°Vence°
The ride to Nevada was torturous. I miss the constant small disagreements with Judith and the soft little snores of Isle. Even the constant groans of pain from Emily.
I grip the steering wheel hard and swerve into the nearest hotel parking lot. Cars sat abandoned in the night and curtains were drawn til nit even a speck of light could be shown through.
I pull into the very back and turned off the car. The faint howls of the night quietly echoed around the car. My phone buzzed in the glove compartment and I pulled it out.
Judith
I sigh and turned the phone completely off. If they were to hear my conversation and find out where they were it wouldve all been for nothing.
A black van pulls up beside me and I groan. Damn it's only been twenty hours, he must have a tracker on the car.
Three buff men surrounded my. Car and aimed their pistols at my head. I raised my hands up slowly and the leader taps on my window.
I roll down the window and glare at the dude. He was slightly shorter than me and I could tell in his eyes i slightly intimidate him.
"You know what we are here for, where is she?"
"I don't know."
"Here's a better question, where is your family?" I smiled and sucker punched his face.
His face was bleeding and his little henchmen step closer. I raised my hands. The dude stood up holding his nose which was bent at an odd angle.
"Here's a tip buddy, keep my family out of your mouth. Next time I'll kill you."
"Where is the girl, Vence?!"
"Like I said, keep my family out of your mouth. Now, are you going to take me to Thomas or what?"
Christian's POV
"How could he just leave like that?!" I groan in frustration.
Ever since Vence left Judith and Emily have been losing their minds. Poor Isle cried herself to sleep and is now peacefully laying in her bed.
"He's not even answering his damn phone! To think I married this idiot!" Judith yells and chucks her phone across the room.
Dustin runs and catches it just before it could shatter into a million pieces. Dustin growled under his breath and I sent him a warning glare.
The last thing we need is for all of us to lose our shit. I stand and walk over to Emily, angry tears flow down her face.
I crouched and laid my head her lap. She stares down at me and quietly nods. I love that she can do that, just look at me and know what I'm thinking.
"He did turned himself to save the location of where you guys are. Now, stop stressing." I rub my hand softly over her tummy.
"He's right. Its not good for the babies. Get some rest dear and I'll tell you if anyhing comes up." Judith agrees and gives me a soft smile.
"Ok mom." She sniffles in a cute way. I refrain myself from bear hugging her and help her stand up.
I keep a watch on her balance and her hand to make sure I dont hurt her. I couldnt lose them again. I lead her upstairs and into our bedroom.
A small gasp escapes her lips and her hand flies to her stomach. Concern and fear wash over me.
"Whats wrong? Are you hurt?" Tears coat her eyes and a small loving smile creeps on her face.
"They kicked." She says so quietly. I placed my hand on her stomach and felt two feet kick my hand. Emily let out quite gasps everytime she felt them.
"They're restless, just like their mother." He glares playfully before continuing the walk down the hall. I open he door slowly and she freezes in the door frame.
I may have went out of my way to decorate the room up a bit with two baby cribs. One was decorated in all blue and the other was pink.
"Its beautiful."
"How? I havent even finished." I kiss her head and lead her to bed. She slips off her pants and I try to control the urges that come to my mind.
I tuck her gently into bed and she closes her eyes. I turned to leave but her hand grabs my bicep, almost in a fearful way.
"Can you stay? Just till I fall asleep." Fear danced in her eyes. I nod and crawl into bed behind her. I wrap my arms securely around her and she releases a shaky breath onto my chest.
"Emily?" She hums in response and it sends a vibration through my body.
"You can leave me again, Ever. I was so lost and confused and with you carrying the kids I-" she connects our lips together.
Her lips softly molded into mine as she tugged on my bottom lip. I pulled her closer by her lower back. She groans into before pulling away to catch her breath.
"I'm never leaving." She pants and stares into my eyes. I kiss her forehead gently and rest her head on my chest.
"Go to sleep princess."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk downstairs and see the guys sitting on the couch deep in thought. I sit in the chair and run my fingers through my hair.
"Where's Judith?" I ask finally looking up from my palms.
"She went to go lay down with Isle. That little squirt has grown up so much since the last time we've seen her." I nod and laugh at the memories that flood my brain.
"She called Judith mom and Vence dad. I mean granted I did the same thing but she's only been with them for months." Tyler said lost in his own world.
"Dude dont think about it too much." Dustin assures him.
"No. Its my fault. I made her think our mom was a monster when she was just scared. Still that doesnt make up for what she did but our seed producer was just a dick."
"You cant blame her for feeling the same way you do, especially after what she learned about her past. Plus she's lived with them for months and they were probably protecting her." I countered
"I'm not saying its a bad idea but what if, since we both call them mom and dad. What if they adopt us?"
"Would your parents give up custody?"
"My father is dead but mom she wouldn't give us up without a fight. David wont give her up either, thats his kid after all." Th shook his head.
A piercing scream and cries voice from upstairs. We took off in a dead run and swung the door open to my room. Emily sat petrified rocking herself on the bed.
Judith sat beside her and held he close trying to calm her down. Isle sat on her knees trying to keep her tears at bay.
"What happened?"
"Daddy is gone....he's been taken by Thomas. Thats what sissy..dreamed about." Isle spoke up before running into Tyler's arm. He picked her up and cradled her as she cried.
"We have to go back."
