Jenna woke up in hospital with Caitlin beside her, “Huh? What?” she said. Caitlin said “Don’t worry, you fainted, they’re just checking you’re okay” and then Lauren burst into the room, “Oh God, Jenna!” She yelled as she walked in and hugged her, “You alright?” Jenna suddenly got tense and fidgety “yeah, fine, let’s get out of here” and then the doctor walked in. “I’ll see you later,” Caitlin said and she was out the room in seconds.



“Well don’t worry, everything’s fine” and Jenna’s eyes widened far, almost as if they would fall out of her eye sockets. “She can go home?” Lauren asked. The doctor said, “She’ll have to have an ultrasound, but from what I can guess, there was no bleeding so the baby should be fine”

Lauren let out a nervous laugh, “You’re joking?” and she looked at Jenna’s guilty face, “She’s joking, right? Jenna?” and Jenna gulped. The doctor looked embarrassed, “Oh I thought you knew, her notes mention that she’s pregnant. Erm, I’ll go” and she left them both in the room, together. It was silent as time dragged on, Lauren looked angry, confused and bewildered all in one. She suddenly turned her head to Jenna, “Pregnant?” she said.



“Laura, please let me explain,” and Lauren interrupted, “You could have told me! How far along are you? Who’s the father?” and Jenna said “Laura, one question at a time, please” and Lauren started crying “I thought we told everything to each other, why?” and Jenna snapped “Because I didn’t want to upset you because you can’t have a baby!”

Lauren was shocked, she knew there was a reason but she didn’t want her problems to get in the way of Jenna’s, she was always like a mother to her. “Yo- You wouldn’t have…” She stuttered, “How… how far along are you?” Jenna was quiet a moment, then she said “About four months” and Lauren put her hand to her head as she staggered.



Back at Caitlin’s, they all stared at the TV. The national news was all over Brian’s story. “Bloody TV,” Natalie said, “Always reminding you of stuff you don’t wanna know”



DING DONG

“Ugh!” Natalie moaned. Julie got up and walked downstairs to the door, “I’ll get it,” Natalie looked worried, “Got your spray bottle?” She said. Julie nodded.

She opened the door and a man stood there, it was the man who saved her that night, it was Ryan. “You’re the…” She struggled, “You’re the man from… that night” He nodded, “Yes… Yes, I am” and she stood, stunned. “I just wanted to see if you were okay, now. What he did was evil” he said to her. She was still in shock and said “Yeah… I’m… fine…”



“I’m sorry for my brother, I just want you to know I’m nothing like him” She looked at him, “Brother? You’re his brother?” and he scratched his head, “Yeah” She looked at him closely, “You look pretty young,” She said to him, a little confused. “Yeah, my mother had Brian pretty young, nineteen to be exact, then fifteen years later she had me at thirty-four, so I’m thirty-three” he explained. She was a little more calm now, “Oh, about my age then? I’m thirty-three, nearly thirty-four”



They struck up conversation and got on pretty well, there was even a bit of chemistry. They got on well and exchanged phone numbers, she didn’t think that they’d get on. She found out about all the things Brian did to people, and when she found out he killed his own mother, she was shocked and even more disgusted.
