I own nothing apart from Lorelai and the plot

Chapter Fourteen

Lorelai P.O.V

I sighed and closed the front door as Paul pulled out of the driveway. H e was going crazy with stress; he didn't want to leave me and his mother alone, worried that someone from the pack will come over. It took a lot to convince him that we'll be fine and he left for work reluctantly. The only reason he did leave was because he knew that Lee would be arriving in a couple of hours.

I had my own worries; I was still nervous at being around Paul's mother despite her warm welcome. What if she didn't like me doing things around the house? What If I said something to upset her? Paul knew I was worried and had chuckled when I voiced my concerns to him.

"Lorelai?" Paul's mother called.

I hesitantly went out to her, "Yes?" I asked, trying to hide my nerves.

She smiled kindly at me, "I'm just going out to the store; did you need anything?"

"No, I'm fine thank you. Did you need some help?" I asked wincing as the baby kicked hitting my ribs.

"I think you should stay here and get some rest." She said, looking at me concerned, "All this stress lately can't be good for you."

I didn't try and argue, giving her a tired smile and wobbling back to Paul's room. The baby had been more than active over the past few days and I was beginning to wonder whether the baby would be premature. Just as I was about to sit down and have a nap a loud knock echoed throughout the house. I grumbled and hurried to the door expecting Lee to be on the other side. I froze in surprise when it wasn't Lee, eyeing the giant men in front f me wearily; I didn't need to ask who these men were here to see.

"Can I help you?" I asked as politely as I could manage.

The man in front all but ignored me, "Where's Paul?" He growled, his dark eyes glaring down at me.

"He's at work." I managed to get out, taking a deep breath as the baby kicked again.

The man narrowed his eyes and pushed past me, "Hey!" I shouted angrily, about to follow him when someone grabbed my arm roughly and dragged me into the kitchen. "Get the hell out." I demanded, wrenching my arm from the guy's grip.

The man glared down at me, "Where is Paul?" He repeated.

"What are you – thick or something? Paul's at work." I snapped, ready to slap him. "Now get the hell out."

"We're not going anywhere until Paul's here." The man snarled. "So either you get him here or you come with us."

I threw my hands up in the air exasperatedly, "I can't ring him; he's at work!" I all but shouted, gasping when the baby kicked again. "Look, can you please just go?"

"Not until we have seen Paul." He repeated his tone less hostile as he looked at me almost concerned.

I squeezed my eyes shut and took a shaky breath. I ignored the complaints from the men as I waddled over to a seat and flopped down on it. For the first time in months I felt nauseous; I was beginning to freak out. I began to wonder if there was something was wrong with the baby and I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that I needed Paul here with me.

"I need to go." I breathed, feeling dazed as I stood and tried to make my way to the front door.

"You're not going anywhere." The man snapped, grabbing my arm and yanking me back into the kitchen.

Without thinking I struggled against him, banging my hand against him repeatedly until I could feel the pain creeping up my wrist. All I knew was that I needed to get to the hospital. "Let me go." I said weakly, "I need to get to the hospital." I struggled against him.

"Sam, maybe you should let her go." One of the guys suggested looking at me concerned.

The man, Sam, ignored them, "She's not going anywhere."

"Hey, fur ball." All heads turned as Lee's voice floated through the house. I looked at him relieved, "Go chase a cat up a tree." Lee said coolly, taking my hand and guiding me away from the men.

"I need to get to the hospital. Something's wrong Lee." I whimpered.

Lee didn't say anything, eyeing the men around us and led me out of the door. I didn't notice them following us out the door, simply relieved to see the car in front of us. I didn't ask how Lee had gotten a car, all I could think about was getting to the hospital and finding out that everything was okay with my baby.

Lee sped out of the driveway, looking in the review mirror now and then and cursing under his breath, "What's wrong?" I asked feeling more panicked than I should be.

"They're following us." Lee sighed and looked over at me, "Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

I shook my head and rubbed a hand over my tummy, "I don't know what's wrong. It feels like what contractions should be."

"We're almost there. Paul gave me directions the other day in case you needed to go to the hospital during the day." He told me.

When he pulled up into the hospital car park two other cars parked next to us. The pack got out and Sam was storming after us as we made our way into the reception area. The reception lady looked up and her smile froze on her face as she stared at the crowd behind me.

"Can I help you?" She asked politely, her eyes flickering over the pack behind us.

"I need to see a doctor. My husband Paul works here." I said immediately.

She didn't hesitate as she called up to the maternity ward, "The maternity ward is on the second floor. When you get out of the elevator turn right and head to the reception area there."

Lee didn't follow me as I began to walk and he nodded to the pack behind him, "They're not with us; is there some way you can ensure that they don't follow us?" He asked politely, smiling charmingly.

Sam glared at him, "We need to see Doctor Paul." He said with a sneer.

The reception lady glared at Sam, "Security will be here if you don't leave."

Sam glared at us before turning and walking out the door. I sighed with relief and thanked the lady; that was one thing I didn't want to deal with. When we got to the maternity ward I looked around anxiously for Paul, sighing with relief when I found him. He rushed up to my looking concerned.

"What happened?" He asked immediately.

"I don't know what's wrong." I whimpered, "I had a lot of back pains and I just figured it was stress but then the baby started kicking hard and..." I rambled, bursting into tears when I couldn't continue.

Paul pulled me into his arms, rubbing a soothingly hand down my back, "Shh, it's going to be fine." He murmured, "They've got your room set up and the doctor's going to be here in a second.

I nodded my head and sniffed. I allowed a nurse to lead me into my room, well aware that Paul wanted to talk to Lee about what happened. All I cared about in this moment was our baby.

Paul P.O.V

I watched as one of the nurses helped Lorry into her room and I ran a hand through my hair anxiously; I was trying my hardest to remain calm for Lorry but with the way things were going she may need to have an induced labour. I turned to Lee, smiling thankfully at him.

"Do you know what happened?" I asked, knowing that something must have happened to cause Lorry that much stress that she had to come into the hospital.

"When I got there your old friends were inside. I heard them demanding Lorry to call you despite her continually telling them that you were at work. I got her out of there as soon as I got there." Lee told me, "They followed us here but the receptionist told them to leave or she'll call security. I don't know how long they'll stay away for." He warned me.

I sighed, rubbing a hand across my jaw, "Thanks for the warning. And thanks for getting Lorry out of there."

I gave him a tired smile and went into Lorry's room to find her pacing up and down breathing heavily, "Lorry, you need to calm down." I told her immediately, placing my hands on her shoulders to stop her movements.

She rested her head against my chest, still breathing heavily, "I can't stop worrying about the baby. What if something's wrong? What if I've done something wrong?" She cried.

I wrapped my arms around her, rubbing a soothing hand down her back, "You have done nothing wrong Lorry. We're going to have the ultrasound and talk about what's going on with the Doctor." I said calmly while inside I was reeling; what if something was wrong with the baby?

A/N thanks for all the reviews. This story will come to an end soon but I don't know how long. Read and review!
