Noah's POV:

I woke up this morning and went straight down to Maeve knowing she will have a bad back from sleeping on the sofa, as I made my way downstairs Hailey was walking with me "How was Maeve last night?" Hailey asked hoping she was ok, "She wouldn't sleep in bed and is sleeping on the sofa" i said pointing to Maeve who was fast asleep on the sofa.

"We can't leave her like that as everyone will be up and about in a second, can you take her to Jeremiah's room?" Hailey asked me, "She said to me she doesn't want to sleep in their alone" I said "Okay if it's okay with you put her in your room" Hailey said to which I nodded to carefully picking Maeve up as I noticed she was cold, so I wrapped her in a blanket as I carried her upstairs.

"Jeremiah?" Maeve started speaking in her sleep "Don't go" she said as I could see tears falling from her eyes as I placed her on my bed. "Maeve it's okay it's me" I said as she opened her eyes, "Where's Jeremiah?" She asked, "He's not here at the moment" I said trying to get her to lay down, "Go back to sleep" I said as I left her in my room.

I went back downstairs to see Colton, Louis, Parker, Lucas and Grayson stood round the kitchen. "I just don't understand why Jeremiah left" Parker said sadly as I approached, "What did he say to you when he spoke with you" I said to Colton.

"He said he needed time and would come back in a week or 2 but I spoke with him this morning and he said he'll been home in 2 days" Colton said to which i nodded to. "She won't sleep upstairs in her and Jeremiah's bed, she slept on the sofa last night and I only just got her to sleep in my bed" I said sadly.

"I'll sleep downstairs for the next few days so she has my bed" I said "I'm sure Hailey will stay with her at night in bed if that's ok with you in your bed so Kenzie stays in our room" Grayson said to me which I nodded to.

Just after Rachel, Camila and Hailey came downstairs with bowls of popcorn and other food. "What are you doing?" Wesley asked "We went to see if Maeve wanted company but she wants to be alone" Camila said, "Don't take it personal she's...upset" I said as the girls looked upset.

"Why the hell did Jeremiah leave!?" Hailey shouted all of a sudden, "He left her and his unborn child while he went off probably fucking any woman he finds!" Hailey shouted as we all turned to see Maeve stood behind her, "Wait Maeve I wasn't serious" Hailey said as Maeve walked to get s glass of water, "It's okay, your right" Maeve said while walking over to the glass cabinet.

As she reached for the glass she bent down in pain and started falling luckily Colton caught her, "Maeve!?" Louis and Parker shouted as she started shouting in pain, "What's wrong?" Colton tried to ask her as he held her while I came over. Hailey and Camila called the nurses from the hospital side of the house to come over while I bent down holding Maeve as she cried a little.

"Maeve what's wrong?" I asked her as she laid against Colton. "I'm going to call Jeremiah" Louis said as he quickly walked away. "No not Jeremiah" Maeve said trying to form a sentence. "Maeve it's going to be fine" I said as the nurses came over and took her away.

After a while we found our she was okay it was just a cramp and the baby was fine but they did say she was exhausted and needs to rest.

Maeve's POV:

I woke up with a strong headache as looked around to see an empty room, until the doctors came in "Maeve how are you feeling?" A woman asked "I feel okay except I have a headache" I said as the woman nodded, "Is the baby okay?" I asked nervous of what they would say, "Don't worry everything is fine but you do need to rest" the guy said.

After the doctors left the person I least expected to see walked in, Jeremiah. "Get out" I said the second I saw him, "Maeve" he said sitting next to me, "I was only away for the safety of you and our baby" he said. "What a lie, you left because you don't want to be with me or my baby" I said angrily.

"I had to tell the Russian mafia that we were getting married and that you were pregnant" he said "So you left me to tell them that" I said holding back the tears, "No I-" he started but I interrupted him "Actually I don't want to know, if you think I'm with you when we get back staying your wrong" I said.

