Mot's Pov

"Ready Mot?" Dec asks and I nod. I grip Dia's hand tighter as the take out the first set of stitches.

I flinch as they gently pull the other out. "Careful." Dia snaps at Mianite who rolls his eyes.

One by one they take the stitches from my side. I feel the last one tug lose before falling out.

"Ok Mot other than your arm you should be good to go." Mianite says with a smile.

Tom's Pov

"He was never like this before. He never would've hit me or forced me to do anything I wasn't ready to do." Alyssa speaks calmly despite the horrible situation she's been in.

"Do you know if he used protection?" I ask and she looks down. "I-I'm not sure." Tears start flowing down her cheeks again. If no one else is going to be there for her, I will be.

"I'm scared Tom." Alyssa sobs and I pull her into my lap gently. Her tears soak through my shirt but I don't care.

"Look, if it turns out you are...with child....I'm gonna support you financially and any other kind of support you may need." I say but she pulls away.

"No Tom I can't let you do that." Alyssa cries. "Well I'm not letting that-"

"I love him." How?! How can she love Jerriah after what he's done to her!?!

"I'm not gonna let him hurt you anymore." I look at Alyssa with pleading eyes. Why can't she just stay here with me?

"I need to go." She whispers and for some reason I feel saddened. "I've got 30 minutes and I wanna see dad before I have to go back." Alyssa looks sad too. Things shouldn't be like this for her.

"Wait here a second." I say before running downstairs. I offered her 15 diamonds but I'll double it just because I can tell she really needs it. Gods know how long it's been since she's ate.

Alyssa's Pov

Tom runs back up with a bag. Without saying a word he closes my fingers around the bag.

"How much is it?" I ask. "Don't worry about it just don't tell Jerriah about it. I'm not bying his drinks."

"Tom how m-"

"Let's go see your old man." Tom takes my hand and leads me towards the door.

I notice he's armed. What's he planning on?! "He threatened Mot and I, did he not?" Tom speaks quietly as we near Dec's house.

"Y-yeah." Why do I have to frickin' stutter!!!!!

"I'll keep that in mind." He let's go of my hand as we enter Mot's room. Spark is here and has obviously been crying.

"S-she....b-but." He cries.

"I'm sorry." Dianite mumbles. "Thomas Jordan has been looking for you." Mianite says to change the topic.

"He just to kill me. To 'keep the peace'" Tom mumbles back. "Spark you ok?" I ask, handing Tom his diamonds and walking over to him.

"S-she's d-dead!" Spark sobs. Mot looks so unhappy. All I can do is hug him.

Wag's Pov (Wat!!!)

Martha sits on the couch next to me; fresh tears still rolling from her face. "Martha love please don't cry." I beg but this only makes her cry more.

"W-what was it you wanted to talk a-about?" She asks and wipes the tears away.

"Martha you remember the night we both got super drunk?" I ask and she nods. "M-Martha I-" Then it hits.....I'm not Steve. I'm not who she wants!

"Waggles you're crying! What's wrong?" Martha asks my whole head feels like it's on fire. Tears hurt.....a lot.

"I can't love you l-l-like h-he did!" I sob and Martha's face changes. From worried to sad and depressed.

"You don't want me." I whisper more to myself than to Martha. "James look at me." I do as Martha wants but I don't remove my hood.

"Take it off." Time to he an ass. "Take what off?" Martha rolls her eyes and pulls my hood down.

Her hands snake around my waist, pulling me closer to her. "You're not my Steve, nor will you ever be, but you are my Waggles and no one in this whole world could ever replace you. James I wouldn't have came here if it weren't for you-" Martha's voice breaks, she's gonna cry.

"Coming here is one of the best things that has ever......"

Why is my vision blurring? What's going on?! I glance around the room and in the corner is a man in a straw hat.

Tell her James! You may not think it but she loves ye!

I snap back into reality to find Martha is still crying. "Martha you're pregnant.....and it's m-mine." My eyes never leave hers. Those beautiful purple grey eyes she inherited from her mother.

I see a smile form on Martha's lips. She laughs and throws her arms around me. She beings to cry? Here's where I get dumped....

"Waggles I'm so h-happy! We're gonna have a kid!" I close my eyes and let tears fall freely from my eyes.

"I love you Martha, my queen, my love, my goddess. I love you so much." I sob gosh that was terrifying but I'm glad I told her.

"I love you too Waggles, my king, my wizard, my champion." She goes to pull away but I hold her in place. "Please don't pull away just yet." I whisper and she rests her head on my shoulder.

"Thank you." I want to be with Martha forver. When I'm with her it seems that everything is right, all my problems are gone. I'm happy when I'm with her.

"Who all knows?" Martha asks this time I allow her to pull away. "Mot and Ianite."

Martha stays silent for a long time. Almost too long. Just as I start to panic she says,

"Kiss me." I gently pull Martha into my lap and press my lips to hers. She pulls away and I just look at her.

"You ok?" She asks snapping me from my trance. "You're perfect. Don't let anybody tell you different."

Martha just giggles and kisses me again. Then it clicks. I've gotta marry her. There's no other way. I want Martha to be mine forver. Mine and mine alone.
