Leanne's POV

After taking a shower and getting dressed, I go downstairs and Micheal is sitting in the living room. "I thought you were going to work?" I say confused. "I am. Janet called and said she was stuck in traffic. She'll be here soon though" he smiles through pursed lips. "She doesn't need to come over here everyday. I'll be fine by myself. Trust me" I sigh slightly. "I do trust you. I just thought you might like some company while I was gone" he shrugs casually. "Then why are you sitting here waiting for Janet if you trust me?" I raise an eyebrow and he doesn't say anything for a moment, then gets up and walks over and wraps his arms around me. "Because it scares me when your here by yourself. Anything could happen to you"

"Then I'll lock the door and won't answer to a body except you or Janet"

"But what if you fall asleep and.. " he pauses and looks at the ground. "Is that why your getting so paranoid about me being alone in the house?" I ask and he nods. "One of the reasons, but if your home alone then anything could happen and..."

"Micheal, you need to stop worrying" I cut him off. "What happened that night with the whole stove and stuff was a one time thing"

"But what if it's not? You have been getting more tierd lately and sleeping during the day. Maybe we should take you to the doctors again" he suggests "there's nothing wrong with me. I'm just tierd alot because I'm 7months pregnant. It's normal to feel more tierd at this stage" I reassure him. "Are you sure about that?" He asks still concerned and I nod and smile.

"Do you remeber last week when you had to bring all the groceries in the house because I couldn't carry anything?"

"Yeah why?" He frowns confused at my question. "Well how do you think you'd feel if you not only had to carry them around all day everyday, but it was growing bigger and heavier each day?"

"Um... I guess that would be pretty tiering"

"Well that's how I feel everyday. Plus I can't even get out of bed like I used to. I've had to start rolling out... without any help. I might add" I fold my arms playfully. "To be be fair. It did look kinda funny. Like when you got stuck on the sofa and couldn't get up. You looked like cute little baby turtle that was trying to get back on its feet" he chuckles.

"That's was not funny" I pout playfully. "Aww... don't get mad. I helped you up eventually" he giggles and pecks my lips and we here the front door unlocking.

"Hey! Sorry the traffic was a real bitch this morning" Janet's smiles, coming over and gives me a hug then turns to Micheal. "I thought you were going to the offices today" she frowns confused. "I am but I was waiting for you to get here and..."

"Bye then" she waves and takes my hand, pulling me into the living. "So I was thinking today we could have a really girlie day and..."

"Do you mind if I borrow her for a moment?" Micheal says coming into the room and leads me out into the hallway.

"I'll call you in a little while" he smiles and kisses me softly.

"Your ruining girls day Micheal!" We hear Janet call from the living, making us both chuckle. "I'm gonna miss you" I smile kissing him once more. "I'll miss you more" he smiles kissing me back the same way.

"Oh my God. Will you put her down and go to work already" Janet rolls her eyes playfully. "I was just leaving"

"Then go. Before Joesph finds out your late again" she says pointing towards the front door. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever, I'm going" he chuckles "I love you" he smiles and pecks my lips once more before leaving.

"Oh.. so that's how it is?" Janet folds her arms "love you too sis" he says as he leaves the house.

"Is he really late?" I ask once Micheal leaves "I have no idea.... probably" she shrugs.

Micheal's POV

When I get into my office. I text Leanne to let her know I'm here and to check she's ok and I see I have a text from Janet.

From: Janet
Couldn't say in front of Leanne, but left some stuff for you in your top draw :)

I go over to my draw and see a small folder and open it up and smile seeing all the ideas she has for our wedding with a huge list of songs she thinks would be good for our first dance. I have some ideas myself , but I want this to be the perfect song that really means something to us both. There's alot of really nice songs here, but nothing that really speaks out to me or about us.

I've finally decided on the dress and rings and the last thing I need to do is find the perfect song for us.

After going over some of them in my head. There's a few I like, but I'm still not sure so I decide to go and see Randy to see what he thinks.

