"Police, what's your emergency?"

"He refuses to leave my flat," I said, starting to cry.

This brings back too many bad memories. I keep having flash-backs of the last time Rory was here.

"You f.ucking t.wat, you got her pregnant?!" Rory spat at Joe.

"Yeah, and once again, there's nothing you can f.ucking do about it!" Joe snickered.

"M'am, who refuses to leave?"

"Rory! I'm scared he's going to hurt us again!"

"Stay calm. I'm sending the police now. Where are you?"

I gave him my address again.

"She doesn't even want your baby. You probably forced your way onto her!" Rory spat.

"No!" I cried as Joe threw a punch to Rory.

I just know this is going to end badly again.

"You don't even know her! You're a f.ucking stalker!" Joe yelled as he punched Rory in the jaw.

"Minx? Correct?" The emergency responder asked.

"Yeah, but I can't do this. Please!" I cried.

"Did I hear them say that you're pregnant?"

"Yeah. But-"

"Stay calm Minx. It's not good for the baby. Okay? Think about the baby. The police will be there any minute."

"Stop!" I cried as Rory punched Joe.

I jumped off the sofa and ran to Joe on the ground as he got up.

"Minx, move. You can't get hurt," Joe said.

"I would never f.ucking hurt her!"

"You f.ucking r.aped her!" Joe spat.

"Police!" I heard as the door opened quickly.

The police rushed in and once again handcuffed both Joe and Rory.

"Please, not again!" I cried.

"Honey, come with me. Come on. You need to stay calm, yeah? I was told you're pregnant, is that right?"

"Yes. But my fiancé, Joe. He was protecting me. Rory has already been arrested before because he tried to r.ape me. But then he got out of prison and won't stop stalking Joe and I."

"Okay. Well this time, we'll try our best to make sure he stays put away."

Joe came in to the room and wasn't wearing the handcuffs, thankfully.

"Joe, I'm so sorry," I cried, apologising over and over again.

"Minx, stop," Joe soothed, "Sir, he needs to be put away. This isn't fair. We haven't contacted him or anything and he keeps showing up, causing trouble and harassing us. She's pregnant for God's sake! We don't need this," Joe said to the policeman.

"I understand. We'll have this under control. Do you need medical attention?"

"No, I'm fine, thank you," Joe nodded.

"Okay. So, we'll be taking Rory back down to the station. At this point, I think it's best to file a restraining order. But because this is his second offense, punishment is more likely to be harsher."

"Okay," Joe nodded.

"M'am, are you okay now? Are you in any sort of pain?"

"Yes, I'm good thank you. I feel fine," I nodded.

"Don't worry Minx. This time I'll follow up however I need to to make sure he doesn't come near us again. This is ridiculous and now that there's a baby involved, it's too dangerous."

"I know. Thank you," I smiled weakly, giving him a small kiss, "Joe?"

"Hm?"

"Don't listen to anything he said. Everythig he said was complete and utter rubbish!"

"Alright," He nodded.

"How did he even find out?!" I asked.

"It must've been someone we told."

"My mum and James must've mentioned it to Richard and Cate!" I said in disbelief.

"I don't think they'd have known what sort of impact it'd bring," Joe said.

"I'm going to call her," I muttered.

"Only if you want to," Joe said quietly.

"Mum?" I said as I heard her pick up the phone, as it had stopped ringing.

"Hi Minx! How are you and Joe?"

"Horrible at the moment."

"What's happened?!"

"F.ucking Rory came around and started beating Joe up and yelling at me for being prrgnant. Then, he had the audacity to imply Joe r.aped me to get me pregnant!"

"What the h.ell?! Rory as in Richard and Cate's son?"

"Yes Mum! The one who's been f.ucking stalking me!"

"Calm down Minx."

"No Mum! Why would you tell them? It's caused all of this!"

"Tell who what? Minx, what are you going on about?"

"Didn't you tell Richard and Cate I'm pregnant? How else would Rory have found out?!"

"Minx, honey, I haven't spoken to either of them in over two weeks."

"How did he find out? He stormed into the flat announcing it!"

"Minx, darling. I don't know. Let me talk to James," My mum said.

I could hear her talking to James.

"James, honey, when's the last time you've spoken to Richard or Cate?"

"I saw Richard at our new building- um- yeah, last Friday," I could hear James.

"Honey, James hasn't spoken to them since we've gotten the news either."

"Okay. I'm sorry for calling and accusing you. I really am. I love you. Joe and I are both okay, just a little shaken up. Talk to you later, yeah?" I said quickly before hanging up.

