I just got in front of Jessie in time as three shots were fired. After she left to get ready, I got this gut feeling something was going to happen. I tell Sarah and she said she'd wear a gun hidden in her suit while we both wear bulletproof vests.
A forth shot goes off as Sarah takes out the shooter and I collapse in front of Jessie. I hear her screaming in fear as she kneels behind me, rolling me on my back. I hear her relieved breath when she realizes there's no blood. "Elliott," she chokes quietly tapping my cheeks.
I take in a gasping breath and groan in pain. "I'm okay," I say out of breath and take her hand from my face. "Are you okay?"
"My heart is racing and the twins are kicking like crazy, I'll be okay," she chokes in a breathy whisper as I push myself to sit up. Tears roll down her cheeks and asks, "How did you know to wear a vest?"
"I had a gut feeling after you left this morning," I grunt as I pick each bullet

JessieMollie gives me a ride to work, two days later as Elliott was still asleep from our wild night. Mollie has become a part of our relationship, but we're keeping it secret for now until her divorce is finalized.She has been sleeping in our bed with us and every night I get super horny and we both torment Elliott long into the late hours of the night.Mollie follows me to do a private blood draw to be sure she's pregnant, not trusting the at home test. I have her wait in my office while we wait to get the results. She rubs at my stomach as a distraction from the results, a light smile on her face. It falters when the lab tech brings in the envelope holding the results to her test.I feel her grow still beside me and saw that she was scared to see the results. When she doesn't take the offered envelope, I open it when we're alone again. We were both shocked to see what was written on the paper.It was negative. A second test showed he

Jessie It's my day off and Mollie stayed home not feeling well. It's been six weeks since the wedding and I had her take a pregnancy test. We were waiting for the results, laying in bed. I was resting against the headboard with her head in my lap. I was playing with her hair, waiting for the timer to go off. I haven't known her long, but I've never seen her sick. Elliott had already left early for her detective's exam. She finally got the cast off last week and it was her first day back to work. The timer goes off and I pick up the test on the nightstand. A smile forms as a plus sign stares up at me. I hold it for Mollie to see and she breaks into uncontrolled sobs. I rub her arm in comfort. She fought with a suspect last week, taking a blow to the stomach. She came home hysterical thinking her chance of getting pregnant was gone. "Can we take a ride to get it confirmed," she asks in broken sobs. "Of course baby," I say

ElliottMy captain let himself in minutes after what went down with Ryan. I was still trying to calm Mollie down. She's been sobbing the same thing over and over again, "You shouldn't have told him."Her body trembling in my arms as I rocked her from side to side on the couch. Jessie did her best to hug at her back, whispering soothingly in her ear. My captain took one look at Mollie's state and looked at her with sympathy. His eyes flick up to mine and says softly, "Detective, the three of you can take however long she needs off. I'll handle Ryan."He turns protective eyes to Mollie and says, "It's the least I can do as a friend of her parents, God bless them."Hearing this, Mollie lets out a calming breath. I let out a relieved sigh and kiss both their heads. I lean back against the back of the couch and she held my hand to her stomach along with Jessie's. Mollie's parents were killed in a car accident, two years ago. I was the one there for her w

ElliottIt's been a week since Jessie told me about the baby she lost before Reese. I haven't been letting her do anything while at home, Mollie either. They made a fuss the first couple of days until I gave them my reason why. After hearing about both babies Jessie lost, I don't want her to overwhelm herself with the twins. Being active at the hospital is one thing, it's her job. With everything going on with Ryan, I don't want Mollie stressing out during the first trimester of her pregnancy.Jackson called this morning and said that Ryan was found and taken into custody and charged with an account for attempted assault on a pregnant woman and for plotting a murder against a police officer. We were all relieved to hear that we no longer have to worry about him, but I'm not letting my guard down for nothing.As for Skye, we had an appointment with her doctor yesterday and she was eligible for the hearing implants.

JessieA bright, white light engulfs me and I'm blinded from my surroundings. I hold my hand up to shield my eyes and moments later, two silhouettes emerge. They grow bigger as they get closer and the closer they get, I realize they're people. Once I'm able to see their faces, I recognize her from the shrine Elliott has of her late wife, Miranda.I fall to my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. If I'm seeing her, something must be wrong. She takes my face in her hands, kneeling in front of me and smiles. She wipes my eyes and helps me to my feet. "I know what you're thinking," she says softly and her voice was angelic. She waves her hand and a portal shimmers in front of us, showing me sleeping in a hospital bed with Elliott and Mollie holding my hands. "You and the twins are fine. We just wanted to thank you."I look at them confused and ask, "Thank me for what?""You adopted our daughters as your own so they'd never be alone should something happen to Elliott," Melanie signs to me.

ElliottMollie was able to get me calmed down before dinner was done and thankfully no one walked into the kitchen. She's the only one who knows the truth and I won't even tell Skye because this is too much of a secret to bare and she already lost one mother. I was setting dinner on the island when I feel Jessie hug at my back. I look over my shoulder and she smiles lightly. I turn in her arms and her arms wrap around my neck, pulling me down for a kiss. Being able to still feel her lips on mine felt like a blessing that I'll never take for granted. Being able to hold her and feel the twins kick my hands was a relief all in its own. I owe my thanks to whoever is responsible for the miracle standing before me.She breaks from the kiss and looks at me with concern. I look at her confused and she wipes a tear I didn't realize slipped from my lashes. Thankfully she doesn't question it and gives me another kiss. I smile lightly and she turns to look at the variety of food I made. "Everyth

I told her everything and she promised to help keep it a secret.She promised to help me keep Jessie relaxed when I'm not around.

ElliottI woke to Jessie getting out of bed in the middle of the night. The twins were born a few hours ago and their cries for feeding have been every two hours. She takes Melanie, afraid to tend Miranda until she knows for sure she's going to be okay. She gives me this pleading look and I'd kiss her forehead before gingerly scooping her from her hospital cradle.I check her diaper and it's a little wet. I change her because the last time I let it go and she was feeding, she peed through the diaper. Yeah, I had to change and quickly shower. Hahaha not funny. As I'm feeding her, Devon listens to her heart and lungs. She just smiles, marks her chart and closes the folder. She walks over and talks with Kelly quietly. They catch me watching and move to the hall. That raises my attention and I become alarmed of the child in my arms. I look over at Jessie and she was smiling at Melanie. She looks up at me, never losing the smile and I smile back so I don't alarm her.I look back down at M

JessieIt's the final days left of this stressful pregnancy. Elliott has asked Kelly and Jennifer to stay in the guest room the last few days after I had my first false labor. Our parents took the kids so it was less for Elliott to worry about. She's been on edge as the days get nearer the end. She's scared that something will go wrong in the delivery room and when I had that false labor, she had flashbacks of the day she shielded me at the coffee shop.Mollie is coming along nicely with her pregnancy and just started her sixteenth week. Her baby is healthy and has just started kicking. She's been staying with her mother the last few days. I feel bad. Between my two false labors and her baby's late night kicking, she hasn't been sleeping. I was laying between Elliott's legs in bed. It's been the only way I've been able to get comfortable to sleep. Kelly and Jennifer were asleep on either sides of us and the sheets suddenly were soaked. I was feeling pressure between my legs and my br
