Chapter hasn't been edited at all yet so please forgive the mistakes. I was just eager to get it out.

Abby's POV

Once Judge Steven's got word of the shooting he put Johns trial on hold, but not before doubling the charges against him.

When the obstetrician examined me in the hospital, and did a sonogram we found out how far along I was. Turns out I'm almost four months along. Which means on the night John was going to kill me I was already pregnant. The same goes for the day he killed our body doubles.

We got to be in the court room when the Judge informed John of the changes. It was a closed court room. No reporters, no friends no family. Just the accused, Lawyers, detective Maurice, Jackson and me.

"Mr. Sawyer we're here  today for two reasons. The first, being that your late wife was involved in a shooting with your sister in law. Fortunately for Miss. Phillips, your wife was shot and killed before she could mortally wound her."  Other than hanging his head and placing his folded hands on the table infront of him he shows no emotion.  Or maybe it is and he's just processing.

"The second reason we are here is because some news was given to me about Miss Phillips that affects your charges and sentencing."  Johns ears literally perk up, head still hanging slightly turns to look at me out of the corner of his eye. "While being examined after her surgery to remove the bullet from her stomach, Miss Phillips and her fiance Mr. Sawyer received news that she was expecting her first child."  Ever so slowly Johns head raises to face Judge Steven's. "She four months along to be exact." Johns jaw muscles clench so tight I think his teeth will crack, his neck and face turn a deep red. "Which means not only did you attempt to kill her but her baby as well. What this all adds up to is two charges of attempted murder, two charges of battery, and it doesn't help with the murder charges of the two people you killed who were impersonating both Miss Phillips and Mr Sawyer."  John stands and turns, looking right in my eyes.

"How could you! It's not bad enough you fucked him, but you let him knock you up?!"

"Get him out of here!" Jackson yells, standing up and stepping infront of me as the guards rush up behind John and drag him out by his arms. John fights and kicks while screaming things out at me.  The judge bangs his gavel a few times trying to bring order back. Jackson sits back down next to me pulling me into his side.

"Mr. Sawyers trial will reconvene in two weeks." He bangs his gavel once more before leaving the room.

"I can't believe that all just happened. He doesn't belong in prison, he belongs in a mental institution." I say more to myself still staring at the door they dragged John through.

Jax kisses the side of my head. "I couldn't agree more. But as long as he's away for life, I don't care where they keep him."  Jax stands pulling me up into his arms.

"You two go home and rest for the next two weeks." Detective Maurice says from behind me.

"Nah." I crane my neck to look at Jackson raising a brow. "I have other plans for us." I can't help but giggle with excitement.

"Oh yeah? Like what?"  He dips his head down to kiss me.  Leaning his head against mine he smiles.

"Make you my wife." He whispers and pulls away. I jump up and try and climb him like a tree. He laughs while picking me up so I can wrap my legs around his waist. I smash my lips to his and hear Maurice laugh behind me.

"Well congratulations to all three of you."  Jackson turns slightly so we can both look at Maurice. 

"Thanks Detective."
