His Abused and Depressed Mate

Babies?

Chris' POV

I couldn't stop watching that clip. Her body shaking horribly, her father's wide grin, her back up against the wall, her shooting them. I watched her father's body fall limp over and over again, on our floor. I shut the laptop as she slid beside me and plopped Ben on her lap, she didn't deserve to go through that? I put it aside and pulled Athena closer to me, so her head what laying on my shoulder. She looked up at me through her long lashes and asked me the strangest question, "Could we have more?"

"More what?" I replied, still unsure what he was talking about. She looked at the sleeping Ben in our arms,

"More of these," she giggled. I smirked and kissed her forehead,

"We should go practice first if you know what I mean," I winked, making her blush and roll her eyes,

"Not right now, maybe next year? How many kids should we have?" she questioned. I felt my stomach pit and I frowned,

"Remember what the doctor said about your weight? I don't know if we could have more," I replied, honestly,

"I'll just keep eating," she smiled and kissed my shoulder blade. I mimicked the smile and leaned on her head. My heart was happy from what she said, she was about 85 pounds, extremely light. "I really missed this. Us just talking. I thought you were..." she trailed off and covered us with a blanket, "I couldn't even feel the mate bond," she murmured,

"If either of us died, it would feel like we were sliced through the middle of our bodies with silver," I told her. She gasped and held me tighter, "My grandma told me. She lost her mate in a fire," I confessed,

"Oh- I'm sorry for your loss..." she whispered, clearly in thought. Suddenly, I remembered about a song I wanted to show her,

"I found a song for you- one sec," I pulled my phone out and gave her an apple earbud, "Just listen to the lyrics," I told her and played it.

(( You should play the song now (Unless you've already played it) lol ))

I watched as her face changed from fearful, to happy, to sad, then to normal. The song is true, I'm never leaving her side, no matter what. I love her so much, I can't explain in any other words than 'I LOVE YOU'

As the song played, I felt her take a shaky breath. Her eyes were glued to my abs, where the wound was healing. Then, she looked at Ben. He was still asleep, adorable and ours. My family is not to be messed with, ever. I'm ecstatic that her father is dead but furious and agitated that it was her who had to do it, she shouldn't have gone through that. The only one who should be able to kill in this family is me, Ben's going to be a good kid and Athena is too fragile and already messed up. I kissed her forehead as she sniffled, she was so perfect. She's sweet, nice, loving, caring, happy, fun, and mine.

When the song ended, she was teary yet managed to smile. I kissed her forehead and played a playlist of music, "I love you," she murmured before drifting off,

"I love you most," I joked. HA! I won! She responded with a quiet snore. I carefully leaned back, so that she was on my chest and laying down. Then, I grabbed Ben and held him on the other side of my chest, this was the cutest I've ever seen them.

Twenty Minutes Later

The door slammed open, so I caged Athena and Ben in my arms. Sun shone right into my eyes. By the scent, it was a rogue. I barely even had time to react before a gun was pushed into my temple, making Athena cover her mouth. She crawled away as she saw the person holding the gun, I'm guessing Liam. I handed Ben to Athena and put my hands to my head, sighing, "These games are bullshit," I turned around. Jack? I rolled my eyes, "What do you want?" I asked,
