"You're", he stopped.
"And she might be yours", JoJo said.
Liam swallowed and took a step back, suddenly feeling light headed. Dean caught him.
"But, how? I mean", Liam stopped.
"I'll be five months next week", she said.
"And how sure are you that he's the father? For all we know, you could have been messing around with Bray", Dean said.
Liam looked from him to JoJo. She smiled sadly.
"I said he might be", she corrected.
"Around the time Hunter showed his face for the first time", Liam added.
JoJo nodded. His eyes moved from hers to her small belly.
"Did you know then?", he asked.
"No. I mean I wasn't feeling well, and I did take a test, but it was negative. My doctor said it could have been a false negative. Usually happens if you take it too early", she replied.
Liam nodded.
"Also didn't get morning sickness often, so I figured it was just something I ate. My period has never been on schedule. Then everything was going on I forgot to even remember about it.", JoJo said.
"So when did you realize you were?", Liam asked.
"I was almost two months, my brother noticed, I was thinking I was bloated, but then my dad made a joke about me being pregnant and well, I took a test", she said.
"And you weren't going to tell me I had a possible child on the way?", he asked, angry now.
"You were happy Liam, besides that I was starting to doubt if the baby was yours, then I did the calculation and realized she could be yours. Then it just got hard to tell you.", she said.
"It's a girl?", he asked.
She nodded with a small smile. Her dad walked into the room and it disappeared.
"What do you want?", her dad asked him.
"Its about the trial tomorrow, I'm a witness and testifying. They came to escort me", JoJo quickly lied.
Her dad nodded. Liam and Dean were confused.
"So, should we go?", she asked.
"Now? Isn't it too early?", her dad asked.
"The courts like to make sure the witnesses are comfortable before having to take the stand", Dean added.
"They never did that for us", her dad shot back, crossing his arms over his chest.
"She's not a criminal, just a witness. Why make a criminal comfortable?", Liam replied.
"Fine, be back here right after. I have people coming to see the merchandise", her dad said.
She nodded. She knew very well what merchandise her dad was referring too. Liam helped her out and into the car.
"What was that about?", Dean asked, after he got in on his side.
"I told him I didn't plan on keeping her, told him I would drop her off in Ruby with Liam. He laughed and said no, that he could catch a pretty penny for a girl baby.", she replied.
"What?", Liam shouted in the car, making Dean and JoJo jump.
"And before you ask why I didn't leave, he never let me out of his sight. Always had one of my brothers following me, didn't let me use the phone.", JoJo said, wiping the tear that had slipped.
Dean noticed.
"Then I get the notice that I needed to be in Limbo for the trial as a witness. He was going to tell them no, but they left him no options. I'm pretty sure as we speak, one of my brother's is following us", she said.
Liam and Dean checked their mirrors, and Liam nodded.
"Navy Camaro, tinted windows, one car back.", Liam said.
Dean checked his mirror and nodded. Liam pulled a phone out and called in a suspicious vehicle. Giving them the license plate to the Camaro. Before they reached the bridge to Limbo, guards pulled the Camaro over.
"From Limbo we can take the bridge to Ruby", Liam said.
Dean nodded. Liam looked back at JoJo.
"You'll be safe in Ruby", he said.
She nodded, noticing the wedding band.
"You got married?", she asked.
He nodded.
"He's lucky", she mumbled.
"No. I am", he replied.
"Don't sell yourself short. You're a catch too", she said.
Lynn stopped near Leslie and hugged.
"Hey, Mella, Peyton and I are going to do a little retail therapy. Want to go?", Lynn asked.
"Yes, I am so in", Leslie replied.
AJ kissed her cheek.
"I'll see you at home", he said, before leaving her side.
Lynn pointed to her small bump.
"What?", she asked.
"How are you showing and I'm not? I look bloated", Lynn pouted.
Leslie giggled.
"Well, your nephews or nieces need room to grow", Leslie said, walking past them.
"Whoa, wait. You used plural, as in more than one", Peyton said, a smile forming on her face.
"I did, didn't I", Leslie replied.
"Yes, congrats", Carmella said, hugging Leslie.
"AJ was bouncing off the walls with excitement.", Leslie said.
"What about your wedding? Its going to be harder to hide that belly", Lynn said.
"About that", Leslie said, lifting her left hand.
She shrugged.
"Surprise", she said, biting her lip.
