Chapter Twenty

I snuggle into Turner, feeling his warmth and hold him, pulling myself as close to him as possible. Despite the comfort of his presence I can't asleep. The question keeps coming to my mind; "What if it's not his?"

Awhile later I give up trying to sleep, so I decided to head out into the main room. I find out that the shower is broken so I decided  fix it. I have nothing better to do. 

Laura comes in to help mop the puddles of water in the floor while I try to stop the spraying water from the spicket. She constantly complains, she doesn't even know how good she has it compared to what I had to go through.

Me - When you're done I need to talk to you.

Laura - Um,okay.

After getting the bathroom taken care we both head upstairs to her room.

Laura - So what did you want to talk to me about.

Me - It wasn't stress...

Laura - What, no offence but um, are you sure?

Me - I went to the hospital and got a pregnancy test. I'm pregnant.

She looked at me nervously.

Laura - May I?

Me - Sure.

Once again sick to my stomach, throwing up my breakfast, I find myself in the bathroom. Morning sickness is a bitch.

I lay back on the bed trying to let my stomach settle after throwing up. Turner lays next to me running a hand along my arm.

Turner - Are you alright?

Me - Yeah, just morning sickness. It sucks but it's perfectly normal.

Turner - If you're sure.

Me - I'm fine Turner. If it will make you feel better I'll talk to Laura about it alright?

He knows I'm teasing but still tells me it would. 

Turner brought home a couple pregnancy books and we read them together. I wish I knew for sure that the baby is his. I don't know why, it doesn't matter. His or not it will be raised as such. 

Me - Turner, it's kicking.

He smiles at me,placing a hand on my stomach to feel.

Turner - Is there anything I can do for you?

Me - I'll be alright. 

I wince stretching, my back sore and he rubs my shoulders and back.

Me - Mmm.

Turner - Better?

Me - Yes.

I've been taking full advantage of having a nurse in the house and visit with Laura regularly. Unfortunately today she had to complain about everything and even ended up telling me I'm a bad person.

Me - You have no idea how much I've done for you.

Laura - For me? You mean to me.

Me - No, for you. I told you before I used to be were you are. Think what you will about me but I have done everything to make sure you have things better then I ever did. All you have to do is clean. I still do all the cooking, I still fix everything, because after six years I've gotten good at it but you have no idea how many times I almost died fixing things and I make sure you don't have to do that. You have an actual bedroom thanks to me, were as it took me almost a year just to get a bed, and that outfit you always complain so much about, thats nothing compared to what I was made to wear. 

 Laura - And this is supposed to change my opinion of you why? That doesn't make up for anything. 

Me - I'm not trying to make up for anything, I just don't want you to go though everything I did. Slave or girl were the better things I was called, I call you by name.

She look me in the eyes and there is suddenly a slight hint of deviousness. 

Laura - No you don't.

Me - Yes, I call you Laura. Thats the name you gave me.

She smiles.

Laura - I lied.

Well I wasn't expecting that. She seemed so sweet and shy when I picked her out. I think of asking what her name is but realize it doesn't really make a difference. 

Riley catches me as I leave "Laura's" room and asks to feel the baby.

My old room has been remodeled into being just a kitchen, and a very nice one at that, and the washer and dryer moved to the main room. 

I enjoy the new kitchen , cutting cheese to have some cheese and crackers.

After eating I talk to "Laura," still don't know what else to call her.

"Laura" - You're starting to get pretty big, not long now.

She then goes to talk to Turner about something and I listen in.

"Laura"- I'm no idiot, I know what goes on here and I know you're the one in charge. Now, would you be able to um, acquire somethings from the hospital? 

Is she asking him to steal something?

Turner - Like what?

"Laura"-  Mostly pain drugs, for the birth. She know she's decided to do things here but I think it would be best. I used to help with birthing quite often and I know that natural birth is generally not preferred.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of this. It's moments like this that remind me she is smart... despite her little thing with Adam. 

"Laura" - She could still chose nature birth if she wants but this way we can have things here if not.

Turner - I see, I'm sure I can arrange something.

ENJOY.

