"Doctor is everything alright?" Arthur asked.
"She is fine, just a little tired and over exhausted. Let her rest for a while and not strain herself " said the doctor.
Rose had been getting pain in her belly for a while. It all started when. she decides to help with Irene's wedding. But her body could not handle all of it.
Yes, she had been pregnant once but this was different since she was carrying twins now. Her body was so strong and her handling work, wedding plans, and her son was hard. Arthur was mostly business at work so when he found out she was in pain he rushed home with the doctor.
After seeing the doctor off, he returned and laid next to her in bed.
"Don't overwork yourself especially in this condition " he whispered in her ear.
"Hmm.."
"I know I have been so busy but I promise to be done by tomorrow" he promised.
" it's alright I can manage " Rose mumbled.
"But you can't do it all alone "
She moved closer to him, wrapping her arms around his waist, "I know and I won't again. But since your here now please rock me to sleep " she said.
He scoffed looking down at her pretty pale face.
"I love you," he said as he held her close to his heart letting his warmth and scent sink into her.
She breathed in his scent and smiled So familiar
she thought, " I love you more "
He had gone back to his past self of torture and killing to get what he wanted. Sean or his father knew nothing about it since he kept it a secret.
Since he killed Victoria and almost cropped Richard, Arthur's inner demons had returned pulling him back to the cold, dark world Of his past.
He watched her drown to sleep, as he thought of ways to help him snap back to the reality he had acquired with her. But with each passing moment, he wanted more of the torture and killing than being home with Rose.
"What am I going to do when you find out " he breathed admiring her flawless face.
Rose had a dream that night, she was walking alone along a dark path with a voice calling her name. It was a familiar voice but sue could not remember who it was. When she turned to see who it was only two shadows were present. Rose could feel emotions of pain and worry flow into her as she tried to run away from it.
"GET AWAY FROM ME " she screamed before waking up.
Her body was draped with sweat, she got up realizing she was alone in bed. She checked the time on her phone it was just midnight, " where did Arthur go at this hour " she thought.
Grabbing her nightgown, Rose moved down the stairs looking for him. Expecting him to be in his study, she walked towards it and in opening the door the too was empty.
Moving to her son's room she found him soothing little Arthur back to sleep.
"What's wrong did something happen?" she whispered.
"I heard him scream and when I got here he was crying. It seems he heard a nightmare "
She moved close to her son's face and kissed his forehead.
Rose waited until their son drifted back to sleep, then left with Arthur back to their room.
"I wonder what a young child like him would dream about," she said.
"When I asked him after stopping his crying he said that his mommy had disappeared and gone far away "
Rose frowned as she remembered her dream, what did they mean she thought. She had woken up scared and angry but could not remember what exactly she was scared and angry at.
She moved to the bathroom and washed her face, Arthur walked in watching her image in the mirror.
"What on your mind?" he asked passing her a towel to dry her face.
"You have changed " Rose let out.
Arthur frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Everybody is telling me that am wrong, but I know you, Arthur. I feel there is something wrong with you but I just can't find out what exactly it is"
He moved to where she was and hugged her, " I have never changed, am still your Arthur, and your still my butterfly " he said but his face held different emotions as he said it.
