Leah's pov

I sit silently at the table across from Jord. He was reading a book as he ate his dinner, pretending as if nothing had happened. Ethan was being tended to by a nurse in his room. I pick solemnly at my food. Jord had made it a point that we would now be sharing his bedroom, like he was trying to tempt me into attempting to kill him again.

"Do you know why i put up with you, Leah?"he asks while reading.

"For money."i respond.

"Not only that. You pose a challenge to me."he says, making me look up at him.

"What?"i ask as he takes a sip of wine.

"I said you pose a challenge to me. Yes, I knew it'd be difficult to turn you over when I saw how much you loved my brother, and I do so very much enjoy a challenge."he says.

I chuckle and shake my head.

"Of course you like a challenge."I say, making him raise his eyebrows and smirk.

"Do you realize what Sugar did to you, Leah?"He asks.

"Don't try to pin this on Sugar."i demand.

"He bought you. As property. To use you as leverage against some cop. He would've sold you off if you hadn't fucked him, you know."He says.

I shake my head.

"I don't have to listen to this."I say, standing up. 

"What's wrong Leah? Am I being to real for you? Am I not keeping up with my side of our bargain? Am I not telling you about Sugar?"He asks, standing as well.

He follows me out of the dining room, still speaking.

"Why do you always run away from the truth? Why won't you just accept that the man you love was a monster in all ways, just like his big brother!"he says, grabbing my arm before i could walk up the stairs.

"Let me go."I whimper.

He pulls me back into his chest. 

"Look at me."he demands.

I look at him angrily.

"My goal isn't to be bitter with you! Why aren't you seeing that! Why aren't you seeing that i'm better-"he instantly cuts himself off and I furrow my eyebrows.

"Better? Jord, what's better about this situation?"i ask, folding my arms.

He smirks. 

"You know, I know you just tried to kill me and all, but this explanation requires a trip."he says.

"Jord, I'd rather lick a cheese grater."I say. 

"Fortunately for me, you don't have a choice."he says, pulling me towards the front door and I huff, following behind him.

Suddenly I feel a pain in my hip and I grunt, yanking my hand from Jord's. The pain went from my hip, to my lower back and I gasp.

"What?"Jord says.

I begin to blink rapidly, slowly looking down. I watch as a yellowish liquid begins to run down my leg from my shorts. Shaking, I look back up at Jord, who was still expressing pure confusion. Then he looks down as well, seeing the small puddle forming at my feet. All color drains from his face.

"Oh god."he says as I whimper.

"It can't-it's to early"i whimper before hunching over in pain, feeling the ache in my back and pelvis worsen. 

"Shit!"Without warning Jord picks me up bridal style. 

He rushes me out of the house to his car. 

... ... .. .

Jord instantly wheels me into the ER, and there 2 doctors are waiting.

"What's happening?"one of them asks.

"Her water broke, she's having contractions."Jord says, worry coating his voice.

The doctor looks at me and I smile as best I could in the pain.

"I'm only 6 and a half months."I breathe.

"Oh dear"She says, gripping the handles of my wheelchair and rushing me into an operating room.
