Not A Noose This Time

by unscenced

Callum had never heard the news of Sephy's pregnancy, he would never had returned that day, and never have been hanged. What will happen when two years later, when Kamal had given up looking, Callum came home to visit his mother, and found his daughter?

Callum POV

3 years. I had been running for 3 years; running from the force of Kamal Hadley. I didn't even know if he was still looking for Jude, Pete or I, but we had never stopped running from him. We were currently staying in a rundown motel just outside the city.

"Callum!" Jude called my name bringing my focus back. "That was mum on the phone. She said we're safe now. She said that they have given up hope of finding us. I reckon we should pay her a visit, and then find somewhere new to set up our unit. Are you game little brother?" I looked up at Jude, for the first time in many months, his voice actually had feeling.

"Are you sure it's safe?" I asked.

"Callum, forever the pessimist; its mum, of course it's safe, let's go see her before we leave town. She'll want to see us we're all she has left." That was true. Mum had lost all her family to Daggers. Those filthy bastards.

We got into the silky black car that Jude had hired to get us home, with its tinted windows to hide us from view. It was a strange feeling to stretch out on the firm leather back seat as I never previously had owned a car. We arrived at home mid-afternoon and managed to discretely get inside the front door. I was about to call out to mum but Jude silenced me after hearing noise in the kitchen.

"You'll only scare her." Jude claimed. "Let's just go inside and say 'hello', okay?" Both Pete and I nodded in conformation as Jude led us into the kitchen. However mum wasn't the person that met us there. A young cross woman was bending over something that I couldn't see. She whipped around at the sound of Jude's voice.

"Who are you? What the hell are you doing in my house?" She locked eyes with Jude and then shifted to the left to face me. Her eyes showed me that she was scared, that she felt uncomfortable in this situation. And that wasn't all, those eyes I gazed into were very familiar, I had seen them over and over many times before. Sephy.

"You!" Jude spat. "You! What the hell are you doing here?" He said, pure hatred radiating off of his voice. Sephy took a step back her eyes moving back to Jude's. It was only then when I realised what it was she was bending over before. What it was she was trying to protect now. A baby.

Okay I had this lying around on my computer so I figured I'd upload it. Please R&R so I know what you think. I don't know when I will have the chance to update as I have 4 other scheduled stories to maintain but I will try my best. Hope you enjoyed,