"Hey, Randy can..."

"Can't you knock!?" He snaps, quickly closing his laptop. "Why? We're you doing?" I smirk "nothing. Just working. Like you should be" he says defensively. "And I will be, but I wanted to ask your thoughts on..."

"Randy!" I hear Joesph's voice and he walks in, looking annoyed. "You were supposed to bring me that report last night. Where is it?"

"Sorry, I forgot. I'll just get it" he says going over to one of the cabinets and as his back is turned I lift up the screen on his laptop a little to see what he was getting so defensive about.

"What are you doing?" Joesph ask confused. "Nothing" I say in a neutral tone, trying not to look pissed.

"Well I don't pay you to nothing. Get back to work" he says and leaves once Randy give him the report.

"What the fuck is this!?" I snap once Joesph leaves and Randy looks at me nervously when he sees me holding his laptop open.

Janet's POV

"So have you thought of any names for the baby yet?"

"I have some but nothing really official" Leanne shrugs. "I still can't believe you didn't get a picture. Don't you want to know what your having?"

"We already know.. it's a baby"

"You know what I mean" I chuckle. "Well we want it to be a surprise for you all"

"But wouldn't it be a surprise for you too?" I frown confused "Um... yeah that's what I meant"

"Do you guys know what your having?" I ask suspiciously and she shakes her head. "Oh my God! You know! What is it? Come on you gotta tell me. Is it a boy or a girl?" I ask excitedly and she shakes her head. "I'm not telling you. You'll have to wait, like everybody else" she giggles and I pouts playfully.

"I don't get why you guys won't tell anybody the gender. Or the whole home birth thing. Personally I'd have my baby in a hospital we're there's doctors on hand" I shrug. "That's true, but Micheal's really set on having the baby at home"

"And what about you?"

"Honestly? I'm not actually sure. I like the idea of having the baby at home, but I'm kind of worried incase something goes wrong"

"Have you told Micheal about this?" I ask and she shakes her head. "We already have everything prepared to have the baby at home"

"But if you don't want to, you don't have to just because that's what he wants. You need to talk to him about it"

"But I'm not sure if I even do want to go to the hospital so there's no point bringing it up" she shrugs. "But if your not 100% then you need to tell him. Don't let him bully you into doing something you don't want"

"He doesn't bully me. I just don't see the point in saying I may or may not want to have my baby in hospital. If I was was 100% sure then I'd say it" she says getting a little defensive at my comment. "I didn't mean it like that. It just came out wrong"

"It's fine" she smiles at me through pursed lips. "Why don't I make us something to drink?" She smiles and gets up to go into the kitchen and I hear the post arrive.

I get up to go and get it for her, but she already got to it and I notice she looking at one of the letters a little nervously and I watch as she goes into the kitchen and throws whatever it was in the trash.

"What's that?" I ask following her. "Just junk mail" she shrugs then turns to get something out of the fridge and I take the letter out of the trash and open it.

"What are you doing?" She frowns turning back to me. "This is a visiting order from Mia" I say confused and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"She sent me some a few times but I haven't gone to see her or wrote back to her" she insists. "Does Micheal know about her sending you letters and visiting orders?" I ask and she shakes her head. "Why not?"

"Because I haven't read them and have no intension of going to see her so there's no point" shrugs and I look at her concerned for a moment.

"Your not scared of Micheal are you?"

"Of course not" she frowns "are you sure? Because if he's bullying you or making you feel scared you know you can tell me right?" I say softly "Well he's not. I just don't see the point on telling him about something that doesn't even matter" she says, getting defensive again. "And what about the whole birth thing? You don't think that matters?" I raise an eyebrow and she doesn't say anything.

"Leanne, why don't you just tell people what's going on? After everything that's happened to you, you need to be honest with him. Especially about something like this and..."

"Fine. I'll talk to him. There's no point, but whatever" she cuts me off.