"Minx, you need to calm down," Joe said calmly as he sat next to me on the sofa.

"I know. But neither my mum or James have spoken to Richard or Cate," I breathed.

"So, how the h.ell did he find out?"

"I don't know," I shrugged, "We never accidently mentioned it, did we?"

"No, but I'll look on our Twitters and we can rewatch my video," Joe shrugged.

"Okay," I nodded.

Joe and I both looked on our Twitters and didn't see anything that we had maybe accidently posted and no one had said anythings. So it all indicated no one knows.

I grabbed my laptop and Joe and I watched the only video he had posted since we found out we were pregnant.

"Nothing," Joe huffed.

"So how did he find out?!"

"Minx..." Joe said as he came to a realisation.

"What?"

"What about Nora?"

"Nora? I don't think she really knows Rory."

"Did you ever tell her about the last situation you had with him?"

"Well, yeah. I told her about that. But you heard me ask her not to tell anyone."

"That's doesn't mean she wouldn't..."

"I'm going to call her," I said.

"Hi Minx?" Nora answered.

I could hear Noelle crying in the background.

"Nora? Did you tell him?" I said, my voice full of anger and sadness.

"Minx.."

"No, stop. Did you tell him?" I spat.

"It wasn't supposed to go this far," Nora defended.

"What wasn't?"

"All of this. I didn't realise how obsessed he'd become. It was supposed to help you!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Rory!"

"What did you do?!"

"All of this! Everything. Even the whole Eric thing. I'm surprised you never told me!" Nora said, adding a small snicker.

The only way I could describe her tone was mean-spirited, almost evil.

"Nor-"

"No. It all started when you and Joe started talking. You were so attached to him. I just had a bad feeling about him. So, when you told me about Rory, I got him number from your phone. I eventually persuaded Rory to try to get you away from Joe, however, that didn't go too well and everything started getting out of hand."

"What?!" I cried.

"You shouldn't be with Joe!"

"And why not?! All he's ever done is protected me from all of you! He's been a better friend than you will ever be, that's for sure!"

"Us? Friends? Really? Wow! You haven't even heard the beginning of it. The whole Rory scenario, him being in prison. Richard and Cate never even heard about it and you're parents were always too afraid to mention it. Rory kept in contact with Eric and I and we bailed him out and had all the charges dropped, with a little help of his father's name, unbeknownst to Richard of course!"

"Nora, why?" I cried.

"We wanted to get you away from Joe. You're too fascinated with his fame, for God's sake! I didn't realise how much Rory would actually like you. It never hurt us though for him to keep pursuing you," She snickered, "One of our last chances was for Eric to hit on you and hope you fall for that. Me getting pregnant by Eric was an accident and we're only staying together for the baby. When Eric hitting on you didn't work, Rory was back and then this morning when I found out you are pregnant, I told Rory. H.ell that set him off!"

"So all of this was done to get me away from Joe?!"

"Yeah, and then when you couldn't keep your f.ucking legs closed, from Rory and Joe," Nora scoffed, "You finally got pregnant and ruined everything. So good f.ucking luck having a kid from him. He'll probably only use the kid for fame! And you too!" She laughed.

"First of all! At least I have it better, because I didn't have a kid with a f.ucking stranger! And you're the one that's really behind Rory almost r.aping me! You f.ucking pervert!"

"Just remember, I did all of this with my first intentions to make sure you were with a guy who actually deserved you! Now just wait until everyone finds out about your little baby!"

"No! F.uck you Nora! Stay the h.ell away from me and Joe!" I spat angrily before hanging up the phone and throwing it across the room.

"Baby, calm down," Joe said as he rubbed my back.

"No Joe! She was behind all of this! Every f.ucking part!" I cried.

"Shh," He said calmly.

"Every single part! As far back as when I first met Rory! Even when he r.aped me! For f.uck's sake! She's was behind all of this, to get me away from you!"

"Minxie, you have to stay calm. Think about the baby!"

"Why did they want me away from you?" I cried.

"Baby, I don't know," Joe said shaking his head.

"I f.ucking hate her," I sobbed.

"I know. Me too," Joe said, holding me against him as I hugged him and cried.

"I'm so sorry. They'll tell everyone about the baby," I shook my head.

"Fine. Let them. That doesn't change anything. Minx, you're stronger than all of this. I know it's hard, but baby, trust me, yeah?"

"Joe, I love you," I said, still crying onto his shoulder as he hugged me and I sat on his lap.
