17. Uncovered Truth

Declan's P.O.V.

I lay next to Cleo, and look down at her and see her eyes are closed and her breathing is even. Leaning in, I press my lips to her forehead, and she lightly moans in her sleep. She curls tighter into me and I smile as I watch her sleep. I take my hand that I draped over her body and move it to her stomach, lightly I stroke her stomach.

"I promise from now on, I'll protect you, both of you." I mentally say, my eyes go wide as I feel a little push against my hand. I lightly smile as my unborn child, pushes against my hand. Cleo readjusts slightly, then her hand moves and lands on top of mine. I look up at her and see her eyes are still closed. I kiss her forehead again, then carefully get out of bed, and go to my in room closet. I grab two loose fitting shirts, a pair of sleep pants, and a pair of sleep shorts.

I slip the sleep pants on, then the shirt. I take the other shirt and shorts, then walk to the bed. I kneel on the edge of the bed, and lightly slip the shirt over Cleo's head. I gently get Cleo's arms through the shirt, then I carefully pull the shirt down and over her body. I get the shorts over Cleo's feet and slide them up until the waistband sits on her hips.

Silently, I walk to my door, then open it. Quietly, I close the door behind me, then proceed to my mothers office. I get to her office, and before I raise my hand to knock on the door, I hear those in the office talking about the situation.

"Are we sure letting them be together this long was a good idea? Who knows what could happen." Parker says, then giggling happens.

"On second thought, never mind I don't want to know what could happen." Parker says with horror in his voice. I wait outside the door and listen some more.

"Give them a break... they need the alone time, with being separated for over two weeks and a few days, all because he got kidnapped and she couldn't see past her own biases to ask for proper help with things." Mckelty harshly says, I shake my head to keep from getting angry at her.

"We cannot blame either of them though. Any situation was due to veer off course at some point. It was only a matter of which situation, would fall through and bring them to their senses." My mother explains, I take my chance and open the door of the office. Everyone turns and looks at me as I enter the office, then close the door behind me. Eyes widen as I step further into the room.

"Son, is everything alright?" My mother asks puzzled to see me standing in her office.

"Where's Cleo?" Parker looks toward the door and questions. I look at each of them, then shake my head.

"She's asleep. Now, I have a question of my own. Who in this room knows of Cleo's condition?" I sternly ask, everyone's eyes go wide, except Mckelty her face turns into one of confusion.

"Cleo's condition?" Mckelty confusingly questions, I look and see Parker shaking his head.

"Cleo hasn't told her. Everyone else in here knows, though." Parker informs me, I give him a shocked look.

"She actually told you?" Julian questions, I shake my head, then give a small smile.

"Found out, when we were showering together." I watch as Parker's face turns to one of pure disgust.

"I didn't need to know that." Parker exclaims, as he shakes his head.

"Okay, I'm lost. What's going on with Cleo?" Mckelty asks annoyed that she is out of the loop. Julian turns to her, and she looks at him confused.

"Cleo's pregnant." Mckelty's eyes go wide, and she smacks Julian across the arm. Which jostles Noah, and wakes him up as he sleeps in Julian's arms.

"You lied to me?" Mckelty questions, Julian backs up, then shakes his head.
