Days have gone by since the Noble incident, and visitors come often. It was uncommon for Hadlynn to even remotely think about alone time. It wasn't a sense of people didn't want her to be alone, it was that they all wanted to be there to assist her at all times.

Today, around a week and half after Hadlynn's release from the hospital, was the first time that Hadlynn got to be left alone. She had an ultrasound later in the day, but she had a few hours to kill. Make up was on, hair was done, clothes were on, food was ready to be eaten, and the TV was on. All Jadlynn had to do was eat and watch some TV.

A little knock was heard from the door. Hadlynn sighed deeply. She stood up, walking slowly to the door. What the hell is this? It's my day off from people, for God's sake.

When Hadlynn opened the door, a hand planted over her mouth and pushed her back into her apartment, against the wall. The figure closed the door, locking it. He tried to shush Hadlynn, who was trying to shout. She noticed who the once anonymous figure was Jamie Noble.

"Shut your mouth, Hadlynn," he whispered, putting more force in her mouth. She stopped moving all together, just staring into his demonic eyes. "Good! Now, I'll tell you this now, you ain't going to tell nobody about this or any other meetings. You wouldn't want to get hurt, or the baby hurt. Understand?"

Hadlynn squealed a little bit, then nodded in defeat. There had to be some alternative motive for why Jamie continued to harass her. Nobody just does these types of things because they're bored and need a fix. He had a plan.

"Now, I'm going to get going. I will find out if you tell anybody about this. And, if I do, you're going to regret ever being born. Got that?" Hadlynn nodded, and then Jamie released her mouth. He brushed some hair away from her face, causing her to shutter. He laughed and exited the apartment. Hadlynn just sat on the couch, pondering everything that's happened to her.

"Hey," said Roman's voice through the phone, "I'm here. I'll be up in a minute." Hadlynn was still trying to get ready, contorting in every possible ways to get her shoes on. Finally, she was laying flat on the floor. Staring up at the ceiling, she laughed to herself. Roman walked in and just looked at her.

"This is my life, Roman," she said, staring at the ceiling. She held up her sandals with one hand. Roman laughed, helping her up from the ground. After the pair were up, Roman bent down to put her shoes on for her. "This will not get any easier for me as this pregnancy rolls on, will it."

"Nope. At least you get pizza and naps daily."

"Bro, I work out sometimes. It's usually just a bit of yoga that results in me getting to stressed and eating, but I'm doing it. You watch yourself." There was an copious amount of laughter. The two took the elevator down, hopping into Roman's car.

"Baby is getting there big check up today, huh? And mommy is seeing when the baby is due because you never kept track." Roman said, laughing. Hadlynn knew she was over 8 months but not sure the exact number.

"Yeah, and maybe I'll have a name picked out soon," Hadlynn chimed in. It wasn't that she was waiting to know the gender or anything. Hadlynn was just taking her time to figure it out. Nothing appealed to her.

It wasn't long before they pulled up to her doctor's office, getting quickly. Hadlynn signed in and was immediately taken back to a room with Roman. She hopes onto the table revealing her big tummy from under her shirt.

A young, blonde nurse came in with a smile plastered on her face. She put her charts down on the table by the machines. When she grabbed the gel, she spoke, "This is going to be chilly!"

Hadlynn laughed as it was poured on. The woman began to search for the baby with the ultrasound machine. Within seconds, she found the baby. Hadlynn was holding Roman's hand, and they both began to smile at the screen. The nurse spoke again, "Looks like a healthy little baby. They're a little bit small for 8 and a half months though, but that's okay. Nothing that'll hurt the little one."

"Wow, Hadlynn that's your baby up there. Oh wow, it's, like, really there!" Roman said, staring up at the screen. He looked like a kid in the candy store. His eyes were wide and bright as he watch the monitor. "Maybe I'll just take this little guy for myself when he's born."

"okay, one: we don't know if it is a boy. And two: you got your own kid." The two laughed a little. They were heading out to the car. "I don't know if you've heard, but Shawn decided he wanted somebody else to take on the godfather role. Having said that, I was wondering if you'd want to."

Roman turned, smiling at her as she pulled herself into the car. He nodded at her, pulling her into a hug. "Well, welcome to the immediate family. You are now officially stuck with me, my family, and my unborn child for the rest of your wonderful life."

"I am completely fine with that, Mama Hadlynn. I'll be at every birthday, wedding, graduation, party, weird other family moments that you might have for them. I got your back. And I got their back, too. I'll never let anybody hurt a member of my family. I promise you that forever."