Lisa's POV

"I should have known that little bitch was up to something" Mia frowns. "I still don't get why she set you up. She knew I'd already been arrested" I say still confused by the whole situation. "Isn't it obvious? She's getting back at us for the whole fire thing"

"That was like a year ago. I'm pretty sure she's gotten over it by now" I roll my eyes. "I wouldn't be so sure. Some people are really petty and hold a grudge for a long time"

"Then why frame you so I could walk free? Plus Micheal was the one who actually started the fire. So why not go after him if that was the case?" I frown confused. "Duh.. because then she'll lose her rich baby daddy and all the benefits that come with it. And technically she is getting him back. He still feels guilty and she knows it and uses it against him. Why else would he stay with her and not be with you"

"I think he's made his feelings pretty clear on that one" I mumble. "No he hasn't. He's just saying those things because he's scared to leave Leanne"

"Why would he be scared of Leanne? She's 17 and pregnant. I'm pretty sure he's not scared of her" I chuckle sarcastically. "She was pregnant when she killed Mary. We both know she was the one that did" she raises and eyebrow "We just have to prove it"

"And how can we do that?" I shrug. "You need to get to Micheal. Leanne will never confess because she's sadistic and messed up and she's too smart to fall for it. Micheal on the other hand will be much easier to get a confession from"

"But we don't even know if he knows she did it" I point out. "Of course he did. Why else would he help her frame me. You need to get to Micheal and get him to confess and make sure you record it"

"But how?... Micheal can't stand to be around me anymore" I mumble that last part. "You got him to love you once and you can do it again"

"I don't think I can" I shake my head. "Micheal does still love you" she says softly. "He's just to scared to admit it because he's scared of Leanne, but if he knows your there for him and on his side then he won't be as scared of her and he'll confess"

"You really think so?" I ask, slightly hopeful and she nods. "If you can get him alone and away from Leanne then your more likely to get a confession  out of him and then I can get out of this place and you and Micheal can live happily ever after"

"You really think so?"

"Of course" she smiles "But you need to get him away from Leanne and get that confession from him first. Once you get that confession from him then Leanne will be locked up and I'll be free" she smiles and I smile back.

"I don't know if I can" I mutter. "I thought you loved Micheal?"

"I do but.."

"But your just gonna leave him there with that phycho? What if he's her next victim? Can you really live with that?" She says softly. "Of course not"

"Then you need to get him away and most important. Get that confession"

"I think our times up" I say noticing a security guard coming over. "Are you ok?" Mia asks, seeing the discomfort as I about to get up. "Just a cramp. Baby's being moving around like crazy today" I smile through pursed lips. "I'll come visit you again soon"

"Don't forget what I told you. And make sure you record what Micheal says ok?"

****
Randy's POV

"What the fuck is this?" Micheal asks again and I sigh heavily. "It's not what it looks like"

"Oh really? Then what is it? Because it looks to me like your posting all Leanne's details on the Internet! Why the fuck would you do that!?" He frowns. "I didn't put her name or anything. I just wanted some advice on what others would do if they were in this situation and if they think it's right to hide this from her" I explain. "So you posted it on yahoo answers!? Do you know how stupid that is!? What if someone that knows her read that! Or someone who knows Carley? Did you think about that!?"

"It's not like I used her name or name(s)"

"She only has one name and it's Leanne and even if you didn't use her name. How many babies get stolen from hospital or go through what she did!? And I already told you what you should do. Keep your fucking mouth shut"

"Nobody know who it is. I promise and look at all these replies. There's a whole bunch of people that agree that she needs to know the truth and..."

"And alot that agree with me" he cuts me off. "And I see you left the part about her self harming out of the story and what the fuck is that about me being controlling!?"

"I didn't say that I..."

