The Bodyguard

20

I stand up and looked at Dimitri. He was in his diaper and his wet hair stuck to his forehead and he smiled. He really needed a hair cut. His hair was getting to long. He was born with a fully head of hair and now his hair was a little pass his shoulders. I grab the brush out of his hand and the comb and sat him in my lap.

"Daddy!" He said and I smiled.

"Yes son?" I asked.

"Mama gone." He looked around the room.

"She's taking a bath."

"Booble bath?" He asked and i nod.

"Yes a hot bubble bath." I said and he jumped up. He ran to the bathroom. I sigh as he pushed the door opened. He ran to the tub and looked at Aphrodite. He smiled and grabbed a handful of her hair.

"Booble." He said and I see Aphrodite smile.

"Dimitri!" I said as he climbed in the tube he sat in Aphrodite lap. Her eyes stayed close as he laid back against her. "Dimitri you've had your bath now let mommy have hers." I went to pick him up but she raised a hand and I stopped.

"It's fine. She said and I looked at her. She opened her eyes and I see they glimmered with unshed tears. She wrapped her arms around Dimitri and held him close. She buried her face in his hair and I watched as the years fell.

"What's wrong?" I sit on the edge of the tube.

"Nothing." She said. "I'm just so happy to have you two." I smiled.

"In glad to have you to baby." I said and she smiled.

Once they was done with their bath she went to the closet to get dressed. I dressed Dimitri as he tried to talk but gibberish just came out of his mouth. I sat him on the bed and smiled. He played with his feet and fell back in his back. I frown and looked at the closet. She's been in in there for a hour. I hear a loud bang from the closet and her cry out. I smell blood and shot up. I open the door to see her in nothing but her robe cornered by a rogue. The secret passage in here was open. She looked at me and frowned.

I grab the rogue by his neck and snapped it. I looked back at her and she frowned.

"Why didn't you do anything?" I asked. "Your a highly trained warrior?"

"Theodore." She moaned in pain and blood began to drip from her mouth and I frown.

"Dite?"

"Theo-" she said and moves her hand from over her stomach. She looked at her blood covered hands and I frown. She fell forward and I caught her.

"Theodore get my daughter and grandson to the safe house now!"

"Why what's wrong alpha?"

"Rogues are attacking."

"Ok."

"DADDY!" Dimitri yelled and frown. I hear a growl and frown. I laid Aphrodite down.

"Don't go." She said and held onto me.

"I'll be back baby. Just stay awake ok."  She nods.

I see my son sitting on the bed with a rogue towering above him. My son cried and looked at me. I growled and grabbed the girl. I throw her against the wall and she struggled to get back up. She collapsed and was out cold. I picked up my son and walked back to the closet. Aphrodite was up and leaned against the wall.
