All Chapters of Meant to Be... Yours: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ella stood up forgetting about the food and went to him. She sat on his lap catching him off guard and raked her fingers through his messy soft strands, then lovingly caressed his face holding his gaze on her own. She rested her forehead on his and stared at each other for a long time.“Justin, I love you so much I’d never regret having your baby!” her confession came in a whisper, and she saw when his eyes changed colors and dilated. Ella licked her parted lips, bringing his attention to her lush plump lips, and

“No, no, no!!!” her anguished whimpers woke Justin up and her fingers held the pendant around her neck so hard they were white. “Why?” she yelled and finally woke up from her nightmare.She stared at him like he had grown snakes in his head. The room was lit by a soft light and Justin could see all the emotions going through her at that moment. He rested his forehead in hers.“Tell me, babe.” Listening to the concern in his voice, she closed her eyes and when she opened again,

Both left the room, not before Justin gave one last glance at Ella. Something wasn’t right, he felt it. What was so important he couldn’t be there. He followed Joseph to the porch and both sat to enjoy the beginning of the sunset. It was a chilly day but still had sun rays enough to keep them warm under their coats. Joe was a warm and easygoing man, he explained about their routine around the corn farm. Told about the day they had found Matt at the hospital, and how depressed and lost he was and how their heart was touched by him to the point to bring him home with them, but not once Justin stopped worrying about Ella in that room. He was getting nervous by the second. The sun had already set, and they were about to come inside when he heard Ella shouting totally out of control. He felt her screams in his bones and a cold sensation gripped his soul.

 “I punched Hank.” suddenly his voice resounded through the night. He heard her soft chuckle, and a smile came to his lips.“No, you didn’t, why would you do that for?” she asked, but didn’t move to look at him.“He upset you, and I thought he deserved.”“Hope you didn’t hurt him much!” she moved to rest her face on his chest.

“How do you know?” she whispered nervously.“I know, believe me. Let’s get to the park, come,” and they picked up the pace. She could hear soft footsteps following them not so far behind.
