247–Just Being Friendly
Madeline:
Baxter practically carried her bags outside and pushed her into the car that had arrived to pick her up along with her luggage. He said goodbye to her, and she left.
I had expected her to create a lot of drama, but she did not. She just left quietly.
“Thank you,” I said, but before I could say anything else, Baxter walked past me and into the room.
“Madeline.”
Before I could follow him, I heard Bonnie step out of her room.
“Oh, Bonnie,” I said, approaching her to help. She was pregnant and was almost rushing toward me.
“Who was it?” she asked. “I saw a woman here last night. And this morning, your husband was yelling at her. I don’t want to interfere, but wasn’t she the same woman who was crying at him during the wedding?”
She trailed off, waiting for me to finish the thought.
“Yeah. She’s the woman I thought was my stepsister, and his ex–fiancée,” I replied.
Bonnie nodded. “Well, I didn’t like her. I’m really glad she’s gone.”
Her comment made me narrow my eyes at her before I laughed.
“No, seriously. Some people just bring bad energy,” she added.
“Anyway, are you guys checking out today?” she asked, pouting slightly, looking sad.
“Yeah, but we’ll stay in contact,” I said.
She gave a small laugh that made it clear she did not fully believe that.
“Anyway, I must not bother you two. You will have a lot of things to plan ahead before you leave, right?” she remarked to me with a mild smile on her lips, then I noticed how her smile began to wither.
“Are you okay?” I asked her, reaching over as she placed her hand on her belly and then looked up at me. The fear in her eyes even scared me.

“Are you okay?” I asked again as panic settled in me, my voice sounded much more worried.
“Ah!” she screamed, slightly hunching over and squeezing her eyes shut.
Worry hit me as I started to look around.
“Is anybody here? She needs help!” I shouted loudly.
Panic rose in me as I wrapped my arm around her, helping her move toward my room instead.
Hers was pretty far away, so I had to quickly bring her into mine.
“I do not know. This pain, this is not supposed to happen,” she cried out, screaming and sobbing, and honestly, I felt like I was the only one who could help her in that moment.
Thankfully, Baxter showed up. He had been in the bathroom getting ready for the day when he stepped out and
saw us.

I had already made her sit down on the couch.
“What’s going on?” Baxter asked in confusion.
“She needs help. We need to take her to the hospital,” I told Baxter, locking eyes with him.
“There is no hospital for the rogues,” Baxter replied.
As soon as Baxter said that, Bonnie’s hand tightened around mine, showing that she was scared.
“I have a few visit passes. If you take me to the hospital, I will give them the code, and they will let me in,” she explained, making it clear that while we were stripped of every luxury, she had still been given a pass because she was pregnant.
Thankfully, there was a pass. Otherwise, I was worried for her. For a pregnant woman with no help, that could be very dangerous.
“I will get your husband and your brother–in–law,” Baxter told her.
As soon as Baxter said that, she shook her head and waved her hand at him.
