I couldn't get in contact with Derek, every time I called his phone it went straight to voicemail making me sigh once again.

Grant was now looking into both the texts also trying to get in contact with Derek.

I couldn't help myself when I pressed on Derek's number again putting the phone up to my ear just hoping for some reason he'd actually pick the phone up.

"Amelia?" Derek questions his voice not quiet sounding right.

"It wasn't work on the phone before, was it?" I question straight away, Derek was probably planning on hanging up on me any second now.

"No, but don't leave the house, and if they tell you to do anything, just do it" he finishes before the line goes silent signalling to me that he had hung up.

I sigh putting my phone on the bed, I picked it back up typing in my mums phone number just wanting to see her in a moment like this.

"How are you?" My mum questions putting a comforting hand on my leg making me smile.

"I'm not good" I say not being able to hold back a laugh at how stupid this whole situation was.

"You know you can walk away from all of this right" my mum says, I knew she only wanted the best for me which is why I didn't yell at her when she brought up such a thing.

"I know, but I don't want to, I love Derek" I say looking down at my hands playing with the hem on my sweater.

"I know, but sometimes it's not worth it, I know from a young age you've wanted a family, are you really prepared to give that up for this?" My mum questions making me sigh.

"In not giving it up mum, because my families just beginning" I say motioning towards my stomach making my mum gasp.

"Your-?" She questions not being able to finish her sentence.

"Yeah, I'm pregnant" I say a smile coming onto my face, my mum bringing me into a tight hug.

"Have you told Derek?" She questions pulling away from the hug but continues to hold my hand.

"No, but I think he already knows" I say, what else could they have told him to leave so suddenly.

"I'm so happy for you" my mum squeals making me laugh as we once again hug each other.

Derek's pov

I leaned back in the seat looking out the front window as rain began to pour down on my car.

I was parked in a random parking lot trying to process the new information I had just been provided with, Amelia was pregnant.

This couldn't be happening, we couldn't raise a child in this situation.

By the time the baby is born we would probably have no money left and have to rely on our parents for a place to stay.

Things weren't great with this whole situation.

I ran a hand threw my hair sighing loudly knowing I would eventually have to go home and finally have to come to terms with the fact that in nine months there would be a small Amelia and I in the world.

I wasn't sure if I was ready for that.

I finally turned the key turning the car on immediately putting it into drive and making my way home.

Once arriving home I saw that all the lights were out. I turned my car off the lights turning off leaving me in darkness as I hoped out and unlocked the front door relocking it behind me.

I assumed that Amelia was now in bed, I dropped my keys on the table next to me making my way up the stairs and into our room.

I saw Amelia's figure on the bed through the shine of the moon coming through the curtains.

I walked closer towards the bed unsure if wether or not she was awake.

I laid down next to her wrapping an arm around her waist as she wiggled under me.

"Grant says we need to go into hiding" her voice speaks up, I tighten my hold on her never wanting to let go.

"We need to leave this life behind, especially with a kid on the way" I say making her turn around in my arms so she is now facing me.

"Are you freaking out?" She questions putting a hand on my check.

"I was, I probably still am, a kid can't survive in the life we are living" I say, Amelia presses her lips to mine for a short period of time before pulling away.

"Then we need to stop them"

hopefully you don't find this book has gone cliche with her now pregnant but I think it's a good addition to the book and will keep the story line going for a lot longer
