Nolan

This is still a work in progress mind you. I just want to know how people like it so far.

Nolan had always loved the peace and quiet, he would always drive out to the beach and climb the lighthouse. The only time he would go would be about an hour or so before dusk when it wasn’t busy and it was empty so he could be alone with his thoughts. Well like normal he thought it would be empty tonight but much to his dismay there was someone there tonight. He noticed that the person was crying and he did not want to interrupt her. He kept to himself and thought about what to do for a good five to ten minutes before he decided to go over to her and offered her a tissue after he heard her praying for God’s help in this time of need. He also told her that he  was there if she needed someone to talk to or just someone to listen to her problems. She introduced herself as Elizabeth and that she just had found out that she was pregnant and no one was there to help her not even the guy who knocked her up. Nolan and Elizabeth kept talking until a little past midnight. Nolan now knew pretty much everything about Elizabeth and how messed up her life was. And Elizabeth knew pretty much everything about Nolan and how amazingly sweet he was for being a stranger. They agreed to meet up with each other at dinner time at the top of the lighthouse. Elizabeth started to drive home and she couldn’t stop thinking about Nolan and Nolan couldn’t stop thinking about Elizabeth. He could not stop thinking about her so much that he ran down the lighthouse stairs and jumped in his car and tried to catch up to Elizabeth and flagged her down by flashing his headlights at her and honking his horn multiple times until she finally pulled over and got out of her car and asked what was wrong with him. He said nothing was wrong with him he just wanted her to come home with him even though they had just met. Elizabeth just smiled and looked down and mumbled just loud enough for Nolan to hear that she said okay she will go home with him, They got back into their cars and Elizabeth followed Nolan to this remote place that only had one house well mansion like with a maid and a butler and things of that nature. Nolan did live there alone though and he told Elizabeth it was because he hadn’t found the right person to spend his life with yet but maybe one day soon. All Elizabeth wanted to do was go on a tour around the house and just go exploring but Nolan said it was late and that she should just sleep and promised her a tour first thing in the morning. Nolan showed her to his bedroom and told her that she could sleep there because it was the most comfortable bed in the whole house. When they made it to Nolan’s room before Elizabeth, she asked Nolan if he could stay with her until she falls asleep. Without any hesitation he nodded and said of course anything to make her feel safe and welcome. Elizabeth laid down and rubbed her belly and looked at Nolan and just smiled and they said their goodnights. Nolan looked at how peaceful Elizabeth was and he had a wild thought until he finally fell asleep himself. It was a little after 8:30 when Nolan woke up and saw that Elizabeth was still sound asleep so he slipped down into the kitchen and made her breakfast she would never be able to forget. He made her homemade biscuits and gravy not knowing that it was her all time favorite thing to eat. Nolan brought up Elizabeth the breakfast and the aroma woke her up all her emotions flooded her thoughts though. As she ate breakfast in between her sobs and her telling Nolan thank you for cooking her breakfast he brought up what he was thinking of last night. He finally worked up the nerve to ask Elizabeth if she wanted to just stay in the house with him and he offered to help with the baby and money situation. With a tear running down her cheek no words were coming out but she just nodded her head yes and finally got the word please out. Just as Elizabeth was done eating she asked Nolan if they could go on the tour that was promised her last night and without a single hesitation Nolan jumped out of the chair and held out his hand to help Elizabeth out of the bed and said to follow him. While Nolan gave the tour around the house, the two of them continued to get to know one another. After the tour was over Nolan asked Eliazabeth if there was anything that he could do for her to make her more comfortable in their house and feel like it was actually like “their” house and not just his. She shrugged and said it would help if she had some clothes that were actually hers and before she even finished her thought Nolan told her to hop on his back for a piggyback. She jumped on eagerly and they descended down the stairs and got into the car and drove downtown. It took them about 20 minutes to get to a parking space in front of a little boutique that had everything Eliazbeth could ever dream of. They were in the store for a good hour or two right before they were going to checkout they were approached by an older couple that just so happened to be Nolan’s parents. Liam and Nancy the two of them looked Nolan and Elizabeth with a very puzzled look. Liam and Nancy walked closer to them and Nancy embraced Nolan in a tight motherly hug  and whispered something in his ear. Nolan jumped back away from her appalled at what his own mother said and turned to Elizabeth and took her hand and said that they had somewhere else to be Elizabeth looked very confused but followed Nolan to the cash registers. She couldn’t take the awkward silence anymore and decided to ask Nolan what his mother had said to make him so upset. He was reluctant to tell Elizabeth at first but finally said that she had told him that he should not be out in public with some trailer trash looking female. Elizabeth looked at Nolan with some big puppy dog sad eyes and apologized for not being good enough for him or his family’s standards. Nolan stopped her right there and reassured her that she was perfect just the way she was for him and could care less what his mother thought or anyone else for that matter. After they were done paying for the clothes Nolan asked Elizabeth if she wanted to go get lunch his treat of course. She let out a little chuckle and said of course that she wanted to get lunch, she was pregnant and is always hungry nowadays. They went to a little place called Tony’s and everyone there knew Nolan and treated him with the utmost respect. After they were done the cook came out to their table and it just so happened to be Tony himself. Nolan made introductions and said that Tony was his little brother. Elizabeth was star struck and apologized for making a horrible impression with their mother because she thought that the boys mom may have texted Tony warning about him about the monstraty that Nolan was dating. Tony had laughed so hard that he let out a snort, and said he never liked his b***h of a mom anyways and that she was a self-entitled self-loathing person. That made Nolan laugh and nod in agreement with his brother, it made Elizabeth feel a little bit better to be honest. Tony asked if there was any type of dessert that Elizabeth would want to eat while they continued to get to know one another better and see if she was good enough for his big