Back to Karl, Gabbi, and Eli.Everything had been perfect. Gabbi was beyond happy. Her best friend was happily married with twins. She can't believe their first birthday was approaching soon. Her adopted sister Maddi just got married and expecting her first baby girl. She's going to be an aunt again. Caleb and Mia are happily living together also. Gabbi couldn't help to think that something bad was going to happen to ruin their happy lives. That's life, right? Karl's cell rang. "Hello?" He answered. "Karl?" They asked "Henry?" Karl responded. "Yes, it's me. I'm coming to get my son." He replied. "Why now? He finally got adjusted well here and is thriving well. He has lots of family around him that love him and care about him. You can't rip him from a stable home environment so soon after everything that happened. He's just a baby and doesn't deserve that. He's went through too much already! Please don't do this!" Karl demanded "He is my son; he should be with me." Henry replie
Over to Liam and Rayna's house. Rayna just got off the phone with Gabbi. She went in search of Liam. He was in his office. She walked in. "Liam, I need you." She replied as she opened the door. "Are the twins asleep? How much time do we have?" He asked as he was unbuttoning his shirt. "Yes, they are asleep. But keep it in your pants. That's not what I meant." Rayna replied. "Damn honey you got my hopes up and just crushed them." He replied. "Liam! This is serious!" Rayna scolded. "So were my hopes." He muttered. "Karl's brother called. He said he's coming to get Eli and take him back to Germany." Rayna explained. "Ah hell." Liam replied and sat down hard. "Liam? Is there anything you can do about it? If he takes him Gabbi will be devastated! If she is then I'm going to be also. If she's sad and unhappy, I'm going to be sad and unhappy! You know what that means." Rayna warned. "Damn honey, I wish there was. There's nothing legally or council wise that I can do. Maybe I can t
"Yes. He has since the second he saw her in the airport. And no, we never taught him that." Karl explained. "I've tried getting him to say Gabbi, but he just won't." Gabbi replied. "Cuppie." Eli replied. "It is lunchtime, let's get you fed." Gabbi replied. "Food food." Eli repeated. Gabbi fixed lunch, even for Henry. He sat and watched her. Gabbi was about to burst as he sat watching her, she felt he was judging her. She's trying to act normal, but the man was getting on her last nerve. She felt so much hate for him while her heart was hurting. The rest of the week went by pretty much the same. Eli finally warmed up to Henry and now will let him even hold him without a fuss. He still won't call him da da. It's Saturday the they were leaving for Rayna's house. Karl had explained about the rest of her friends. And how they get together pretty regularly to catch up and spend time with the kids. Henry is skeptical of course. "So the house we're going to is Rayna and Liam's. Rayna
Rayna stood up and stormed out to her bedroom after her little tirade. Her temper got the best of her and she was too pissed to stay there and look at him any longer. A few minutes later Liam came in. "You ok now?" Liam asked. "No! I'm freaking pissed. The nerve of that jerk!" Rayna huffed. Rayna turned her back to him. He walked up to her and wrapped her in his arms. After a few minutes she finally cools down. She can feel his arousal pressing into her butt. "Liam really?" Rayna asked. "Sorry, I can't help it. You know how turned on I get when you get all badass!" He growled. He started kissing her neck. Then his hands slid up to her breasts. He kept kissing on her neck making her a different kind of hot. "We have guests." Rayna moaned. "They aren't going anywhere." Liam groaned in her ear. "Liam." She replied. "We have time." He assured her. He pulled off her shorts, and then his shirt came off next. His shorts and boxers followed after. He's fully aroused. The heat and ti
"What was she talking about?" Henry asked. "Long story short, she took on a she wolf and was kicking her ass, until I broke it up." Karl explained. "Wow, I don't know of anyone who's ever done that. What was the reason?" Henry asked. "The she wolf wanted me. She wouldn't quit, and Gabbi wouldn't back down. Gabbi will fight for what she loves. Me, her family, and Eli." Karl explained. "I'll stay at a hotel tonight. Give you guys until noon tomorrow to say your goodbyes. Have him ready and I'll text you when I'm on my way." Henry replied. "You're still going through with this?" Karl asked. "Yes." Henry replied. "Brother you're making a big mistake. Please, I'm begging you don! You'll destroy Gabbi and Eli." Karl begged. Henry just turned and left. Karl sighed before going to look for Gabbi. She was still in the bathroom. He tries the knob but it's locked. "Gabbi unlock the door." Karl replied. "Gabbi!" "I'll be out in a minute." She replied. It actually took her 15 minutes be
Karl was holding Gabbi on the bed. Rayna could tell they'd both been crying. Just standing in the doorway she could feel the grief they were going through. And it hurt her heart. She couldn't even imagine. If she lost her twins, she'd rather die than live. That thought scared her. It wasn't a thought she wanted to dwell on. They were lying very still, eyes open staring off at nothing. Uncertain as to what to do, she slowly approached the bed. Gabbi looked at her as she got close. The pain she saw in her eyes was enough to take her breath. She made up her mind what to do. Rayna laid down beside Gabbi and wrapped her arms around her. Gabbi turned to her side facing Rayna and put her forehead on Rayna's chest and started crying again. Huge sobs wracked her body. Karl started to get up, but Rayna grabbed his wrist and put it back around Gabbi and held on to it. She only had her comfort to give so that's what she did. He squeezed her hand in thanks. Then wrapped it back around Gabbi.
"Hey watch it! I am only three years older than you!" Liam declared. "And look much older." She giggled again. "Oh really? You're gonna pay for that remark." Liam growled. "Ok, but tomorrow." Rayna yawned. "No, now. You done started something." Liam warned. Liam reached between her legs and started rubbing her in just the right spot. She moaned at his action. And like always it set a fire of need between her legs. "Umm ok, maybe I'm not too tired after all." Rayna replied. She reached inside his pajama pants and he was already hard. They kissed and made love again. Then went back to the bathroom to clean up before going back to the bedroom. "Rayna, pajamas." Liam warned. "Yes sir!" She saluted him. "Rayan!" He growled. She put her pajamas on and they climbed into bed. Liam wrapped her in his arms and she was out like a light. Soon after he drifted off to sleep too. Over at Gabbi and Karl's house. It's been a rough 48 hours. They've slept off and on, and Gabbi has cried mo
Mia took a few breaths in and out. Then she sat down. "I'm pregnant!" "What? How?" Liam asked. "Well Liam, the boy.." Rayna started to say. Liam cut her off. "Rayna, I'm in no mood." "Carfeul babe. Or you'll find yourself hearing those same exact words every day and night for the next week!" Rayna retorted. He looked at her like "was she kidding"? And she returned the look that says "try me and see". He sighed. "Liam how is this possible? You all told me that Caleb couldn't get me pregnant!" Mia accused. "No sis, we said it's never happened, not that it could never happen. That my dear sister is a huge difference." Liam explained. "Now you tell me! Why didn't you explain it like that before?" Mia huffed. "So it is Caleb's?" Liam asked. "Liam, I am six weeks. I have not slept with another man in two years. So, yes it's Calebs!" Mia retorted. "Ok sorry, just making sure. Um did you not use ya know protection?" Liam asked. "Sometimes, but I was on the pill too. And I was forg
