"You were never supposed to leave."

Signs of pregnancy can begin as early as five to six days after fertilisation, however most women may not realise that they're pregnant for months due to less symptoms. Some typical symptoms include late or missing periods, tender breasts, mood swings, increased cravings, bloating and morning sickness.

I've never seen a pregnant woman before, not that I can remember at least, but I think I can recognise the signs when I see them, so here I stand, beside Newt as I had pulled him to the side of the truck. "Look, I need to talk to you.."

Newt gazed up at me through his lashes, nodding his head. "What's wrong, love?" I take in a deep breath as I gazed around, noticing the others crowding around us.

"Newt, you're pregnant."

"What?"

What?

Shut up Tommy..

"I didn't wanna be the one to tell you, but I think it's pretty obvious now that you're with child." Newt stared at me as though I had grown three heads, and I just smiled innocently. "Right..what makes you say this?"

"You were eating Vince's leftovers in the car earlier...nobody eats that stuff, no matter how hungry they are." I poke at Newt's stomach while he scowls at me

"Can you guys stop bickering and focus?" Jorge interrupts us, and the two of us stifle giggles as we make our way back over to the group. "Jorge, how do we get in?" Thomas speaks first, and Jorge turns over to him.

"Don't look at me, hermano," He points over to the city, "Those walls are.." He shakes his head.

"Well, we ain't gonna figure it out from up here." Brenda grins at the group of us, and we all scramble to get into the truck again. The drive was tense, and I found myself lost in my thoughts as we drove across every barrier, rock and pothole along the road towards the Last City.

The closer we get, the more worried I am, of course I know that Lawrence has to be in there somewhere, and that Right Arm guards were sent to his liege, but it doesn't mean that W.I.C.K.E.D. want us in their city, I suppose they're seen as rebels, or to be killed on sight.

You really think Minho is in there? Thomas speaks out in my mind, shaking me from my thought bubble and back into reality as we pulled up after the barrier.

We'll find out, Tommy.

Brenda gently takes a hold of my hand, squeezing it for reassurance as she helps me out of the truck. "You might wanna.." She trails off, and I quickly nod before taking out my face-mask, covering my face up to my eyes.

"Are you guys anti-mask or something, what's the problem?" Brenda stared over at the boys who didn't have masks or bandanas on their face, and I just shook my head as we entered the city. The first thing that hit me was the smell, like fuel and gasoline, not yet tainted by the soft spark of a match, or like the smell of a day at work, sweat and blood mixed in with good intentions.
