Harlow

Chapter 38



Leo's POV

I had kept my phone off so no one could find where we were. I worked out yesterday that Dean has used his guy to track Mac's phone and that's how they turned up to the hospital. I knew I was going to need to let everyone know Harlow was safe but I also needed her permission to let them know what had gone down so they didn't stress her out. We decided to head to get food before we would return to Sue and Steve's place. We went through McDonald drive through and grabbed some breakfast. We parked at the beach so we could eat. Harlow had been quiet again and you could see she was lost in her own head.

"Harl's I need to let them know what's going on so they don't cause any more stress" I said. She looked at me like I had grown two heads. "Harl's I think you want this baby and the midwife said limit the stress so I need to let them know so they don't stress you out demanding you to speak to them ok?" I asked her. I had seen how Kody telling everyone her business had upset her and I wanted to get permission before I did it. Harlow nodded her head and I got out of the car to make the calls.

I switched my phone on and first called Kody, he answered straight away. "Where are you? Why the fuck did you take off? Is Harlow ok?" Kody asked. "Calm down she is ok physically. We took off because you told everyone her business and she needed space" I replied. "She is my sister Leo, you could of called" Kody replied. "Look she needed me, she had a massive fight with Toby and is barely talking to anyone. I am not apologising for putting her first" I replied.

"Anyway we went to the hospital this morning. She lost one. She was pregnant with twins and she can't handle stress right now cause she could lose the other one. I'm taking her to Sue and Steve's place now" I told Kody. "Shit how is she? Does she want to even keep the baby?" He asked. "Yeh I think she does. Kody I haven't seen her like this at all with Toby, she wouldn't even sleep in the same bed as him last night. She believes she is alone in all this" I say. "Ok I'll meet you at Sue's place. We need to tell Hendrix and Dean" Kody replied. "I will call them now" I replied before hanging up.

I called Hendrix who started abusing me as soon as he answered the call. "Calm the fuck down" I shouted. "Are you with Dean and the others?" I asked. "Yeh why?" He replied. "Put it on speaker you all need to hear this" I replied. A few minutes later with Hendrix still abusing me he told me I was on speaker. "Right listen up. You all need to stay the hell away from Harlow" I began. Everyone started to object including Dean who yelled "she is pregnant with my child I'll do what the fuck I like". "We know you fucked around already without thinking about hurting her but you will leave her alone. She already lost one of the babies she can't have any stress around her. The midwife said she is at risk of losing the other one and if you don't leave her the fuck alone you will have to deal with me" I said.

"What?" Asked Jett. "She was pregnant with twins, one didn't survive" I replied. "Shit" Dean and Hendrix called out. "Now you will stay the fuck away from her and let her come to you if and when she wants to speak to you" I said. "I need to see her Leo, it's my baby too and she can't be the only one making decisions" Dean said. "It's her body Dean, you will back off" I replied before hanging up.

Harlow's POV

Leo was on the phone for a while and Toby kept trying to talk to me but I had nothing to say. He climbed into the back seat with me and sat next to me. "Harlow, I'm so fucken sorry. I didn't mean what I said. I'm an idiot, hit me, scream at me just please don't hate me. I can't do this with out you Harl's. I will be there for you through the entire pregnancy, fuck I will claim the baby as mine if you want. I will raise this child with you as my own. I'm not leaving you Harlow, not now and not ever" he said. I couldn't help the tears coming to my eyes. This was my best friend who had picked me up so many times in the last 6 years and yet he had hurt me badly. I was so lost without him though, but I was so very hurt. Toby pulled me into a hug and I felt safe. "I'm so sorry Harl's. I swear I will make it up to you no matter how long it takes. I never want to see you crying again because of me" he whispered while holding onto me.

Leo went to get back in the car and saw Toby holding me so went round to the drivers side getting in. He drove us to Sue and Steve's place without saying a word. When we pulled up and Sue and Steve's I expected to see everyone there but there was no one. We headed inside to speak to Sue as Steve was at work. Leo and Toby told her everything while I went to empty my stomach in the toilet. The McDonald's may not of been the best option at all.

Kody turned up while I was in the bathroom and hugged me apologising for telling everyone my business yesterday. He promised to keep the others away from me if I wanted to come stay at Mac's house with him. I didn't know what I wanted at the moment so Toby lead me to his room and put me to bed because I hadn't slept properly the night before. Toby got in next to me and pulled me close letting me use him as a pillow. I still hadn't forgiven him, my head was all over the place. I couldn't think of anything other than the baby I lost and keeping this one safe. With those thoughts swirling in my mind I eventually dozed off.
