Finally, she came out of the operation room. They put her in one of their hospital beds. I wanted to kill my father so badly. I even told Marie that when she woke up. Her response was "Don't kill him. I want you to be a good example." I was confused on what she was talking about. I held her hand and said, "What are you talking about Marie?" She sighed and said, "Last week when we slept together..." I sighed and said, "You're not pregnant are you?" She nodded and I saw tears streaming down her face. I stood up and kissed her forehead. I looked over at the door and saw a police officer looking at me. I walked over to the door and the officer said: " May I have a word with you?" I nodded and looked at Marie.

He said "Son your father is in our custody. He has been talking and answering our questions." I smile and say "Good because he deserves to be locked up for life." I look down and see the officer playing with his handcuffs. I look back up at the officers eyes and say "Sir are you going to arrest me? Because I am completely innocent in all of this plus my girlfriend is pregnant." He nodded and said "You helped catch the mafia king and we appreciate your help. We are going to put you on probation." I nodded and walked back into the room. I went back to the chair by her bed and say "I am on probation now." She looked at me and said "Why?" I frown and say "Father wanted revenge." Marie sighed and nodded while having her hand on her stomach.

I ask with curiousity "Are you alright baby?" She nods and says "Yeah I am fine." I sigh and question myself. Who am I? Without thinking I look at her and say "We need to run and hide before we are hunted." She knew I was right. She took all of the needles out of her arm and got out of the bed. I smiled and grabbed her hand as we ran down the halls trying to find the exit.

As soon as we were about to leave Brenda walks through the door. I sigh with aggravation. Marie looks at Brenda and says "Your husband has been arrested. You're all alone now. Eric won't stand by your side. No he will stand by Scott's side." Brenda turned her head then looked back at Marie. Brenda says in anger "No I am not alone. See I got Brock's little mafia crew behind me." I laughed and grabbed Marie's arm and ran to the other exit. 

Finally we reached the parking lot and hijacked a car.  We drove and drove until we were running low on gas. We turn off into a gas station and I looked over toward Marie. She has her head against the window and her hand on her bullet wound. I could tell that she is in pain. I frowned and got out of the car. I started pumping the gas and my phone kept dinging.  I got tons of text from mom. I look up at Marie as I take the pump out of the car. 

I knew we were in danger. Marie knew that if we weren't careful that we would be killed in an instant. That is what scared us the most. How would our child live a normal life if we have the mafia chasing us? I knew Marie was as clueless as I was. I got back into the car and drove off. We didn't know where we were going. We just kept going straight. Driving wherever the road was taking us. A car was flashing his headlights behind us. Marie and I both looked at each other and we knew who it was. The driver was one of the mafia men. I was scared, I stepped on the gas hoping that I could get away from him. 

It seemed as if he already knew my every move. When I would step on the gas he would do the same. I could not get away. When I looked over at Marie I noticed that she was getting the gun out of the glove department. She rolled down the window and started shooting at his car. She took a lucky shot and blew one of his front tires.  He swerved and hit a tree. Marie sat back down in her seat and I said "Remind me not to piss you off." She laughed and kissed my cheek. 

We pulled into a motel and got a room. The room was nothing great. It was all we could afford at the moment. I took my shirt off as she fell onto the bed. I walked into the bathroom as she was taking her shoes and bra off. I said while looking in the mirror "Joining his mafia was a big mistake." I heard her sigh as she said "Yeah it was but if we didn' join then we wouldn't have a child on the way or be together." She was right but we also would be safe.

I walk out of the bathroom and get underneath the bed covers. I roll over onto my side and feel her hand wrap around me. She kissed my shoulder and whispered "This will all be over soon." I smile and close my eyes but I couldn't sleep. In the back of my mind there was a what if floating around. What if they barge into the room while we are sleeping? I stared at the wall as I tried to gather my thoughts. Nothing worked I was still thinking of all the bad things that could happen. I turned toward the window as the sun was coming up. I fell asleep finally and didn't wake up until Marie dumped ice water on me. I jumped up and pulled her onto the bed and kissed her.
