ALL RIGHTS GO TO RACHEL CAINE!

Chapter fourteen

Lewis' POV

They all whispered between each other and when I looked over at Jo she had gone pale and looked really uncomfortable in here. I was about to ask her if she was okay, when Bad Bob spoke up on behalf of the leaders.

"We've had a brief discussion and we will allow the child to be born, but do be warned that if this child has any form of power we will be running tests. The last thing we need is a child with both your two's potential running through it" he states and we both nod as we stand up. We were about to walk out when I thought of a question and turned back round to them.

"Will Jo be able to get maternity leave later on?" I ask and Marion nods before motioning for us to leave.

When the door was closed I turned to look at Jo; she was that pale that it worried me.

"Jo, are you okay?" I ask and she suddenly breaks out of her daze as she looks at me.

"Yeah" she replies simply before taking off a head of me. I quickly catch up to her because I was not letting her out of my sight, even I could tell that she was lying to me. Just as we got to the exit I grabbed her hand and spun her so she was looking at me.

"Jo, you can tell me. Something's bothering you and don't try and lie to me because I can see it" I tell her and she just rolls her eyes as she pulls her hand out of mine.

"I'm fine" she says firmly before leaving ahead of me.

I don't like her hiding stuff from me, especially if it bothers her or has anything to do with the baby. They're my life and I can't lose them, I need them but she's so oblivious of it that it makes my heart ache. I want her to open up to me, I want her to know that I will always be there for her to both talk to and rely on. I want to be her knight in shining armour; I want to be the one who makes her feel safe and happy. But she won't even talk to me about it; maybe she just doesn't want me to know anything about it. But I can see how much it bothers her and I won't give up until she tells me.

Joanne's POV

Lewis was still giving me those concerned and determined looks all the way home and it was really starting to annoy me. I wanted to tell him about it so much, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I don't know why but I just didn't feel as if I should bring him into this, I didn't want him worrying because no matter what he will never lose his child. I won't let it happen; I would rather die than let this baby die. I've had a good run of life so far, and now it's this child's turn to learn the wonders of the universe. At least I will die knowing that I've brought another life into this world, and that's like the best thing you could ever ask for. Despite it still growing inside me, I love it. I love my baby and I will always love him or her forever, even when I'm dead and gone.

We walk into the flat and I walk towards the bathroom, a nice bubble bath usually helps to clear my mind and relax me. And right now that's exactly what I needed. I needed to relax and forget about everything, just for a little while. But before I could enter Lewis spoke up.

"Jo, I'm always going to be here; I'll always listen to you. You just need to trust me and open up" he tells me and I take a deep breath before nodding and heading in. He was right; I did need to open up to him. But I just couldn't do it; I can't let him know what's happening. He'll try risking his own life just to save me and I don't want that. As long as he's alive and so is our child, I'll die happy.
