Perfect Position

Chapter Thirty

Parker looked at him then down. "Richard you are far to old to be helping me. I can't risk your-".

"Parker, I have lived my life. I'm basically sitting here to help and one day die. I've lived amazingly. You can protect me and if it doesn't work I won't be angry and you shouldn't be ashamed....Let me help you." Richard said before Parker looked at me. 

"I'm going to let you make this call." He said to me. 

I looked at them both. "I don't want anyone hurt. Including you both. I wanna be the bait....if that means sending me in to the factory then so be it. Have the guys set up early that morning and have them waiting. We'll have to find a reason for you to be giving me to him and a way to get him into the pit." I said and they both nodded. "Tonight, we'll all have dinner with the boys and go over a plan. But, I want this to be in a week. Not tomorrow or the next day. I want a week to prepare and if fires a shot before then oh well." I said and they both nodded before Parker looked at me. 

"I'll let you play bait, but if you try anything I won't hesitate to jump in.". 

I nodded before looking to Richard. "Join us at dinner tonight. We're having dinner at his mom's restaurant at six. Be there and be ready to explain everything to the guys." I said and he nodded. 

"Thank you Richard. You have no idea how much I want him out of our lives." Parker said and Richard smiled. 

"Parker you're a cold soul without Layna. I've never seen you this happy and alive. That baby is going to be your entire world." He said and Parker and I both smiled before looking at each other. "I will be at dinner tonight." He said before he left the room and Parker checked his watch. 

"Time for the doctors." He said and I nodded before grabbing his hand. "We're going to be okay Layna. All three of us." He said and I nodded again before he kissing my head and grabbed his things. 

We walked out and went strait to the elevator. When we got down to the lobby it wasn't as busy as normal. We walked to the car and Parker helped me in with a smile before going to his side. I watched him pause as he looked at something, I couldn't see what but he spent a solid minute looking at it before getting in. "What was it?". 

"Louis. He was sitting across the street.". He said as he wrapped his hands around the wheel. 

"Did he see you?". I asked and he nodded. 

"He grinned.". 

"Lets get to the doctors." I said and he nodded. I looked behind, he was sitting in his car. I closed my eyes as I turned around. 

"Don't worry. I'll take care of him. When we get to the doctor I want you to go inside and I will wait in the lobby. I'll go back when they call your name but I'm going to watch the car and call Harrison to come sit." He said and I nodded as he started the car. He went the quickest way he could and parked in the front of the building. Before we got out he looked around, "I don't see him but go ahead and go in." He told me and I nodded before giving him a small kiss. As I got out I felt uneasy but I had to get through it. I managed to get inside before flipping out and walked to the front desk. 

"Name?" The older lady asked still looking at her computer. 

"Layna Mitchell.". 

She clicked a couple buttons before nodding. "He's finishing up with a patient. Go wait please." She told me and I nodded before going to an empty chair. As I waited I watched Parker. He was sitting on the hood of his car watching every car that passed. Something about him seemed so threatening at times. He was a scary man at times, but not to me. A few moments passed before he pulled his phone out, to call Harrison more then likely. 

"Ms. Mitchell?" The nurse called. 

I walked to the door and knocked before Parker came in and we walked to the nurse before she let us back. "I need you to stand on the scale please." She told me and I did as told. I gained four pounds. "Follow me please." She said with a smile. We walked down the left hallway before coming to the third door on the right. "Dr. Angelo will be in any second. Please change into that gown and lay on the chair." She told me and I nodded before she walked out. Parker grabbed the gown for me and helped me undress before tying the gown around my neck. 

"Are you nervous?" I asked as his hands shook. 

"I saw Louis. Harrison is on his way.". 

"I meant about this." I said and he smiled. 

"No honey.". He replied before the doctor walked in. 

"Good afternoon Ms. Mitchell. Is this your husband?" He asked with a smile. He was a young doctor. 

"No, boyfriend." I answered. 

He nodded, "Please lay down." He said before I did and he opened a couple buttons on my stomach before putting the gel on my stomach. It was freezing cold. "Are you having any serious problems?" He asked. 

"No, just morning sickness." I said and he chuckled. 

"I understand. Well, he sure are growing.".

I looked at Parker and the doctor. 

"He?" Parker asked as he stood up. 

"Yes? It's a boy guys?". I nearly jumped up. 

"Are you serious?" Parker asked and the doctor nodded before he zoomed in and showed us. 

"And this is his heartbeat." He said and I gasped as the little drum like sound started to play through the room. 

"I can't believe it." Parker said and I tried my best to read his face but it was unreadable. 

"A boy." I repeated.  

The doctor nodded. 

"I'll give you two some space." The doctor said before he headed out and Parker sat back down and looked down with his hands on his face.

"Are you okay?" I asked and he looked up, his eyes were full of tears before he nodded. 

"Of course I am baby." He said before he grabbed my hand. "I just...I can't believe it's a boy. I always thought about having a son but...I never thought I would." He said and I smiled before he kissed my hand. "I love you so much Layna. More then the world." He said and I smiled again before looking down. 

"Promise me something Parker.". I said and he nodded to me. "Promise, that no matter what you won't ever let anyone or anything hurt our little boy. Promise you'll pick him over me.". I said and he looked down before back up and nodded. 

"Always.".