Laura's words kept repeating in my head. Could I be pregnant? I head to the hospital to find out for sure. I don't trust those home tests and I want a professional opinion. 

I head into town, I had told Turner about Kitty and the three of us are meeting up. I'm meeting her first and he'll be there a little later. Though I told them, this will be their first time meeting. Walking in, I hug Kitty. She was actually not surprised to learn that I've gone back, I didn't realize I was that predictable, but maybe she just knows me that well. That her birth mother was his sister, however, now that surprised her. She had always known that she was adopted and all her parents knew about it was that there was no father involved in the adoption, but she was never interested in finding out more. She assumed her mother didn't want her, used to tell me she wanted as much to do with her mother as I do mine, so image her reaction to all of this. Seeing them together I can't help but marvel at how much they look alike and to wonder how I didn't realize it sooner. I mean yes when I left and when I first saw Kitty I thought right way that she looked like him but how did I know realize before that, that he looks like her? 

After staring at Kitty for a moment, Turner surprises me pulling out a bunch of flowers.

We all sit and talk and just generally hang out and then I get a phone call. 

Me - Hello. 

 Kitty - I should get going.

I hug her goodbye, telling the person on the phone to hold on a minute.

Kitty - This was fun. See you soon?

Me - Definitely. 

 Me - Yes. Really? Thank you.
I hang up, smile on my face.
Turner - What was that?
Me - I was just informed that I got into law school at the University.
Turner - Oh?
Me - I'll probably become criminal defense, or maybe private law, certainly not prosecution though, with my life. We both laugh.

Later back at home my phone goes off yet again. The hospital, my test results.

Me - Hello? Yes. Okay. Thank you.

Hanging up I run to the bathroom and throw up.

Turner - Something wrong?

I just sigh as I sit on the edge of the bed.

He sits up next to me, pulling me into his arms as I leaned into him closing my eyes.

Turner - What is it Hayley? Tell me what's wrong.

Opening my eyes, I look up at him.

Me - I...

Turner - Hmm?

Me - I'm pregnant. 

Turner - That's whats upsetting you? 

Me - I know I should maybe feel better about this but...I don't know, I just got into law school and even if not for that I'm still really young. 

I close my eyes again, a failed attempt to fight back the tears I know are flowing down my cheeks.

Me - And... and I can't stop wondering, what if...what if...

My voice brakes, cutting me short.

Turner - What if it's not mine?

I nod though tears, unable to speak. 

Turner - When you talked about going back to that old boyfriend, you said you did everything to change how you felt. You meant you slept with him? 

Again I just nod and then pull myself out of his arms standing, and take a few steps away before looking back at him a moment.

Turner - I had assumed as much.

Looking away again I hear him stand from the bed.

Turner - You think I care? It's as you said, you belong with me.

His arms wrap around me again and again I lean into him.

Turner - We belong together Hayley, nothing will change that. No matter what, I love you.

I slides his arm down so that his hand is on my stomach.

Turner - Both of you. 

Me - I know that. And I know it's possible the father is Shawn, he's a good man, what really upsets me, when I found out I might be, counted back and what really has me upset more then anything is, he might not be the only other possibility.

Turner - Adam.

I can feel his body stiffen as he speaks releasing me and stepping away.

Tuner - I'll kill 'em! I should have then. I wanted to. 

Me - No.

Turner - I'd have thought you'd be glad to be rid of him.

Me - I don't want anyone dying because of me, not even him. You've already punished him and he's not done anything new.

 

This time I wrapped my arms around him.

Turner - Alright. Has I've already told him though,he even thinks of touching you again his dead. I won't let him hurt you. 

Me - I understand.

I pull my arms around him tighter,resting my head against his shoulder.

Me -  I feel better about all of this now. I should be happy about this. 

Turner - Mhmm.

Me - I'll figure out about law school, I'm going to be a lawyer just like my dad. I'm gonna be a lawyer and... and a mother.

Turner - You'll be a good mother.

Me - I know, I have you and I know you're going to be a great father.

Turner - Me, a father. I like the sound of that.

Me - Yes, you're going to be a father, and I'm gonna be a mother,as well as a lawyer.

I start to kiss his neck then whisper in his ear. 

