"Right." James said. "Okay." He said studying my face. He was searching my eyes for something. "Go on what's the matter." He said. "I just- what if I am pregnant but the baby doesn't make it. Like the last time." I said worriedly. James pulled me into a hug and said, "No. If you are pregnant then this baby will be stronger than ever because we know about it. We will work together and we can finally start something good. I'd have my own little evil apprentice." He chuckled which made me laugh. "Okay James." I said smiling.

The next day I came home with a pregnancy test. I took a deep breath and went upstairs to take the test.

"Honey!" James called as he arrived home from work. "I'm up here James." I called as I sat on my bed staring at the test. He walked in and saw the situation. "Oh, did you take it?" He asked. I nodded. "Well?"
"I'm pregnant." I said handing him the test. A large grin grew on his face. He pulled me up and said, "Charlotte this is amazing." He smiled and I forced a smile as he hugged me tight. My smile soon fell as I was still nervous this child wouldn't make it or I would do something to ruin this.

Later that afternoon I was staring at myself in the mirror. I looked at my stomach and noticed the scar I had from the previous pregnancy. I sighed and traced the line of the scar with my finger. It was never going to go. I hated it.

I walked down the stairs and someone knocked on the door. James was about to get the door as he walked towards the door from the kitchen but I said I'd get it and he went back to the kitchen. I opened it and saw the guy from the shop. "Oh.. Hi." I said. "Hey." He smiled and he held out a small card to me. I took it and it was my driving licence. "Oh my god. Thank you." I said. "I didn't even know I lost it." I said feeling relieved. "It's okay. We could all use a little help every now and then. I'm Zachary by the way." He said.
"I'm-"
"Charlotte." He laughed.
"Right." I said realising he'd seen my name on my driving licence.
"Well thank you Zachary." I smiled.
"No problem." He said and he seemed to smile at me in a different way. Almost in a sinister way. "Okay bye." I smiled and I shut the door.

As soon as the door closed I got chills and I shivered. That voice. His voice. He called on the phone yesterday. I turned and stared at the front door. He got lucky. He got lucky that I lost my driving licence and now he knows where I live.

"James. James!" I called walking into the kitchen. "Yes Kitten?" He said turning to face me. "It was a man, Zachary, he gave me my driving licence I must have lost it and now I just- I realise he is the one who called yesterday. And now he knows my phone number and where I live. James I'm going to- I- I can't-" I couldn't breathe and I frantically tried looking for a tissue to wipe the tears which where now streaming down my face.

James stopped me and pulled me in and hugged me securely. "Honey. Stop. Calm down. Who is he? What does he look like I will sort it out." He whispered.
"James he h-he has black hair it's short and he's fairly tall he wore a suit earlier. That's all I can think of. I'm sorry." I said gripping his shirt tightly. "Shhh. Its okay. I'll sort this out. I promise. Right now I am on keeping you and this little one safe and sound." He said rubbing my stomach briefly.

I nodded and by this time I had stopped crying and calmed down. "Okay. Okay." I said. I pulled away from him and he smiled. "Dinner will be ready soon." He said. I nodded and I walked into the living room. Just as I did the phone rang. I didn't answer it. If it was important they would ring again later. Then there was a message left. "One...." As soon as the voice spoke I knew who it was. "Two.... Three.... Four.... I'll be back.... to get.... some more." The phone then beeped and I deleted the message as soon as it ended.

I'm now terrified.
