To run to the hospital only takes three minutes if you cut through the trees but since he is taking the roads, it takes him much longer. He makes it to the hospital nine minutes later. He grabs the kids and rushes to the nurses' station in the emergency room.

The nurse, Karrigan Patterson, looks at him and the kids curiously as he runs up to the desk. “Hey Liam, I will need you to fill out the paperwork for her if you are with her. But for now, I will take you to her and just bring the papers in later.” She smiles at the little boy, who just looks at her. “Right this way.”

She leads them to a door down the hall and with a light knock, she pushes the door open and stands back, giving them room to enter. Liam steps into the room, with the boy tucked behind him. He wants to make sure it was alright for the boy to look before he lets him fully come in. No need to traumatize the kid more than he already is.

Liam sees the girl lying on the bed with IV tubes coming out of her. She looks

    Liam was taking the woman to get the things that she will need for her and the children, whether she likes it or not. The little brown headed boy is filthy; his clothes are stained and tattered. He has dirt all over him and he looks like he hasn't had his hair washed properly in a while. He needs new clothes to wear, if nothing else. Liam knows that she is hesitant and wary. He even understands. She doen't know him, so why should she trust him? He gets where she is coming from, but he can not see turning down something you and your kids need, out of misplaced pride. That is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. It makes no sense. Liam grabs a shopping cart and puts the baby carrier across the basket, securing it with the safety strap. Once he has the baby carrier fastened to the cart he moves aside so that the girl could push the cart. He holds the little boy's hand and they walk beside her. She gives the two of them an odd look when she sees that the child is willing to

    Greer turns around to look at the man who has spoken. He is nice looking, with short blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. He is heavily muscled, tall, and broad. The man looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He is smiling at her, so she feels rude for not responding, so she says rather awkwardly “Oh, um, thank you." “I'm Hayes, by the way.” “Nice to meet you, Hayes.” She sees Hunter and Liam coming toward her, so she says to him, “Excuse me.” She pushes her cart towards them without waiting for a response from the man, smiling at Liam lovingly. She hopes the man will get the wrong idea or in this case the right 'wrong' one. “A few minutes, huh?” Liam grins sheepishly, “We kind of got caught up looking at the movies. Since he never had toys I figured he probably didn't have an extensive DVD collection either, so we got a few.” He holds up a huge stack of Disney movies and other animated movies. “We got a few movies for you too, but since we didn't know what you li

    Liam pulls in to a fast food place. “I'm starving. What about you, buddy?” He looks back at Hunter, who nods. The boy still wasn't talking much to him, but he will hold his hand when they walk through the store or in the parking lot. The kid will point and nod, as well. It is not as if there is anything wrong with him being non-verbal. He has talked to Liam before, so maybe he just does not have much to say. Liam figures that he will talk when he is ready. “Well, let's go then.” Liam gets out of the truck and comes around the front to help Greer out before he moves to the backseat to get the kids. He takes them inside and gets the group seated at a table before he asks Greer what she wants to eat. She says that she isn't hungry, so he walks away. She watches him as he walks to the counter to order, noticing the changes in him from the last time that she had seen him. She can not help but notice how handsome he is now. Greer gets comfortable at the table and unstraps Gemma from h

    But she tries not to think of that right now. He doesn't say anything else and neither does she; both of them just letting that conversation die. Liam grabs the bags of toys and heads towards a room in the back of the house. Greer is curious, but she doesn't follow. Instead, she goes to get her bags out of the living room, taking all of the clothes out and throwing them in the machine. She would not start the load until after the baths were had and she adds the clothes they were wearing now. Looking through the store sacks, she finds a sleeper for Gemma and a pajama set each for her and Hunter. Then she grabs the bag that holds their toiletries. Greer picks up the baby carrier and tells Hunter to follow her, leading them up the stairs and down the hall to the bathroom, following the directions that Liam gives her. It is a fairly spacious bathroom with a claw foot tub resting under the window, a stand-alone sink with a beautiful black pump-style faucet, with a beautiful intricat

    After the movie, Liam makes the evening meal while Hunter plays with his toys and Greer sits at the table, with Gemma in the bouncing seat that Liam had bought her. The baby reclines while the contraption bounces her. Greer has never seen anything like it, but he says that his cousins loved it when they were babies, so he put the baby in it. Judging by how great she was being and how content she is, Gemma must like it too. “Are you on the run from the law or from somebody?” Greer is so caught up in her own thoughts and watching the baby in her bouncer, that she had not even given thought to what Liam might want to talk about. Apparently, this is what is on his mind. She does not know how to respond so she decides to tell him the truth. “Probably both, to be honest with you. Mostly from somebody but I technically broke the law, as well.” Greer figures that he would demand answers, not like what he hears and then kick her out. Or something along those lines. Instead, he mulls it ov