Me - Seems we've got alot to celebrate.

He turns and smiles, raising an eyebrow.

Me - Just sit back.

I remove my headband as he sits, letting my hair fall around my shoulders. I shake my hair before beginning to slowly undress. Done I walk and remove his pants and boxers before climbing into his lap, caressing his face.

I run my hands down his shoulders and along his chest, and under his shirt. He raises his arms to slip the shirt over his head and take it and push him back.

I hold myself over him. 

Me - What do you want?

I quote his own past question back to him.

Turner - Nothing.

Me - Nothing?

Turner - I have everything.

Turner - I have you.

Sitting up he pulls me as close as possible and begins to kiss me all over. He continue's to kiss me, exciting me till I can't take it.

Me - Enough. I want you, now! 

Me - Just take me. Ravage me!

He does that, leaning me back and our bodies join as one. I wrap myself around him, gripping at his flesh and kiss his neck and shoulder.

Me - Owh. Harder. Yes, Turner, yes. AH! Oh god. TURNER!

We lay together and I stare at him. He's perfect, I'm so lucky. I wish I'd realized sooner then I did how right we are. This baby is going to be his... even if it's not.

Chapter Eighteen

This blog is rated M for Mature readers. I will not say that anyone can not read this but if you have an issue with the Very ADULT subject matter remember that you where warned. 

ENJOY.

Laura - Oh Adam.

Adam - Shh.

Softly he kisses her again.

The way he holds her... it looks so caring and gentle. Someone else, someone who doesn't know better may think it's just that, but I do know better.

Still locked in a kiss, they turn so now it's his back to me.

Laura - I haven't been kissed like that in so long. 

Adam - I'd hope not my dear.

My dear? My dear? I don't understand why he's bothering with this charade. How does she not see through him? I had no trouble tricking her into following me here, but I still thought she was smarter than this. 

Laura - It's getting late, I should go.

Stepping out of his arms she starts to walk towards the door, and towards me. SHIT!

Adam - Wait.

He grabs her, again his grip appears gentle. 

Laura - I'm a little tired I should head to bed.

He pulls her back into his arms.

Adam - Don't go. I have a couch in here. You can use my bed. Just, don't go.

Oh, he is good. If I didn't know better... but I do. He's playing her, he has to be, it's Adam. But why? 

Laura - I don't know, you said you don't what the rest of them to know.

Adam - I don't. It's better that way, safer, for both of us. But I don't want you to go either.

He leans in whispering something in her ear before kissing her cheek and I see a slight smile creep across her lips. She leans in putting her arms around him and resting her head on his chest.

Laura - I know. 

She knows? Knows what?

He watches her lie down.

Adam - Sleep well.

I flicks off the lamp before laying down himself.

Clearly I'm not going to talk to her right now, so I head to bed myself.

I climb into bed. The dog who I've just been calling Fluffy Puppy jumps up on Turner's side of the bed. Half asleep I talk to him.

Me - Hey there boy. You're gonna have to get down soon.

Fluffy Puppy settles on the floor next to me as I curl up to Turner.

 Turner props him self up on one elbow as I smooth the bedspread.

Turner - Going somewhere?

Me - Just to take a morning shower.

I smile at him and raise an eyebrow.

Me - Join me.

Removing my cami and bottoms, I discard them in the hamper before heading towards the bathroom. 

Me - You coming?

We press close against one another the water and steam rolling over us and share a passionate kiss.

His lips leave mine and go to my neck. 

He moves his hands down my back to my hips and along my legs. His voice is low and his breath hot on my skin as he murmurers my name .

 Turner - Hayley.

We both slip down onto our knees.

Me - I love you.

I cup his face and bring his lips to meet mine.

He pushes me back against the floor and stares into my eyes through the water and the steam surrounding us. 

Turner - What do you want Hayley?

Me - You Turner, I want you.

Returning to his knees he reaches up to turn off the water before putting his hand out for me and bring us both to our feet.

He allows me to gently push him down to the bed and lay myself next to him. 

Climbing on top of him I again put a hand to his face pressing my head to his. My voice is soft and low, a breathy whisper thick with love and desire. 

Me - I love you.

