we're so close to 100k!

"i want you to keep the baby"

my eyes widen as i look up at joey, "what?"

he ignores eye contact, "if you don't want to get a abortion i won't force you"

i furrow my brows at him. is this the same joey that was begging me to get rid of it? "joey... are you sure"

he finally looks in my eyes, he looks hurt, his eyes are close to crying but he's good at covering it up. he plays with my hair as i stare at into his eyes

"yea" the words faintly come out

"what's wrong, you look upset" i hold his face in my hands

"i just want you to be happy at the end of the day baby" he sighs

i don't know what to say. i'm taunted with what i did with ethan, it was one of my biggest mistakes, but getting an abortion would hurt me even more

i would live with the thought of not having something that was a piece of me

"do you think the kids will hate me" i ask him

he's quite, i hurt him so much. i ruined the man i love the most in the world, i left him because i was mad and went to ethan for help

he shrugs his shoulder in his black hoodie that sophia picked out for him last year on christmas

if joey hated me for what i did i can't imagine what sophia and jay will think. that their mother made love to someone else who wasn't their father

"don't put pressure on yourself, the kids will love you no matter what. we need to move on and our biggest priority is to have them home with us" joey caress my cheek

"you're right" i whisper

i squeeze him closer to me and close my eyes as my head lays on his chest, his heart is racing, i take a deep breath, "joey?"

"hm"

i look up at him, "i love you"

"i love you more" he says back

ethans pov

katie is standing by the door where sophia and jay are, they are watching tv right now and having some food

even though katie has the biggest crush on me, she  refuses to let me in

i know those kids aren't mine but i have a connection with them, i in some way raised them too. i just want to see how they are doing

"if giovanni finds you down here he'll kill you" katie smirks

i already punched giovanni in the face a couple weeks ago which led him to be more tougher on me

meaning i no longer can go out and check on elena, he sent out someone else. he sent pakis to spy on her, and pakis is going to do what giovanni wants

abduct her

they're going to hurt her and my damn baby and i won't let that happen. i need to figure out a way to get out without him noticing

"let me see them katie" i walk closer to her

"not going to happen dolan" she shakes her head, she knows i hate getting called by my last name

"come on kate" i frown and her eyes lit up

i've never called her by a nickname. i notice her cheeks starting to turn red, "no one will find out"

she smiles, "we have cameras in there"

"pakis is out, no one is on security duty right now" i remind her and she crosses her arms

"you know if giovanni finds out i let you in there he will kill me"

so what's the problem?

"i won't let him touch you" i lie

her eyes start to sparkle, she pulls herself off the door and takes out the keys

my heart starts racing because this is going to be the first time i have seen the kids

the door slowly opens and i am taken in a room that looks exactly like jays old room

the blue walls, rug, bed and even the bed sheets. it is a copy of jays room. i know giovanni told me to take some pictures of the room but i didn't know it would be identical to it

i hear the door close behind me, i look over and see jay and sophia watching tv with gold fish on there plate

when they look up at me there eyes light up, "ethan!" they run towards me

i go down on my knees and hug both of them

"he's here to save us, i told you jay!" sophia pushes her brother

sophia looks beautiful, i haven't seen them in years, they have gotten so much older. jay is starting to look just like joey

"is my dad here?" jay ask me

i notice sophia has started to cry, "why are you crying?" i ask her

"i miss my mom, please take me to see her" sophia squeezes my arm

"where are we? why are we here? are they going to kill us?" jays innocent voice shakes

"it's okay guys, you are safe here for right now" i try to comfort them

"how? we haven't seen our parents in 2 months" jay says

"if you don't stay here someone will kill you"

sophia gasp, "we're going to die?"

"no no no, if you don't listen to katie or refuse to do anything we ask you too, you can die. your lives are in danger"

"are you here to save us ethan?" sophias big eyes glare at me

a silence falls between us, i don't to give them false hope because i don't know how all of this will end

"i'm working on it"

jay takes a step back, "no you're not, you are apart of them!"

sophia starts to scream

"hey hey shush" i grab sophia and cover her mouth, "i am not apart of them"

"you are wearing a GB jacket. that's what they are all wearing" jay points

sophia bites my hand and throws a punch in my balls making me fall to the floor

they run to the door and start screaming for help
