Mias POV:
I reached for my clothes and Rafe threw them to the other side of the room, passing me a white robe instead.
'Okay but only if you're gonna be walking around naked.' I teased, watching him put one on himself.
'Deal.'
He carried me downstairs to the kitchen and finished making the pasta, putting it onto two separate plates and passing me one to carry to the outside table.
'This is how I want to live with you Mia.' He said, after a moments silence.
'It's peaceful isn't it?' I smiled.
'Quiet, alone, intimate.' He nodded. I raised my eyebrows at him and tried not to laugh, and he nudged me lightly.
'I just want the perfect life for my girls.' He said, rubbing my stomach.
'We've got it.' I replied.
'You don't, I've been such a bad fiancé and such a bad dad recently.' He sighed. I put my fork down and reached got his hand, forcing him to look at me.
'Rafe things are always gonna be hard for us and you know that, but nobody has ever tried as hard for me as you.' I assured him.
'I'm gonna protect you and I'm gonna make sure you're both so loved.' He said, huskily. I smiled, leaning across the table to kiss him.
'Are you finished?' I asked him, standing up and taking my plate.
'No let me do that.' He said, taking it from me and also grabbing his own, walking to the sink.
'Rafe you can't do everything for me you know.' I laughed, my eyes falling on the window into the garden. I saw John hide behind a bush, waving up at me as he did so.
'I am going to you know that.' He shouted from the kitchen. I tried to wave John away but he didn't listen, still trying to get closer to the house.
'What're you waving your hand for?' Rafe questioned.
'Oh, a fly.' I shrugged.
'I'm gonna go to the shops quickly, I want you to stay here and rest.' He said. I looked out of the window to see John followed by 2 tall men, one of them larger than the other, and a girl with a knife.
'No I need to come with you.' I panicked.
'I want you to rest baby it's been a long day.' He insisted.
'Rafe please.' I begged, grabbing his arm.
'Why are you so jumpy all of a sudden?' He asked, pulling me into a hug and rubbing my head.

I breathed in sharply and let go, knowing I couldn't tell him the truth. I had to trust John B and whoever he was with, he'd not let them hurt me.
'Nothing, it's okay, just go.' I said, plastering on a fake smile.
'I can't leave you like this.' He replied, obviously torn.
'Baby please, go, cuddle me when you're back.' I smiled.
He nodded, kissing me longer than he usually did, and locking the door behind him. I stood in silence, and as expected, heard the cellar door open a few moments later. I walked slowly down the stairs, waiting to see a figure.
'John B?' I whispered. I was grabbed from the bottom step and thrown to the floor, landing on my stomach. I began to cough, begging for air, and I felt like I was going to be sick.
'I told you not to hurt her!' John shouted, pushing the man off of me and helping me up.
'John I'm pregnant.' I spluttered, grabbing my stomach as I felt myself double over again.
'Sit down.' He said, walking me to the step and helping me sit down. I took a few deep breaths before looking up, seeing the three people I had seen before looking down at me.
'Mia, this is Cleo, Terrance and Stubbs.' John introduced.
'Fuck you.' I said back bitterly.
'You're waiting to get your throat cut girly.' Terrance warned. I flipped him off and the girl I had been told was Cleo sat besides me. I flinched, but began to trust her, once she'd put her knife down.
'Look, smell this, trust me it'll make you feel better.' She said, handing me something wrapped in a dirty handkerchief.
'I'm not stupid.' I spat.
'Oh come on it's lavender.' She laughed. I felt embarrassed, realising it was in fact lavender, and took it from her hand, nodding to her.
'Rafe will be back any second.' I said, closing my eyes and leaning back on the step.
'That's why we need you to give us the code to the safe.' Terrance said.
'Not gonna happen.' I laughed in disbelief. He brought the knife closer to my neck and making a small slice.
'John get this hunk off of me or you won't be getting a thing.'
John rolled his eyes and pulled Terrance away again, taking my hands in his.

'Look I'm alive okay, I'm here, just help me please.' He begged.
'You know I can't do that for you.' I smiled sadly, as he wiped a tear from my face.
'Just one, or two, help me move on and live a better life.' He insisted.
'You brought these Scruffs here to steal one or two bars of gold?' I asked. He sighed, sitting back down on the floor.
'Where's Sarah? She know you're here?' I asked.
'No.' He said quietly.
'Get back to her.' I said sternly. The door upstairs opened and closed, and I knew Rafe was back. John stood up hastily and looked at me in horror.
'I love you, go Please.' I whispered. He hugged me tightly and opened the cellar door, leading everyone out.
'Nice to meet you Mia.' Cleo nodded.
'You too.'
'You stay away from us, we will get that gold.' Terrance said, punching me in the stomach again. I did fall completely to the floor this time, my head hitting the safe as I did.
'Who's down there?' Rafe shouted. I couldn't reply.
'I've got a gun.' He warned.
'Rafe.' I spluttered. He dropped the gun to the floor and ran towards me, moving his hand behind my head and looking around the room.
'What happened?' He panicked.
'These men came, and tried to steal the gold, they tried, they knew I was pregnant and they still tried to hurt her.' I whispered, covering my stomach.
'What did they look like?'
'Tall, dark, kinda poor, scruffy clothes.' I said, listing off the men I had seen, making sure I didn't mention John or Cleo. He double locked the door and carried me upstairs, putting me on the sofa.
'And you protected the gold? You could've given them to code.' He said.
'Of course I'd not do that.' I replied. He kissed my head, picking up his phone to call his dad.
