Jean and Scott are fast asleep in in each other arms. Though Jean is very worried, once she is in his secured embrace her worries washed away.
She wanted to tell him as soon as possible….
After seeing Jean in her vulnerable and more stressed condition Scott started to worry. As she want to abandon this mission he has no problem because her happiness and peace of mind are his foremost priority.
But he knew that their enemies will not rest. So he wanted to take her responsibility and complete it soon.
After having their dinner both of them fell asleep with different thoughts and ideas.
Jean is thinking of best methods to tell him whereas Scott is thinking if this is right time to make her pregnant or not.
Till five days back everything has been fine but the situation has changed now.
.....
As both the couple are sleeping quietly, the atmosphere in Rick's family home is pretty stressed.
Mia called him and confirmed about Jean's pregnancy.
Danielle and Hope are sitting garden talking with each other. Just in one day they became good friends. The bored to hell Danielle at least got a good companion to have a company.
After this attack Rick took a week off for both him and Hope. They decided to stay here till they realize who attacked them.
"Big brother, Jean is pregnant now. We cant just keep quiet when Johann is trying to kill Jean" Rick worried.
"Hmm…..she is more important for us. Let me handle Johann. We have to find out if second young master of Braxton is in contact with Johann" his big brother said.
"Till then we have to protect Jean. Let us increase the security around her" Rick said and looked at two women sitting in the garden.
They are currently standing in the balcony of the second floor which belongs to Jean. They came inside to safe keep the ultra sound print of Jean's baby.
"No Rick. Someone are spying on Jean and her team methods. If we increase the security they might suspect why we are doing this. It will eventually come to one conclusion that she might be pregnant. That is their most vulnerable weakness now. We cant risk it" His big brother worried.
Yeah, he is right. If someone are not tailing Jean's team they not distract her to attack Rick.
It is evident that these events are connected to each other.
"Bro, someone breeched our security details then. Is someone helping from inside the organization or council" Rick asked.
"Might be. We have to look into their as well" His brother said.
They have so many things to take care of now..
"Then it is not safe for you to stay here either. No one knows about you….they will find out who the real leader of council is" Rick horrified.
According to the organization and lowest ranks of council, Enrick is the person who is leading the council on behalf of council founders.
Their three of the council founders are already dead meanwhile one of them is in coma now.
But no one knows that the real master mind behind the shadows is Rick's big brother.
"Hmm…..I know Rick. But the things are not good now and I can't leave you all to handle everything to yourself" his big brother said and patted his shoulder.
"Bro, Elle is also pregnant. I am afraid if something will happen to her.." Rick worried.
"I have my own ways to protect my wife and children. You no need to worry about it, first of all you have to make sure Hope will be safe with you" his big brother sternly said.
"OK. What about Jean…it's better we tell her the truth then. You previously thought that Johann's mission will make her find out about everything. But we decided to exclude Jean from the mission" Rick said.
"She is pregnant Rick. It will be mentally a roller coaster ride for her with all this sudden revelations. The truth hurts Rick….it is a mixture of both sadness as well as happiness. But more than anything, it hurts and will surely make her stressed out" his big brother dead panned.
"So, you will keep this as secret for another nine months. She has a right to know…" Rick retorted.
"Yes, but let the course takes it action. We cant make her sit and listen to it while we say it as some bedtime story right" his brother laughed bitterly.
Hmm, that's right. Without a proper timing they can't reveal the most important information about her life and parents.
"So we will continue to protect her from shadows. But till when?" Rick asked.
"Let Jean find out about her maternal family. After this I am sure Jean will not take much time to realize the other phase of her mother." He said.
Rick nodded his head. They stood there for few moments.
"I wish father will recuperate soon. We are in need his help and support" his big brother said and his eyes brimmed with sadness.
"Nothing will happen to uncle. He will be out of comma soon" Rick comforted him.
"Rick, I will be out of country this week. Take care of Elle Okay" he asked. "I want to find out if that Bastard young master of Braxton is doing this." He gritted his teeth.
"There is still the possibilities that Johann is working with them. Rick, I want to look into the information and every other connections Jean found out about Johann. May be that can help us to link this up"
When Jean started searching about Johann and the person behind him, Her connections and power are limited.
But to his big brother it will be easy compared to her. He might find something which Jean failed to do.
As it is almost dinner time both Rick and his brother went to prepare the dinner for four of them.
