Avery's pov:
I wake up with a slight headache and the feeling of sickened. I pull the covers off me. I was back at the house, back in our "bedroom." Liam was sitting in the chair in the corner of the room on his phone. I assumed he was waiting for me to wake up. I was freaking out. What was going to happen? He wouldn't even talk to me on the boat. I never saw him like that.

He still didn't notice I was awake. I shift in the bed hoping he will notice I am awake. He does.

"You're up." He stands up and puts his phone in his back pocket.

"Yeah. What time is it?"
"12:30pm."
"Oh."
"Come on, let's get you something to eat." He walks closer to me and puts his hand out for me to take.
"I'm really not hungry." I mutter.
"Come on." He is stern.
"Liam please, really."
"I said let's go." He snaps.

I take his hand and follow behind him.

Liam is quiet while making lunch. I can tell he is thinking about what to say to me.

He hands me a plate with a sandwich on it. I only take a small bite.

"Avery you need to eat. It's been nearly 2 days since you've actually eaten come on." He urges me with anger.

"I'm telling you I'm really not that hungry." I plea once again.

"If you don't want to eat then fine. But at least do it for the babies. Don't neglect them." He spits with anger.

Something about that comment riled me up. Filled me with rage.

"I'm not neglecting them! I'm doing everything I can to protect them from a monster like you! Why do you think I was running away?!" I yell.

"Look where that got you Av! You got kidnapped by fucking Robbie! You could've been killed! You put them in harms way by trying to escape! What the hell! You could've been hurt! They could've been hurt!" He yells back.

I couldn't help but cry. He was trying to get to me. Make me feel bad for escaping. I wasn't neglecting them, I wasn't harming them I was protecting them.

"Don't you dare tell me I was harming them! I would never do that to my children!" I scream.

"Alright, alright. Relax. We need to talk about what happened Avery. You're not getting out of that conversation." He gives me a stern look.

"So was that your plan all along? Pretend to be really happy about the twins? Tell everyone, get us all liquored up? So you and Emma could escape? With Ella too?! You took our children away from us Avery! How can I ever trust you?! Every time I think you're settling you just try to run again! What else do I have to do for you to understand?!" He yells.

"I don't want to be here! I don't want to be on this god forsaken fucking island! I don't want to deliver two children on an island! What if something happens Liam? We NEED to go to a hospital! I was only doing it for them." I cry harder.

"I'm not having that discussion with you anymore. I told you we're not going to the hospital and that's final!" He slams his fist on the table.

I take a bit of the sandwich and slide the plate towards him.

"I want to talk to Emma." I mumble.
"No." He gets up and wraps up the sandwich.
"What? Why?" I look at him puzzled.

He begins to laugh.

"Do you really think after everything that happened I'm going to let you two see each other again? Absolutely not. You both need a break from each other." His voice is filled with anger.

"Liam you can't just do that! That's insane! I'm going to go crazy here with you!" I yell back.

"Sucks doesn't it. Should've thought about that before escaping." He shrugs.

"You're a fucking asshole Liam." I snarl.

"Eh. Feels pretty good to be me right now." He laughs.

I run up the stairs. What a jerk. Who the hell did he think he was? How could he do this? He was keeping me prisoner. I couldn't be left alone with him. I'd go crazy. Was Ryan acting the same way toward Emma? I went into the bathroom to turn on the shower. I still couldn't shake the feeling of watching Ryan murder Robbie. I felt sick thinking about it. There was still so much left unsaid with Liam. I wanted to talk more but he was in one of his cynical moods and I couldn't bear it any longer. I suddenly felt sick. I told him I wasn't hungry.

I wrapped the towel around me and rushed to the toilet. I threw up the small bit of the sandwich I had just eaten. I must have not heard the knock at the door. Liam was standing in the doorway frame.

"Liam what the fuck! What if I was showering!" I yell.
He rolls his eyes.

"I came to change. Relax. I heard you getting sick. I just wanted to make sure you were alright." He sighs.

"Well I'm fine. You can go now." I say in a sassy tone.

"Why? I haven't been with you for a bit." He smirks.

He walks over to me and tries to pull my towel from me.

"GET OUT!" I yell at him.

"I'll be waiting." He winks and walks out.

I finish my shower and dry myself off. I pray that he isn't waiting in the bedroom for me even though I know he probably is.

Of course, he is. I rush to the closest and quickly put on sweatpants and one of his shirts. My bump continues to grow and I don't have any maternity clothes, so his clothes it is.

"You look cute in my stuff babe." He smirks.
"Well it's all I got." I role my eyes.

"Is Ryan holding Emma a prisoner too? Like you are with me?"

He roles his eyes and looks at me.

"Avery do we really need to start this again?" He mutters.

"I'm serious. Why are you being like this?"
"Well if you must know yes. We both agreed you need some time away from each other. We all need to adjust. You guys have been spending too much time together. We all need to learn how to be a family together. Not just you and Emma planning behind our backs. Christmas is only a few weeks away you can see each other then."

"That's almost a month away! Liam you can't do this! I hate you!" I cry.

"I can do this and I will do this!" He roars.

"You need to learn how to listen! It's not just you and I anymore! We have two children to worry about! Stop playing fucking games Avery!" He yells louder.

"Get out." I whisper in an angry tone.
"Babe it's my room too you know. You can't just kick me out." He scoffs.
"Fine."
I brush my way past him making sure to bump into him on purpose. Smart move. At least I thought.

He grabs my wrist and spins me toward him. He pulls me into him.

"You can't get away from me babe. You don't make the decision." He grins.

He pulls me as close as he can. I feel my bump touching his stomach. He kisses me. The kiss is filled with angry passion. It would be hot. But I couldn't put my feelings of anger for him aside. It didn't mean shit if he was the father of my children. He was an evil man.

I pull away from him and give him an angry look.

"You're so dramatic babe. I know that you liked it." He rolls his eyes and laughs.

How could someone so evil, someone who has done so many bad things make me feel like this? I say I don't love him. I don't. But why did I feel something when we kissed?
