Always & Forever

*Thea POV*

Noah and I were led to down to Tayler's room by Arizona on the opposite side of the hospital. We stopped outside a door and I could see Tayler through the window of door.

"Go on in. I'll see you in two weeks." Arizona rubs my arm and opens the door.

Noah and I walk in and he closes the door behind us.

"Thea?" Tayler whispers.

"Hi baby." I croak walking over to him. I sit on the chair and grab his hand. "You had me so worried."

"Thea are you okay? The baby? Are you both okay? Your neck?"He asks the panic in his voice.

"We are both fine. We both got checked out and there's nothing wrong with us. I just having slight bruising and a small cut." I smile reassuring him.

"I'm sorry Thea. I'm so sorry!" Tayler looks at me before looking down at our hands.

"You have nothing to be sorry for? Why are you even apologising?." I ask confused.

"I failed to protect you both. I put you both in danger!"

"No Tayler! He took a cheap shot. This is not your fault!"

"She's right man. He took a cheap shot and they continued while you were down." Noah stands up at the end of the bed.

"What did the doctors say?" I asked him.

"Concussion and just needed stitches for my lip. Some bruising and swelling around my stomach. What happened after I passed out?" He asks looking between us.

"Well, we were in the guesthouse when Markell came running in and told us that Abel stormed in. By the time we got in, you were unconscious and he had Thea by the neck against the wall -"

"He what?!!" Tayler sits up before going pale.

"Tayler. You need to relax. Lie back down." I instruct him.

"Bryce grabbed him and started beating him up. Kelianne had called the emergency services. He and his crew were hauled out and arrested. All of us were okay and just had to give statements."

"He's not going to get away with this." Tayler grits through his teeth.

"We're not doing this now Tayler." I roll my eyes at Noah.

The door opens and a doctor walks in.

"Ah you must be Thea. I'm Dr De Luca." I stand up to shake his hand.

"Well Tayler, all labs have come back clear. You're free to go." He smiles. "Just take it easy the next few days. He's a prescription for pain medication and anti inflammatories." I take the prescription from him and he leaves us to it.

"I'll bring ye back to the compound. I'll meet you both in reception."

Noah leaves and it's just the two of us. I help him to sit up and help him get changed back in to the clothes he was wearing when he was brought in.

"Baby?" He takes my face in his hands.

"Yes." I smile up at him.

"I will never, ever let anything like this happen. Ever again." He leans down and places a kiss on my lips.

"I know babe. I love you." I kiss him back.

"I love you. The both of you so much it hurts."

C'mon you softy. Let's get you out of here." I take his hand in mine and we make our way out to Noah. We follow him out to the car park and get in to his car.

We arrive back at the compound and Noah helps Tayler out of the car. We head inside and to the dining area where everyone is seated.

"You're back!" Bryce stands up and rushes over to us pulling us in to a hug.

"Easy Bryce! Maybe you should have came with us by the looks of it!" I stand back taking in his appearance of cuts and bruising on his face.

"Are you both okay?" Jaden asks.

"Well the three of you really!" Kelianne nods at my stomach.

"Yes we are all fine. Thank god. Is everyone here okay?" Everyone nods in response.

"Okay so I need to get him back home and in to bed."

"Period!" Markell shouts out.

"Not that type of getting in to bed!" I exclaim looking at Tayler. "Well not yet anyway!" I smirk.

"Dude. You're my sister!" Bryce shakes his head walking out of the room.
