2 weeks later

After the incident the boys and Lucia have all been busy locked away at the warehouse training and preparing for another attack, which meant that me, Hailey, Camila, Rachel and Olivia spent the days either watching movies of sitting out by the pool, although at some point I think we all got a little bored of each other's company as it's everyday this same pattern repeats so we just do whatever but spend most of it by ourselves which seems lonely but right now I don't have the energy most the time.

Wesley and Camila broke up after Camila had suspicions of Wesley cheating although she never confronted him so he has no real idea why they broke up but he's just about making it through the days while Camila coops up in her room and watches every sad movie with a break up at the end or death. I hope they get back together and that Wesley wasn't cheating but truthfully it isn't any of my business.

On the other hand though, Colton told Jeremiah about Will and like I predicted he was completely fine with it and I even heard Colton asked Will out last week although I haven't seen them so I don't know if it's true, they all have the same routine, all the boys wake up around 4am and are out the house by half four meaning we're all still asleep, then stay out the whole day and don't come back till all of us have gone to bed, I have tried to wait up for Jeremiah but I always end up falling asleep and then a few hours later feel the bed sink beside me and that's all that reassures me that he's okay, from the fact that he's in bed with me.

I don't like how things are at the moment but I understand the reasons to why they are all out training all day but I do wish that they could have just one day off as when I spoke to Rachel she said the same things been happening to her in which she hasn't actually seen Lucas in the weeks they've been busy however because Grayson and Hailey have Kenzie Grayson does come home earlier to spend time with them although it's not much as he's only about 1 hour earlier than the others.

After long thought while laying awake in bed, I turned over to check the time to see it was 12:01am which meant that in half and hour or so they boys should be home and I'm hoping this time to actually speak with Jeremiah to make sure everything's okay.

Turning away from the clock I slowly got up and threw a long cardigan around me as it was cold during this time and decided to wait downstairs as I knew I would fall asleep in bed. As I went into the kitchen I saw a dark figure which I made out to be Camila as she grabbed a drink from the fridge.

"Hey" I said sitting down on a stool opposite her, "Hey" she said but didn't turn to face me, knowing she was still upset about the situation with Wesley, "You might not want to hear this right now but don't you think you should speak to Wesley to get a full understanding into if he was cheating or not, I mean he doesn't even know why you guys broke up" I said facing her as she turned to me. "Your right...I don't want to hear that right now" she replied coldly, "Wes-" "Maeve stop, I know that your trying to bring us back together but it's not going to happen" Camila said before taking her drink with her and leaving the kitchen as i slouched down in my arms out of tiredness.

Around 10 minutes later I decided to sit in the living room so I could hear him when they enter, I laid down on the couch and began to read a book until I fell asleep with was unintentional.

30 minutes later

"She's asleep on the couch" I heard a distant voice say as I woke from my slumber, I opened my eyes to see Parker, Noah and Louis stood in front of me. "Finally!" I shouted before quickly giving them all hugs, "What was that for?" Louis chuckled, "I haven't seen you all in ages" I replied, "Jeremiah's kept us busy ever since he found out-" Parker was cut off when Noah raised his hand over his mouth to silence him which did, "Found what out?" I asked, "Nothing, you should ask him yourself" Louis cut in, "I intend to, when is he coming home?" I asked changing the subject, "He should be on his way" Louis replied to which I nodded to, "I'll just wait for him here then" I said sitting back on the couch.

"You should speak with him another day you look exhausted" Noah said, "I am, but I need to speak to him" I said pulling a blanket over me, "We'll stay down here then until he arrives" Louis said, "It's okay you guys should get sleep" I said, "No it's okay we'll stay here" he continued as I nodded while Parker went to the kitchen to get us drinks.

When he entered he handed out beers until I picked mine up and looked at him confusingly, "What?" Parker asked as he sat down, "You gave alcohol to a pregnant woman" Noah said slapping him lightly over the head while chuckling as I laughed as well. "Oh yea I forgot you couldn't have alcohol, I don't think I could deal with that" Parker said as he took as swig of his beer.

"You get used to it" I said yawning and resting my head of the sofa, "Are you sure you want to wait for Jeremiah?" Louis said turning to me, "Yea I'm fine" I said as Parker turned on the TV to make us watch The Flash.

20 minutes into the programme they had all fell asleep which chuckled about until I heard the front door open and close while the boys still slept.

"Jeremiah?" I asked while getting up from the sofa, which he turned surprisingly when he saw me, "What are you doing up at this time?" He asked as he came closer to me to give me a hug but I stepped away stopping him from hugging me, "What's wrong?" Jeremiah asked, "Nothing it's just, why have you been going out really early in the morning and coming home late?" I asked while the boys still slept. Jeremiah sighed as we entered the kitchen, "Turns out the attack that happened 2 weeks ago wasn't Adrian" he said looking at me.

"Well if it wasn't Adrian who was it?" I asked, "It was...my brother" he said facing out the window, "What? I thought you hadn't heard from him since he....died?" I asked worryingly, "I haven't, it seems my brothers gone rogue ands trying to take down my mafia while my mother and sister contacted me the other week to tell me about it as their worried for our safety. There coming home tomorrow" When Jeremiah had finished I found myself in shock so much so that I stumbled into his arms passing out shortly after.

I opened my eyes to see mine and Jeremiah's bed while he sat in the chair opposite our bed, "Jeremiah?" I said as I sat up on the bed, "Do you want some water?" He asked bringing his chair out of the darkness, "I'm okay" "Is it really your brother who attacked us 2 weeks ago?" I asked looking at Jeremiah, "Yes but don't worry I have everything handled and it seems that he's come round and wants to see us with just my mother and sister to apologise which is weird" Jeremiah said to which something clicked in my mind, "When the man came up to the room, originally there was 2 men but one guarded the door while the other came in, the man who guarded the door left just before Noah came up which means that he heard me say to the other guy that I was pregnant and your brother now knows I'm with you meaning-" "He can't attack us as your pregnant and we're soon to be married" Jeremiah finished my sentence as I nodded.

"Also to add on that, we're to be married in a week" Jeremiah said calmly to which I was shocked, "A week! Why didn't you tell me we haven't planned or anything" I said getting up and passing back and forth before Jeremiah held my waist gently, "Everything's already planned all you have to do is pick out your dress and the bridesmaids and that's it" Jeremiah said kissing my forehead. "And after consideration, we think for the benefit of everyone here and in the mafia it would be safer to stay out here and live here permanently, although me and you can look at homes of our own for our family" Jeremiah smiled as he laid a hand on my stomach, "That sounds amazing" I said as I learnt in and pressed a kiss to his lips.

"I was thinking as my brother, sister and mother are coming down tomorrow and are staying you could bring my mother and sister along with you if possible and I know this would be a stretch as you don't know her but to let my sister be a bridesmaid as she's always wanted to be one, but I understand if you don't want to" Jeremiah to which I chuckled at, "Of course she can be a bridesmaid and your mother and sister are more than welcome to come shopping with us for dressed tomorrow" I said hugging into Jeremiah as he hugged back.

"However there's one thing" Jeremiah said to which I looked to him, "What else could there be?" I chuckled, "Only my brother knows about your pregnancy so we could surprise my mother and sister about it when they arrive as they've always wanted a baby in the family" Jeremiah said to which I agreed to, excited about the upcoming day.

After speaking for a while we decided to go to sleep as it was pretty late, "I'm sorry about springing all of this on you" Jeremiah said as he wrapped his arms around me, "It was worth the wait for this much excitement" I said pressing a kiss to his lips. "I love you" I said as he looked down to me, "I love you too".