    The next morning, Liam wakes up long before the others. He goes to the bathroom to relieve himself, take a shower, brush his teeth and so on; his usual morning routine. After he is finished and heading downstairs, he hears a noise as he passes the guest room that Lilah and the kids are occupying. Liam recognizes the sound of Gemma cooing to herself. He had heard each time the baby had woke up hungry in the night, each time Greer had gotten up to fix a bottle or change her diaper. With his wolf hearing, it was hard not to. What he found surprising though washow hard he had to fight the urge to come to her. He did not think that Greer would appreciate the intrusion. Not wanting the baby to wake Greer up, he pushes the door open and tiptoes in. He finds Greer fast asleep with Gemma lying tucked in her arms, her little hand resting on Lilah's breast. The baby is smiling up at the ceiling, cooing away. Cain is sound asleep, flat on his back with his arms and legs spread wide. His one

    Lunch is ready and on the table, with everyone seated, when there is a knock at the door. Liam walks over to pull it open, revealing a beautiful woman. She is tall and slender with dark chocolate skin, raven black hair and vivid green eyes. She looks like a model that has stepped right off of the cover of a magazine. Greer, for reasons unknown to herself, is not too thrilled as she watches Liam pull the woman into a hug. The beautiful woman laughs like his hug is the most delightful thing in the world and Greer bites down so hard on her teeth that she fears she will crack a molar. “Come on in. You're just in time.” With an arm around her shoulder, Liam turns her to face them. “I will introduce you. This is Greer, that is Hunter and that little angel is Gemma.. Greer, meet Ebony.” Liam pulls the chair next to his out for her, waiting until she is seated before he takes the chair beside her. Greer gives her a small smile and a somewhat reserved, “Nice to meet you.” “It's great

    The boy had heard the man's steps on the landing, so he invited him into the room. Liam enters the room, clearly about to say something, but just then he sees her and he just stops in the doorway where he proceeds to stare at her with his mouth ajar. Once he seems to realize that he is standing their like an imbecile with his mouth hanging open, he shakes himself, “I'm sorry. I didn't know you were, um, not dressed.” “It's quite alright. You were invited into the room,” Greer shoots Hunter a mock glare, then smiles at him as the little boy grins at her, unabashed. Liam watches the by-play between the siblings but he can not focus on the exchange. The only thing on his mind is how the sigh of her has caught his attention. Greer stands beside the shower with only a damp towel covering her. Liam watches as drops of water cut paths across her skin and he wishes that he could replace that drop of liquid with his finger tips. That the soft pads of his fingers could brush her skin in

    Greer sits up in bed, gasping for breath. Liam is beside her whispering, “Shh... shh.. it's okay, baby, it was just a nightmare.” Greer looks around, seeing the children safe beside her, before she looks at Liam, beside her in nothing but his boxers. Lyle isn't here and neither is Shera. It was just a dream. She is breathing heavy from fear but she is trying to calm herself down. Liam wraps his arms around her and pulls her into his warm, bare chest. Hunter is against the wall like always and Gemma is in the middle between them. Greer picks the baby up into her arms and moves her over so that she and Liam can lay down. She looked at him, “Lie with me, please.” He nods his head and adjusts himself on the bed, so that he is laying down beside of her. She lays back in his arms with her head in the crook of his shoulder. Her breath fans his chest. Gemma is beside Hunter, sleeping peacefully, so Greer turns over to face Liam. Her hand is resting on his flat stomach, her legs tangle

    “What?” “You heard me. Do you want to stay here with me forever?” Liam asks her needing to know if that is something she can even imagine before he tells her everything. “I, um-” “Yes or no, baby. There is no right or wrong answer here.” Liam says. “If you want us to-” Greer knows the exact answer that she wants to give him she just does not think that she is brave enough. She has never been one that can just put herself out there. She always has to hold a little of herself back so that if she gets hurt, at least it isn't every part of her that gets damaged. She still has something to go on. But Liam is asking her for everything. If she answers him truthfully then she will be handing him her whole heart. And that terrifies her. “This is not about what I want, Greer. This is about what you want. You are the only one that gets to make decisions for you and the children. I will not try to pressure you into anything you don't want. If you don't want to stay forever, that does not

