"And Harry still blames me," Sasha said. "Moody bastard."

Brooke chuckled. "Sorry," she said.

Sasha rolled her eyes. "I'm going to order some food," she said and stood up from the booth.

"Brooke, I need to tell Rogue," Indianna said suddenly. "I don't want a repeat of what happened after I hid the pregnancy."

Brooke sighed. "I don't want a repeat of that either," she said. "Tell Stacy, tell her to tell Rogue. She would appreciate you telling her and that will look good to Rogue."

Indianna nodded and got out her phone. "I'll call her." Indianna dialled Stacey's number and after a few moments she picked up.

"Indie, babe, hi!" Stacy said. "What's up, b?"

"Stacy, I need to tell you something," Indianna said. "About the baby."

"Is everything okay?" Stacy gasped.

"Everything's fine. Great, actually," Indianna said and rubbed her stomach. "I went to the hospital today. I found out the gender."

"Oh, how exciting!" Stacy squealed. Opposite Indianna, Brooke cringed, hearing Stacy over the phone. "What is it?"

"A girl," Indianna said. Stacy gasped. "And a boy."

"Twins!" Stacy said. "That's amazing! Congrats, babe!"

"Thank you," Indianna said. "Could you let Ro-Jason know?"

"Of course, he'll be so excited to meet them!" Stacy gushed. "I'm so happy for you, Indie!"

"Thanks, Stacy," Indianna said. "I've got to go. I'll speak to you soon."

"Okay, babe! Speak soon!" Stacy called and Indianna hung up.

"It's done," she said and Brooke nodded, just as Sasha returned to the table.

The girls made small talk for a while before Sasha looked at Indianna, biting her lip nervously. "Can I ask you something, Indie? It may be extremely rude, but it's been bugging me."

"What is it?" Indianna asked cautiously.

"Are you pregnant?"

"Wow, be blunt about it," Brooke said.

"I'm so sorry if you're not, it's just that there's been some rumours, and you're getting a little bit of a belly-"

"There's been rumours?" Indianna wondered.

Sasha paled. "Just a few-"

"I am," Indianna said.

Sasha's mouth dropped. "Seriously? You're pregnant?"

Indianna nodded. "Yes."

"Crikey, I wasn't expecting you actually be up the duff," Sasha gasped. "Gosh, congratulations!"

Indianna smiled. "Thank you. Brooke and I have just been to the hospital actually. It's twins."

"Oh my god, are you joking?" Sasha demanded. "Twins?! That's insane!"

Indianna ran her fingers through her hair. "Tell me about it."

"So... are you telling people? Like is it public knowledge?" Sasha wondered.

"I think I've hidden it for long enough," Indianna said. "So feel free to gossip and make the rumours true."

"You'll be fine," Brooke said confidently and smiled at Indianna.

Indianna nodded. "Let's hope."

Brooke looked up when the door to the diner opened and she saw Raiden walk in, pulling Tai with him. "Please!" He was saying. "Just try and get to know him!"

"All I wanted to do was go for a run and you ambushed me!" Tai said, gesturing to her running attire. "I'm not your mum, I don't need to meet your friends, Rai!"

"He's just worried that you've heard bad things about him," Raiden said.

"Bad things?" Tai said. "Why would he think that? Unless he's actually done something bad."

Raiden glanced across the diner and caught eyes with Brooke. "He's aware that his cousin doesn't quite like him at the moment, and he's worried that because you seem to have made friends-"

"I haven't made friends with her."

"He's worried you're not going to give him a chance. He's a nice guy. Please, let's just have some food and chat-"

"You barely know this kid," Tai groaned.

"We've just clicked," Raiden shrugged.

"God, you get attached to people easily," Tai muttered and she sighed when Raiden pushed her into a booth.

"Just meet him once. Properly. That's all I ask."

Tai rolled her eyes. "Fine, whatever, but you're buying me food."

Raiden smiled brightly. "Great."

"Rai, do you know why Brooke hates him?" Tai wondered.

"He just said that she exaggerates things way out of proportion," Raiden said dismissively. "He's done nothing wrong."

"Is that what he told you?" Tai raised her eyebrows. "Because from what I've heard he's not a decent guy."

"What have you heard?"

"Not much, but he doesn't seem like a good cousin."

"Let him change your mind," Raiden smiled.

"Sure, whatever," Tai said and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Tai," Raiden sighed.

"What?"

"Please."

"I said sure."

"You also said whatever!"

"Do you like him or something?" Tai asked. Raiden didn't say anything. "Oh my god, you like him!"

"Shut up," Raiden said. "We're just friends!"

"You like him!"

"Just shush!" Raiden muttered and went slightly red. "He makes me feel nice."

"Does he make you all gooey and warm on the inside?" Tai asked sarcastically.

