Lily's POV

"I won't be long," Alex picked up the backpack and swung it over his shoulder. "Are you sure you don't want to come for the short drive?"

Andy was stood behind Alex, I could tell he was trying to keep his glance away from me as he stared awkwardly at the floor.

"Nah, might just fall asleep in the car anyway."

"Ok." Alex smiled and a hug before heading out with Andy.

I got my phone, opened up the news page and scrolled down to stop at a picture of someone. The silvery gray eyes seemed to stare right through me. Even though it was dark in the ally that night. I knew this guy was the person that attacked me. The nightmares gave it away. His eyes stood out that it was obvious.

The pounding in my chest grew stronger as his words repeated through my mind.

"Oh come on, let's have fun."

The phone slipped out of my grip, landing on the floor with a thump. Tears began to fall. I tried to wipe them away. I was alone, it wasn't the right time for this. It was no good, I found myself sobbing into the couch's arm rest. I couldn't believe he was back in my head.

I blankly stared at the floor to suddenly flinch when I felt a light touch on my arm.

"Lil, it's Jack," with these words I was in his tight embrace. "Hey, hey, hey. What is it?"

I really wanted to blame pregnancy hormones, tell Jack that I'll be fine. I knew better than that. "H-he's back."

Jack glanced to where I was pointing, he picked up my phone and checked it. His eyes widened for a moment before looking back up.

"Guessing this is him," Jack placed the phone down. "The douchebag loser can't hurt you anymore. It's saying he's been shoved in Jail for praying on other girls. He gone," Jack's tone was calm.

"Where's Alex?" I blurted, in hope I'd see him rush in.

"Andy's flight got delayed, A stayed to talk about songs and that jazz."

"Great," I moaned. "How long is he going to be?"

"Dunno Lil. That's why I'm here," Jack replied. "He wanted me to check on ya."

"I'm going to bed," I scooted to the edge of the couch and pushed myself up. Let's hope I get to sleep. Jack instantly held out his arms to help me but I ignored his offer. I headed towards the stairs, Jack followed me to the bedroom.

"Seriously, I'll be fine," I mumbled, in an attempt to bend over for my pyjamas on the floor. Jack managed to grab them before I could even get close to reaching them. Being pregnant sucked. "Jack!"

"Lil," he shoved the top in my direction, "I'm here to help. Having a small human in you can be a serious inconvenience on your ability of certain easy daily tasks but shove that thought out of the window and let go. Relax, let me or anyone else help you. It's an awesome excuse to be so god damn lazy. You deserve it."

That right there is why I loved Jack. He could be so child like but in serious situations he was level headed. I decided to give up and be god damn lazy for the rest of my pregnancy. "You're right."

Jack smiled. "Tell me something I don't know," he passed me my shorts with a chuckle and turned to face the wall, which I took as a hint that he was staying in the room while I got changed.

The thing is Alex normally helped me get changed these days. I began to wriggle out of my trousers when I realised I needed help to pull them off. I looked at Jack stood there. I took a deep breath and opened my mouth. "I need help."

He quickly turned, sat down on the bed. "Sit then," he waved his finger at the empty space next to him. I did. What he did next came as a surprise. He laughed. "Relax," he smiled, reaching over. "Ya know too well you can trust me."

I did, it was just a bit odd with Jack in this situation instead of Alex. I smirked when he closed his eyes when he began to pull my trousers off. Afterwards he tossed them on the floor and began to help me with my pyjama shorts.

Alex's POV

I wanted to get back home to Lily. I missed her and to be honest I was really tired.

"Go home," Andy's voice caught my attention. He grinned and pointed at the flight list. "Flights boarding, thanks for staying. You really didn't have to."

Back home, I unlocked the door and stumbled inside. It was dark. For some reason, I expected Lily to still be awake so I was surprised to find out she wasn't downstairs. I made my way to my...our bedroom. Opened the door to find Jack on top of the duvet with his arm around Lily, she was fast asleep. I thought Jack was too until I heard him speak.

"How do you do it, A?" He carefully took his arm away from Lily and got off the bed.

"Do what?" Jack grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room.

"Get Lily to go to sleep without waking up screaming every few minutes and how the hell did it take you so long to get back? Ya know she freaked out at the news site on her phone. It was the douchebag that tried it on with her before ya went all Batman on her. Seriously Alex, how do you do it?"

"Sing, cuddle her," I began before his words caught up with my mind. "Shit! Lily should have come with me." I barged passed Jack and quickly entered the room, knelt down near the bed as her eyes opened and closed. As soon as she noticed me, she bolted up and shoved her arms around me. "It's ok babe. I'm so sorry I'm late."

"Jack came to help," she leaned back with a huge smile. "He's gone."

I thought she meant Jack. "He's in the hallway."

Lily shook her head. "No not Jack."

Jack's POV

Lily had freaked me the hell out when she woke up screaming for A. I didn't know what to do. All I knew was that Sophie had mentioned something about Lil liking heartbeats so I pulled her into my arms and held her until she fell asleep in my arms. I was glad that A had finally come back. He'd barged passed to rush into the bedroom, which left me alone in the hallway.

I watched them together coming to the decision that I shouldn't be here, seemingly spying on their precious moment. I decided to leave them to it, just to get stopped by Lil's words.

"No not Jack."

"Who?" I smirked at the blankness to A's voice. He was smart but when tirdness hits his brain, I swear it shrinks.

"Alleyway guy..." Lil's voice trailed off.

That was it. This was wrong, stood here listening to their conversation like this so I turned around and made my way down the stairs.
