Valentino's [1]

"Just think about who's child she's having." Jace says, looking at him.
He looks back at Rayah, wondering if that was too much...

Charlie's smile fades, "Y-Your.." he says pointing at the two of us. "Rayah..." He looks at me. "No. I don't believe you."

Jace swallows, subconsciously bringing Rayah closer.
"I shouldn't have said that..." He whispers, shaking his head.

Charlie smiles, "That means she's weaker." he nods. "C'mere Rayah." He says holding his arms out.

"No, Ray." Jace says, looking her in the eyes.

I look at Charlie then Jace. "He's just gonna hug me."

"Please, Rayah." Jace says. "After everything that's happened today, please..."

I nod and sigh, "Fine."

Charlie shrugs and walks over to me anyway, wrapping his arms around my stomach.

Jace pulls Rayah gently away from Charlie and sets her protectively behind her, unfamiliar instincts flooding his mind and soul. His hand subconsciously sets itself on her stomach as he looks up at Charlie, murder in his eyes.

Charlie puts his hands up, "Woah, what did I do?" he asks smiling.

"You know what you did." Jace growls. "I don't want you touching her, alright? You freaking kidnap her and then try and act all innocent."
He shakes his head.
"Just stay the hell away from her."

"Why don't you just stay away from her?" He asks laughinh, crossing his arms.

Jace shakes his head, stifling a laugh back.
"You've gotta be deaf...seriously." He says. "Did you not hear what I said? I'm not leaving her in this condition and sure as hell wouldn't be able to leave her if she wasn't having my kid. I love her more than you will ever come to realize or comprehend with that tiny little brain of yours."

"Well, maybe she'll be better off without you." He smiles evilly.

"That's her decision, not yours." Jace says.