"It's like there's fireworks whenever we touch," Raiden said. Tai froze. "I know that sounds cheesy, don't take the piss, Tai, but there's just something that feels right- and I know it's not been long-"

    Indianna forced a smile. "I would never."Greyson chuckled. "Are you not eating any more, sugar?"Indianna stared down at the food on her plate, feeling full. She had taken a lot more food than she could manage to consume. She shook her head.Greyson turned to his sister. "Has she actually eaten a decent breakfast?""Greyson, I've eaten!" Indianna argued.Kirstie rolled her eyes. "Trust your mate, you dick. She ate enough for a whole family.""Great. In that case." Greyson took Indianna's plate from her and sat down between the two girls, tucking into the remains of Indianna's breakfast."We better get organised," Mac said, running his hand along Kirstie's thigh. "We gotta a lot of men to get today.""No rest for the wicked," Kirstie sighed and jumped up from the floor. "Let's go tear down Rogue's empire, lover."Mac chuckled and let Kirstie pull him up from the floor. "Let's do this.""You know," Oscar said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up with Kirstie and Max , "you'd think th

    DAY ONEIndianna was woken by Kal's snores, they were soft, but she had been struggling to sleep the whole night and now all she could focus on was Kal's heavy breathing. She sighed and turned over, trying to get comfortable which was rather hard with her bump. She was now looking at Greyson as he slept. He seemed so peaceful. His face was so calm and serene, she wished that he didn't have to wake up to the hell they were in.Greyson's eye twitched and Indianna knew that he was no longer asleep. He reached out, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest, resting his chin on her head and one hand on her stomach. *It's early, sugar, you should be asleep, not perving on me while I sleep.*Indianna chuckled slightly. *Sleep doesn't come easily these days.**Try,* Greyson pleaded. *It's 2am. You need your rest.**So do you.**I'm fine. I'm swapping watch duty with Oscar soon anyway.*The rest of the previous day was spent waiting anxiously for Oscar, Kirstie and Mac to ret

    "Please don't call yourself that," Indianna said."It's true. I can't be trusted-""Would a monster feel remorse?" Indianna asked, cutting Tai off. "Do you think Rogue feels remorse over his actions?""That is different-""You are not a monster, Tai," Indianna insisted. "You didn't do what you did on purpose. As you said, you lost control. What happened has happened, it can't be taken back. The only thing we can do now is focus on the present. Tai, will you help us now?"It was a few moments before Tai acknowledged that Indianna had spoken. She pursed her lips and gave one sharp nod. "I need to wash this blood off of me," she said and turned on her heel and disappeared into Indianna's room.Indianna made her way to Greyson's room next. The scent of him surrounded her when she entered and she closed her eyes, caressing her bump. She didn't want to go without him. Indianna swallowed the lump in her throat and changed out of the clothes she had been wearing for dinner. Once she was in sw

    "If I'd have known that talking to Brooklyn would change your mind then I would have suggested you do that as soon as you started to disagree with me."Indianna scowled at Greyson who smirked at her as she approached him. "Shut up."Greyson reached out and took Indianna's hand, pulling her towards him. "Thank you," he murmured."I'm still annoyed," Indianna grumbled and looked down at her feet, glaring."Hey." Greyson took Indianna's chin and tilted her head up. "Please don't be. You're keeping yourself and our children safe. That's the most important thing. Don't scowl at me, sugar.""You're important."Greyson smiled and kissed Indianna's forehead affectionately. "God, I love you, woman."Karl suddenly yelled from across the room. "They're here! Fucking hell, you took your time, lads! It's not like we're waiting for a psychopath to come and kill us or anything!""You just can't keep your mouth shut, can you?" Harry groaned, but made his way over to where Kal was now standing, over t

    "Just me," Greyson croaked. "You know it's the smart thing to do. There's no point in slaughtering a whole pack.""You think I care about how many people I have control over? Do you think I care about that when my mate is lying dead in my arms!" Rogue roared. He threw Greyson to the side, kicking him onto the floor. "You will all die! I will kill you all for what you have done. None of you will live to see next week." Rogue looked down at Stacey and brushed her hair away from his face, smiling down at her. "Everything I will do to this pack will be for you, my love," he whispered. "I promise, I will make them suffer." He then walked towards the woods, not looking back at the pack. "If any of them try to leave, break their legs! I want them alive, for now!" Was the last thing Rogue said to his men before he disappeared. The rest of his men remained, but they retreated into the trees, out of sight, still there, but watching.The silence that followed next was deafening. No one said a wo

    Nothing she could possibly say would help."Your pack killed my mate. SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU. OF YOUR PACK! YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE!" His yells echoed in the woods surrounding them. "You..." He whispered. "You are going to pay."Indianna was too stunned to speak. She was vaguely aware of Greyson putting himself between her and Rogue, but that didn't stop Indianna from staring at her brother who looked ferocious.His eyes were dark, teeth bared, face red and he was spitting blood when he spoke. "You, little sister, are going to suffer. Your pathetic mate can't protect you. Your pack. No one. You are no different from our parents. I thought I could change you. Make you into a version of yourself that I could be proud of. Oh, how I was wrong.""J-Jason," Indianna stuttered, her words barely audible. "I didn't want this to happen-""I don't want your fake pity!" He roared and Indianna flinched. "I don't want lies! I want revenge!"*Sugar, you know I will die before I let him get to you.*H
