Ok, thank you for the reviews!

We were so rudely interrupted my Alek's phone ringing. "Alek." I nudged him. "Where the hell is your phone? It's ringing."

"Oh, it's on the coffee table…. Shit!" Dessie cried whenever she woke up alone. And, not a second later, we heard her unmistakable cry. We barreled down the stairs, Alek picked up the phone, and I grabbed Dessie, rocking her, letting her cry in to my chest.

Alek's face went from "I just woke up" to "Oh shit" to pure panic. "Wait, Jasmine, calm down! What's wrong?" He listened for a second. "Oh my god." He listened again. "Yes, we will be ready." That made me panic, too.

His face looked pained and worried. "Alek, what's wrong?"

"People are after us. We have to get out of here. Now!" His voice raised, alarming me. I set down Dessie, who was now fast asleep again, and ran up the stairs with Alek to pack our essentials. While Alek grabbed our clothes, I ran to the bathroom, grabbed tampons, deodorant, and toothbrushes. Then got Dessie's clothes.

We ran outside with Dessie and found Jasmine, Jason, and their 4 year old son, Jake, all in a brand new RV. They helped us get our few things in the back, and we loaded up, rolling out of the driveway in a matter of minutes.

"Alek, who is after us?" I asked. He looked at me, but stayed silent. I started to get frustrated. "Alek! Who is after us?" My voice was firm, and demanding. He looked at me again.

"Chloe, you really don't want to know."

"The hell I don't! What is so bad that you can't tell me, Alek?" I was exploding on him. "I thought we told each other everything!" Where was all this anger coming from?

He looked at me, with a hurt expression. "Chloe… I just… Are you okay?" He asked, wrapped him arms around me. I was so moody. I melted in to his hug.

" I don't know! I'm just so… So…" I was searching for the right word when Jasmine interrupted.

"Hormonal?" She asked. "It's not good for the baby if you are stressed, you know." She said, matter-of-factly.

"I'm not pregnant." I said, sadly.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I took the test this morning. It came back negative." Jasmine looked at me funny.

" Oh."

"Alek, who is after us?" He sighed, but answered anyways.

"Chloe, do you remember the two Mai that came from Brazil to meet you?" I nodded.

"She swore we would pay…" I trailed off.

"Exactly. Well, she has a band of Mai and Jackals out for you." I looked at him with an unbelieving look in my eyes. I melted back in to him, and he wrapped his arms around me protectively.

A month later

We were still on the run, but we had told Destiney and Jake that we were going on a road trip. I was making breakfast in the modest kitchen when the egg and bacon smell became completely revolting. I ran to the bathroom and became violently sick. Fortunately, all the adults were out buying supplies and groceries, so no one had to know about it. I told the kids to keep quiet about it, and they pinky swore.

Jasmine came back first with the groceries. I helped her put the food away, and then the socks and underwear that we didn't have enough of. While I was putting the bag of clothes and personal items away, I came across a box of tampons. I looked at it, just looked and stared.

Jasmine came in to help, and found me. " I didn't know what type you wore." She said, looking at me. " Are you okay, Chloe?"

I counted in my head, then shook it no. She looked at me curiously. Then Alek walking in, carrying a bag of tools. "Chloe…?"

"I don't need these, Jasmine." I said, hinting heavily. Neither of them got it.

"Chloe, you can just go around bleeding…" I cut her off.

"I won't be on my period. I am pretty sure I am pregnant." Jasmine looked at me, and Alek smiled. "I am not sure though." I said, looking pointedly at Alek. His face fell a little, but it held more hope than a kid on Christmas morning.

Then Alek spoke up. "I saw a free clinic down the street. We could go down there, and see." I smiled, and ran in to his arms. He scooped me up and brought me in to a deep kiss, until Jasmine coughed, reminding us of her presence.

We ran down to the clinic, and there were hardly any people, so we got in right away, and they quickly took a sample of my blood and urine. We waited for about 15 minutes, before the doctor came throught the doors, clipboard in her hands.

"Mrs. Petrov…
