Thanks so much for reading this story! But I would like to say that if I don't write for a few days or so I am probably just away from my computer and will continue writing it. Please enjoy!

Chapter 4

The Day her World came crashing down

It was just then the dream disappeared for good, and Emma blacked out.

Claire started wailing so much that the sound of two mouths cries woke the sleeping birds in the trees.

"What's wrong with her Miss Peregrine!" Jake said cradling her in his arms, looking to Miss Peregrine for guidance. The others seemed distraught, and Horace was crying from the nightmare.

"Olive, take the others, comfort them, and Jake will you and Enoch please carry Emma into the woods over there, by the clearing." Jake picked Emma up in his arms, and not needing Enoch's help he carried her gently over to the wood.

Miss Peregrine followed by Enoch and Fiona, rushing to her side.

"Place her here Jacob." He set her down on the patch of moss Miss Peregrine had pointed to. "Fiona grow a canopy above her, we may be here for longer then I would have liked."

The next morning Jake woke up next to Emma, his hands entwined in hers, and Miss Peregrine was mixing leaves a few paces away.

Emma didn't seem to have woken and by the lines on her face and pale skin, it didn't seem like she wold be anytime soon.

"Good, you are awake Jake. Now we must wake her and we need a little chat." Miss P said with emphasis on 'chat'. He looked ashamed, not even knowing what had happened.

"Is Emma alright? Will she get better!? What happened her Miss Peregrine!?" He said standing up and walking over to her.

"All good questions, that I believe you can answer." She said with an angry expression on her face.

"Jake?" Emma said, rising with a groggy voice and barely able to prop herself upright.

"It's Ok Emma, I'm here." He said rushing over to her, and pulling her into his arms.

"Now you are both awake, may I please discuss the situation with you both."

"First I would like to say how irresponsible you both are! After all the warnings! All the stories! And yet you still disobeyed me!" Miss P said, crossing her arms and glaring at them.

"Miss I don't understand-"

"OH MY GOD CHILD ARE YOU STUPID! YOU ARE PREGNANT!"

Silence fell over them, and Emma placed a hand over her abdomen, which already seemed to have swollen over night. Jake was to shocked to comment.

"You and Jake have been so careless! For one, even if we manage to get the thing out of you in time, people will talk! And 1940 IS NOT VERY EXCEPTING OFF THIS KIND OF THING! And further more, THE CREATURE COULD KILL YOU!" She screamed.

"Miss Peregrine! I know you may not like this, but please do not call it a creature!" Emma said horrified by her cruel language.

"NO MISS BLOOM! I WILL CALL IT WHAT IT IS! And if Horace's dream is true, it seems it will live!"

"What dream!"

"The dream he had last night, while you were screaming bloody murder!" Miss Peregrine shouted. "JACOB SAY SOMETHING!"

"I- I-"

"Miss Peregrine I will not get rid of my baby! If the dream is true then it will live, and Jake can look after it! Even if I die I want the baby to live!"

"Oh useless! Emma how can you possibly let yourself die to save the thing! I will kill you! And you would leave it in Jake's care!" Miss P said.

"Hey! I will look after my child if that is what must be done! Of course living without Emma would be torture, but I'm sure we can find a loop hole so she can live through it. But even if she does, pass away, I will have all the others for help!" He said standing up and taking a step forward to Miss Peregrine.

"She is my responsibility Jacob! I will not let one of my wards die when I can stop it!"

"Then stop her from dying! Find a cure! Just don't get rid of the baby, or she may not stay under your care." He said sounding much braver then he felt.

After a while of silence she ushered them out of the tree home Fiona had made and gave her final statement.

"If you wish this, the I will do my best." And she marched over to were the others had spent the night before.

"EMMA!" Claire said running up, about to jump I Emma's arms, but Jacob caught her before she could collide with the delicate Emma.

"Cunis Claire." Fiona said taking her in her arms, talking in the Irish that very few of them could understand.

"Now Emma and Jacob are expecting child." She gave it a moment for the whops and cheers to calm down, and for them to finish congratulating them.

"This is very unplanned, and unexpected, but we must all travel West to Miss Avocet's old loop. There may not be a loop but Miss Avocet does have a house we could borrow, seeing as she cannot stay there. the wrights have already raided it so there shall be not fear of them for a while. It is in the centre of a small town called Arennville, and there are no other peculiars nearby, so best behaviour. We shall make out way to the train station now. And if Emma has a fit again, please let Jacob deal with it and no one is to touch her other then him, me or the older ones."

She began to organise the children into pairs and they began their march to the nearest town. Jake and Emma hung back.

"Did you really mean what you said, about you looking after the baby if I don't make it." She said wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Yes, of course, but you will make it, I promise. And please don't scare me anymore with the shrieking." Jake said wrapping his arms around Emma's shoulders.
