The next morning I wake up early, way too early for me anyway. The effects of pregnancy is starting to come through, my feet are big and swollen. They hurt a lot too, I groan and someone knocks on the door. "Come in!" I shout.
Titus walks in the room and leans against the wall, "I told him to leave. I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be f***ing Spider-Man and climb up to the window."
This makes me laugh, "it's okay. I let him say what he wanted then I made him leave. If he stayed any longer I feared what I would do." He walks over to the bed and sits at the end and looks at me.
"So... have things sorted out?" He asks tentatively. I sigh and rub my face with my hands, everything has worn me out lately. I just want to go home and lay in bed with Val while eating food and watching movies. But I can't because I'm mad at him. I need to keep reminding myself of that fact.
"Not quite, but we'll get there eventually," I smile. He smiles and nods, "thank you for everything. I really really appreciate it all."
"I would do it again," he chuckles softly and stands up walking to the door. He stops when he's in the frame, "breakfast is on the bench." Then he walks off leaving me and my thoughts.
Something tells me that Val will come again today, he won't give up. It kinda makes me happy how much he is trying, maybe he does want the baby and all that was said was out of fear. "Lord help me," passes my lips as my feet touch the floor.
I walk out of the room slowly and down the stairs, I eventually get there and begin eating. The sound of someone clearing their throat makes me turn my attention to behind me. Nova. "Will-" I cut her off with so much anger.
"No Nova. Leave! I can't see you because is what you did, you never let me decide for myself do you? Well you should have because maybe Valentino's reaction would have been different, I was going to tell him when I was ready!" I find it so hard to try and forgive her at the moment when I haven't said what needs to be said.
"Were you though? None of us believed for one second that you were going to tell him and he deserved to know! I highly doubt his reaction would be anything different than what it was. This is so typical of Willow! When someone tries helping you, you get mad about it and don't talk to them even though they were trying to be nice!" She yells.
"MAYBE THEY WERENT ACTUALLY HELPING! MAYBE I DIDNT WANT HELP?! Did you ever think of that? You need to stop making decisions for other people and trying to control their lives. It's not getting you far, is it?" I spit, my eyes turning into slits. I feel so so angry, I want to punch something or should I say someone. I have every right to be angry with her, I'm going to be angry with her.
"As usual I'm trying to pick up your mess! IF ONLY YOU WERE MORE CAREFUL THEN THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED! Maybe you should get rid of this poor baby that has you as a mother," Nova spits back. I gasp, my eyes widening and I stare at her with wide eyes. She seriously just said that? I go completely silent, it is then that she realises what she just said. She places her hand over her mouth. And everyone wanted me to forgive her. Maybe I was going to, but this Nova isn't my old best friend.
"OI!" Someone with so much rage and authority roars, barging into the house like a raging bull and glaring so hard at Nova. "Don't you f***ing ever say that again you b***h, you should leave before I make you leave!" Valentino is so so angry. He looks at me, his eyes softening and he walks over to me. Tentatively he reaches up and wipes a fallen tear, he spins around to face Nova.
"I-I-"
"Didn't mean it? Well I said something I didn't mean and I regret it. You should really watch what you say, I've learned the hard way and Willow has every right to be mad at you for saying that nonsense. So do I. Now get out, don't talk to my girlfriend, don't talk about my baby like that, don't even f***ing speak." He looks so intimidating as he glares down at her, breathing heavily with his jaw and fists clenched.
She leaves silently, after she's left Val turns back around to face me. How can I be so mad at him after he says that? "You still have a lot of making up to do mister," I mutter with a small smile. He chuckles and pulls me in for a hug, I hug him back- sobbing into his chest.
"And I will make it up to you until the day I die," he whispers looking down at me with relief and love. I don't know if this is wrong or right, to let him kiss me on the lips. Should I forgive him? I'm not going to forgive him completely but it's a start.
"Val-" he presses his index finger to my lips, shooshing me.
"Let's just go home and pretend this never happened for a bit. But not forever," he adds at the end. I let him lead me outside to his car and open the door for me, then help me in then run around the car to get in the drivers seat. He places his hand on my thigh as he steers with his other hand.
We drive into his driveway and he parks the car. There's cars already here, including Jarrad's and Amalia's. I take a deep breath, Val squeezes my thigh gently and we both get out of the car. As we walk through the front door, everyone looks at us. Amalia has this sad look on her face and I sigh walking over to her, "it's okay Am. I forgive you."
