This starts after the lunchtime scene in Chapter Five of my other story, Finding Yourself. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter One: I Won't Let You Do This Alone

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse sighed as she made her way through the corridors of the school, looking for Lance Hunter. She dumped her bag into her locker before beginning the search for her boyfriend, after he walked out from cafeteria. Pausing as she reached the gym, she decided to go out to the pitch and bleachers.

She found Lance under the bleachers, sitting with his eyes closed and his fists closed up against his forehead. Quietly, she made her way over to him, sliding into his lap, curling into him. He sighed and brought his hands down to wrap his arms around her waist, showing her that he was not angry at her.

Lance buried his face into her neck. "'M not angry at you," he whispered against his girlfriend's skin.

Bobbi brought her hands to his neck, gently running her hands though his hair. "I know," she answered, lifting her head to look at him. "But we agreed this morning that we would talk about things. You made me promise to talk about things when they got too much. So right back at you," she told him.

Lance sighed and nodded. "I'm going to be very protective of you," he confessed, watching her carefully. "Rumlow called you every name under the sun. After what Doughlas tried last night... I lost it. Bet the shit out of Rumlow. I was so angry that he would try to make you out to be some.. Gold-digging bitch."

Bobbi cupped his jaw and pressed her lips to his softly. "Don't worry about Rumlow. He got what he had coming," she whispered, breaking the kiss and resting her forehead against his.

Lance nodded. He placed his hands on her stomach. "Bloody Hell, Bob... We're going to be parents," he commented as if he was only realising the information she had told him that morning.

Bobbi let out a breathless chuckle. "Yeah, we are," she agreed, letting him pull her closer.

"I won't let you do this alone," he promised.

Bobbi nodded; she had no doubt that Lance would be there with her through this. Now they just had to find out how they would do it.

Should I continue?
