I smiled at that, and squeezed Gabe’s hand. He squeezed back, and we watched as the doctor left it in place so we could see his face and upper torso.

I was released from the hospital two hours later. Gabe left after he knew the baby was all right to go speak with Luke. Cheyenne had shown up, and was walking out with me now. I’d yet to see Gabe since he left, and I was getting worried that he went back to the warehouse himself and killed the rest of the people he could find.

He was right outside the entrance though, talking with the redhead that I now knew as Downy, and Luke. At some point he must have changed his clothes and had his cuts cleaned, because there was a few white strips on his face and neck. Both officers looked relaxed. However, Gabe did not. His shoulders were tense, and he was nodding his head to whatever Luke was saying to him.

They stopped when they saw us, of course, and turned towards me to watch my progression. Once there, I curled around Gabe and hugged him with everything I had at that moment.

“Let’s go home. I don’t want to be here anymore.” I said to him.

“I can’t. Apparently, I’m needed for questioning. I have to go down to the station. You can go home with Cheyenne though. The cops arrested everyone else that was left at the warehouse. They questioned a few of them, and they squealed on their friends when they were faced with the charges that were set against them. No one is left to hurt you anymore.” He said softly.

Relief poured through me. It’d been a long seven months, and I was finally free to go to the fucking grocery store by myself again. No more listening to Max whine about how embarrassed he was by my couponing. No more bodyguards following me around while I buy my granny panties. I was so relieved; I almost forgot what else he said.

“What do you mean, you’re being questioned?” I hissed.

Not giving him time to answer, I turned to Luke and Downy and glared at each of them. “What’s the meaning of this?”

“Down, Mama Bear. It’s only routine. We need to get his account down, and the easiest way to do that is down at the station.” Downy said with his hands up.

“Well then that means I can come with him. Don’t you need mine as well?” I said sweetly.

Gabe laughed and gave me a soft kiss on the forehead. “Go rest, sweet cheeks. I’m gonna go. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

“You better. You’ve got until three, that’s four hours, before I come down there myself. Trust me; you don’t want me to come down there.” I said giving each man a good glare before turning and walking to Cheyenne’s truck.



The bed dipped behind me, and soft lips ran up the side of my face. Gabe smelled freshly showered, which reminded me I needed one too.

“Why didn’t you wake me? I need a shower too.” I said to Gabe.

“Sorry baby, I’ll take another one with you.”

He helped me up, and stripped off his boxers before helping me out of my clothes and into the shower.

“So what happened?” I asked.

He soaped up my hair, being careful to avoid the stitches on the back of my neck. “Apparently killing four people causes a lot of paperwork. They wanted to make sure it was a righteous kill. Which it was. They dropped all charges that were against me.”

“What?” I screeched. “You had charges brought up against you?”

“Uh, yeah. Sorry for not explaining that well earlier. I didn’t want to worry you.”

I rolled my eyes at his attempt levity. Of course, he would keep the fact that he was being arrested from me. Max had stopped by and stayed with me until I got tired and fell asleep on him. Literally on him though. I used him as a pillow, and he let me because he was worried about me.

He wasn’t the most touchy feely kind of person, but he’d do anything for his baby sister. “Max went home?”

“Yeah, he was here until I got in. Then went home. Said you had a rough couple of hours.”

I had. I cried on and off for the rest of the afternoon, and then fell asleep. I’d wake up screaming, and then Max would soothe me back into sleep again.

“I almost got you and our baby killed. I almost lost two of the most important people in my life.” I whispered.

“Oh, Em. It’s all right. It wasn’t your fault, and you know it. All you were responsible for was making friends with a stupid kid.” He said gruffly into my hair.

I believed him, too. For the first time in hours, I felt like I could breathe again.

“I love you, Gabriel.”

“I love you, too.”

Chapter 16

Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.

“Are you ready?” I asked Gabe.

We were at the courthouse. It’d been one month since the accident. One long month of drama. One long month of hair pulling, scratch your eyes out fun battling it out with a lawyer that Gabe’s ex employed.

She’d tried everything under the sun to undermine my abilities as a parent. Today was the day the judge would rule over our case.

I was scared shitless. This was the day Cora comes home. For good. We’d been in deliberation for nearly five hours now. We were on a lunch break, and I was about to die of starvation. I was going on my eighth month of pregnancy, and I was still no bigger now than I was five months ago.

Not that you could tell from my appetite though.

I turned and studied Gabe’s beautiful face. “I’m gonna go to the car and get my Lunchable.”

He nodded absently, and I left without looking back at him. He was in a mood. His ex was a total bitch, and kept bringing up things that “supposedly” made him a bad father. Like the fact that he killed four men months ago. Not that saving the life of his wife, unborn child, and himself was worth it.