"Really? You don't have to," I shake my head and smile. Maybe I would have forgiven Nova if she hadn't said that. I see Mike, he walks over to Val and they discuss something quietly. Valentino looks very angry though.
"It's okay," I smile. She smiles back and all the girls surround me, welcoming me home. Arms wrap around my waist and I lean back against the man that's holding me. "Val, can we make everyone go home? I just wanna have a peaceful day and night with you," he nods.
"Okay everyone, go p*ss off and do your own thing! Out of me house!" He laughs as Landon drops to the floor and grabs his ankle.
"Don't do this to me baby! I thought you loved me!" Gosh I missed this, I'm glad everything is going back to the way it was.
"Okay okay, leave now..." rejection. Landon stands, pouting. Eventually they all leave with smiles on their faces. I spin around to face Val and he places his hand on my stomach. He rubs my stomach and smiles, I stare up at him. How can I not forgive him? I'm trying so hard to hold my ground and be mad at him, but it's so so hard when he's doing this stuff and saying all these things.
"Val," I whisper. He looks down at me, "do you want this baby?" He wraps his arms around my waist and nuzzles his head on my neck.
"I want this baby. And because it's with you, I want this baby so much more." He cups my cheek and leans down to kiss me, "wait. You're not mad at me still, are you?" He asks.
Sighing, I look at the ground. "I-I can't just forget what happened ya know? But you're getting to the forgiven point," he cracks a smile and shrugs.
"I'll take that. As long as you forgive me, I'll give you as long as you want," I smile and he pecks me on the lips quickly before I can react.

The next morning I woke up feeling as if something wasn't right, Val wasn't next to me and everything ached. I reach over and grab my phone, just as I'm about to message Val- the door opens and he comes strolling in. "Val," I whisper.
"You okay?" He asks in worry, I shrug feeling as if I'm about to vomit. My eyes water and he comes over to me, "morning sickness?" I shrug.
"Can we go to the doctors?" He nods and lifts me bridal style. He carries me all the way to the car and places me in the passenger seat, then runs around the car to get in the drivers seat. I lean my head back and sigh, he places his large warm hand on my thigh.
The car ride is silent, he parks the car and gets out then runs around to help me. Val rushes into the doctors, "she needs to see a doctor right now!"
"Sir, you're going to have to wait," the receptionist says calmly. He walks over to her, his jaw clenched and a fire in his eyes.
"You're going to let my pregnant girlfriend see a doctor right freaking now, do you get it? Maybe someone else will suffer the consequences for your actions," he growls. Her eyes widen and she types something on her computer then looks at us.
"You can get in right now Sir," he smiles and she makes him follow her with me in his arms. "This couple is here to see you about her pregnancy," the receptionist says. The doctor who is an old lady with wrinkles and a soft kind face nods with a small smile. Receptionist lady walks out and Val sits me down, she observes me.
"So what might be the problem?" She asks.
"I feel like there's something wrong, could you please check?" She nods and grabs all the equipment needed out. She instructs me to lay on the bed and she smears the gel over my stomach and looks at the screen. Her face is so focused and a look of surprise appears. "Is something wrong?" I panic.
"No. No. Of course not, it's just.... you're having twins," Valentino's mouth drops open and so does mine. This is shocking to all of us, two babies? Can I handle that? Can Val handle that? "Isn't this exciting children?" I keep watching Val, waiting for him to leave. But he doesn't, he looks at me and smiles.
I smile right back at him.

"Val this is a big responsibility and I know I may be asking a lot of you but I just want our children to live the best lives. I think you should quit smoking, it's a start to everything..." he stares outside.
"You're asking me to stop doing what I've known for years, sure I'll stop smoking. But the gang? That's all I've ever known all my life, it's going to be hard for me," Valentino runs a band through his hair in stress and I sigh sitting on his lap.
"I know it's going to be hard, we don't expect it to be easy. But sometimes you need to give things up for the good of it, I believe in you- I know you can make your own business or something. We will all believe in you," I kiss his cheek.
"Maybe I can be a hitman? But I can own the business of all hitmen," I raise my eyebrows and he sighs. "Right, that's a little drastic..." I nod.
The phone rings and Val answers, "wow calm down.. Mike, talk slowly mate. Oh sh*t is she okay? We're coming!" He hangs up the phone and I look at him in confusion.
"Nova has been shot in the stomach by Christopher Collin, leader of the gang that has been after us for years."
