this right?’ she asked again for reassurance.
                  Dale smiled and nodded, before crossing the room, embracing her and rubbing the now very large bump. ‘Yes, of course we can.’ He kissed her nose, softly. ‘Stop worrying.’
                  ‘I can’t help it. Do you think the band will be OK? What if nobody signs you? I don’t mean to sound like I’m doubting you, but I’m worried if after all that’s happened it might put them off…’ she trailed off, realising how bad that sounded.
                  Dale put a finger under her chin, tilting it upwards. ‘Babe, that isn’t going to happen. Luke’s already had calls. He just needs a bit of space. He’s still struggling with it all. And I don’t blame him or Toby.’
                  Beth nodded. She knew he was right and she didn’t want to sound selfish. Of course she understood. She was just overthinking things and worrying. Plus, her photography business had slowed down and she’d had to stop taking on work because it was too much at the moment. Being heavily pregnant and the stress of all that surrounded them had made it difficult. She’d decided to take a break until things had settled and the baby was here.
                  ‘We’re going to be just fine. And so is our little bump,’ Dale said, beaming as he felt a kick. ‘We’ve got a striker in there. Got a good kick on them.’
     

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So much pain
    ‘Feel better?’ Megan asked as Toby tucked her hair behind her ear and she wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. He had just come back in from one of the barns that had come with the beautiful home he’d purchased after Luke had been found. He had converted it into a practice/studio room and had been practising, or rather beating the shit out of his drum kit. Today had been a less brutal attack on his prized possession and he was in a much happier mood. Jay-Den had been sentenced that morning. He’d been given twelve years, and although it didn’t seem enough it could have been worse and he could have been found not guilty.
                  ‘Much better. Today’s a good day,’ he said smiling.
                  ‘Good, I’m glad. Yes, it is.’ Megan’s phone buzzed. It was one of her many Twitter followers. Beth had managed to break Megan’s stance on social media after weeks of telling her it was fun. She still wasn’t sure about it, but it wasn’t as bad as she had first thought. She hadn’t seen the point if only about five people cared what she did. But how wrong she had been. Her following was now twelve thousand strong. It seemed that Megan was an inspiration to a lot of people. Finally, she fitted in. Her lonely past was erased, but she used her knowledge to help and guide those just like her, and she loved interacting with people. She even had a few male admirers, which Toby thought was great. One had told her, ‘I love you, please leave him for me’ – all done publicly – to which Toby had responded with, ‘You are a very brave man, sunshine.’ But it had ended on a friendly note. She tapped away on her phone and Toby smiled as he watched her.
                  Things were finally looking up. They were happy in their new home, a farmhouse, with acres of land. It was perfect and just a few miles from Megan’s parents who lived in a place called Liss. It reminded them of Melissa every time they said it now. It was private and had been a massive part of her healing process. There was one other obstacle that they needed to overcome – sex. It still hadn’t been fully discussed, and now it was time. Megan took his hand and made him sit next to her.
                  ‘I’m well aware of how patient you’ve been with me, and for not pressuring me, or making me feel like a freak,’ Megan said, avoiding his gaze.
                  ‘You are not a freak, and I
