Colby's POV
Showing the kids around the office was actually really fun. I knew I shouldn't have been so casual about having them down here but I couldn't imagine how scary and confusing this all was.
Life was going to get more confusing the further along Julia got with the pregnancy.
I was terrified to have a kid especially after everything that was going on.
I knew I needed to talk to Julia about what she did while I was away. I was afraid she made some enemies that were going to come after her and the baby.
We would all have to stay out for a while, which might create some issues.
Jenna and Julia were already going at it and it seemed like only the beginning since they would be trapped in the same room.
"Colby?" Juniper asked as I tucked her into bed. "Yes?" I asked and brushed her hair back. "When I wake up will you be here?" She asked as I grinned.
"Yeah, I'll be here." I said then looked over at Julia. "We'll both be here." I said as Juniper nodded.
"I love you." She said then wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. "I love you too, kid." I said then kissed her head.
"Get some sleep." I said as she pulled away and got comfortable. Once she was tucked in I looked over at Carter, Sam, and Jenna.
"You guys don't have to go to bed but be quiet so Juniper can sleep." I said as they all nodded.
"I'm gonna go talk to Sam, will you be okay?" I asked and looked at Julia.
"Hopefully." She said quietly with a sigh. I knew she was struggling with the idea of being away from me.
I couldn't exactly blame her since I faked my own death and she had to mourn the loss only for me to come back.
Looking back it was really sick and twisted.
"I won't be long." I said then leaned down and gave her a kiss.
"Okay." She said with shining eyes. I couldn't get over how beautiful she looked. I've seen her beyond broken before and I never wanted her to feel that way again.
I wanted to run away with our baby and the kids and just hide away. Having a baby in the crime world was the most dangerous thing you could do.
A baby was defenseless and was the perfect way to get someone you want dead to die.
One wrong move and things could go south.
I wasn't going to tell Julia that though.
I made my way down the hall and towards Sam's office. I knew I had so much to explain to him and needed his help with the next steps.
When I knocked on the door I could hear Sam shuffling around before he opened the door.
"Colby. What's going on, bro?" He asked with a grin. "Ya know, just coming back from the dead." I joked as he stepped aside so I could walk into the office.
"I should have known you would pull something crazy like this." He said with a laugh. "What can I say? I'm predictable." I said with a shrug.
"Not at all. I just thought you would tell me your plan." He said as I nodded.
"I would have loved to tell you but I couldn't tell anyone if I wanted it to work." I explained and sat down.
"We do need to figure something out though." I said with a sigh. "About?" Sam asked and sat across from me.
