MINE

Chapter 32: Baby On Board...

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.