"Her boyfriend tends to be very controlling when it comes to certain things she does and refuses to tell her and burned the letters and DNA results. That's what you wrote!" He snaps reading from the screen. "You are kind of controlling at times" I shrug. "No! I just know what's best for her! And who the fuck do you think you are going online telling people Leanne's business and cussing me out!? Maybe if you told the whole story you wouldn't have so many people saying to tell her. And it doesn't even matter what they say anyway. Because your not gonna say shit to her!" He snaps. "I didn't cuss you out and like I said. I just went on there because I wanted some advice" I try to explain again. "You want advice? Fine. Delete that post and keep your fucking mouth shut" he snaps "Fine.  I'll delete it. But I still believe you need to tell her and so do other people on here. Even without knowing who she is they think you should..."

"Delete the fucking post!" he snaps cutting me off and I sigh heavily and do as he asks and he stands over me the whole time making sure I delete it. "Now you need to forget about the whole Carley and Sofia thing and move on and don't ever do anything like that again" he snaps and leaves the room.

I understand Micheal being protective of Leanne, but he's not even considering what good this could do. I get it's going to hurt her when she finds out, but this woman had her baby stolen from her and she deserves to know what happened to her daughter and Leanne deserves to know she still has a mother. I have been tempted many times to tell Leanne the truth myself, but everytime I get a little closer to her, Micheal isn't that far behind and even if I did tell her. I know she'd believe him over me,especially now he's burned every bit of evidence to back up what I tell her.

After a few minutes I open the door to my office and see Micheal down the hall talking to Tito then go into his office and I go back to my laptop. I know it's probably a bad idea and he'd really flip if he found out, but I go back onto my profile and start rewriting the post I'd deleted.

****
Micheal's POV

"So are you gonna tell me what put you into such a bad mood?" Tito asks "It's nothing. Just Randy being a dick"

"About?"

"Just forget it. It's not important" I shrug "What's that?" He asks pointing at the folder in my hand which I'd forgotten about. "Oh, yeah. Janet left it for me. It's just some idea's for a wedding song and stuff. I was gonna ask Randy his advice but... it doesn't matter"

"Has he said something to you about it? Because if he has, don't worry about it. It's your life not his"

"You weren't saying that not to long ago. In fact you wanted me to talk Leanne into getting an abortion" I mumble with a slight attitude. "And I'm truly sorry about that" he says softly and I don't say anything.

"I know I was way out of line with what I said to you that day. It was just that the two of you hadn't known each other that long and the circumstances you guys met and all that other stuff. It just seemed like to much to fast, but if you truly love her and she makes you happy then it's not my place or anybody else's to get involved" he smiles at me through pursed lips and I smile back the same way.

"Why don't you show me your idea's?" He asks pointing at the folder and I hand it to him. "These are the songs Janet thought of, but I have some other thoughts too. I'm just not sure if it's any of them are the song I want for our wedding"

"You want something that speaks to you both and represents the two of you?"

"Exactly" I smile, happy that someone finally gets the type of song I want.

Leanne's POV

I'm in the kitchen, making dinner and Janet is helping me.

"I'm sorry about earlier" she mumbles and I look at her confused. "When I asked if Micheal was bullying you. I didn't mean to upset you"

"Why would you think he was bullying me?" I ask confused. "I'm not saying he would bully you purposely. I just know my brother and know how stubbon  he can be at times and how he prefers to always be in control of things. I just thought it was a little strange that you get nervous about telling him stuff"

"I'm not nervous about telling him things. I just don't see the point on bringing up something that's not that important" I shrug. "I get that, but Mia contacting you and you not being sure about giving birth at home are important. Do you not trust Micheal is that the problem?"

"Of course I trust him" I frown "I'm not getting at you. I'm just asking. I'd understand if you had trust issues. Especially after..."

"I trust Micheal 100%" I cut her off. "So you'll tell with him?" She asks and I nod. "I'll speak to him about it after dinner"

"You'll tell him. Not speak with him" she says stern yet softly.

"I'm back!" Micheal calls out, cutting me off as I was about to say something to Janet.

"We're in here" I smile "hey" he smiles, walking over and pecks my lips.

