"The food isn't going to run away, love. Slow down." Newt laughs as he noticed half my plate was already gone. It was just a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup but it was by far the best I've ever had. It was nice to have something other than crunched up granola bars.

"Didn't realize it's a crime to be hungry." Minho buts in, backing me up. He was shoving his food in the same way I was, both of us looking like we hadn't eaten in decades. Thomas hadn't left Brenda's side which kinda worried me, even though I knew he didn't kiss her back it still bothered me how much he cared about her. I get that she was just on the brick of death but he doesn't need to care for her 24/7, the least he could do was have dinner with his friends. After finishing my food I was reminded mom wanted to see me as I saw her talking to Vince. As I began to approach they didn't seem to see me and continued on with their conversation.

"I've gotten word the men I sent out for a safe haven found a desolated island not even WCKED knows about. I think we could set up permanent camp there." Vince speaks in a hushed tone, yet I'm still able to hear it. My mom appears to have the same reaction as me, doubt. She doesn't get the chance to respond before I carelessly step on a stick, cracking it in half and catching their attention.

"The baby and I are ready for our first checkup." I declare, pretending I wasn't just eavesdropping on their all conversation. If what he saying was true then I along with everyone else here might have a chance at a normal life again. But for right now it was just a dream that I shouldn't waste time pondering on. She nods goodbye to Vince as we start our way back to her office I felt like I had just come from.

"Is Thomas not coming?" Truth was I didn't even think about asking him to join us, it was unfair for me not to even offer but he looked to busy with Brenda anyways.

"Uh, no." She eyed me when I said this but kept her thoughts to herself anyways. While she was prepping everything and I was laying on the reclined chair a knock on the door rang throughout the room.

"Is Y/n in here?" Why was Newt here? My mother lets him inside and when he sees me he immediately smiles, somehow it was contagious because I break out into a full on grin.

"I happened to run into Cora and she said you were up here making sure the baby is strong, and I wanted to keep my promise that you're not alone in this and come to keep you company." It was probably due to mood swings but this made me want to cry, it was so incredibly sweet that even my mom stopped to listen. Test after test and everything was coming back fine, after a while it was time for the ultrasound. Just as my mom was applying the cold gel onto my stomach the door opened revealing a pissed off looking Thomas. The second he saw Newt he grew even more angrier.

"Why am I not surprised Newt is here right now, you couldn't bother to invite me but of course he's happy to take my place." I had never seen Thomas like this, especially towards me and quite frankly it was frightening.

"Well I'm so very sorry but I didn't want to interrupt the fun you and Brenda seemed to be having." His face instantly fell, I guess he wasn't expecting me to fire back with the same energy.

"She doesn't have anything to do with this, leave her out of it." What a fucking moron, she had everything to do with this, she was the center of the whole entire problem.

"Thomas, I know you're not stupid so don't pretend to believe what you said is actually true." We both just stared at one another for a few moments until he came and sat down on the other side of me, giving up on trying to be right and realizing this fight was getting us no where. Subconsciously I scoot closer to Newt the second Thomas sits down, everyone noticed except for me.

"Well let's go ahead and get started." My mom stated as she clicked a button, turning on a nearby screen. As she pressed the probe against my stomach the monitor lit up with a bunch of different shades of gray. Everything was moving it was hard to tell what I was supposed to focus on. 

"There's the little one." Mom says as she points to a white dot floating around. That looked nothing like I had expected, both Newt and Thomas had the same reaction. All of us staring at the ultrasound with perplexed expressions. 

"Its barely a month old, it's not going to have distinct features yet." My mom reminds all of us as she sees our reactions. I was just about to make a smart ass comment when a loud crash came from outside. As we make our way outside to figure out the source of the noise we were instantly met with the smoldering smell of something burning, at first I thought someone had just been cooking food and it went wrong until I saw a little metal can fly above us. A bomb. Explosions every which way began going off sending everyone into a chaotic panic. 

"Cora." I state to my mom with wide eye, realizing she was somewhere other than with us. My first instinct after all these years was to go and find her, ignoring my mothers screams to come back I dart to where I last saw my sister. In the far distance I was able to make-out the silhouette Minho through the smoke, he was standing with a much smaller figure that had the same build as Cora. I yelled her name as loud as I possibly could and the person next to Minho turned around, it was her. Just when I was about to reach them I heard a large set of footsteps behind me, foolishly I stop and turn around. I should have kept running, I should have done many things in my lifetime but in this circumstance made my decisions much for important. The second I saw who was behind me I attempted to resume running even faster this time but he was to quick. 

Within a blinding second he had grabbed my wrist whilst stuffing a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth. I struggled for a good minute before whatever chemicals were on the fabric had entered my body, they made me so tired I wasn't able to evade sleep no matter how hard I tried. I don't understand how it was always me getting into these situations but it was beginning to bother me, I couldn't catch a break even when finding a place of refuge.
