Chapter 81: Reunion and Reassurance

Jake laughed wickedly. "You know what? I’m not going to shout at you anymore. Liam is seriously going to be pissed with you for doing this too. I’ll let him deal with it," he said, laughing as he started the car back up again. Oh crap, he was right; Liam was going to be really angry that I put myself in danger like that. Jake looked at

and laughed again. "Well, I’m glad I don’t have to be the one to rein you in all the ti now. Liam can take over." He smirked at

and I couldn’t help but laugh, he actually looked a little relieved. "Do you need to go back to the hospital?" he asked.

I shook my head. I felt fine, I was just tired and needed to sit down, my body felt like I’d ran a marathon but I wasn’t in pain or anything. "I’m fine, honestly. We can go pick up Liam and then go ho," I suggested, resting my head back on the headrest. I just needed Liam to hold .

"They told

on the phone that he’ll be another hour at least. They need to process him out or sothing. I’ll take you ho and you can wait for him there." He smiled at

reassuringly and headed in the direction of our house.

When we pulled into our drive, Ruby and Johnny ca running out of the house, looking at

concerned. "Oh, Amber, are you OK, honey?" Ruby asked, fussing over

as we walked to the house.

"I’m fine. I’m just tired." I nodded.

"What was that ssage? Did you go and see Stephen?" Ruby asked, frowning.

I nodded and looked at Jake pleadingly; I just wanted to go to bed. "I’ll tell you in a bit, Ruby. Ambs needs to rest," Jake interjected, steering

towards the back hallway. I smiled at him gratefully. I couldn’t deal with anymore; the reality of what I had just done was sinking in. I’d really been stupid. I tried not to imagine all of the things he could have done to . I shuddered lightly and pushed the thoughts away, it was over now, nothing happened. I was lucky. Jake followed

into my room putting my bag down for ; I kicked off my shoes and got in the bed fully clothed. He sat on the edge of my bed, looking at

sadly.

"Ambs, I’m really sorry you lost your baby, you know that, right?" he asked quietly.

I nodded. "Yeah, I know. You would have been a kickass uncle," I teased, smiling weakly.

He laughed. "Yeah, I would have spoilt that kid rotten, just to spite you and Liam."

I smiled. "I bet you would have done too."

He bent down and hugged , kissing my cheek. "You were really brave, and I’m proud of you, but don’t you ever do anything like that ever again," he said fiercely.

I nodded and yawned. "I won’t. Are you going to go pick up Liam?"

He shook his head. "No, I’ll ask Johnny to go and pick him up. I don’t want to leave you here until I know that as**ole out of town," he replied. I nodded and closed my eyes, needing to go to sleep; I was physically and emotionally exhausted.

I woke up as I felt soone get on the bed. I opened my eyes groggily and looked over to see Liam getting in the bed with . I burst into tears and threw my arms around him. I’d never been so happy to see anyone in my life. He hugged

back tightly, stroking my hair, rocking

gently as he pressed his lips to my neck, the sa as he always does when I’m upset. I tangled my hands in his hair and didn’t ever want to let go. I never wanted him away from

again.

"It’s OK now, Angel. Everything’s fine. How are you feeling?" he asked softly as he pulled back to look at . His gorgeous eyes blue were looking at

concerned. I smiled and kissed him, pressing myself to him tightly. He smiled against my lips and I pulled back.

"I’m fine. I’m pleased to see you," I promised, tracing my hands down his beautiful face. He ran his hand through my hair, just looking at

tenderly for a couple of minutes.

"Jake told

what you did," he said, his face turning stern.

I gulped and grimaced. "I’m sorry, I had to," I mumbled apologetically.

He buried his face in the side of my neck. "I’m not going to shout at you, if that’s what you’re thinking," he replied, chuckling against my skin. I let out the breath I didn’t realise I was holding and relaxed. He pulled back to look at . "I am seriously pissed at you though. I hate that you did that, but I don’t need to put any more pressure on you than you’re already under. You’ve been through so much already," he said sadly, his hand trailing down to rest on my now empty stomach. "I’m just going to say this; you don’t ever put yourself in a situation like that again. You never put yourself in danger again. I don’t care what the reason is; it’s not a good enough reason for you to get hurt. Do you understand ?" he growled.

I nodded, I could see he ant it; he was crazy mad, he wanted to say a lot more than that too, but he wasn’t because of the baby. "I understand." I nodded, smiling guiltily. "I love you, Liam, so much." He was the most important thing to . This whole situation just proved to

how much I loved him, I would do anything for him, even face my worst nightmare.

"I love you too, Angel," he whispered, bending his head and kissing

gently. By the ti he pulled away we were both slightly breathless.
