My mind reading friend and I were quiet on the way back the room I shared with Jasper. I wanted to say something to fill the awkward silence and yet I couldn't seem to come up with something to talk about which was stupid since I knew I could talk to him about anything and yet I knew without a doubt the copper haired vampire would find a way to turn the conversation to me and my pregnancy just like he always did. Do not get me wrong because it is nice that everyone cares and get they are worried about me, but they don't understand and they never could.

They weren't the ones pregnant. They did not have to deal with the fact that most likely my baby was going to die. I knew the humans would never let me keep my child. The baby would be experimented on or killed and I would have to watch. I had nightmares about it all the time and the only reason I didn't tell Jasper was because I did not wish to cause him any more worry. The scarred leech knew me well enough to know something was off, but he never pressured me in to talking about it deciding it would better to wait until I wanted to open up. If he knew the truth of what I was doing to myself then he would be furious.

Since I wasn't sure I would be able to protect my child I had decided to try and not love or care for it. It was a stupid and useless plan since I had already started to care for my baby, but I had to try. I wasn't sure I would be able to survive the loss if I let myself feel for it. I really wanted to believe I was doing the right thing, but a part of me really hoped that whatever plan Jasper had would work. I wanted my baby to have a happy life and this trying not to care for it was a lot harder with every passing day. Right now I could pass the baby off as like not really being alive, though I knew that when I started to show and actually feel the creature inside of me that this not caring thing would fly out the window. The baby was a part of Jasper and so of course I would love it. Both baby and daddy seemed to have that effect on me.

"Hey scar face look we have company." I called out pushing the door to our room open. I loved our room since it was so much bigger than the cage had been. My lover told me that it reminded him of the first real apartment he had when human. Since I had never had a place of my own besides a room and the tiny cottage Felix let me stay in (I didn't really consider to be mine since it was on Felix's property) I liked to pretend that our room was an apartment. It helped me escape for a little while.

My boyfriend who had obviously been lost in thought looked up as soon as we entered and for a moment I saw something flash in his eyes, but it had gone by too fast for me to identify what the emotion had been. Standing up he came over to us and offered his hand to Edward. As time passed for us I realized he had started to act more human than animal as he had when first arriving in this place. He still had his moments of course, but he was doing much better at hiding the vampire side of his personality and I had to wonder if he did it because of the baby. Maybe he did not want to be a bad influence and if that was the case I found it absolutely adorable; annoying yes, but adorable none the less.

He smiled easily when the other vampire shook his hand. His other hand stretched out to touch my stomach softly for a moment, though he quickly pulled it away. We were very careful when it came to affection towards our unborn child since we had no idea if we were being watched. We knew we were not being recorded sound wise because both Jasper had did not hear the sound of a mechanic recording device and we would due to our great feeling, but the same did not go for a video came which only recorded pictures and made less noise. "Edward, you are right on time."

The mind reader nodded as he made his way deeper in to the room. I could see him looking around not wanting to meet my eye because he knew if he did he would crack and tell me everything. It was a well-known fact that Edward could not lie to save his own ass. "I would have been here sooner, but your girlfriend felt the need to point out our stupidity."

My honey blond lover smile before turn slightly to kiss me softly on the cheek his cold lips sending a pleasurable chill down my spine just as they did every single time they touched any part of my body. "She tends to do that."

"Hey I am standing right here!" I snapped not liking it when they acted as if I were no longer in the room.

"You won't be in the room for long." He said while gently setting the palm of his left hand against my back and pushing me towards the door. "Edward and I have some things we need to discuss and you promised Rosalie you would see her tonight before the fight. You go and do the girly chat thing and I will see you in a bit. Be careful to not stress yourself out and if you get tired come and lay down alright?"

With a roll of my eyes I pulled the door open wide. "Yes, I'll lie down if I feel tired. I do remember how to take care of myself and for the record you are my boyfriend and not my father."

