"It wasn't your fault. Look at me?" I ask kindly.

When his beautiful, green eyes stare into mine, I hold back a gasp at how attractive they are.

"I don't blame you, and I want us to have a future. No one is to blame other than Elena, and, even then, it's not her fault because she is ill." I kiss his head, and Seb pulls my face into his hands as he kisses me. I sigh when he lifts me gently off the floor, cuddling me to his chest.

"Damn, May, I really don't deserve you, but if you want to keep me, I’m always yours."He sighs.

"Well, I don't know. You do forget to put the toilet seat down sometimes, and then there is the dishwasher which you–" I stop to laugh as he tickles me under my arms.

"You, little madam." He laughs.

There's a knock at the door that stops our laughs before it opens.

"Hey, sorry, but I've got to go. Tristan and my dad are arguing again, something about that cage place in town. I hope Tristan hasn't gotten himself involved in any shit." Allie shakes her head, coming over to stand in front of us.

"Seb, I know you guys fight sometimes in The Cage, but can you keep an eye out for my brother? I can't protect him if I don't know," she asks, and I tense, feeling bad that I can't tell her. Seb looks down at me with a slight shake of his head before he looks at Allie.

"Sure, but you should talk to Elliot," Seb says, trying to smile a little at her.

"Yeah, that's not going to happen. The jerk wouldn't help me anyway," she mutters the end part, but I can't help but frown at her a little.

"He would," I tell her.

"You must be tired from Jake or something, so I will ignore that." She winks, as she ignores what I said. I stand up to give her a hug before she leaves.

"I will walk you out," I say.

"I will try to find our son." Seb laughs, knowing he has a fight on his hands to get Jake back from whoever is holding him.

"How was the date last night?" I ask her. I know Allie went on a date with some guy she met in the hospital who was visiting his mother. I said it wasn’t a bad idea for her to try dating men again, but she said it would just be something to do.

"All right, but I promised him another date." She wrinkles her nose at me, pushing her shoulder-length, blond hair over her shoulder. Her hair is now dyed a dark-brown underneath. It really suits her.

"Do you want to see him again?" I ask her.

"Not really, but he is a good kisser, so I’ll give him one more chance." She winks.

I panic a little when I see Elliot's angry face in front of us before I realise he must have heard what Allie said.

He looks at Allie once, like he is trying to work something out before he storms out the door.

"What's his issue?" Allie asks, noticing him leave.

"Can't you guess?" I smile at her.

"No, I can't and don't want to. I’ll let you find your man and very cute baby." She hugs me again before we separate.

I walk around until I find nearly everyone in the kitchen, eating a cake by the looks of it. I smile when I see Izzy holding Jake, giving him kisses on his head. I notice Blake leaning against the wall by me, watching her with a loving look. He must have noticed me looking at him.

"I know that's not our baby, but seeing Izzy holding him makes me look forward to our future." He smiles before looking at me.

"I'm sure she feels the same way,"I tell him.

"I hope so." He grins before walking over to Izzy.

"Allie made you a cake, so I saved you some." Harley comes to my side with a slice of cake on a plate.

"Thanks." I grin.
