He wasn't supposed to be following us, heck he was even supposed to near us. Desmond turns around and punches a tree-
"Hey, Desmond, What did that tree ever do to you?" Ben states. Desmond flashes him the evil eye and Ben raises his arms.
"He's going after our baby, he's been told his part in this." Desmond says in a deep voice. He walks over to me grabbing my hand,
"Desmond, running away from him isn't the answer." Ben says. He stops, turns his head, his eyes glowing a crimson red.
"I'm not Going to loose them.You haven't seen what he's done- you have no Idea what he's capable of destroying." he's talking about his family, Jeremy tried telling me that Desmond killed his family for the sake of power, becoming the strongest one but I knew that about Jeremy before i even met him. Desmond acts tough and he is, but he is also sensitive and Family is one of those sensitive topics. I thought maybe Desmond didn't want to have the baby but he does, but he wants me too and he knows he can't. Ben and his wife look at each other and then at us, Ben shakes his head,
"You can't runaway from this. Those things I said about that baby were not true. That baby is going to bring you happiness Desmond." He emphasizes Desmond, he's telling me what I already know. Desmond heard it to because his head looks at me and then back at Ben.
"Ben, please come with us." I say grabbing his arm. I see a bright light, a bunch of images flash in front of my eyes and just like him with me, a tear falls down my face.
"Come on Desmond, we have to go." I grab Desmond's hand and walk west. I look behind me, Ben and his wife disappear in ashes. They were never really here to begin with. Those things he showed me, they're back at the tree- there is going to be a war there which will buy us time to get further away- they'll live but they'll loose a lot of there people. Jeremy will have figured out where we're at and by the time he does, I'll be three weeks before I'm due. That's when I stopped seeing my future, I don't know what happens after that.
Desmond lifts me on his back and begins to run,
"What about Majika, gabe and Ama? Where are they?" I yelled.
"Majika and Gabe have been at the cabin this whole time- as I told you before I don't trust Ama, not yet. And she doesn't trust me." He yells back.

Desmond takes us to the airport on a flight to London that has a few stops, I'm so ready to go back to London, it may not be home but it's close enough. I rub my stomach in a circular rotations to comfort the baby- I don't know if it does anything. Desmond is staring out the window of the plane, at take this moment and whisper something in his name. We didn't get to finish this conversation because of the 'let's food Alannah and shoot Desmond' plan. He looks at me, smiling
"I love that name, It fit's the baby perfectly." Desmond brings me in for a kiss- I lean my forehead against Desmond's.
"Desmond, Ben shared my future, or at least some of it-" I wanted to leave him out of my thoughts, the reason I didn't see my baby as a kid or teen is because I am not in it.
"I'll be 3 weeks before my due date when Jeremy finds us.and he'll have a hell of a lot more people than before. But I don't know how it all ends, or begins."

We finally made it! Desmond helps me out of the car and grabbing the back from the trunk. We close the door to the car and approach the cabin. I breath in the lovely London air,
"It's so good to be back." I smile.
"Alannah!!" Majika yells and runs to me, then stopping, she takes a good look at me,
"Wow, you've gotten a rounder bump." She places her hands on my stomach,
"you make me sound fat, I'm only two months pregnant." I pout and then smile. She gives me a hug, I missed them.
I walk away with Majika, passing Gabe. He knuckles the top of my head gently.
"Where did you go?"
"It was weird, I was carried into a tree and entered a different realm. Desmond said it wasn't safe for us to come back, so we had to spend four of five days there- it was all kind of a blur."
"We saw Jeremy show up at the school, he luckily didn't know about the cabin or.." She didn't have to finish. She drags me into the kitchen and pours me a glass of the blood from New Zealand. It's so weird saying that now, or since I became a vampire. I feel like I drink so much,
"So do you know the gender?"
"Yeah I do." I say sipping on the drink. I nod my head and look at her.
"Are you going to tell me?" I shake my head,
"Nope." She shrinks and I laugh. the only ones who know are me, Desmond and... my Mom. I wonder where she is? Doesn't she know about the cabin? I shake my head to try and forget about that memory.

Everyday is a waiting game. Especially for me and Desmond, we're- he's waiting for answers that I already know. When we came home yesterday I told Gabe everything Ben let me see so we've come up with another game plan. But this one doesn't include me stepping into the fight, if i'm going to be that close to birth I don't need to fight. Because it's only the three of them and much more of Jeremy's men they have to be smart so Majika is going to use the form she used on me when Desmond and I were going shopping last year- Hella scary form. Gabe is going to remove his cloak and mask to unlock most of his power and try to not loose control and Desmond? well, he's going to be desmond.
I look out the window of the cabin, I'm so nervous this is all going to happen in less than a month. I'm only seventeen and I'm going to die for the third time. I felt his hands wrapping around me, kissing my neck and I close my eyes feeling the electricity.
"I love you," He whispers in my ear.
"I love you too."
Desmond is the love of my life, and I wish we had more time.
