[Britt<3] Forget me not

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Green eyes peered across the vast stretched of Chaspel Heights. The place had large span, she supposed some could learn to be alright with being here, if they could ignore the testing, the fucked up things that went on in that hospital. Zoey couldn't share those thoughts though, not now. Fingers brushed her stomach slowly and she swallowed. Raising a kid? They had been stressed, but figured they could do it. At least until they were set on the run, keeping Britton from prison. Not that this was any better.
Zoey walked slowly, biting her liip at the kick in her stomach. She wasn't sure where Britton was, but had agreed to meet when they could, if they could, around this time. He was the only thing keeping her from breaking down in this place.

Britt had been wandering around, trying to clear his head. The closer it got to the delivery date, the more nervous he got. He wasn't sure this was what he was expecting. Maybe it was just the nerved, the uncertainty. The pain of raising someone else's baby. But maybe it was for the best. This was the only way he would get a kid. He looked around, finally spotting his pregnant spouse. He smiled, walking up to her. He placed a hand on her stomach gently. "You're the size of a house. Are you gonna get any bigger?"

Zoey looked up, offering a weak smile and covering his hand with her own smaller one. "I would hope not..." She laced their fingers together. Zoey was terrified.
Not only that, but she missed Tony so much. And her mother, who had helped in their escape, told them to try and come back when it was safe..gave them money..
But they'd fallen into a trap. There was no escape, not here..
Tears burned in he eyes and she swallowed, willing them away as she hugged her entire world close.

Britt wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close. Hugging her was odd with the beach ball of a stomach she had now. But he loved it. He could feel the baby moving and kicking. He kissed the top of her head, gently rubbing her back. "Maybe he'll be cute like you. The we can say we have the cutest kid out of everyone."

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey's smile broadened a little more. "You're sweet.." She stretched up to kiss him softly, hanging onto his hands. "It won't be long, hm?" Fear wavered her voice. "How are you..?" She couldn't help but worry about him, just as not only did she have a sense of danger for herself, but sometimes for him as well if she was focused enough. Fingers played with his thicker ones, swinging their hands gently.

"Not long at all." He smiled, kissing her forehead gently. He reached up, gently brushing her hair back from her forehead. "I'm alright." He said quietly. He didn't want to depress her, tell her his cancer was slowly spreading, getting closer and closer to his brain. He wanted her to be happy and have her little family as long as she could. "What about you?"

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey rubbed his stomach slowly, sighing. "Surviving." She murmured. She was stressed, but like Britton she didn't need him worrying. She had stumbled across Connor in this place. He had really slid downhill. As for the whole baby issue, she could only guess they would want to do testing on him as well.

[britton marcus roberts]

Britt took her hand, slowly starting to walk. He'd seen her ex too. And as always, it made him feel inferior. But he was getting used to it. Britt was dying, that's the fact of the matter. The least she should have would be a friend there, someone to help her with her baby. "Its getting nice out. What with fall turning to winter." He said quietly, coughing into his sleeve.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey took his hand, leaning her head gently on his arm as she walked, the other hand resting absently on her stomach. She ignored the sneer from someone as they passed. "Mm.. It really is." She agreed. Even his cough worried her. She couldn't help it, stoll seeing him as her everything. She knew he was sick even if she pretended it dodn't bother her as much as it did

[britton marcus roberts]

"Maybe he'll be born soon. November's a nice month. And my birthday's Christmas. So we really don't need another December birthday." He figured by talking so much, she wouldn't notice the cough. And maybe it would go away, wouldn't be so pronounced if he talked.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey chuckled softly. "No more christmas babies?" She teased, patting her stomach. "I don't think he wants to wait until December, anyway." She brought Britton's hand to her lips, kissing over his knuckles slowly before looking up at the sky. It relaxed her, the colors there, Britton at her side. No matter how wrong most people saw it, to her it felt perfect.

"He's just anxious to come out and be spoiled, is all." Britt teased. He glanced up at the sky, chewing on his lip. "It doesn't matter to me when he comes. I just wanna hold him." That was his goal. He wasn't aiming for graduation, or seeing him have a family. He knew he might not even see him turn one.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey smiled faintly at that. She worried about Britton not getting to see him grow up. It broke her heart knowing he might not be here with them forever.. But at the same time, she didn't even know exactly how bad it was. Her grip tightened gently on his hand. She hummed under her breath, a song Connor used to sing when she cried over him being sick as well. It seemed like a trend, dying boyfriends.. But Connor had prepared her for this. She had to remember to love Britton like nothing else.

[britton marcus roberts]

Britt chewed on his lip, an old song he used to sing stuck in his head. He'd always wanted someone to sing that to. He had Zoey, and he guessed that's what he'd been looking for. But he didn't want her getting too attached to him. He coughed into his arm, glancing back up at the sky. Maybe it was the cancer drawing him into a depression, he didn't know. All he knew was it felt like everything was crumbling around him. "Ice cream sounds good.." He said quietly.

[zoey ashlyn martyn]

Zoey gazed up at him in admiration. "Let's go get some, then.." She murmured softly, rubbing his back slowly as he coughed again. A normal person coughing wouldn't have worried her as much. He seemed so down lately, and she didn't like it. She stretched up to kiss him. "Smile baby..you're still here.." She offered a weak one of her own, fingers playing over the ring on her finger before she took his hand again and started walking.
