The Calm
Chapter 70
-Austin’s POV-
I don’t know how this night turned to this. I feel the blood crawling down my face. I’m too afraid to open my eyes maybe I’m dead and the sirens are my imagination? Everything that I wanted is now going to be taken away, but I worked so hard to get here. I have a child on the way and I got her. She’s mine forever. No, this can’t be happening.

“Baby, you’re going to look fine no matter what you wear!” I said to Scarlett as she tried to decide what to wear for dinner tonight.
“Austin, I’m so fucking pregnant. If I wear this pink dress I will legit look like a watermelon!” She was agitated, but I laughed at how serious she was.
“Scar, wear the green one then!” I said still laughing at her because she was glaring at me for laughing at how ridiculous she was being.
“No fruit colored dresses! This isn’t funny please stop laughing.” She said now pouting, dear gosh this girl.
“Wear the grey one then!” I said, I was really trying to help but I was getting nowhere. She’s 6 months pregnant now and not having any of my shit.
“You’re no help! We shouldn’t be having a celebration dinner while I’m pregnant. This was a bad idea.” She says now coming to sit next to me on the bed. I wrap my arms around her and pull her into my side.
“I can tell everyone that we’ve decided not to have it tonight because you aren’t feeling well.” I said softly into her hair.
“No…no we have to go…does the grey dress look bad?” she says.
“Nope baby I like it but I didn’t think you would.”
“Grey dress it is” she says as she gets out of my arms and back into the closet.
She came out of our bedroom twenty minutes after I had finished getting ready. We seriously had to leave any minute or we were going to be late.
I told her that we were having a celebration of everyone getting through the past couple months but in reality, no one knew that we were engaged these past two months. I kind of wanted to surprise everyone and celebrate it.
Finally she came out of the room, her fashion sense not lacking even though she was pregnant. I smiled at her. Damn was she beautiful. (Scar’s Outfit)
“You look perfect sweetheart” I said as I got up to hug her and kiss her soft lips.
“Thanks baby.” She said as she kissed me back.
We broke away. “You ready?” I asked and she nodded her head.
On the ride there I told her my plan on how we were going to tell everyone that we were engaged.
She agreed right when I pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant.
Phil, Anouk, Aaron, Amanda, Brooke, Alan, Tino, Jen, Erin, Tony, Alysha, Mike, Jamie, Jessica, and Scarlett and I were seated to a huge table.
Everyone was gushing over how Scarlett looked and of course touching her belly.
After eating and talking to everyone, Scar looked at me knowing it was the time to tell everyone.
“So guys…we didn’t just come here to celebrate all that we’ve been through, even though we all went through some shit.” Tino stopped me.
“Well she’s knocked up already what is it Carlile!” He said and we all laughed.
I grabbed Scar’s left hand from under the table she had put her ring on while I was trying to make my speech. I brought it up with mine.
“We’re engaged!” Scarlett said. And the ‘how long have you been keeping this from us’ and ‘oh my gods’ rang out.
I kissed her not even caring we were in a restaurant. In that moment I was so happy nothing could ruin this.
“I’m so fulllllll” Scar said dragging her letters out and I laughed. We were on our way home now.
“You ate quite a bit for a change, sorry that my cooking sucks.” I said and we both laughed.
“You’re daughter made me eat all that. Shit I’m going to be so fat by time she comes.”
“No you aren’t silly.” I said and reached my one hand over to her belly.
“I’ve never had my stomach touched so much in my life.” She said and I started to pull my hand away. She pulled it back. “No honey you’re allowed.” She’s so cute.
“I love you Scar.”
“I love you more.” She said and giggled.
I looked over at her smiling back at me. As soon as I turned away I saw bright lights on her side out of the corner of my eye. I was too confused as to what was happening. “What the fuck?” I said out loud.
But it was too late. I saw the fear in her eyes then everything went black.
I was in some state where everything was dark.
I couldn’t move I was numb.
I don’t know how long I was like this, but I started to hear the sirens getting closer.
Realization started to kick in of tonight’s events. I don’t know how this night turned to this. I feel the blood crawling down my face. I’m too afraid to open my eyes maybe I’m dead and the sirens are my imagination? Everything that I wanted is now going to be taken away, but I worked so hard to get here. I have a child on the way and I got her.
She’s mine forever.
No, this can’t be happening.
