"Damn, Girl, he''s not even the right gender for me but I definitely would," she fans herself and I snort augh.


    "You know he can hear you, right?" I say and giggle when her face drops in horror.


    "Shush, take pity on the poor little human girl. I''m obviously just bedazzled by his powers like in those smut books we read," she smirks


    "I do not read smut books, they''re romance," I defend with a hand on my heart.


    "Mmmhmm, anyway I got you something, and I need you toe back to my room for a few minutes before breakfast," she gives me a conspiratory look before mouthing "alone,"


    "What is it?" I mouth back. "Can I shower first?" I say out loud.


    She pulls a small paper bag from inside her jacket and holds the top open for me to peek inside. I sigh when I see the pregnancy test in there. How did she work this out before I did? Deacon walks out of the bathroom again, this time fully clothes in his suit and tie and I hold the door wider for Freya, "You bettere in,"


    Freya tucks the bag back into her jacket and gives me a puzzled look as she walks in "Good morning," she smiles awkwardly at Deacon.


    "Good morning Freya," he smirks.


    "How did you know?" I ask her getting straight to the point the moment the door is closed behind her. Her eyes widen as she looks between me and Deacon. "He knows too, or suspects. It seems it was only me that was clueless," I say and she sighs in relief, pulling the bag from her jacket.


    "Oh, so you dont need this?" she asks holding the bag out to me. I reach out and take it from her.


    "I do need it, thank you,"


    "I''m your


    best friend, Jo, I know that you never turn your nose up at coffee. Then when you didn''t finish the cake your mum made I was sure this was more than you just being sad because when douchebag Coner broke your heart you stuffed your face with cake and ice cream for weeks! I''ve seen my mum pop out enough kids to know the early signs," she shrugs.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you about Coner," I cover my mouth. How could I forget about that? I guess I was too concerned about my bonds to think of him. "How is he?" I ask Deacon.


    "He''s great, Sunny was confirmed as his bond," Deacon smiles and I am so happy for them.


    "Wait, what? How do you know Coner? Please tell me youcked his scrawny little ass!" Freya scowls.


    "Coner is like me, and the girl he cheated with is too. She was using mind control on him," I tell her quickly before she goes into a full-blown rant.


    "Shit. So she basically r*ped him?"


    "Yes, pretty much, but he''s okay now and he has the sweetest bond," I smile at the thought of Sunny and him together.


    "Okay, well we can discuss him another time. Right now you need to take that test," Freya nods towards the bag.


    "Do you need help?" Freya and Deacon ask at the same time as I move towards the bathroom.


    "I''m quite capable of peeing on a stick by myself thank you." I say, mortified at the thought of Deacon helping me pee on it. I am not thatfortable around him yet. I''d be okay with Freya in here with me but I dont want D to


    feel pushed out. I close the bathroom door and take the test from the packet. Reading the instructions twice before I take it. I ce it on the bathroom counter and brush my teeth whilst I wait for the longest three minutes of my life. I pick up the tests and take a breath before I look down at the results. The plus sign looks back at me as if smirking at me the way Mason does. Fucking Mason!