Lynn took her hand and looked at the rings.
"Wow, you two really are sisters", Carmella pointed out.
"What?", Leslie asked.
Lynn lifted her right hand. Leslie's jaw dropped open.
"I keep it there so no one will find out, and by no one I mean Hunter", Lynn said.
They hugged.
"Both married and with babies on the way. Who would have thought", Leslie said, giggling.
"So you three aren't allowed to get massages, but I can.", Carmella said, excited.
"I need my nails done", Leslie said, looking at her hands.
"Me too", Lynn replied.
"Baby shopping, I need some ideas. I can also get gender neutral clothes", Peyton said.
"Yes, I never thought about that", Lynn said.
Seth cleared his throat.
"I have to go with you, and Corey", Seth said.
"I mean duh, someone has to carry our shit", Carmella said playfully.
Corey chuckled and shook his head.
"Is it too late to back out?", he asked.
Roman waved Seth over. He excused himself.
"Here, if she wants or needs anything until I get to you", Roman said, handing Seth his black card.
"No limit, sweet", Seth said, taking it.
Roman chuckled.
"Enjoy", he replied, before leaving with Jimmy and Jey.
Once he reached the castle, Dean and Liam met him half way.
"Yes?", Roman said, nervous.
"We need to talk", Liam said.
"Okay, my office", Roman said.
As they walked into the office, Roman noticed JoJo.
"What's going on?", he asked, noticing her belly.
"She's pregnant, with possibly my child. My daughter to be exact", Liam said.
Roman looked at him.
"I wanted to ask if she could stay in Ruby.", Liam said.
He explained to Roman what JoJo told him. JoJo confirmed it all.
"You can stay", he said.
Liam knew Roman wouldn't throw JoJo out, even if the baby wasn't his.
"I'll show you to the guest house", Dean said, placing a gentle hand on her back.
JoJo looked at Roman.
"Thank you", she whispered.
Roman sent a nod and a smile. Once the door closed, he looked at Liam.
"Holy shit, does Seth know yet?", Roman asked.
"I'm afraid to tell him. He's going to be pissed.", Liam said, sitting down.
"He has no right to be. From the story, it sounds like this was before him and after you broke up. Besides, you didn't know she was pregnant.", Roman said.
Liam nodded.
"I guess I should rip the band aid", Liam sighed.
"Or you can tell him in person. I'm meeting them in a few. Just came to change and grab a hat to cover myself", Roman said.
Liam nodded.
"Let me change too", Liam replied.
"Oh and Liam, congrats", Roman said.
Liam smiled.
"Thanks", he replied.
Dean opened the guest house for JoJo. She looked around.
"So, I can have Ember and Naomi bring in some extra clothes for you. Just let me know your size. Bathroom is stocked, kitchen is as well. Just relax and enjoy, no one can get to you here", Dean said.
JoJo nodded.
"Thanks", she replied.
"Do you have names picked out?", Dean asked, pointing to her belly.
"Oh, no. My dad said I shouldn't since I'm giving her up", she replied sadly.
"Are you sure that's what you want to do? I'm sure Liam and Seth will agree to shared custody. Roman will let you stay in Ruby and help you find work. Besides, your baby won't be alone, this castle is due to have a few within the next few months", he said.
She smiled.
"That sounds good, but, I can't stay. I think it would be better for her if I wasn't around. Truthfully, I don't feel a connection.", she said.
Dean nodded.
"Well, if you change your mind, you talk to Roman", Dean said.
She nodded. He left her and made sure Naomi and Ember knew to help JoJo with finding fresh and comfortable clothes.
He went to change out of his uniform. Grabbing his badge and placing it on his hip and his gun in the holster covered by his leather jacket.
Liam did the same. They were still on duty since their King was coming along.
"Well don't you look handsome", Dean smirked.
Liam blushed.
"If I wasn't straight, I'd hit it", Dean nodded.
Liam laughed and shook his head.
"Say that in front of my husband", Liam teased.
"Oh I will", Dean said, Liam believed it.
"Do I need to warn Peyton?", Roman asked.
Dean chuckled. Roman had changed into dark jeans, a burgundy tshirt, and a black leather jacket. Sneakers and a hat he had tucked his hair into.
Dean noticed he had placed his wedding band back on his left finger.
"We ready?", Dean asked.
They nodded.
