THE FOLLOWING DAY


DANIELS P.O.V


I walked back into the bedroom with a cup if tea in my hand. I mailed at Emily when I realized she was awake.

"Morning," she said as she turned over onto her back.
"Are you feeling ok?" I asked.
"Yeah alright," she said sitting up.
"I made you some tea," I said handing the mug to her.
"Thanks," she said kissing my cheek.

EMILYS P.O.V


I noticed straight away the worried look on Daniels face.

"What's wrong?" I asked.
"My grandpa has asked me to go stay with him for a week up the coast," he said.
"What's wrong with that?" I asked.
"My grandma asked to see you when I told her we were expecting a child," he said.
"Daniel I don't understand why this is so bad." I said.
"Well do you want to come. It's a 5 hour drive and up you haven't been well." He said.
"Daniel, I'm fine! I would love to go," I said.


Relief washed over his face and he smiled.

"When are we leaving?" I asked.
"How about tonight after dinner?" He asked me.
"I am exhausted, so as long as you are happy to drive and I can sleep hen that's fine with me," I said.
"Great!" He said smiling.

DANIELS P.O.V


"You should sleep," I said grabbing Emilys hand.
"I will," she said. "I am exhausted."
"I'm right here if you need me." I said looking over at her.
"I love you," she said.
"I love you to," I said.


A soft, gentle song came on and I turned up the radio to help Emily relax. I looked away to the road and by the time I looked back she was already sleeping.

EMILYS P.O.V


{DREAM}


"Daniel?" I asked looking around for him. "Daniel where are you?"


I walked down the stairs and I saw that my laptop was set up. The web cam was on and there was a live image of Daniel.

He was sitting on the ground covered in blood and Aiden was standing behind him with a gun.

"Daniel!" I screamed.
"I love you Emily," he said his voice was raspy.
"So goodbye to your fiancée Emily!" Aiden yelled.

There was a loud noise and I closed my eyes. When I looked back Daniel was lying on the ground with a bullet in his head.

"Daniel!" I screamed.

{END DREAM}


..........................................................................

"Em? What's wrong?" Daniel asked me grabbing my hand.

I looked around. I was in the car and my body was covered in sweat. My hands were covering my stomach protectively and I looked over at Daniel.

"What happened? You were screaming my name?" Daniel said.
"Ahhh, it was just a dream," I said wiping my forehead.
"Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded and grabbed his hand.

"Where are we?" I asked.
"Still two hours to go," Daniel said. "Go back to sleep."
"I will," I said yawning.

DANIELS P.O.V


Em fell back asleep pretty much straight away and I kept a grip on her hand. She rested her hand over her stomach protectively and I continued to drive into the pitch black of the night.

2 hours later I pulled up out the front of my grandparents house.

"Danny!" My grandma Marie said as I got out of the car.
"Hey nan," I said giving her a hug.
"And where is the beautiful Emily?" She asked.
"She's sleeping. Would you and pop mind getting the bags while I take her to bed. She hasn't been feeling well," I said.
"No problem, you two can sleep in here," she said leading me to the spare room.
"Thank you," I said as my grandpa walked out.
"Daniel!" He said.
"Hey pop, I'm just going to get Em. Can we talk in 5?" I asked.
"No problem, let me come help you with the bags," he said following me out to the car.

I scoped Emily into my arms and off the seat. I carried her inside and laid her gently on the bed where I took off her shoes and pulled the covers over her.

"Daniel," she said fluttering her eyes open.
"Go to sleep baby," I said laying down next to her and stroking her hair.

Minutes later she was asleep, and not long after that I was in a dream of my own.