    Time flies by as they sat there, playing together as, well, a family. They weren't a family though, he has to keep telling himself. He glances at his watch, “It's time for us to get ready. I'll watch the kids while you take a shower.” Greer nods and leaves the room. He looks at Hunter playing with the toys and the little boy looks back at him with a smile. Liam smiles back at the kid. The boy just needs positive male attention. Somebody with a Y chromosome to love him instead of scare him. Greer had done her best, but how could a teenager be expected to raise a child in a small bedroom, without any form of help? He looks at Hunter, then at Gemma in his lap and was, not for the first time, totally in awe of Greer. Greer was a survivor, there was no doubting that. She could handle anything life threw at her and clearly come out on top. He knows that she is scared of Lyle. She is worried about him and Shera showing up, but Brody wants her to have faith in him. Could she trust him t

    Greer wakes up a few hours later when it is still very early morning. Now is the perfect time to go while the baby is still asleep. She was beginning to sleep through the night, not wanting bottles at all hours. Greer figures that the routine and stability that they found in this pack house contributed greatly to that but she pushes that thought away. Yeah, life is good here but they will just have to make a better life somewhere else, she tells herself. Greer rolls out of the bed, trying not to disturb the children. She doesn't want to wake them until they are leaving. She goes to the armoire, pulling out the bags she had carried her stuff in before. She opens it and begins stuffing clothes in it. She pulls out the stroller and props it against the bed. She stuffs all the baby's sleepers in there and Hunter's clothes as well before she grabs her warm shirts. She looks at the dresses Liam had bought; he had given them to her as a surprise a few days ago. Greer feels like crying.

    They about their day and she tries her best to act normally. Tomorrow afternoon is when Belinda was due to return and Greer has made up her mind that she is leaving in the morning. Maybe with her gone, they will choose to let Belinda keep thinking that she was dead. If she has finally made her peace with it, then there is no use upsetting the apple cart now. She knows that Hunter will be so upset. He loves Liam and the house; loves what seemed like a real home and family. Yet, it isn't their home and they aren't a part of Liam's family. It will be horrible leaving, especially since she is pretty sure that she had fallen in love with Liam. But she has to go. She kept to herself as Liam's family was there. She talked and was polite, but any chance she got to excuse herself for a moment, she took it. She went to the bathroom five times while they were there, just because she needed to take a breath and to tell herself that she was not part of them. Even if they made her feel like s

    It does not take them long to go through the store and get everything on Adam's list. Within twenty minutes they are finished and back in his truck. Ten minutes of shopping and ten minutes of him talking to the beautiful girl that stopped him at the door. Greer figures that she was a girlfriend before and wants to be again, judging by all the possessive 'hands off, he belongs to me' looks that the girl was giving her. Greer has questions about her but she does not ask them. She has no right to. After Liam says goodbye to the girl, they go to the truck. Greer feels good because the whole time they were talking to the obviously interested girl, Liam never left her out. He kept his hand on her back the whole time, he included her in the conversation by asking her questions about whatever subject they were discussing. But her favorite part was when he had slung his arm around her shoulders and said, “Come on, honey. We have to get back to the kids. Dad and Hunter will be driving Mom

    Greer watches Liam as he cuddles Gemma close and kisses her hair. He carries her to his mom, handing her over when Bella holds out her arms. Adam comes over to inform Liam that the whole family is coming over for supper and that he needs them to run to the store in town and pick up a few things. Adam turns to Greer, “I need you to ride with him and make sure he gets everything. Don't worry about to kiddos, they are fine here. We will take good care of them. Becca should be home in a few minutes, she just went to visit some friends that she missed while we were gone but when she gets back, she will drag out all kinds of toys for him. She goes crazy over kids.” Greer smiles at the alpha, but inside she is very aprehensive about leaving the children with anyone but especially people they don't know. Yet about the time that she opens her mouth to decline is the same time that Hunter comes over to Adam and tugs on his shirt. “Yeah, buddy?” Adam asks the child with a big smile. “Liam

    Greer improves substantially over the next week and a half. Liam makes her take her medicines on time and keeps a drink constantly in front of her, forcing her to drink. Eventually her werewolf healing must have been slighly activated by being in a pack and with his burgeoning alpha aura, because she is healed completely and she has more strength than she ever has before. Besides all that, her senses are sharper. Each day she can see and hear better than before. Ebony had filed the petition with the human courtsand they were suppose to hear something today. Ebony was confident in the ruling though. Greer not so much. If she wasn't granted guardianship then Shera could come and get the kids whenever she wanted. Greer knows herself well enough to know that she'd do something desperately crazy before she let Lyle and Shera get the kids. Not wanting to dwell on it, she had tried to keep her mind off the ruling for the last few days. It only worked about thirty-seven point two percent
