Melissa's POV:

I look around the nursery, seeing the crib, the toys, the little rocking chair.

Justin and I both decorated it a while ago.

I'm now five and a half, almost six months into my pregnancy.

Ever since we found out we were having a girl, I've been going crazy.

I always wanted a girl.

But, there's also been something else on my mind...

After I have the baby, Justin and I will be parents.

I haven't been telling Justin how I feel lately, but I'm scared for the baby.

Once I entered his life, my life has been in danger. With another person doing the same, their life will be in danger, too.

This was my main concern from the beginning, but now my fear has grown worse.

I'm terrified.

I walk into the nursery and go to the window, staring outside it.

It's spring now and there are beautiful flowers all in the backyard and a nice breeze.

It helps me relax.

I hear a little chuckle and turn around, seeing Justin leaning against the edge of the door.

"You just can't stay out of here, can you?"

I giggle at him.

He walks towards me and put one hand on my back, the other on my swollen belly.

He leans over and pecks my lips before turning his full attention to my belly.

"Hey lil angel. How you holding up?"

I stare at him as my huge baby bump has him in a trance, a smile in his face.

"Well, Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see you. You're already loved so much. I can't wait to see you Baby Bella."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Baby Bella?"

He looks up, chuckling.

"Wasn't that one of the names you picked baby?," he asks me.

"Well, yeah. But, I didn't know you liked it."

"I love it," he tells me with a smile.

I begin to rub my hand over my baby bump, smiling at it.

"You like that name? Bella?," I whisper to my swollen belly.

"Bella Patricia Bieber," he finishes.

"Patricia. In honor of your mother. I love it," I tell him with a bright smile.

He looks down and clears his throat before going in his back pocket and reveals a letter. The envelope is ripped, so I know he's read it, but the letter still remains folded inside.

"I found this in the mail," he says, handing it to me.

"What is it?," I ask, grabbing it.

"A letter from Walter Enterprises," he answers.

I raise my eyebrow and take the letter out the envelope.

I read it aloud:

Dear Melissa Bieber,

"Holy shit!," I shout.

"What?," Justin asks, confused.

"I put an application in for them almost three years ago. This is my dream job Justin."

"I've never heard of Walter Enterprises Melissa."

"Walter Enterprises is a big company here in New York. It's responsible for concerts and events that goes on here. They also do tons of fundraisers for charity."

"Um, okay. So, are you thinking about taking the job?"

"Of course," I simply answer.

He sighs and pull me closer to him, placing a sweet kiss on my forehead.

"Baby girl. You don't have to work. I got all the financial business under control."

"Justin, I don't wanna do this for money. I wanna do this for myself. It sounds fun. It's my dream job."

"But, baby-"

"Can we talk about this later?," I ask, changing the subject.

He groans and nods his head.

"Alright princess."

Justin's POV:

"This gang stuff is dangerous Justin. I care about you too much to see your life put in danger."

"I know Mom. I know. But, I have it all under control," I assure her.

"Justin, I'm serious. You need to leave the gang. You're sixteen years old. It's dangerous," my mother stresses.

"But, Mom. I can't. There's no way out now."

"Justin," she groans.

I chuckle at her and come closer, embracing her tight.

"Well, if you're not gonna quit the gang life, then promise me you'll find someone who cares for you as much as I do. Treat her right and be a gentleman. Okay?"

"I promise Mom."

My eyes shoot open as I feel myself gasping for air and beads of sweat run down my face.

"Justin?!"

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Just a little nightmare baby girl."

"You wanna talk about it?," she offers.

I sigh and pull her closer to me, her head resting on my chest.

"Just cuddle with me. Okay?"

I feel her kiss my cheek before she places her head back on my chest.

"Okay."