brother. She thought about it for five minutes or so and finally asked if Tony had made any apple pie and he laughed at her a little and said that he had just made one and then went on to go and get it; Nolan went with him and told him that he is starting to have feelings for Elizabeth but that there was a catch with her. They went back to the table to find out that Elizabeth had been crying ever since they left the table because the d****e that impregnated her called and said that she was some low life trailer trash that no one would ever want. Tony looked at Nolan and Elizabeth a little confused and asked if he knew that she was pregnant before they got together. Nolan nodded and told Tony that he did and that is one of the reasons why he liked her and wanted to make sure that she was okay. After that was said out loud, Nolan wiped away Elizabeth’s tears and said that he wanted to tell her something and then proceed to tell her that he would like her to be in his life for good and doesn’t want her to go anywhere. As soon as all that was said and done Elizabeth stopped sobbing and her face lit up like the Fourth of July and embraced Nolan in the tightest hug that should could ever give. After lunch Nolan and Elizabeth said goodbye to Tony and told him that they would see him in a few days. Nolan then asked Elizabeth if she had seen a doctor yet for the baby and she nodded no she only found out that she was pregnant was because of her hospital visit. The hospital visit that came after her fall down some stairs in which led to a sprained ankle. Nolan then decided right then and there they had to go to the doctors right away. Luckily for the two of them, Nolan knew of the best OBGYN’s in town that dealt with single moms who like to be discreet. The two of them went there and Nolan then told the doctor; Connie that Elizabeth had not yet seen an actual baby doctor and would like to be seen if possible. Elizabeth did pull Connie aside and told her that there was no way that she could possibly be seen since she had no money of her own. Connie let out a chuckle under her breath and sneerly that she had no idea who she was did she. Elizabeth just shook her head no and said she didn’t sadly, and Connie then said that she was Tony’s wife. That being said Elizabeth went to the back room where the ultrasounds took place and changed into the gown that was on the chair and waited for Connie to come in and get started. Connie then knocked on the door and entered the room and asked if Elizabeth is she was ready to get started and she nodded yes, even though secretly she was incredibly nervous. Elizabeth was so nervous that she almost started crying then remember that she was no longer alone and that she could do anything if she puts her mind to it. Connie then told Elizabeth that everything was looking great and that she was just under seven weeks. Elizabeth then let out a huge sigh of relief and got dressed and followed Connie into her office to finish up some paperwork that needed to be filled out. Elizabeth asked if Nolan could come in with them to listen to what was needed to be talked about and Connie said she didn’t mind if Elizabeth was comfortable with it. The three of them talked about what they wanted to do with the news, Elizabeth looked at Nolan then Connie then back and Nolan and said that she wants to keep the baby and give it the best life she could give him or her. Connie smiled and then proceed to type something on the computer and then printed a prescription for prenatal vitamins for Elizabeth and then they scheduled an appointment for the following month. Nolan told Elizabeth that they could pick up the vitamins on the way home and left Connie’s office and thanked her for everything and went home. Elizabeth was so confused why Nolan was doing all this for her and she asked him why he was and he told her it was simply because he liked her but would give her a better more detailed answer that night at the lighthouse for dinner .  When they finally got back to the house Elizabeth picked out the perfect outfit and showered and got ready to go to dinner with Nolan at the lighthouse where they had a lovely dinner and talked for a good three hours before returning home. After all was said and done they went back to the house for the night, and Elizabeth was in the absolute greatest of moods because Nolan had asked her to live with him forever and be with him in the house and get to know each other better. Elizabeth was so happy that she was dancing and singing around the house and thinking that her and her baby were actually wanted by someone and that made her feel loved. Nolan stared at Elizabeth with love in his eyes and asked if he could dance with her as he reached for her hand. Elizabeth told Nolan of course and grabbed his hand as they danced around the kitchen. She then proceed to tell Nolan how excited she was about to be next month since that is when they find out the sex of the baby and another month of them falling in love with one another and starting their lives together. In between now and then Elizabeth and Nolan had Tony and Connie over multiple times for dinner and movie nights they all grew real close and Elizabeth finally started to feel like she was actually belonging to a family. She had never felt this close to anyone in her life not even her best friend who died two years ago because a drunk driver ran her off the road. One night while Elizabeth and Nolan were taking a nice relaxing bubble bath Nolan told her that he had to go to San Diego for a week to try and sell some wine to a fancy vineyard that he was trying to invest in. Which Elizabeth finally found out how he was so rich and what he did for a living. Nolan asked her if she wanted to come with him on a little trip away from the house for a little bit, but she declined and said that she would rather stay home and look at wedding stuff and hang out with Connie and take it easy. Nolan said that probably was smart because it wasn’t like she could enjoy drinking the wine that he was trying to sell anyway and they could always go on a trip another time together. It was only a few days that Nolan had left but Elizabeth had a feeling that something was wrong with her or the baby so she called Connie in a worried manner. Connie scheduled an emergency appointment for the very next day. Connie called Nolan as soon as the two of them got off the phone and she sounded very worried and started to scare Nolan. Elizabeth was so nervous with what Connie had said that she had to run some tests and see if everything was okay. The next morning Elizabeth had woken up in a puddle of blood praying to God that she had cut herself last night and didn’t remember it or something other than what she was thinking. She jumped up looking all over her body to find out that it was coming from the one place that she really didn’t want it coming from. Her pajamas were covered in blood as she ran to the bathroom with tears pouring from her eyes. She started a shower to clean herself up and hopefully stop the bleeding for a little bit. When she got out of the shower she got dressed but instead of going to go see Connie like she had planned, she went to the lighthouse which was the only place that she felt safe at this point.