"I have to get going. I'll talk to you guys later" Janet says, getting her stuff. "Your leaving already?" Micheal turns to her confused. "I just have some stuff to do. I'll call you later" she smiles at me then leaves quickly.

"Have I missed something?" Micheal turns to me confused and I shake my head. "So what was that about?" He frowns confused. "She's probably just meeting a friend or something" I shrug. "Anyway. Dinners almost ready" I smile, changing the topic and he nods.
"So how was work?"

"Fine" he mumbles as goes over to the table "What's wrong?" I ask seeing he looks pissed off by the question. "It's nothing. Just Randy being an asshole"

"Why what did he say?" I ask and he doesn't say anything for a moment.

"We just got into a disagreement about work is all. It's nothing serious" he smiles at me through pursed lips.

During dinner neither of us really say much and I keep thinking about the conversation I had earlier with Janet. I'm still not sure if I really should bring any of that stuff up because like I told Janet. I'm not going to respond to Mia's letters or go to visit her and apart of me does want a home birth, but my concern is something going wrong and if we're in a hospital then we'll be surrounded by Dr's and nurses who can help straight away with any problem.

After dinner. I start clearing up the dishes, while Micheal is getting changed and I hear my phone beep in the living room and go to get it.

"What did you need to speak with me about?" Micheal asks reading something on my phone. "Why are you going through my phone?"

"I wasn't. You just got a text from Janet. And it just said have you spoke to Micheal yet"

"Weren't you going to get change or.. "

"Has something happened?" He asks cutting me off and I shake my head. "Then why would she send you that? Is something wrong?" He asks looking worried and I shake my head. "Then what is it?" He asks again and I sigh slightly and decide to just tell him, seeing how worried he looks.

"Janet and I were talking and she brought up about me having a home birth and I said I was thinking that maybe instead I..."

"No" he cuts me off quickly. "I didn't say I definitely did. I was just..."

"Good, because we're not"

"Why are you so determined I give birth at home instead of..."

"Where has all this come from?" He cuts me off again. "We've spends months planning this and getting everything ready and preparing for a home birth and now all of a sudden you spend one day with Janet and suddenly you wanna change everything, two months before your due to give birth"

"I didn't say that. All I was saying was that I was thinking about it and..."

"Well there's no point thinking about it because it's not gonna happen. We're having a home birth and that the end of it" he says sternly. "Why are getting all snappy with me?" I frown confused. "Because it's bad enough Randy being an asshole and then I come home and hear my girlfriend and sister have been cussing me out too!"

"What are you talking about?"

"Was there anything else you needed to tell me?" He asks and I shake my head. "That's all" I lie, not wanting to bring up the Mia stuff, especially after the way he just out of nowhete flipped out at me just for suggesting a hospital birth.

****
Lisa's POV

I was really starting to actually believe the things that Micheal had said were true and that he really did want to be with Leanne, but after speaking with Mia today it all makes perfect sense. I thought I was going crazy and staring to think it was just all in my head, but even Mia could see that he doesn't really want to be with Leanne and I know it sounds strange a grown man being scared of a pregnant teenager, but it really makes sense that he would be afraid of her and what she'd do if he was to try and leave her. I'd be terrified too if I was trapped in a house with a phcho serial killer.

After I left the police station I went home to get some rest and to change and it's getting pretty late and I make my way over to Micheal's house.

I know I can't just knock on the door and speak to him because Leanne is there, but I decided to write him a letter since I can't call him anymore, now he has changed his mobile number as well as his work phone and office so the best thing I can do is post my number and address telling him to contact me urgently.

After getting off the bus, I start getting really bad cramps again and have to sit down on the bench for a moment and wait for the baby stop moving around so much then make my way over to Micheal's house.

****
Micheal's POV

Leanne has barely spoken to me since I snapped at her earlier and I do feel really bad about it. I was just so pissed at what happened earlier with Randy, I just snapped and took it out on her when she started talking about giving birth in hospital. I obviously can't tell her the real reason I don't want her to, but I feel awful for the way I spoke to her and told her no, without even thinking of a good explanation.

