Joanne's POV

By the time my eyes had fluttered open and reality had become real; I was shaking with silent tears pouring down my cheeks. That's one dream that no person deserves to see, but I couldn't help but feel as though it wasn't just a dream. But in fact it was more of a premonition. Maybe a warning. Was that what was going to happen if we didn't fulfil the task that will allow me my family? I hope it wasn't, but that little voice in my mind kept telling that it was. That if I didn't murder an innocent soul, then I will lose the innocent soul that is growing inside me.

Once I felt as though I wasn't going to collapse down crying if I attempted to walk, I got out of bed and made my way out of the bedroom and towards the living room where I hope I could find Lewis. I noticed that he was gone when I woke, and I really needed him right now. I needed someone to tell me everything was going to be okay. I don't usually go to find comfort; I'm usually much stronger than this. But when you have just had a dream about losing your child, you need the comforting words of those closest to you. And if I was to be honest, Lewis was the closest thing I have.

I silently walked along the hallway and when I approached the living room I heard hushed voices talking. Stopping in my tracks, I move to the side so I wasn't in view of whoever was talking in the living room.

"Look, this situation is too complicated for Jo to handle. She's pregnant for Christ's sake! I don't think she could manage the stress this is bringing on her" I recognised that voice instantly. Its silky smoothness, that usually sounded so calm but right now sounded agitated. I have never heard Lewis like this. He's usually so calm and hands on, but right then he sounded annoyed, agitated and even a little scared. Scared for me.

"I'm afraid there isn't much I can do, but I am willing to do anything necessary to help with the situation" David. Lewis was talking David. To say that at first they didn't get on, but now they were talking to each other. And it was civilised! I stayed hidden and silent as I listened in on their little discussion which was revolved around me. I wonder if Lewis had told him about my weird dream that was also a premonition thing. It was all very confusing to me and I was in the hopes that Lewis knew how to decode all this and come up with a conclusion.

"Lewis I suggest you stop talking now if you wish to keep this a secret" David warns him and I should have known that he could sense me. Bloody Djinn know everything.

"What do you mea- Oh. Jo…" Lewis half calls half scolds. I move into the room, revealing myself to them and Lewis' hard look suddenly softens when he gets a better look at me.

"Jo?" he asks softly and for answer I just walk over to his now standing form and embrace him in a hug. He has such a unique smell that it always calms me. I wonder why he has this effect on me.

"What's happened? Please tell me" he begs as he smooth's my hair back from my face so he can look into my eyes.

I take a quick glance at David and decide that if I don't tell him, no doubt Lewis will. I tell Lewis to sit back down because even I know that he needs to be sat down for what I'm about to tell him. This just makes everything so much more complicated, why am I always in the middle of every problem and complication? It's just not fair.