"What? Where will you go?" He asked sounding concerned, "Anywhere away from you" I said looking away from him. All of a sudden I felt his hand on my stomach, "Maeve you and this baby are all that I have, all that really matters to me" he said as tears built up in his eyes but he swallowed them back, "Im not changing my mind Jeremiah, I spoke with Olivia and I'm moving in with her when we get back from holiday" I said as Jeremiah's head lowered.

"What about everyone else they'll want to see you" Jeremiah said as a tear slipped from his eye, "I'll make it work" I said as I wiped the tear away from his cheek. "Don't do this" he pleaded as I looked away not wanting to cry at the look of him. "I'm sorry" I said as I tried to compose myself "I'm not changing my mind" I said as he got up sadly and walked away wiping his face before he left.

As he left I felt the tears build up as I let a few drop, it's the right decision isn't it? The baby will be safer if it's away from the mafia.

Jeremiah's POV:

As I left the room I went straight to my office where I pulled out a bottle of alcohol knowing it's not the smartest idea but I did it anyway.

After I'd nearly finished the bottle my office door opened to reveal Colton and Grayson. "Get out" I slurred drunkly as they entered "Are you seriously drunk right now" Grayson said "Your not going to make much of a father like this" Colton said as I walked over and punched his jaw from the comment he made as Grayson tried to pull me off of him as Noah, Louis and Lucas walked through.

"Jeremiah stop" I heard instantly making me stop as I turned to see Maeve stood in the doorway with tears in her eyes, "Why are you doing this?" She said sounding a bit angry "I'm doing this for you! It's always been for you, everything I do is for you and the baby!" I said walking towards however all of a sudden I collapsed.

Maeve's POV:

Jeremiah collapsed into my arms as I caught him however Noah and Lucas took the weight of Jeremiah off me, "Will you take him to our bedroom?" I asked Noah to which he nodded and him and Lucas carried him out.

I signed in frustration as they left to see Colton standing with blood round his mouth. "Come on i'll clean you up" I said to Colton as he followed me to the kitchen, we sat in silence for a while before he spoke. "I'm sorry Maeve" he said, "It's not your fault" I said cleaning the cut on his cheekbone, "Aren't you going to stay at the house when we get back" Colton said, "I'm moving in with Olivia when we get back" I said holding back the tears, "What about the baby?" He said sounding concerned. "You'll all still see the baby" I said.

"Doesn't Jeremiah deserve to see the baby?" He asked, "He will just not all the time" I said, "I don't think Jeremiah wants sometimes I think he wants to be able to see the baby always" Colton said "It's not safe for the baby" I said thinking back to the house we live in. "We'll make it safe, doesn't Jeremiah deserve a chance to prove to you" Colton said which made sense, "I'll think about it" I said finishing off wiping his cheek.

"Thank you" Colton said as he got up and left for the office. "Maeve?" I heard Noah ask as I turned to face him, "Yes?" I said clearing the tears from my eyes, "Jeremiah's saying he wants to see you" Noah said as I nodded and went up to the bedroom we used to sleep in together.

As I entered I saw Jeremiah laying in bed awake, "Maeve?" Jeremiah asked as I walked over to him as sat on the bed next to where he lay, "I'm sorry" he said as I saw his eyes water, "It's okay, you need to sleep" I said as I went to get up but Jeremiah held my wrist gently, "Wait, sleep with me, please" Jeremiah asked as I sat back on the bed.

"Will you sleep then?" I asked as he nodded, so I got into bed beside him keeping a distance until he came over and held me while rubbing my stomach. "I love you" Jeremiah said like a repeat of the other time, I just pretended I was asleep as he continued rubbing my stomach until it slowed down and eventually stopped when he fell asleep.

The next morning

I woke to see Jeremiah fast asleep still holding me closely. Then I remembered about the scan I had booked for today, I don't plan on inviting anyone not because I don't want anyone there but I just think it will better for now if I go alone.