Turner - I love you too.

Me - I want you. I need you.

Me - Make love to me Turner.

He flips me to my back, a hand holding one of my legs as I wrap them around him while his other hand rest firm yet gentle upon my breast.

Within moments he has me gasping and moaning. I bite my finger suppressing a scream, then wrap my legs tighter around him, gripping him with my hands and digging my nails into his flesh. I cling to him lost in our passion, needing something to hold on to as the world slips away and there is only him and me, us. 

Turner - Hayley.

Me - Oh Turner.

Turner - I never thought it could be like this. Never before have I felt as I do with you.

Breathlessly, practically panting between statements I reply.

Me - Yes! Feels so good. So right. Don't stop, don't ever stop.

There is a difference between having sex and making love, I have slept with Turner before and yet we have never before made love to one another. Together our bodies move as one, no longer bound by the confides of the flesh I give him my heart and soul as well as body, we are one. 

A little while later after finally reaching a point that we lack the energy to continue we lay together and he holds me in his arms. Neither of us speak, there's no need for words.

Eventually upon heading to use the bathroom I find myself dropping down in front of the toilet, throwing up. I haven't had any random tiredness since last night, but wonder if it's connected and again what's wrong with me. 

As I start to stand Turner grabs my arm and waist  helping me up.

Turner - Hayley?

He places his hands on my shoulders and after a moment begins to rub them.

Me - Mmm, that feels nice.

Turner - Are you alright my sweet? Are you sick?

 Stretching my back and rolling back my shoulders, I sight before responding.

Me - I don't know. I'm going to talk to Laura when I get the chance.

Turner - Why talk to her? She's just...

He stops short. I flash a smug smirk raising an eyebrow inquisitively.

Me - Yes?

He looks away clearing his throat and I burst into giggles.

Me - You can say it. She's the slave. I don't mind, I'm the one who picked her to replace me. As for why I would talk to her about this, she told me before I brought her here that she used to be a nurse.

 Leaving the bathroom I glace at the clock and am surprised to still find it morning.

Me - Well I don't know what kind of cook she is but I love to cook and told her I will continue to do so. On that note I best be off to make breakfast. You must be starting after this mornings activities.

Turner - Indeed, and you? I gave you quite the work out as well.

Me - Famished.

He just stares at me a slight smile on his lips and love in his eye.

Turner - I love you. You are just perfect, you know that? Beautiful, young, intelligent, amazing in the kitchen and even better in bed. Sweet and caring yet also devious. How did I get so lucky?

Me - You don't want me to answer that.

Laura does the laundry while I make breakfast.

Me - Good. I need to speak with you and am glad it is alone.

Laura - A-about what?

She seems nervous. Does she suspect, perhaps even know I saw her with Adam? 

Me - Not that. This is about me not you.

I'm teasing, testing.

Laura - Not what? I, I don't know what you're talking about.

Me - Then why do you seem so nervous?

Laura - Well lets see, you tricked me into following you to this, this place and keep me here making me clean for you ,wearing this horrid maids outfit that looks like something out of Playboy. The real question is why wouldn't I be nervous around you. 

I laugh.

Laura - You're not very nice.

Me - My mother left when I was a baby. My father died when I was a child. My step-mother didn't love me and my step father, the man she remarried, hated me. I was as you are now, the slave, imprisoned and abused for six years. Now to mention growing up a rich beautiful blonde. Of course I'm not nice. I have issues but thats besides the point, thats not what I wanted to talk to you about. You said you used to be a nurse and I haven't been feeling well as of late.

Laura - What's wrong?

Me - You tell me.

Laura - Well what do you mean by not feeling well? What symptoms have you been experiencing? 

Me - Sleepiness, lightheadedness, fainting, and I also threw up.

Laura - Well considering you "issues" I'd say it just sounds like stress. 

Me - But I'm not under stress anymore, for the first time my life is pretty much perfect.

Laura - That doesn't mean anything, stress isn't always caused by things being bad or hard. The lack of that hectic pressure can still cause your mind and body a great deal of stress because its not what your used to.

Me - Hmm. Anything else? Other then stress?

Laura - Either that or you're pregnant.
