Through it all
Part 33
*Selena's POV*
"Okay stay calm," I whispered to myself walking in laps around the room that used to be mine.
At this point I knew that Justin was calling the police. It was only a matter of time until they showed up to arrest Carter.
I had two option: tell Carter and help him escape while he can or be on Justin's side.
I didn't even know if Justin would forgive me. I don't even know why I did what I did. I know that murder is wrong for any reason and that it's a sin but I don't know, he's my brother.
On the other hand, I can see having a future with Justin. At least until all of this went down.
But what Sam said is right. Carter is in the wrong.
*Justin POV*
"Justin I'm home!" Aubrey's sweet angelic voice shouted through the house.
"Well look at that, for the first time I got home before you," I smirked walking around the corner.
She placed her bag on the sofa and walked over to me.
I opened my arms for her letting her walk into me and I held onto her delicate body.
"I had a hard day," she whispered.
"What happened baby?" I asked.
Before she would answer two little mini-us' came running in to greet their mother.
'I'll tell you later,' she mouthed giving me a weak smile.
She got on her knees on the floor giving both of her loves bone crushing hugs.
"What happened at school today?" She asked ready to hear all of their stories.
Kade ranted about what every single kid did and what consequence they got for their action and what they should have gotten.
Skylar on the other hand couldn't even remember her 'best friends' name at her pre-preschool. She could hardly remember what color she was on by the end of the day.
Once the kids were fed and family time was spent together, we put each of the kids to bed in their own nightly rituals.
Aubrey threw herself onto the bed in our room and shut her eyes tight.
"You're a good mom," I noted pulling off my shirt and tossing it in the dirty hamper.
"What makes you say that?" She asked opened an eye.
"Despite the fact that you had a bad day, you put on a smile and were fully there for your children," I explained replacing my work pants with a pair of basketball ones.
"That's what being a parent is. That's always how mine were and that's how I want it to be for Skylar and Kayden and any other kids we decide to have," she smiled propping herself up on her elbow.
"Other kids eh?" I asked with a smirk climbing onto of the bed.
"Not so fast Mr. Bieber," she said with a giggled and a complementary eye roll.
"I love you Aub."
"I love you, Justin. Till the end," she promised.
She kept that promise and I planned to keep mine. I had to keep this family safe and that's exactly what I was doing.
"Can you tell me exactly what you saw Mr. Bieber?" said Holbrook.
"The man with the tattoo. He had 3 stars on his shoulder," I said slightly turning and gesturing in the general area. "1 on top and 2 on the bottom."
"Were the filled in or not?" He asked writing something down.
"No, sir."
"Justin, you know I want to close this cause and put whoever did this to your lovely family behind bars," he said looking past me to my mom with the kids who sat in a few chairs in the hallway.
"But?" I prompted feeling a 'but' coming on.
"But a single tattoo isn't enough to convict someone or even enough to arrest them," he sighed giving his shoulders a slight shrug.
"His hair was brown. A dark dark brown almost black! His skin was dark! Almost a rust color. There has to be something. Isn't there a single photo of his face from the crime scene. Even a grainy, blurry one?" I pleaded.
"We can take him in for questioning but there's no guarantee we will get anything to help, let alone be able to make an arrest," he tried to reason but there was no way I could accept that. My wife deserved justice.
"Hold on, there may be a way I can make him admit what he's done," A female voice panted coming into the room.
I turned around in awe of who was standing before me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked with bitterness in my voice.
"You were right. I'm here to make it up," she spoke to me before addressing Detective Holbrook. "There is a way I can make Carter Gomez confess."

Kinda shorter than normal I know but there was a lot of stuff going on tonight and yeah.
Some people are confused about when Selena And Justin became official and I completely understand that. I realized I didn't put that in there very well so I'll address that in the next part.
I don't know when I will be posting next. I may have to work tomorrow so who knows when I can find time.
Anyway thanks for reading. I appreciate it(:
