Changing My Life
Chapter 25 Mistake
Amy's POV
I'm in the living room waiting for Louis to come back from Brianna's house so he will bring Freddie home I need to talk to him about school because I've been worrying about his behavior when I mention how his day went. Danielle texted me saying that she will come over too with some news. She didn't tell me if she told him or not she just said 'news'.
It's been a week since the whole guys' girls' night out and I have had a hectic week. All week I have received calls and tweets and comments and stuff saying that Liam 'reconnected' well with Danielle Peazer. There were pictures of them sitting together in a club talking and they were really close. I ignored it and didn't even talk to Liam about it.
People were texting me saying sorry and stuff and how awful that our marriage was destroyed and how glad they were that there wasn't a child involved and stuff. I never replied or reacted to anything back, I just ignored it. I admit that it did bother me how close they were sitting and I swear she had her hand on his leg. Liam never mentioned anything nor the other guys so I shrugged it off. But somewhere deep inside me I am really pissed and would like an explanation.
But he's my husband, we've been together for almost 4 years and he never did anything like that. Neither of us did. I trust him to tell me if anything happened. But I don't want to worry about it. It's just useless stress for my pregnancy so I'm focusing on spending a day with my little man and my favorite little girl.
The door opened and in came a happy, hyper Freddie.
"Aunty"
"Freddie"
He rushed to my side and hugged my legs. I bent down and hugged him properly.
"I missed you." We pulled away and went to the couch. Danielle sat next to me and we chatted while Freddie chatted with my belly. As usual. Louis seemed like he was happy in his own world.
"Hey Dani, did you tell him ? Because he seems very happy." I whispered and she gave me an innocent look and I took that as a yes.
"Hey Louis, you seem happy." I teased. He didn't even look at me, he was too lost in his own world.
"Louis ?" I asked again but no sound. I whispered something to Freddie and he grinned evilly. He snuck up behind Louis and screamed in his ear. "DADDDYYYY" Louis jumped from his chair and fell on the floor. We were all laughing.I high fived Freddie and he giggled and continued babbling to my stomach. Louis looked confused as if he didn't know what was going on.
"You seem happy." I chirped. Louis shot me a grin and then said "As if you don't know already" I blushed.
Liam and the boys came in with Emily from the music room, she adores singing with them, Louis cleared his throat and I realized he was about to tell them.
"So boys, wanna hear what happened to me this morning ?" They nodded at the extremely happy Louis. Liam sat beside me putting his hand over my shoulder and kissing my cheek and I smiled at him.
"Well I was driving to get Freddie and when he got in his car seat he kept on talking and talking weirdly but I shrugged it off. When I picked up Dani she gave me a bag and when I opened it I saw a shirt for Freddie and I thanked her. Then I realized that on the shirt it said 'big brother'. I laughed and drove off. After 5 minutes of driving I slammed on the brakes as I realized what it meant. I guess I'm gonna be a dad again." The boys cheered and hugged Louis.
"Are you excited baby ?" I asked him and he nodded excitedly.
"Now I be a big bwothew and a big cousin." I tickled him. "So, I'm gonna be a big cousin too?" Emily asked happily and we nodded, it's so cute how excited the kids were.
"Please don't grow up and stay small." I pouted but he shook his head 'no'.
"I be a man like daddy." and he showed me his 'guns' I fake gasped playing along with him and he had a proud smirk on his face. It reminded me of Emily when I told her to not grow up but she said no so she could be like me. "I remember you told me the same thing when you turned three and here you are now all five and grown up." I told Emily and she giggled.
"How was school today Bud ?" His smile fell and he looked down in shame, all eyes were on him. If I have to get an answer I have to get him comfortable and not pressured. I gestured for everyone to leave and thankfully they caught on. When they left I spoke again.
"Hey, they're gone now." He lifted his head and examined the room. "Can you tell your aunty what's been going on babe ?" He sniffled. "Oh baby, what's wrong ?"
