Be in Love With Me Alone (Tayley)

24: I'll Be Lost Until You Come and Find Me Here, Oh Glory!

Chapter 24:
Taylor's POV:

I get to our house not long after I got off the plane.

She wasn't expecting me. I know that much for sure.

Her phone was off the entire time. And it was killing me to think that I was in no way being there for her.

I open the front door and slowly enter.

My body tired and jet legged.

But she kept me going.

It had to suffice.

Leaving my bags at the bottom of the stairs, I ascended.

The door to our bedroom was slightly open, so it was easy for me to just slip through.

That was when I caught my first glimpse of her sleeping body.

Her expression was pained.

Her breath was steady.

But her body language told me that she was distressed.

She was hanging onto my pillow. Which put a smile on my face.

I sat slightly on the bed. Adding pressure to the side of my bed.

I looked at her porcelain doll face. A face that seemed to be cracked.

I sigh.

A single tear came to my eye.

She was beautiful. Even more now, she has a glow to her. Kind of angelic.

It made my heart skip a beat with every breath she took.

I couldn't contain my urge anymore.

SO I reached my hand and softly caressed her.

Slowly, I ran two fingers through her hair, then rested my hand on her check. Stroking it with my thumb.

She smiles.

I smile.

'Taylor.' She says in a whisper.

I nod.

"Yeah baby, its me." I say back.

She shots her eyes open.

"Taylor!" She says.

I nod. "I'm here baby."

She clings onto my neck and buries her face in it.

I softly caress her back as I hold her tightly to me.

"I'm here."

Hayley's POV:

"What-" I pull away and wipe my eyes. "What are you doing here?"

He shrugs. "I was worried." He says with a sad smile.

I inhale deeply. "I've missed you." I say as I kiss his lips softly.

"I've missed you." He says as he kisses me back.

I place my forehead to his and just allow myself to breath.

If it was even for a second there, I allowed myself to just be with him.

"Hayley," he says looking deep into my eyes. His hazel eyes full of concern, "what's going on?"

I shake my head. "Nothing." Tears burning my eyes. I quickly put my head down.

"No." He says using two fingers to make me look deep in my eyes. "There is something bothering you." He interlocked our fingers.

I couldn't take the pressure.

I bury my face into his chest and allow myself to break down. These tears that have been there since. Those tears that I have been fighting back.

But now that I am in my husband's arms, I let myself melt.

He strokes my hair and places many kisses on the top of my head.

He didn't question me much further. Which I was grateful for. But I knew he had to know.

I build up my strength, gather myself, and pull away.

"I'm afraid T."

"Why Hayley?" He wipes my eyes. "I'm here to protect you if someone is after you. If it's Chad again, I will kill him-" his expression became angry.

"No." I shake my head. "It isn't Chad. It's me. It's us."

His eyes softened. "What." He swallows. "What's wrong?"

"Taylor." I say with my heart beating faster than fast. "I'm pregnant."

** Well...** tory
