Worried

Leanne's POV

"Are you sure you wanna go back to the hotel? I can just go and check on things myself of it's too much for you? You can stay here and relax" Micheal says as i'm getting ready. "There's no need really, plus I can't just stay home all the time"

"Why not? you'll be home most of the day in four months from now" he smiles placing his hand I my tummy. "That's in four months and I'll be busy all the time at home, not just sitting around the house doing nothing all day. I hate sitting around doing nothing all day"

"If your sure your gonna be ok"

"I'm fine" I smile and peck his lips. "What about... you know?" He mumbles. "Emma?" I ask and he nods. "What of she starts questioning you again"

"She most likely will"

"And What Are you gonna say?"

"Same thing I said last time. After we went home, Mary and I had and argument and I left and haven't seen or spoken to her since, just like you told me to tell people. I'll be fine. I can't avoid her forever. i'll have to speak to her eventually. She works there" I shrug. "She doesn't have to"

"What do you mean?" I ask confused. "If her being there is a problem for you then I can just fire her and..."

"You can't do that" I cut him off. "She's a good worker and it won't be fair to fire her if she hasn't done anything wrong"

"But if it's making you feel uncomfortable"

"Then i'll deal with it. I'd rather feel uncomfortable than risk her going back to... her old life" I mumble that last part and he nods understandably. "If your sure you'll be ok"

"I'm sure" I nod "shouldn't you be at the office by now?" I change the topic seeing the time. "I'm gonna go later after I've checked on something"

"Check on what?" I ask confused and he doesn't say anything and I realise by his face where he's going. "What is there to check?"

"Just to make sure that nobody's been there and stuff. I won't be there long"

"Maybe I should go instead" I suggest and he shakes his head. "I don't want you near that place"

"But it's not fair you having to keep going. This is my mess" I mumble and he wraps his arms around me, pulling me close to him. "It's fine. That woman put you through so much trauma and alot of people would have snapped if they went through something like you did. You don't need to go there and keep being reminded of what she did to you and what happened there" he says softly. "But I've put you through so much too. You never would have had these problems if I hadn't turned up" I mumble. "You didn't just turn up. I came to you remeber? And I was the one that wanted you in my life and did everything I could to be with you"

"You didn't know you'd have this much drama though" I shrug "true.. but you've brought me so much more than that. I've never been so happy and felt so loved until you came into my life and I've brought many problems for you too remeber? but we got through both our problems together and if we can get through all that then we can get through anything.. and we'll get through it together" he smiles and pecks my lips.

Micheal's POV

After Leanne leaves Bugsy starts crying near the back door so I open the door to let him out then go upstairs to get ready.

I'm only going to be there a few minutes to check nobody's been there, but I still hate going there because I can't help but imagine the things that happened there and that's why I don't want Leanne going there. From the things she told me about her childhood, that house was once a happy and loving home for her which now thanks to Mary became the place where all her pain and misery started. Plus there being a dead body in basement makes it even more creepy.