"The b-big k-kids don't l-like m-me aunty." My heart dropped, I know exactly how he feels. I used to be like him when I was a kid but I didn't have the strength to not care about what anyone thought but I wasn't about to let him go through what I went through.
"Listen to me buddy, why do you care if they don't like you ? Do you need them ?" He shook his head no. "Do you have friends ?" He nodded. "Then that's all you need, no need to be upset little one." He smiled a bit and sniffled. "Yeah, I guess." I smiled in accomplishment.
"I have a footie tournament next week, can you and uncles come and watch me ?" He beamed.
"Of course I'll come baby, I will be front row cheering with Emily." He nodded excitedly, forgetting his tears. I smiled knowing how happy I made him. Hopefully he won't let it bother him anymore.
"Do you know what I'm in the mood for ?" "What ?" "Ice-cream" "Yeah"
"Okay how about we go get everyone and we go get some ice-cream ?" He nodded excitedly and we went to the kitchen were the others were seated. At the word ice-cream Emily jumped and everyone else agreed to go.
"Let's go Thomas." I laughed and got up. Everyone came with us as we drove to the ice-cream shop. Dani and I were talking about pregnancy stuff.
"It's great to be pregnant together, we can help each other." She said while we sat on a bench at the park licking our ice-cream.
"Yeah how far along are you ?" I asked.
"A month I think. At least that was the last time me and Lou, you know." I nodded.
"You should go see my doctor she's very nice, I'll come with you if you want."
"Sure thanks, if Lou's busy you can come with. Can you give me the number ?"
"Uh yeah sure." She gave me her phone and I typed it in.
"Thanks, I'll totally call her. We should definitely go shopping for baby clothes."
"Yeah I'm almost 3 months and have absolutely nothing. But me and Liam agreed to announce the pregnancy at 4 months to be out of the miscarriage faze so I kinda don't wanna get caught at the store buying baby clothes." She nodded understanding.
"Yeah you're right. Hey have you seen the latest rumors on Liam and Danielle ?" I nodded.
"Did you two talk about it, they seemed really close." i shook my head 'no'.
"Why not ? I know it's upsetting you because I have eyes. You are totally worried."
"I trust him to tell me if anything happened and he didn't say a word so I shrugged it off."
"Well it's good that you trust him but I know you didn't shrug it off." I sighed.
"How did you know ?"
"Your eyes, the way you look at him. It's like part of you doubts that its a rumor." I sighed.
"Aunty, look at me." I turned to look at Freddie on the jungle gym. I waved and he got down and came running to me. "Did you see me aunty ? I was high up and I made it to the other side." I giggled and tickled him causing him to squirm. "My monkey nephew." He giggled and walked away. I looked at Emily and saw her running away from Niall giggling.
The boys joined us and they talked for a while. Liam had his arm around me while talking to the boys. I couldn't help but think about the rumors. I so badly wanted to not believe anything the paps say because I know that they invent things but the picture is what is taunting me. Danielle gave my hand a squeeze and smiled at me and I smiled back. Liam looked down at me.
"Are you okay babe ? You seem tense. What's on your mind ?" I flashed him a fake smile.
"Nothing." I kissed him and he shrugged and continued his conversation with the boys. Dani gave me a sympathetic look and I gave her a small smile. Then I got lost in thought looking at Freddie and Emily play in the sand box.
After an hour we headed home and me, Freddie and Emily went to the playroom. I was on my phone while they colored. I was scrolling through twitter because there was some trend saying #sorryAmy and #endofLiamy. I scrolled through the feed when I came across a picture of Liam and Danielle the one I had seen before and then one of them kissing and another of them exciting the club hand in hand. Tears fell down my cheek as I stood there dumbfounded. How could he ? I was staring in space when Freddie shook me back to reality.
"Aunty, what's wrong ?" I cried and he hugged me. He was telling me it was okay. A three year old was comforting me. I pulled away and wiped away my tears.
"It's okay bud, go play. I'll be fine." But he wasn't convinced. "Mommy ?" Emily asked.
"I'm okay honey." I smiled through my tears.
