The barricade. Juliette and Courfeyrac both had nightmares from the barricade. Enjolras and Combeferre have moved in with Courfeyrac since they were the one, who had planned the whole thing.

Also Juliette was only a few days away from her due date so Combeferre wanted to keep an eye on her. (A/N: this is many months after the barricade happened.) Juliette was suffering from backpain and headaches in the past few days.

"How are you doing?", Courfeyrac asked her after she had woken up because of her nightmare. "I still have horrible nightmares from the barricade.", she said. "So do we. I mean we all sorta fought in it. And what changed? Nothing.", Combeferre said, sitting down next to Juliette. "Enjolras is suffering the same as you. All those nightmares.", Combeferre added.

"I wish they were still here. I mean, Feuilly, Bahorel, Bossuet, Eponine.", she said. "I wanna know where Pontmercy went. After Eponine died, he disappeared.", Enjolras said, rubbing his eyes. "Probably looking for that nameless girl.", Courfeyrac said and they laughed. Except for Juliette. "Hey, what's wrong?", Courfeyrac asked after he saw her wince in pain. "Juliette, talk to me." "The baby just kicked, it's nothing."

"Do you still have those headaches?", Combeferre asked. She nodded. "I can't wait until this child is out of me. It is definitely like Courfeyrac.", she said. "That's not nice.", Courfeyrac said laughing. "I think we should all head back to bed. And with we, I mean Enjolras and myself.", Combeferre said and got up.

Enjolras and Combeferre left their shared bedroom and went to theirs. The night ended fast and was uneventful. Juliette couldn't sleep because of the pain she felt. But the next morning looked a lot different.

"Good morning you both.", Enjolras said, "we should prepare for another Revolution." "Give us a break buddy.", Combeferre said. Courfeyrac was rubbing Juliettes back. "Are you fine?" She nodded. Combeferre looked in her face. "Liar! Juliette, you're not fine. Tell me, I'm a doctor."

"I said I was fine.", she snapped. She had terrible mood swings. Sometimes she would snap at someone and then she would break out in tears. This was the case right here. She broke out in tears and cried her heart out.

"It's fine Juliette. Just tell Combeferre what is going on. You're worrying me.", Courfeyrac whispered in her ear. "It's hurting. Everywhere.", she said after she had calmed. Which surprisingly went quickly.

"Where does it hurt?", Combeferre asked. "Everywhere. I just said you idiot.", she snapped. "I'm sorry", she added. "It's fine. Grantaire had called me an idiot a million of times.", Combeferre said. "Why?", Courfeyrac asked. "He thought I was Enjolras.", he explained.

"Juliette, lay back down. Courfeyrac, you follow me.", Combeferre said. After they walked into another room, Combeferre spoke. "I think the baby is will be here today. She's in pain. Maybe it would be a good idea to take her to the hospital.

"Okay, then let's do it.", Courfeyrac said. He walked into the bedroom and lifted Juliette up in bridal style. She squealed. "What are you doing?" "I'm taking you somewhere."

(A/N: so this is almost the end. One chapter left! So it's time for predictions: what do you think the baby will be? A boy or a girl? How will they name it? Leave your thoughts on this chapter below [btw, last chapter will be up today. I'm so sad that it's almost over. 😥])
