AN. Hey thanks so much for all the reviews. I hope you like this next chapter. I hate to say this but I'm going camping tomorrow for a few days so I won't be able to update so I hope you like this chapter.

Valkyrie's POV

I see Sanguine plae and I lean closer and whisper concerned, "Who is it?"

He gulps, "Funny-bones." I know immediately who he means.

Skulduggery Pleasant.

"Let me talk to him." I say gently and without hesitation he gives me the phone.

"Hey Skul."

"Oh God Valkyrie," he says, I hear pure relief in his voice. Then he growls, "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

"No I'm fine Skul, I promise, Sanguine isn't the one that took me. Dusk is."

"Dusk? Why? And why are you in Texas then?"

"Dusk kidnapped me, brought me here and tortured me. He told Sanguine were I was and he came and got me. He healed me." Sanguine and I smile at each other.

"Why? Why didn't he just kill you? Not that I want him to or anything."

"It's a long story. Could you maybe be able to come to Texas so we can talk?"

"Why? Why can't you just come home?"

"It's complicated Skul. Please can you come?" he stays quiet for a moment.

"Okay, I can come. I'll be there soon."

"Cool," I smile and then realise something, "wait, how did you know we were in Texas?

"Well at first I didn't but while we were talking I traced the call." I nod.

"Okay so I'll see you later?"

I can hear the smile in his voice, "Yep, see you later Val."

I squeal out of happiness and say, "See you later Skul!" We laugh and hang up.

Sanguine and I hug and kiss.

Sanguine's POV

A few hours later.

Valkyrie and I cuddle on the couch when we hear a knock on the door. Valkyrie looks out the window and starts squealing and jumping up and down, "It's Skul. It's probably best if I answer because if you do he'll probably try to kill you."

I nod, "That's probably best." I cant help but feel jealous at how excited she is to see him.

She goes and opens the door. She jumps up and hugs him. He hugs her back and spins her around. My blood boils. "I'm so happy to see you!" Funny-bones says.

Valkyrie leads him in, he's got that fake face on. He glares at me. He nods at me, "Sanguine."

I nod back, "Funny-bones."

He steps forward and says more gently, "Thank you for saving her. For that I won't kill you."

I nod, "It was no problem at all."

Valkyrie comes and sits beside me and says nervously, "Skul, we have something to tell you."

He just nods and waits for us to tell him. Valkyrie takes my hand and entwines our fingers. "We're together."

Funny-bones folds his hands into tight fists and grinds his teeth together, "I know." He grinds out furious. We look at him shocked.

"What? How do ye know?" I asked shocked.

He sighs and sits down and puts his head in his hands, "I'm a detective, I noticed your feeling towards each other years ago. I certainly wasn't happy about it but I didn't say anything, hoping this wouldn't happen, out of fear you'd take her here, away from me." He says quietly.

Valkyrie goes over and hugs him. He hugs her back.

"We're movin' to Ireland." I say suddenly. They look at me shocked and I pull Valkyrie onto my lap. "Ye both don't wanna be apart and I don't wanna do that to ye lil darling."

She smiles and then frowns, "But wait, what about the charges against you? Won't you be arrested when we get there."

Funny-bones shakes his head, "I could get Ghastly and Erskine to drop the charges. You're their best detective, apart from me of course and their friend. They'll do it if it means keeping you in Ireland."

Valkyrie and I smile widely at each other. "But," Funny-bones adds, "if you hurt her, I'll make sure you rot in a cell the rest of your life." He says to me threateningly. I stare at him straight in the eyes.

"If I hurt her, I'll kill myself if not turn myself in."

We spend the rest of the day havin' fun and watchin' TV.

Valkyrie's POV

The next morning

I wake up and find a note from Sanguine on his pillow. It says, "Gone to the shop to get some things for going to Ireland. Be back soon. Love you, Sanguine."

I smile and that's when I feel like I'm about to get sick. I race to the bathroom and vomit in the toilet.

When I'm done I brush my teeth and check the date. 24th July 2013. My period is late by two weeks.

I start crying. I hear Skul coming down the hall whistling. He sees me and stops and holds me, "Val what's wrong?" he asks urgently . then he growls, "Did he hurt you?"

I shake my head. "Then what is it?" he asks gently.

"I think I'm pregnant." I whisper.

Dun dun dun! Where you expecting that? Please R&R. I hope you liked it. Until next time. J