I checked the clock to see it was 8am and my appointment was booked at 10am so I got up and dressed then looked back into the bedroom to see Jeremiah still asleep as I kissed his forehead. Before heading downstairs and made breakfast as everyone started coming down stairs.

After breakfast I grabbed my bag and headed to Jeremiah's car, I could have had my scan in the hospital in the house but everyone would end up coming otherwise so I just booked it at the hospital.

—

Once I got inside I walked through checking the time to see I was on time, as I entered the room the the scan, halfway through a woman entered saying someone had come along late for the scan which confused me until I saw Jeremiah walk in. "What are you doing here?" I asked trying not to be to loud because of the lady beside me.

"Coming to the scan" he said sitting down on the chair as the lady put the gel on my stomach. "Why did you come here alone, you didn't even invite Hailey" he said wondering why I came by myself, "I was going to ask you but you left me" I said ignoring the tears swelling in my eyes as he gulped before the lady started showing us the baby on the screen, it looked like a blob because the baby was so small but it still made my eyes water at the sight as Jeremiah held my hand which I didn't pull away from.

After the scan we got into the car I drove here and Jeremiah drove (he got driven here by one of the drivers). "I wish you invited me to go with you" Jeremiah said as we drove away from the hospital. "Jeremiah what do you expect me to do!? You were gone!' I shouted angrily. Jeremiah just stayed quiet as I looked at the print the woman had given me.

"Are you really going to move out when we get back?" Jeremiah said, "I'm not sure" I said looking out the window, "if it was my choice yes I would have left ages ago but for the baby it's different" I said facing Jeremiah. "Stay" Jeremiah said to which I stayed silent on.

When we arrived at the house everyone asked where we were and I wasn't sure whether to tell them or not about the scan, "Where were you guys?" Hailey asked as us and everyone went outside by the pool, as I pulled out the print from the scan of the baby. "Aww that's where you were" Hailey said hugging me and then Jeremiah as everyone else did as well.

After showing everyone some went in the pool while I sat on a chair next to Jeremiah, "Do you think we'll make good parents?" I asked Jeremiah breaking the silence to which he faced me, "Yes i think we'll make great parents" he said as he lent over as rubbed my stomach which was pretty cute as there was a tiny bump now on my stomach.

"I love you" Jeremiah said which for the first time was sober, I looked towards him while he kept a hand on my stomach, "I-I love you too" I said stuttering a bit as the words felt foreign on my lips as Jeremiah smiled brightly and placed a kiss on my lips.

"Come sit over here" Jeremiah pointed to the sunbed as I climbed in between his legs and sat down as he kept a hold on my stomach while kissed my head.

"You guys can be adorable sometimes" I heard Lucia say as everyone from the pool turned to see us, "But only sometimes" She finished her sentence as we all chuckled while I saw Rachel smile in aw.

At dinner we all sat outside as the sun set, half way through dinner I got up quickly running to the bathroom as everyone went silent and Jeremiah followed me.

Once reaching the nearest bathroom I threw up, "Are you okay?" Jeremiah asked as he held my hair and rubbed my back, "Yea but I think the baby doesn't like carrots" I said laughing a little as Jeremiah chucked.

Once I finished in the bathroom we went back outside to where everyone was sat talking amongst themselves, "Are you alright?" Camila asked as I sat beside her, "Yes I just didn't feel well" I said as I continued with my dinner.

After dinner everyone went inside as Jeremiah pulled me to talk, "Your not wearing your ring" Jeremiah said but it sounded more like a question, "I haven't worn it since you left" I said, "Don't you want to wear it?" He asked confused, "Don't worry I'll put it on now" I chuckled as we went back in the house and I went up to our bedroom and put the ring on making my way down stairs to show Jeremiah the ring.

"Happy?" I chuckled "Ecstatic" he replied kissing me on the lips.
