Rose jerked up and gaped at him. "What are you doing here?"

Rose chuckled softly at his first words. Well, that was actually true. "I love you too, you know that," she gazed at their intertwined hands, gently stroking her thumb over the back of his hand. "But you need to stay away from here."
Phoenix stopped her thumb. "Why? You keep saying that. Why do I need to stay away?" he asked her softly.
Rose let out a soft sigh and met his gaze. "Because you were right. I am trouble. I only bring trouble. I don't bring happiness, I bring hate and..." she trailed off softly, biting her lip. "I don't want anybody to get hurt because of me. You need to stay away from me," she said softly, looking at their hands.
"No, you don't. No one hates you, Rose. If anyone is hated it's me, by Callum." Phoenix tried to assure her and pulled her into his lap.
"That's not what I meant," she sighed out, shaking her head at him. She gently pushed him away and trailed her fingers through his hair. "Callum will hurt you," she breathed out, grasping his shirt lightly. "I can't let that happen."
Phoenix's eyes narrowed. "Callum can't hurt me. I don't think he'd want to try." he shook his head. "Things wouldn't go well for him if I was dead." Phoenix wrapped his arms around her. Not allowing her to escape.
Rose bit her lip hard, feeling tears bite at her eyes. "But..." she began softly. "I can't let anything happen to you, or the baby. No, I can't take that risk," she breathed out. She felt like she was on the verge of breaking down. "I am trouble," she felt tears slipping from her eyes. "You saying that hurt more than anything, but it's the truth, and I just don't want to affect you."
"Rose, I didn't mean it. And its not true. At home I can protect us all. Here, I can't. What if something were to happen to you? I would never know. I don't want that." Phoenix thumbed away the tears, a small frown on his face.
"But I can't take that risk!" she shook her head wildly at him, more tears leaving her eyes. "I can't risk hurting you, or the baby, or Ari," she breathed out. "Even if that means, that I need to stay here."
Phoenix gave her a dubious look. "He wouldn't hurt you? He tried cutting open your side or have you forgotten?"
Phoenix slowly slipped out from under Rose as the castle began to wake up. He brushed his lips against her cheek.
