Doctor Willson s as such, she just hasn't been kicking the way you're used to TheI know this has frightened you, but I proh she'll be kicking away in there and driving you nuts”

That h

I stroke my belly tenderly “She could never drive me nuts” I smile at Jett, his hand on my face draws my eyes to his We're okay, Jessica is okay I can breathe deeply and relax now

However, soive up so easily This time, he won't walk away froure out if I want to see hiain

“I'm fine, Draven,” I'o hoot home, and I soon fell asleep However, I woke soon after screaht at her, shaking her, her eyes ith fear I was hiding behind the door, looking in through the gap He yelled so that I couldn't make out, and then she fell to the floor Dead

I've never had such a dreahtened me so much I had a panic attack Jett caluish in his eyes, and the fact I couldn't tell hi hurt him

He heldme feel safe That's when I babbled like an idiot abouta bad man, a bad man who hurt me I don't even knohat I meant by that, so I couldn't very well tell Jett when he asked

I don't even re inside ofterrible Not necessarily to me, but he definitely did to my mother I don't understand what he did, but that dream was so vivid in places I don't know if it was real or not

Jett heldand no one could hurt me, that he'll protect me It cal bad happen to me It was just a silly dreaain after all this time

I made Jett promise not to tell Draven or Hammer what I'd said about the dream and my father It was all ina mountain out of a molehill He promised he wouldn't, but toldto see how I', that he'd want to knohat my father said to me in the hospital, which I didn't understand because no doubt Hammer had already told him

Draven had returned home after I'd been released from the hospital, but he hadn't been to see me because Jett had told him that I'd fallen asleep and he didn't want to disturbabout what happened with my dad, our dad, and what happens next Jett wouldn't tellabout it, and I didn't push for answers either

I was only showered and dressed five minutes before Draven arrived The second I saw him, I burst into tears and ran into his arms He's always been there for htly for an age it seems

“I've been so worried about you” I don't say anything, just snuggle into his big, powerful chest, with o yet “You sure everything's all right with the baby?”

“She's fine,” Jett answers “The doctor said she was just lazy, but all this stress isn't good for Maria”

“Well, then, it's up to us to make sure she isn't under any ,but think about that da frightening

What if my father really did kill my mom?

My beautiful mother

My heart breaks thinking about it However, it would make a lot of sense as to why Joseph was thrown out of the family, but it doesn't make any sense as to why he was allowed to live The family wouldn't have let him live if he'd killed my mother like that

The reports said she died of a heart attack, but what if that wasn't true after all?

Either way, I know deep down that er have a mother, and I hate him for it!

Iday because of Joseph She's not here sharing ive birth to randchild and kiss her little head

My baby girl will never know the beautiful persona lullaby to her as she rocks her to sleep and tells her how much she is loved

“It's okay, Maria” My brother soothes with a kiss to my head

“I miss her,” I whisper

“I miss her too” Just like always, Draven see of “She'll always be with you, Maria She'll always be looking out for you and Jessica She'll be with you when that little girl enters the world, and she'll be there planting a kiss on your head, telling you just how proud she is of you and how much she loves you”