It has been hours since Edward and I talked after I sent Leah off to spend some time with Rosalie. The female vampire knew she had to keep Leah distracted and I was thankfully for her help. My stubborn girlfriend would have only complicated things by going off in a tangent about danger and being reckless. It was so much easier to plan when she was distracted by something else. Of course she had come back hoping we would still be planning, but luckily we had finished just when she arrived and the rest of the time had been simply catching up until it was time for Edward to leave and find a seat in the audience. The fights had started a while ago and as usual Leah and I would be last to fight raising anticipation and keeping viewers interested. The humans wanted to make sure they had a reason to stay even if they got tired. The she-wolf and I provided that considering we were a fan favorite.

"You ready to fight for our lives?" The love of my un-life asked as she bent down to touch her toes. We were next to fight since the next was the last of the night and so we were waiting by the arena doors. We were not being guarded which was another perk to being a fan favorite.

I narrowed my eyes and hissed. If she was trying to joke then it was not a funny one. I did not find the thought of Leah or our child possibly fighting off death to be humorous one little bit. "That isn't funny Leah."

"Calm down Jasper you know I was only playing." She sighed and took my hand running her thumb soothingly over my pale knuckles. "You can't go out there so fucking tense. They will sense it in a second and use it against you."

"I cannot help it." I replied with a shrug of my shoulders. Usually the female shifters presence alone would be enough to calm me and yet it had no effect in this moment. I had a hunch it had something to do with the talk I had with Edward and not just anticipation for the upcoming fight. "I am always tense when your life is in danger."

"I am going to be fine just like I always am." She said leaning up to press her lips against mine in a sweet close lipped kiss. Her dark hair tickled my chin, but I didn't mind as I wound my fingers in her dark locks hoping to deepen the kiss, but never got the chance since she pulled back a little with a smile on her face that sent my un-beating heart fluttering as if it were a set of butterfly wings. "What can I do to get you to relax? Would a quickie help any?"

I smirked and set my hands on her hips pulling her flush against my stone body. The idea of a quickly with Leah brightened my mood immensely even though I would prefer to take my mind, but something was better than nothing at all. "You know it just might."

"Who knew I loved a pervert?" The words were murmured as her lips brushed against my teasingly and at the exact moment she started to deep the kisses a bell want off signaling the end of the previous fight. My girly wolf groaned and pulled her lips away from mine. "It looks like we were interrupted by the bell. You know I am never going to understand the saying saved by the bell since in my opinion it only ever brings trouble. It's so apparent that whoever came up with the saying did not live this kind of lifestyle."

My head bobbed as I nodded in agreement. "I have to side with you on that darlin' the bell is never a good thing when it comes to you and I unless it is going off to show our success. Promise me that you won't tag yourself in unless I signal for you to do so. We are facing a newborn and a shifter so it shouldn't be something to worry about. I have killed more newborns than I would like to remember and the shifter shouldn't be too hard to deal with once I immobilize him with fear."

"Look at my man putting the fear of God in to his opponents." She teased with a grin and sparkle in her dark eyes. "I am so proud of you."

"Well then you will have to show me how proud you are later." My words were laced with promise and I saw her eyes darken with lust. I did not even have to use my power on her.

That was the thing with Leah and I. It was almost as if we were connected in some way and on the same wavelength. She knew exactly what I meant and I did the same with her. I knew what she was thinking and even without my power I could read her moods easily enough. We were so in tune with each other it was not funny. She was an extension of me and I'd go to hell and back to protect her even if she decided to fight me tooth and nail.

"I love you Jasper Whitlock and this is going to be just like any other match so stop worrying your sparkly little head over it." She whispered softly and I wanted to believe her.

Hopefully this would our last fight before I got her out anyways. The escape would be more dangerous than any fight we had been involved in so far, but it was worth it. When it came down to it the risk was worth the reward. Once we were free I would marry my girl and we could be a family. I would not let anything stand in our way and I'd kill every last human if I had to in order to achieve this.

AN: So I hope that you all liked this chapter because I woke up in pain and decided to write something. I need to know if you would like to see the fight or skip straight ahead to the actually escape part. Either way it will work, but I want your opinion so let me know in a review and thank you to everyone who has watched my video blog and been so supportive and also a huge thanks to everyone for understanding that sometimes I am just too sick to post.