"No, you're not okay. You are always happy." I sobbed thinking of how broken I must look.
"It's fine babe, I'll be okay. Can you stay here while I go talk to daddy for a while ?"
"Otay, please come back later." I nodded and kissed his forehead. "Em, please stay with Freddie okay ?" "But" "Please Em." She sighed and nodded. I kissed her forehead and left.
I went to my old room and got under the covers. I texted Louis after an hour of crying alone.
To Louis The Tommo Tomlinson ;)
Can you please come to my old room alone ?
After a while he texted back.
To Amy :D
Sure be right there.
After a couple of minutes he came in and joined me on the bed. I cried on his shoulder while he comforted me.
"Shh, Amy. This isn't good for the baby. Can you tell me what happened ?" I cried more and finally gave him my phone. I looked up and I swear I saw fire coming out of his ears and his nose.
"That son of a -" I cried on his shoulder and then he told me he will go deal with him.
"I love him Louis, how could he ? What did I do ?" I cried in my hands as he got up.
"Don't worry love, want me to send Niall up ? Harry and Dani are out." I nodded.
After a while Niall came in and I showed him my phone and he looked pissed. He cradled me as I cried in his arms.
"Shh, try and calm down love, I know it's hard but think of Thomas and Emily." I cried even more knowing that if anything happens my kids are involved.
"Why ?" I kept repeating that over and over again while Niall rocked us gently and whispered comforting words in my ear. After a while I was tired and exhausted as I felt like no more tears could come out. I was only whimpering and shaking. I fell asleep in Niall's arms as he hummed some song I couldn't recognize.
Louis's POV
I got a text from Amy saying she wanted me to go to her old room, weird so I texted her back. I checked on Freddie and Emily which were in the playroom coloring. Then I made my way to Amy's old room and there she was on the bed crying her eyes out. I wrapped my arms around her as she sobbed.
After a while of her crying I spoke up
"Shh, Amy. This isn't good for the baby. Can you tell me what happened ?" She cried more and then gave me her phone. I saw pictures of Liam and his ex, they were very close as I scrolled more there was one picture of them kissing and another of them leaving he pub, it was when we had the boys night out.
"That son of a -" She cried on my shoulder. "I'll go talk some sense in to him." I told her.
"I love him Louis, how could he ? What did I do ?" She cried in her hands as I got up to confront Liam.
"Don't worry love, want me to send Niall up ? Harry and Dani are out." I said and she nodded.
I left the room and went to Niall's room.
"Hey Ni, can you go to Amy's old room. Amy's a mess and I need to go fix things up for her." I left without letting him say a word. I made my way to Liam's room while Niall entered Amy's room.
"Every hear of knocking ?" Liam said clearly annoyed but I couldn't care less.
"Why should I knock, will I interrupt you and Dani having sex ? How could you do that to her ?She's carrying your child for Christ sake. Your'e married to HER." I growled. He got off his desk and approached me.
"I can expl-" I cut him off.
"Explain what, how Amy sent you for a night out for once, because she thought you deserve sometime to yourself for looking after her all the time and this is how you repay her ? By shoving your tongue down that sluts throat. How do you live with yourself ?"
"Louis-"
"Save your bullshit Liam, Amy is crying her eyes out because of you, you broke her. She's asking herself what she did wrong for you to do all this to her. She loves you for gods sake. Why Liam why ?" I looked at him and he had tears streaming down his face and made me feel a little guilty. But he deserved all of it.
"Can you please let me explain." He croaked out. I decided to listen so I nodded.
"Go on, let's hear it." I said still pissed. He wiped away his tears and sat down.
"When we were at that pub, Danielle approached me and sat down very close to me. I tried scooting away but she kept getting closer. She put her hands on my thigh and kept telling me how much she regrets breaking up with me and stuff. I swear she was drunk, it was very evident. Next thing I know she kissed me but I pushed her off. She threatened to hurt Amy if I didn't go with her to her place and before I could respond she dragged me outside. I pulled away from her once we were out and told her that I'm capable of keeping Amy safe from her myself and her threats don't scare me. She threatened to hurt my child. I was furious and she said that this won't be the end of her. She took off and then I joined you again." I scoffed.
