Chapter Two

"The games haven't started yet. But they will soon! What the hell does that mean?"

"Sorry Wade. I don't understand?" Quinn answered munching on his toast looking slightly bewildered. "Wade. Wade,"

"What?" Quinn's touch was the only thing that brought her back him.

"Are you alright? You seemed to be in your own little world. What does 'The games haven't started yet' mean?"

"I..I," Wade began. How do I tell him, she wondered. It's better if he doesn't know. "It doesn't matter," she reassured him with a halfhearted smile. "Your gonna be late for work if you don't get going soon,"

"Yeah your right," Quinn kissed her goodbye and headed towards the front door, stopping when Wade called after him

"Quinn don't forget to pick me up this afternoon,"

Wade was dead on her feet and sick of traipsing around baby shops. She knew that she should be excited preparing for the birth, but the last couple of days had been so stressful, she just couldn't get into the right frame of mind to be excited.

She hadn't been sleeping well. She had been having nightmares every night for the past few weeks. Quinn knew that they were distressing her, but he didn't know to what extent. This morning when he woke up alone he hadn't realised that Wade had been downstairs since four-thirty because she was unable to sleep. And now she was having these flashbacks. They had come on all of a sudden and the shifts between now and then were starting to scare her. What was real and what wasn't was something that she was starting to question.

"Ahh Wade you've got to look at this!"

Wade turned to Scarlet to see what she was eyeing, to find her no longer there. Instead Wade saw Christina standing before her and just as pregnant as she was. "Chhriss!"

"Hey Wade. Don't you think the baby would look cute in this," she asked holding up a baby grow she was admiring.

"Yeah.. I suppose so," Wade answered looking around, just to check she was really where she thought she was. Yep still in the shop! So what the hell was Christina doing here?

"I reckon we'll need a few of these. Do you Wade?"

"Baby grows? Yeah. Chris what are you doing here?"

"Shopping silly!" Christina answered still rummaging through baby clothes. "Thought of any names yet?"

"Yeah. Max if it's a boy.."

"And what if it's a girl?"

"Kerry-Anne,"

"Pretty. I haven't thought of any names yet," she looked up at Wade sadly "Don't want to get too attached. I'm surprised you've named the baby. I mean your only getting nine months with the baby before…." Christina fell silent.

"Before what?" Wade asked slightly panicked.

"Before they take it away,"
