"Football scholarship?".

"Yeah". I smiled.

"He's good but he's not better thanme". He smirked.

And there it was. The jealousy I was  waiting for. I rolled my eyes as turned  my attention towards the tv. I must  admit he was getting better with the  whole jealousy thing. He would always  be protective of me, but I was used to  that by now.

"I was I got 5 offers". He handed memy plate before sitting down beside me."So, why didn't you go?". I asked.

"The pack".

"But you wanted to go?".

"You're not the only one that wantedto live out the college life, but I had  bigger responsibilities".

"That's sad".

"Nah baby I made peace with it andmoved on". He slipped his arm around  my shoulders."Besides if I went, I would  never have found you".

"We would have met at some point.We're fated to be together remember".

"You're right". He kissed the side ofmy head."Have you talked to your dad  yet about going to see him?"."I was just going to turn up". Ishrugged."But I guess I'll call him  tomorrow and see what he says".

"You really want to do this?".

"Yeah,I want to meet and get toknow my family. Can you believe I have  a whole other family that I've never  met".

"But you'll get to meet them, andthey'll love you just as much as I do".

"What if they don't like me?". I asked.

"That's never going to happen. You'rethe purest most loving person I've ever  met. You're caring and you always put  everyone else before yourself but hey if  they don't like you then fuck them.  You've never needed them before, and  you certainly don't need them now".

"I love you Jake so much and I can'twait until we become a family of 3". I  kissed his cheek before a yawn fell from  my lips. I was wiped.

"We still need to tell my parents".

"I know and we still own them adinner since we missed the last one".

"Already a step ahead of you babe. Ibooked a table for tomorrow night at 7"."Okay". I yawned."We'll tell themtomorrow".

"I think it's bedtime. You can watchyour show in bed".

You're lucky if I lasted five minutes. I  couldn't keep my eyes open.

I woke in the middle of the night with  stomach cramps. I didn't think anything  of it until I went to the bathroom and  found my pyjama bottoms saturated in  blood. My stomach dropped, my breath  catching in the back of my throat.
