I Seriously Love you guys so this one is for all for you, your opinion really helped me get ready for the rest of the story so start getting excited! Chapter 21:

FABIAN'S POV:

'What was that about?' I asked Nina, who stood beside me still looking at the place the ghost just disappeared from.

'I...I'm so confused.'

I turned to look at her and her movement was the same, looking my way. She began to stutter before shrugging and continuing to look at the same spot she had before.

'What do you think the ghost meant by an alliance?' She asked me.

I had been wondering the same, I didn't understand why our friends would be interacting with ghost's to take on Rufus, and it didn't make sense. But it had been a while since I had an update on the current situation. I then laughed as I recalled Nina's exact question.

'You don't know what an alliance is?' I replied with a half smile on my face, which she returned with a hard glare.

'No...Of course I know what an alliance is, but why would Mick, Amber and that form an alliance with a group of ghosts?' I didn't know how to answer that because truthfully I was as confused as Nina, whom was still looking at me expecting a reply.

'I don't know, but something tells me we are soon to find out.' And with one last shrug the conversation was dismissed but I knew very well was going to continue shortly after.

I looked at Nina slowly and then her continuously growing stomach. I still couldn't wrap my head around that my child was there, and in less than a month-she'll be in my arms. Jacklin Amber Rutter, Nina and Fabian Rutter's gorgeous daughter. I was going to be a Dad!

As I fell deeper into my daydream of the future of my little girl my phone woke me with a start. I looked over to Nina, she was motioning me to answer it and that I did.

'Hello?' I said through the phone, expecting Mick, Amber or Alfie to reply but was surprised to hear my Father answer on the other line.

'Hello son.' His deep husky voice replied.

'Dad? Why are you phoning, I haven't spoken to you in years.' I said and Nina looked at me surprised for a second. We both knew that my Father-son relationship with my Dad was far from brutal since my parents divorced three years ago. Communication was limited and it was so sad he didn't even know of the proposal, or Nina's pregnancy.

'Yes, well your Mother called me earlier today and told me of my new grandchild.' I closed my eyes as I heard that, truthfully my Dad was not grandpa material.

'Yeah Nina's over eight months pregnant.' I said to him while looking at Nina.

'Don't you think you should be married before you have kids?' Dad asked as a joke, but I found it far from funny.

'We're engaged, but have decided to call off the wedding until Jacklin's birth.' I said just wishing for this conversation to end.

'Jacklin, not exactly a name I'd pick.' He told me and I shook my head in frustration. He really knew how to get on my nerves, even if he never realises it.

'It was Nina's mother's name. 'I answered severely.

'Uh...still not a name I would have picked, how about Bethany, Addison of Riley?'

'Dad, her name is Jacklin Amber Rutter and if you don't shut up this instant you will never get to meet her.' I screamed harshly into the phone. My blood was bubbling with anger.

'Sorry son, I didn't mean to get you angry- it was just an opinion but please allow me to see her and come to your wedding. I haven't seen you in so long.' He answered before hanging up.

'Honey, are you okay?' Nina asked sympathetically, she knew my Dad fairly well and was well experienced at getting frustrated at my Dad.

'Yeah, he was going on about not liking the name Jacklin and about having kids before marriage, he just really got to me.' I admitted and she looked hurt that my Dad did not agree with the name choice of Jacklin-after her mother.

'Hey, who cares if he doesn't like it Nine's-we do and that is all that counts.' I told her rubbing her back soothingly.

'I know but it doesn't excuse the fact it hurt, I'm tired so I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Hopefully we won't have any more ghost visitors for a while.' She said before cuddling down on the white hospital bed, and falling asleep.

PATRICIA'S POV:

'Sooo it is settled then, you send four ghosts's to find where the book is and look for any signs of danger, right?' I asked, I noticed Jerome's arm was spread around my shoulders and smiled. It had been a while since he showed any romantic signs. Too long if I could point out.

'Yes Miss, that is correct.' One of the ghosts' answered.

'So what do we do?' Amber asked while playing with a blonde lock of hair.

'There is no use for you until the four return with information on the book's whereabouts. That is when you will be needed Ms. Millington.' The robed ghost replied.

'Is it okay if we have a look around the house, it is creepy in a kind of curious way?' I asked and the ghosts nodded before disappearing to proceed with the plan.

'Not a bad idea babe.' Jerome whispered in my ear and began to peck kisses along my neck.

'Um excuse you, but if you could take your love fest into a place we can't see it that would be great because Jerome naked isn't exactly something I ever want to see.' Mick said and the others except Jerome and I chuckled at his remark.

'Are you sure about that Mickey Mouse, because I heard you're on the turn.' Jerome retorted before pulling me into the hallway to begin our tour of the haunted mansion. (Quite literally)

'No I believe you're the one on the turn Jerome seeming you are implying that you wouldn't mind Mick seeing you stripped.' Alfie joked.

'You know you guys are still as immature as you were four years ago throwing your annual food fight.' I told the boys and Amber got caught in a fit of girlish giggles.

'It has been to long since we had some fun messing with each other. It seems Rufus really did screw up our lives for a while, and I want to be myself again.' Mick admitted and we all nodded in agreement.

'But you guys do know this is only a one day break from all the torment, tomorrow all the hurt, confusion and pain we have been feeling for the past eight months or so will be back and probably hit us harder than ever.' I explained.

'Way to kill the mood Trixie.' Jerome joked but understood what I was saying.

'Only being realistic.' I said and then realised what Jerome had called me. 'You just called me Trixie, as much as I hated that name-I've missed it.'

'Me too, and I missed you being my wife.' Jerome said before pulling me into a kiss.

Alfie coughed for our attention to stop. 'We are still in the room you know.' He then added and even though we only had a day or so of being normal, I wanted to enjoy every minute of it.

AN: What did you think, it was kind of a normal chapter for once and it appears Fabian really dislikes his Dad at the moment but that will come up later in the story. Can you help me get to 120, but if not 116 is the amount I need for next chapter.
