CHAPTER 17 - J U L I A N

*************

So why is the Center in Ireland? I thought we would be save her! I said running up and down the room.

You don't want to name him Frederick – don't you? I asked me.

Why not? I ask him, stopping at the window, watching him smiling at me.

It's a horrible name Mary. You don't to hear somebody call him "Freddie" all the time, like Freddie Krüger, don't you?

I giggled. I never imagined that my Jarod would watch movies like this. I mean he was free now, yeah but movies like Freddie Krüger? Stay cool Mary, let him tell you what he wants, how he wants to name the baby.

No I don't want this baby to be called Freddie by anybody. I sat down next to him. Jarod was laying in our bed, the baby on my side.

Look at him Mary, look how cute he is and these incredible blue eyes ... he looks like you Mary, like you.

No not like me. He's not like me Jarod, never could be. I touched his soft skin beneath the bandage. How are you feeling? I asked him, placing a kiss on the part where my hand rested before.

I am always fine when you are around.

Jarod, be honest.

I want this baby to have a wonderful name, something new – to let us start a new life with this boy.

We have already started a new life. He hand rested on my belly. You know that, don't you? I started my new life with you on the day I called you to help me. You were the only one who would be there for me, the only one I could think of in this situation.

C'mere and kiss me May. I felt his hand on my neck, pulling me down, kissing me hard and passionate.

When the baby started to whimper, we broke up.

We should get used to the fact that we'll not have a lot of free time, time for us alone during the next 20 years. He said and smiled at me.

I think I could handle this as long as you are there when I go to bed and still there when I wake up in the morning, when I can rest my head on your muscular male chest and my legs between yours, when you kiss me in the morning, join me in the shower ....

Stop that Mary, we have a baby next to us .... not in front of the baby honey. We both had to giggle.

So now tell me Jarod, why is the Center here?

They aren't only here ... they are just a step behind us, they've been that all the time.

What do you mean?

What are you talking about Jarod, only a step behind us?

The day we went to Dublin, Lyle, Mr. Parker and Raines arrived in Canada. Well I left them a small "present" but believe me Parker ... if we ... well we were close to ...

Why haven't you told me? I ask him, letting my fingers run over his cheek.

I don't want you to get nervous or anxious, it's not good for the kids.

Okay .... why are they in Ireland ... I mean the baby ...

He has the Pretender gene too.

How?

What is he again talking about?

He isn't your father's child.

Nothing new ... my father and kids, well ...

And?

Syd things that he is ours.

What? I looked at him, staring in those dark eyes. I have been there at his birth and I am sure that I wasn't the one who had given birth.

Sure you weren't – but have you never thought why Brigitte got pregnant? I mean she know about her illness, don't she?

Yeah ... think so. My hand on his, both still on my belly. But why is Sydney thinking that the baby would be mine and yours? I mean, how?

Have a look at your belly and you know how they are working. Maybe he was only the first attempt to create their own perfect Pretender. He would never had seen the sunlight if there wouldn't have been Syd and Broots helping me with this escape.

But how did you ... ?

I wasn't involved in the plan firstly. It was Broots and Debbie who got him out of the Center one night, the only thing is that Broots never brought him back.

Shit ... is Broots still ... ?

Mary - Broots is fine and he wanted you to raise him. He went with Debbie to Australia to start a new life there too.

I smiled at him. This was right, he also had the right to live. Debbie, if I could ever see her again? He was always loyal to me and Debbie was a lovely girl. The couple of night I was allowed to baby sit her were fun, for me and her.

That's good. I took the crying baby on my arm and whipped it slowly. You know Mary, this is your life, the way it should be! I heard my mum telling me.

So how want should he be named? Does he still has a name? He asked me, his dark eyes stripping my blouse off.

No Jarod, he has no name – I think he never got a birth certificate. Well he has to get one before we leave Dublin ... I murmured.

He will Mary and he also will get baptized before we leave. Say me where you want it should be and I will get all the papers we need.

No .... you will rest and I will go downstairs with the baby.

Name?

What? I asked him, the baby staring at me, the fingers in the fabric of my blouse.

Give him a name ... I can't stand it always talking about "the baby". He giggled and grabbed my tight.

Julian I run my fingers over the baby's head. I want to name him Julian Sydney.

Julian Sydney! Sounds like a Don Juan

Hey Jarod ... he's just a baby. I said sarcastically. I will go downstairs and leave you here. Do me a favor and rest a bit, you will need your strength.

Why can't you stay here with me, lay next to me and just be there. He said softly.

Because you wouldn't relax when I am around ... I know that.