"Okay, Mr. Buzzlightyear. Since you told her you could protect her and that she doesn't scare you then why didn't tell Amy what happened ?" I growled.
"I didn't want her to worry-"
"So you preferred to let her find out some other way. Liam, you and I both know that the truth always comes out. How could you hide this from her ?She thinks she's not good enough for you and that she deserved to be cheated on. She's crying her eyes out because of this. You have to fix this. She's pregnant and you and I both know that she can't handle the stress and it's not good for her pregnancy. So do something to fix this before it will be too late." I left him alone and closed his door. I could hear him cry.
I feel bad for him, I know he didn't cheat and I kinda always knew he would never do that but he brought this on himself and he has to fix this. I just hope Amy forgives him and that she and the baby won't suffer from Liam's mistake.
Amy's POV
I woke up and sat up straight. I was asleep on Niall's lap and Louis was shushing both Emily and Freddie. I promised them to go back and I guess they wanted to come see if I was okay.
"Aunty, are you otay ?" I nodded and smiled at him and he hugged me. Memories of what happened before I dozed off came flooding back and tears formed in my eyes but I blinked them away. If Liam was a jerk to do this to me than he doesn't deserve my tears. I have to stay calm for the baby. "How about you guys go to the playroom and I'll join you in a bit." They nodded and ran off.
"Amy, I talked to Liam. You should let him explain because it's not what you think." Louis said and I was shocked.
"How could a picture of him kissing Danielle and then leaving the building with her hand-in-hand be something that is not what I'm thinking. I'm not dumb Louis." He sighed and Niall rubbed my back.
"I know it looks bad but please trust me and give him a chance." I sighed and nodded.
"Fine, only because I want what's best for this baby." I looked down and rubbed my stomach. I was in love with my bump.
"Come downstairs and eat dinner then you can talk to him, he won't stop crying in his room and refused to eat." I sighed because I feel kinda bad for him but I'm still pissed. I love him so of course I care about him and I'm willing to listen to him.
"I'm going to go talk to him first, I'm not even that hungry." Louis sighed.
"You have to eat, you're eating for two remember ?" I groaned and nodded.
"Thanks for everything." I hugged all of them.
I left the room and got in front of Liam's door and I could hear him cry. I hesitated but then opened the door slowly. When I opened it enough his eyes met mine and he sobbed even more, tears were streaming down my cheek as I saw him like that. He was curled up in a ball on his bed fisting the bed sheets.
"Amy, I'm so sorry please hear me out." I walked next to him and sat down on our bed. I nodded and he sniffled and then wiped away his tears.
"At that pub, Danielle approached me and kept sitting very close to me and I tried to move away. She kept touching me and telling me how much she regrets breaking up with me and stuff. I could tell she was drunk. Next thing I know she kissed me but I pushed her off. She threatened to hurt you if I didn't go with her to her place so she dragged me outside. I pulled away from her once we were out and told her that her threats don't scare me. She threatened to hurt our baby and that she will be back." I cried when I heard all that.
"I'm sorry Li." I chocked and he rubbed my back telling me it wasn't my fault.
"But why didn't you tell me?I expect you to come to me if anything happens. I had to find out like this. You could have avoided all this, I would have believed you. I love you and I thought you trusted me." I cried as I faced him.
"Of course I trust you, I didn't this will happen. I didn't want you to worry about things happening to you during your pregnancy or to our child. So I kept it to myself but now I regret it so much. I'm such an idiot."
"This was worst Li, I thought I did something for you to cheat on me. Next time Li, please tell me. I won't get stressed if I know you trust me enough to tell me she kissed you and threatened our child." He nodded and we hugged crying on each other's shoulder.
"How about we go have dinner ?" I suggested. He nodded and we went downstairs. Louis mouthed 'are you okay' and I nodded smiling in response and mouthing 'thank you'.