After I'm done taking a shower I go downstairs and Leanne is the kitchen, getting some water.

"Are you ok?" I ask softly "mhm" she nods and goes to leave the room and I take her hand to stop her. "I'm really sorry about snapping at you earlier"

"Why were you getting so mad at me?" She asks, still looking upset. "I'm wasn't mad at you. I just got in an argument earlier with Randy and I took it out on you and I shouldn't have and I'm so sorry" I say sincerely  and she doesn't say anything for a moment.

"Why are you so against me giving birth in hospital?" She asks and I don't say anything for a moment trying to think of a good reason.

"I just think it'd be better if we were at home where we'll all feel safe and comfortable rather than a hospital. also your less likely to catch anything here. You here it all the time about mothers and babies that have died because they caught some disease or bug from a hospital and you don't know if the doctors wash their hands or who's lay in those beds. I'd rather be safe and you be at home"

"But what if something goes wrong?"

"Like what?"

"I don't know, but sometimes things can go wrong and what if there's complications or something?"

"Nothings gonna go wrong and my mother's gonna be here and she can help us. She's had nine kids, plus she been to all those classes with us" I reassure her. "But what if something does go wrong?" She asks nervously and I don't say anything for a moment then sigh slightly and wrap my arms around her.

"How about this then. We have the home birth as planned and if something goes wrong... which it won't. Then we'll go straight to the hostpital" I suggest and she doesn't say anything.

"I promise you. Everything's gonna be ok" I smile and peck her lips and she breaks away slightly. "What's wrong?" I asks softly and she doesn't say anything.

"Did Janet say something else to you?" I ask and she shakes her head then sighs slightly. "Mia sent me a visiting order today"

"She what?" I frown "She's sent me a few and some letters"

"How come you didn't tell me this before?"

"Because I haven't gone to see her or even read the letters. I threw them away"

"You still should have told me"

"I'm sorry" she mutters under her breath "I'm not mad at you. I just wished you told me is all. Do you want to see her?" I ask and she shakes her head. "I know she messed up in the passed, but I didn't do what I did to punish her. I did it so she could get help with her drug problem and so she'd be safe and off the streets. Like I said before I forgave them, but I can't go and visit her. I do wonder how she's doing and I know this sounds selfish, but I really don't want to see her and be reminded of the past"

"Then you don't have to" I reassure her. "And your not being selfish not wanting to see her. Your moving on, we both are and going there is only going to bring up the past for you and sometimes the past is best left where it is" I say softly. "I just wanna look forwards to the future not keep worrying about my passed"

"And you don't have to. You don't have to talk to anybody you don't want to and you don't have to feel guilty about Mia either. Like you said. You did it for her own good" I smile slightly and she smile back the same way and leans forward and kisses me softly.

****
Lisa's POV

When I get to Micheal's house, I quietly open the gate so I don't wake anybody and I notice the kitchen light is on and peak through the window and stand disgusted seeing Micheal with her. It's bad enough that bitch is keeping my man from being with me and now I have to see this! The two of them together... and on the marble counter top that I picked out! The same counter Micheal and I used to eat breakfast at together.

I suddenly feel myself becoming nauseous and quickly rush towards one of the bushes and begin throwing up and holding my stomach, feeling the cramps coming back.

After a moment the cramps finally calm down again, like they have all day and I go back towards the window and nobody is there.

I'm about to go back around the house to post the letter and I stop, thinking whether or not I really should. I'm constantly getting mixed messages from Micheal.  I know I haven't seen him or spoke to him in a while, but it's like one moment he's acting like he hates me and the next he's talking to me and being the nicest person and I can see in his eyes that he still loves me and then he suddenly changes.

After thinking for a moment I take a deep breath and decide to go ahead with it, but as I get close to the front door. I start getting more cramps only this time stronger and suddenly I feel my water break.
