Forever Mine

Chapter 17

"Were having a boy and a girl!" Liam exclaims.
"Oh my god that is wonderful!" Liz exclaims.

Everyone chatters away about how excited they were for us. I couldn't help but smile. And then I felt the nerves hit. I was bringing not one but two children into the world. Was Liam's legacy going to continue after all? Would I have to raise his kids on an island? What if something happened while I was delivering? I had been so excited, getting my mind off being stuck here. I was finally ready to have kids but not Liam's. I suddenly felt sick.

I felt a hand on my arm. Liam was bringing me back into reality. 

"My dad ask if we had thought of any names for the baby yet." Liam smiles at me.

I looked at Andrew, he had an angry look on his face. I still hated him. He backed off a lot ever since the pregnancy announcement but he still creeped me out. Same with Ryan, I had just gotten a bit more used to him.

"Oh uh, we have thought about it but haven't picked anything yet." I fake a smile. 

I sit through the rest of dinner barley eating. I just moved things back and fourth on the plate. After the announcement I didn't really feel like myself anymore. I quickly excused myself from dinner when it was finished. I pulled Liam aside.

"Can I go outside for a bit? I just need some air." I flash him my best smile.

"Yeah, of course. Just don't get any ideas. Right on the deck where I can see you." He looks at me with stern eyes.

"Of course, thank you." I stand on my tippy toes and give him a kiss on the cheek.

I hated having to ask for my freedom. Feeling like a caged animal. It wasn't fair but it was what I was faced with.

Emma was busy putting Ella to bed. 

I let out a sigh of relief when I sit on the deck. It was a cold night out but my sweater was keeping me warm. I closed my eyes and listened to the waves crashing. 

"So twins huh?" 

I pull myself up startled. 

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." Liz came over and sat down next to me. 

"Did he?" She can barley say the words. 

I bite my lip. I didn't want to say it. I was scared. I didn't want to admit the truth. 

I just give her a nod and begin to cry. 

"Liz it was so terrible. He was drunk. He kept telling me it would be good for us. Now I am pregnant with twins." I cry.

"I thought I had come to terms with being pregnant but telling everyone just made it worse. I can't do this Liz. I can't!" I cry louder.

She doesn't say a word but pulls me into a hug. 

"He won't even take me to a damn hospital to deliver my children! What if something happens to them?!" I sob.

Liz lets out a breath. 

"Stay right here." Liz commands.

I look at her confused. She runs back into the house. A few minutes later she is walking out with Emma and a sleepy Ella in her arms. 

"What's going on?" 

We both look at Liz confused.

"I can't let this go on any longer. I need to get you both out of here. Avery this is no place to deliver children and Emma, Ella can't grow up here. You both have lives to get back to. I can't let you stay here any longer. We will get the men drunk. It is the perfect occasion. Thanksgiving and we just found out the gender, they won't suspect a thing. When they the time is right you two will take the boat back. There is land you can reach by morning. It is small but you can call for help and get back into town to get to the police. By the time they wake up it will be too late. You'll have gotten too far." 

"Wait, Liz. Why are you saying us?" Emma points to me, her and Ella.

"You girls go first and get help. I will make sure the coast is clear for you to go. Don't worry about me. I will be ok." 

"Liz! You can't do that!" I yelp. 

"I will be ok, please girls trust me. Do this for your children." She squeezes both our hands.

She was right. I needed to do this for my babies. They had their real family to meet. 

Emma and I both look at each other and nod.

"Come, come. We need to begin the plan now." Liz tells us.

We follow her lead and walk back in. 

I knew it wouldn't be too hard to get Liam drunk. I just had to pretend to be happy. I do it all the time now. 

"Let's have a toast for the happy couple and the twins to come!" Liz shouts.

She holds out a bottle of champagne for Liam to take. He smiles and pops it open. He pours some for all. I watch the men quickly drink it while Liz and Emma take slow sips. 

They finished the bottle and moved on to rum and cola. Not long now. I kept glancing at Emma. How was she feeling? Was she nervous? What would Chase think when I told him I was pregnant? Would he be upset with me? I was so scared. 

I felt Liam rub my arm. I couldn't help but flinch.

"Babyyy what's wrong?" He slurs.

I roll my eyes when he doesn't see.

"Oh, sorry. I was lost in thought thinking about the babies." I fake a smile.

"Oh that's so sweet." He grins and kisses me. 

I give him a kiss back while trying not to throw up.

"More refills for everyone?" I ask.

All the men nod.

I take the glasses and quickly walk to the kitchen. I make sure to pour heavy handed. This will sure put them on their asses. It was almost time for us to leave. I can't believe this was going to happen. 

"You okay?" Emma walks in.

"I am freaking out Em." 

"I know but it is going to be ok. We will reach the land by morning. They won't catch us by then. It is ok. We can do this." She squeezes my shoulder.

"For your babies." She looks down at my belly. 

"For Baby Ren and Liliah." I smile and look down at my belly and hold it.

"WAIT YOU PICKED NAMES?!" She shouts.

"Shhhh." I smile.

"Well, I did. Unless Liam says no." I frown.

"Wait a minute. It doesn't matter what he thinks. He won't be in my life anymore." I smile.

"So yes I did pick names. Ren for baby boy and Liliah for baby girl." I smile.

"I absolutely love the names Av." She gives me a hug.

"Come on, help me with the drinks." I grin.

We hand them their drinks. They are about half way through when they are most definitely more than drunk.

Liz gives us a nod. Emma runs up to grab Ella and Liz and I walk to the kitchen.

Liz, Emma, Ella, and I are all gathered in the kitchen.

"It's time girls." She gives us a nervous smile.
