—Lena— Kate kneels on the ground next to me and puts both her hands on my shoulders and Lachlan does the same to Killian. “Ok, this is gonna hurt even more than last time because these memories are buried deep so I need you to hold done and just let me in and everything will go faster.” Eric tells us and we both nod our heads. “Close your eyes.” Eric says and I close my eyes, my hand still entwined with Killian's. I hear Eric and Kat start chanting a spell and I feel a poke in my head and as the seconds go by the poke instensifies and then it's like a hundred hot pokers and poking my brain and it's like someone set my head on fire. I try to move but Kate holds me down, the pain just keeps getting worse and worse and I can't take it anymore. “Arrggghhhhhhh!” I scream and I feel Killian squeeze my hand but the pain is still there. “Just hold on a little longer Lena. Eric hurry up.” I hear Kate shout and a few seconds later, the pain subsides and I'm jus
CHAPTER 119….OUR DAUGHTER IS ALIVE. —Killian— “The thing is we don't need to reveal all our secrets to each other, I just have to reveal one secret.” Lena says and I can sense that she's nervous and scared. “What are you talking about mi Lena?” I asked her. “Bertha was just trying to cover up for me, there's something I have to tell you but I want you to know that I always meant to tell you, I didn't want to keep it from you, you just had a lot on your plate and I didn't want to burden you.” She tells me. I take her hand in mine. “You can tell me Lena, whatever it is, I won't get angry. So please talk to me.” I tell her. “Ok, since we got back together, we've never really had a talk about the baby, I'm guessing it's because there was no child so you must've put two and two together.” Lena said. “Yes I did but also because I didn't want to bring it up because I found out that after the day I rejected you, you spent a few months in a psych hospital. I
—Jeremy— “You need to stop pacing Jeremy you're making me dizzy from just looking at you.” Elijah tells me. “Well then don't look at me, aren't you supposed to be looking through the tapes from Iannis house?” I asked him. “Yes, but we don't know exactly when or if Lachlan actually went to their house so it's going to take some time.” He tells me and I just snarl. “Hey don't you snarl at me, I'm not the cause of your problem. Sit down Jeremy, they’ll call you when they have him, your pacing isn’t going to change anything.” Elijah tells me “Elijah's right Jer, come sit down please.” Elena pleads with me. I know she's worried that I might snap and Elijah is also right, my pacing won't change anything. “Alright.” I relent then take a seat by Elena's side. “What are you doing little sis?” I asked her. “I'm trying to write an Algorithm so that we'll be able to find Lachlan faster in all these tapes but I'm not even sure it will work be
—Lena— The next day, I wake up wrapped up in Killian's arms, I look at the bedside clock and see that it's six in the morning. I'm surprised that I was able to sleep at all because of the jet lag. Probably because I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders when I told Killian about Lyanna, and it could also be because I woke him up in the middle of the night by riding him, and he happily obliged by fucking me five ways to Sunday. I was so exhausted but at least the heat had gone down, two days down, five more to go. I extract myself from Killian's arms, and he doesn't even shake; my poor baby, I must've worn him out. I pad silently to the bathroom, where I brush my teeth wash my face and apply some moisturiser. I go into my wardrobe and bring out a long-sleeved shirt and black leggings. I walk back to the bed and kiss Killian on his cheek and then I leave the room. The house sounds so quiet; I'm sure everyone is still asleep, and even the maids haven't com
CHAPTER 122….YOU'RE PREGNANT 2. —Lena— The doctor took some blood to run tests and said that he would be back with an ultrasound machine to measure how far along she was; through all of this, Adriana was silent; she didn't make a sound until the doctor left and she burst out in tears. “Oh Adriana, why are you crying? There's no reason to be sad at all, a baby is a good thing.” I tell her as I go and sit by her side on the bed. “I'm pregnant, and the father of the baby wants nothing to do with me; how am I going to do this alone, Lena?” She asked me. “What are you talking about? I know Elijah leaving you is painful; no one understands that pain better than me. But this is his loss because he's going to miss being the father to this kid that I already know is going to be great, and you aren't alone, Adriana; you have me, Kate, your brother, Lachlan and even Eric and Kat.” I tell her, and she nods her head, but she doesn't look fully convinced, so I look to Ka
—Lena— He doesn't say anything, and I start to think that maybe I'm wrong and he's not happy about the baby, but then a huge grin spreads on his face, and my heart calms down. “I'm fucking ecstatic, my baby sister is having a baby.” He shouts and then he hugs Kate and spins her around the room before doing the same thing to me. “Put me down, Killian; the room is spinning.” I tell him. “I'm sorry mia cara, I'm just so excited.” He tells me as he drops me back down on my seat and I just smile at him, Kate on the other hand is looking at him like he's crazy, I don't think he had fully realised what he did, I think that's the first time that I've ever seen him hug Kate and I can't help the smile that spreads on my face, oh how I wish I caught that moment on camera. “Between finding out that Lyanna is alive and now this, we've had this dark cloud hanging over us for weeks now, at least there's some good news in there.” Killian said “Yeah, you're
—Lena— After breakfast, Kate allows Will to watch some TV so the grown-ups can talk. “I swear by the time all this is over, his brain will be fried from all the TV he watched.” Kate said as she shook her head. “That's not going to happen, Will's a smart kid.” I tell her. “Eric, I'm going to need you to do what you did back in the car again, I do not need to bite someone's head off today.” I tell him. “Sure thing Lena, I'll do it before you leave. Speaking of….” Eric trailed off as he spun his seat to face Killian. “No Eric, you can't leave the house yet.” Killian told him and he was serious. “Oh, come on. You said I was a guest here, not a prisoner.” Eric complained. “Of course, you're a guest, Eric, but you are the only reason that war has not broken out; the only people who know you are here are members of the council and us, and they know that if they say anything, I will rip their tongues out. So please Eric just bear with us.” Killian e
—Lena— “Killian that's beautiful.” I tell him as I continue to admire the ring in his hands. “I never got to give you this before, and even when I rejected you, I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it; I held on to it; maybe it's because somewhere in me, I knew that I would still give it to you someday. Our wedding was rushed so I wasn't able to give it to you, but now I can.” He takes my left hand and slides the ring down my ring finger until it's on top of my wedding ring, and it's a perfect fit. “Now the emerald is because that's your favourite and then the diamonds surrounding it because I had to get my girl some diamonds.” He tells me with a smirk on his face. “You're silly and, at the same time, so romantic. Thank you, baby, I love it.” I tell him as tears well up in my eyes, he held on to this for eight years and now it's right where it belongs. We both walk down the stairs but I leave him halfway to go check on Adriana. I walk into her room a