His fingers ran up and down my tight and he aroused me more than ever. The baby on my arm, another 3 in me and the most wonderful man next to me –what could I want more? I wanted more, just sitting here in a hotel room wasn't enough – I wanted a house and my own space, not waiting for somebody to run up and down the floor outside. I want to run naked from the bathroom to the bedroom and from the kitchen to the living room if I want to.

And I want to have sex, yes I want to have sex all night long if possible and not just in my thoughts like at the moment – fantasize about having Jarod inside me, touching my breasts like the baby was doing now. He grabbed me hard, tickled me nipples. Holy shit, I am getting wet only thinking about it ... and ... my nipples ...the baby.

I am going now Jarod. I will be back soon because I am sure that he needs some sleep too.

Sure? Well at the moment he seems to be busy with your tits.

Jarod ... I laughed out loud.

I know that it's my fault because I am not busy with them.

Stop that now or you have to take me right here.

Okay run away Parker ... like every time I tease you ... every time I want you to get hot and do what you are dreaming of ...

What do you mean ... me getting hot Jarod? I teased him with my fingers over his chest.

You are waiting for me to make the first step, but it's not me who has to be ... you are pregnant, the rape isn't long ago and I want you to fix the night where you want to have sex again. Believe me last night was a torture for me.

Was it? I asked him, standing up. I came really good for not having sex, only petting ... I think I never came the way I did yesterday.

Good to hear. He said softly.

Okay ... take a nap – I will be next to you when you wake up.

And Julian? he asked me, staring at me.

Oh Julian .... we are out of order at the moment so he will be next to me, between us.

Don't let him fall in the gap between us.

I will not, be sure ... I kissed him on his forehead and left the room.



*******

I was sitting in the kitchen next to Nanna who was grinning at the baby in my arm.

You look like your mother on the photo. She stood up and headed to a small cupboard next to the basin. I knew that I have it here. She said and came back with a black/white photograph of my mum and me. I wasn't older than Frederick ... Julian.

You are so beautiful Mary, like your mother was. I never understood why she married Mr. Parker and not your father.

So who is my father. You know it ... don't you?

This is one of the secrets you have to solve on your own. She let her fingers softly touch the baby's left cheek. The time will run and you'll have to take care of three more. It will not be easy for you, but Mary, you have to leave me now. You aren't save here anymore.

I know Nanna ... I started to cry, shaking softly. Don't cry with me Julian. I told the baby who was staring at me with these incredible eyes, like mine when I was younger and happier, before my mum died. I just met you a couple of days ago and now I have to leave you ... I sobbed.

Don't cry baby, don't cry – we'll meet again I swear. It's just for the next couple of weeks. You have to hide and Jarod has found a nice house in the very north of Ireland.

In the very north? That's miles away from you Nanna. I never have had a granny and now my boy is losing his great granny before he had the possibility to get in touch with her.

Great granny? she asked me

Do you know Sydney? ... well he thinks that the baby is mine and Jarod's ... that he was created by the Center like the ones who are in me now.

Created ... let me hold my first born great grand son.

I never thought about having a granny Nanna, it feels so good to me, to have somebody to talk to ... it's feeling like mum would be around ... you are so much like she was.

Sounds like you remember her very well .... it's a faith.

I do ... I handed her Julian over and he slowly started to cry, just softly whimpers. ... and how is it feeling?

It feels right – your mother would say that.

She would.

I imagined my mum would be here with us – 4 generations would sit around the table than. Thanks mum for sending me Nanna and thank you for phoning Jarod in the hardest situation in my lifetime. What would have happened if I would have called Mr. Parker or Lyle? I wouldn't be alive anymore or arrested in a dark cage in a sublevel just to bear their new Pretender.

Where is the house? I asked.

It's in the very north of the country, near the English boarder. He told me that it's situated outside Donegal Town, somewhere between Letterkenny and Donegal Town.

How is this area?

Oh honey it's the most beautiful area I have ever seen, you can't compare it to the states because it's perfect. It only has soft hills, everything is green and in summer you have flowers everywhere. It's raining a lot from November till April but I think you will get used to it soon. The house is big, he told me, about 3 floors .... everything you need.

Sounds like we'll become a real family.

"You" will get your first real family.

I will ... I murmured. My first ....

You can be happy to have Jarod next to you – he's wonderful and loves you with all his heart.

I know ... the same with me.

Hope so ... she said sarcastically.

Come let's make a little shopping trip. You'll need a couple of things for him and your new life. Letterkenny is the highest populated town in this area but pretty small at all – and soon you'll not be able to leave the house very often. You'll need to rest a lot and relax.

I will, be sure. I said, sounding like a baby because she babied me. I was an adult woman, who knows about rights and wrongs.

Okay let's go Nanna, I can't wait ... I haven't made a real shopping tour in years. I said smiling at her happily.
