Hope Springs Eternal: A Liam and Hope Romance

Chapter 12

 “Where are you taking me, officer?” Hope demanded to know. “I was on my way to talk someone when you stopped me.”

“You'll find out soon enough, miss.” was all the fake officer told her.

Hope sat back in the seat and waited to see where she was being taken to, since they had passed the police station. “Damn, these handcuffs sure were uncomfortable.” Hope thought to herself.

Fifteen minutes later, the fake cop pulled into an abandoned building that Hope didn't recognize. The fake cop opened Hope's door and grabbed her arm as he led her to an empty room with just a chair. He told her to sit.

Ten minutes later, the door opened, and Quinn walked in.

“Well, well, well, Hope.” Quinn said. “I got the news that you're pregnant.”

“How do you know that, Quinn?” Hope demanded. “I haven't even told anyone yet.”

“I was hiding in the closet when you and my son were at the doctor having your pregnancy test done.” Quinn admitted.

“Why you bitch!”

“I'm glad I did, because it would be a shame if I never knew about my grandchild, because you cut me out off.”

“You're crazy, Quinn, and I don't want you around my child!” Hope said, angrily.

“Listen up, girl! Over my dead body will you keep my son or my grandchild from me!”

“I don't want you around this baby, Quinn!” Hope told her. “Besides, Wyatt isn't even the baby's father!”

As soon as Hope admitted that Wyatt wasn't the baby's father, she instantly regretted after seeing the look of horror on Quinn's face.

“What?!” Quinn shrieked. “How the hell can that be?!

Hope was silent not wanting to tell Quinn who the father was.

“It's Liam! You cheated on my son and now you're pregnant with Liam's child!”

Hope just looked at her.

“Yes, Quinn, I am pregnant with Liam's child, and I want a divorce from Wyatt. I can't be married to your son when I am having someone's else's child!”

“Over my dead body will you ever leave Wyatt!” Quinn shrieked again. “You signed a contract and you will pass that baby off as Wyatt's!”

“Fine, Quinn, you win!” Hope said, lying to her, so she could just leave and tell Liam the truth.

“Good. I'm glad you came to your senses.” Quinn said, unlocking the cuffs on Hope's wrists.

“Now, can I go and celebrate the news with Wyatt?” Hope lied again.

“Yes.” Quinn said. “And Hope, I'll be watching you.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Hope said back.

“Bitch!” Hope said, under her breath.

When Hope walked far enough away from the warehouse and away from Quinn, Hope dialed Liam's cell.

“Liam, it's Hope.”

“Yes, Hope, what is it?”

“Can you come get me at the park? We need to talk.”

“Sure, Hope, I'm on my way.”

As Hope waited for Liam to pick her up, she wondered how Liam would take the news that she was pregnant and he was the father.
