shout at him.

“No!”

“Matthias, you are going to hurt yourself, tear out your stitches.”

“I. Don’t. Fucking. Care!”

“But I do.”

He laughs loudly, smirking at me. “Exactly.”

“Yes. I love you. The idea of being able to give Ronin the chance to grow up with both his parents makes me so happy I can’t explain it. But how long will you be able to look past what I did? How long before you feel trapped and use it as a reason to get away from me?”

Matthias glares at me. “How long before you blame me for ruining your life? I knocked you up, bullied you, allowed Amber to physically abuse you, and basically forced you to tutor me. When will you use that as a reason to end what we have?”

“I would never…”

“And I would?”

We stare at each other, both of us breathing harshly.

“I’m scared,” I whisper.

“So am I. But I was miserable without you. I don’t want to do that again.” His words are soft and I can hear the sincerity in his tone.

I stare at him for long moments not sure what to say. My heart belongs to Matthias Delgado. It has since the first moment he kissed me.

Maybe it’s time for me to take a chance. We almost died. I could have lost him. I don’t want to spend my life regretting taking a chance at being happy, at being a family. It’s time to let go of the past, to build our future. Together.

“Am I safe with you?”
