Second Chances

Chapter 5- Say I Do!

Joe out of the two of them was still the better cook so he made some snacks for them to munch on.

Fiona quickly showered while her loverboy made them some lunch. She started thinking about what she was going to tell Papa when he returned. It made her uneasy, but she was sure she had made up her mind about what she wanted to do and how she wanted to live out the rest of her life, which did not include knotty pine.

After eating lunch, Joe could easily tell what was on Fiona's mind. He read her like an open book and began to delve inside the complicated mind and inner workings of Fiona Goode.

She was sitting in their small living room staring out the window watching some birds flying around. He gently came behind her and rubbed her shoulders gently. He felt her tense shoulders relax.

" It will be alright- cabin or no cabin, wherever you are my home is with you and our child. You're stuck with me forever." he laughed. The thought of being by her side forever was a comforting one. Joe loved her so much he had killed for her.

Fiona smiled softly. " A- are you sure this is what you want?" She finally turned to him, to inquire she was making the right choice for their future.

" I want whatever is going to make you happy, babydoll. Whether that is here in this cabin or back in Louisiana." he knelt next to her and cupped her worried face gently in his hands.

" Everything is going to be fine." He kissed her head.

Fiona silently held his hands tightly in hers as they waited for midnight to come quickly. Joe tried to keep her mind off of it by reading a novel and cuddling Fiona close.

............... Hours pass...................

It's now 10 minutes to midnight and Fiona anxiously stared out the window of their room, listening and watching the storm that was fiercely happening outside. She snuggled a bit closer into her Axeman as he snored like a freight train and gently rubbed her belly. She could tell their baby was asleep. She chuckled a bit, everything about this seemed so comforting.

Her heart was racing, unsure of when Papa was going to show up, she was a little nervous, truthfully seeing him again. She wanted him out of her life for good after this.

" Fiona Goode..." she heard an eerie voice whisper as she started to drift off and fall asleep.

Her eyes shot open and her palms got sweaty as she gently rose up from the bed. She made her way into the sitting room where she found Papa sitting in a chair.

" Tell me, have you made a decision yet?" he asked grinning at her.

Fiona, keeping her distance from the man nodded, as she stared into her bedroom where she could make out Joe's figure as he slept. " I have..." she spoke softly, but confidently hoping he couldn't trace a hint of fear in her body.

Fiona wasn't used to being afraid as the Supreme, but now since she no longer held that title, she felt exposed in a way.

There was far more at risk since she didn't have any magic running through her veins anymore. This situation left her uneasy.

" Go ahead then, tell me what you want."  he said.

" You can have my child's powers,and we want to go back Louisiana. Back to New Orleans, to the way things...used to be, only, I want the terms we agreed upon." she said as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Papa laughed wildly at the blonde.

" As you wish...you drive a hard bargain, witch..." he whispered as he approached her. Reaching his hands out he grabbed for her stomach and began some sort of incantation, Fiona began to feel dizzy before her eyes rolled back and she hit the ground with a thud.
