Wanda's POV (still)

That night I lay on the mattress with Ian's arms around me protectively. I stared up at the sky that had stars sprinkling over its dark depths. I snuggled further into Ian's chest breathing in his scent. I moved my arms to my stomach. Some child was in there. I sighed. The child would have to live in these caves until they died. This would be there home. Although I knew these caves, these people weren't bad but entirely good I couldn't help but wish they would have a normal life without having to hide. Hid who they are, hide our secrets. I just wanted them to be a normal child. The child in Mel's memories, the child that went to the playground, played skipping in the school playground, the child who would bring worms into the house while I stood in the kitchen making Mac and cheese. The child that always had a smile on there face. I let my eyes close on my last thoughts of cautiousness and fell asleep.

When I woke I saw that Ian had loosened his grip on me and now sprawled out across the bed. I muffled my laugh. I leaned over him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. His eyes fluttered open. His blue eyes cast shivers through me. He pulled me onto him and I wriggled.

"Hey." I laughed. He dotted kisses down my neck and I stopped wriggling. He chuckled then heaved himself up.

"Now, now the baby doesn't want to hear that." He grinned. I giggled. Then he took my tiny hand into his and we walked down the passageways to the Kitchen. I saw Mel wave at us and we went to join her, Jamie and Jared.

"Hi." Mel greeted.

"So…" Jared shuffled on his seat.

"You're having a baby. Ian told me yesterday." Jamie started bouncing in his seat.

"Yeah Mel told me." Jared muttered.

"So does everyone know?" I asked.

"Probably. I told everyone I saw on the way here." Mel laughed.

"Surprise, surprise." I joined in her laughing.

"So where's Emma?" Mel bit her lip to stop her laughs.

"News in the caves sure does travel fast when you live in the caves." Jamie sighed.

"Yep." I smiled.

"Congratulations." Doc said from behind me. I turned to face him.

"Thank you Doc." I beamed happily. The rest of breakfast was spent with people coming up me and saying 'I'm happy for you' or 'That's great news' and me saying in return 'Thank you.' I nibbled on half an apple the other half eaten by Ian. I felt sick.

"Morning sickness." Mel commented. I nodded unhappily.

"I've heard the good news congratulations." I heard a voice say behind me. My eyes bulged in shock. That voice was Sharon's. Her and her mother were more civil to me but I could never imagine them actually saying congratulations. I turned around.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Wanda could I took to you for a second?" She asked tapping her foot.

"Sure." I shrugged. She led me over to where her mother was eating.

"We'd like to say sorry for the way we have behaved..." Sharon trailed off.

"You brought back Mel and we'd like to say thank you. You've helped us all out and we've acted in hostile so we are truly sorry. And Sharon would like to ask..." Her mother continued where Sharon left off.

"Would you mind teaching the children about your species. Your stories you've told us and everything." Sharon looked down and found sudden interest in the floor.

"That would be great. My pleasure. And there's no need to apoligize it would have been weird for the enemy to turn up." I laughed.

"Yes to start with but after we realized you were helping us it should of stopped." Maggie half- smiled.

"Don't worry." I answered. I felt Sharon's arms wrap around me in a 'let's stop the fighting' way. I was shocked that she'd hugged me. It was weird.

"Bye then." She waved and I went back to Ian and the others.

"Woah did I just see Sharon hug you." Ian chuckled.

"You did indeed." And with that I told them of our convasation.

So sorry it was so short. There is going to be more interesting stuff happening throughout the chapters don't worry.
