Fated love Chapter nine
ShawnIt's the day of the funeral for Abbigail's Aunt Carolyn. I was dressed in my ceremonial uniform from the Marines. I had my walking boot on and finishing up straightening my medals when Abbigail steps out of our closet. She was wearing a form fitted dress that showed off the small bump she was starting to form.She wore her hair in its usual manner and a pair of black flats to finish her outfit. I walk up to her and her hands roam, getting a feel of me in my uniform. Her hands reach my face and her sad eyes showed concern for me. "What's scaring you," she asks with concern. "That wearing this at your aunt's funeral is going to trigger my PTSD, but I want to wear this out of respect for your aunt's service in the Air Force," I say in a scared whisper. She gives me a sad smile and gives me a kiss. "I'll be right there next to you," she says softly, coming in my arms.My mother knocks on the doorway and asks, "Are you two ready to leave?"Abbigail and I nod in unison and follow he
Fated love Chapter ten
ShawnAbbigail's soothing voice woke me from the darkness I had gone to while napping on her grandparents couch. My heart was pounding and my breaths were quick and shallow. My entire body was trembling beneath her straddling me with her hands caressing my face. I look around the room and notice that her family is watching with concern. She gently turns my head back towards her and I look in her blind eyes. Those eyes reflected love, safety and compassion. "I'm right here," she says in a soothing voice, letting her thumbs sweep my cheeks. "Breathe with me Shawn.""The baby, where's the baby," I choke in a sobbed whisper. "She's okay, it's you I'm worried about.""I can feel it again and it hurts," I choke as tears roll down my cheeks. "Feel what Shawn,"she asks softly, wiping my eyes. "The bullets, I can feel them piercing my skin and it never ends. It's like its on loop, getting shot over and over again," I sob in a whisper. She slips her hand up my shirt and traces over the scar
Fated love Chapter eleven
ShawnTwo months have passed. In those two months Beth has moved in, helping Abbigail with the pregnancy. Also in these past two months, Abbigail has formed a noticeable bump and no longer suffers from nausea or dizziness. Last week I had my cast removed and today I was able to return to work. I enter the kitchen, wearing my uniform with a bulletproof vest under my shirt. Beth was cooking breakfast and Abbigail was picking grapes from the fruit bowl. I give them both a kiss and Abbigail feels for my vest. She sighs in relief when she feels it. Tears fill her eyes and she asks in a choked whisper, "You wore it?""Of course I did, I promised you I would," I say in a soothing tone and give her a kiss on her forehead. "I'd do anything for either of you, you just need to ask.""Can you come home safe, especially when you're in this uniform," Abbigail asks in a choked whisper. "I promise to try my best," I say softly and give her a kiss. "Can you bring home a pregnancy test," Beth asks in
Fated love Chapter twelve
AbbigailI don't know about the others, but hearing Shawn say what she did to Shelby made me emotional. I found my way to Shawn after we agreed to take the dog and went in her arms. My stomach stopped me from getting the tight embrace I wanted, but I could still reach to breathe in that vanilla and lavender scent on her neck. I took in a calming breath and sigh as she rubs my back. She kisses the top of my head and I feel as Shelby nudges my side. I pet her head as I stay in Shawn's arms. I could feel the twins kicking repeatedly in the spots and I could feel them calming down as I breathe in her scent. I think Shawn felt it too because she says in a soothing tone, "Deep breaths Abbigail, slowly breathe in and out. They'll calm down when you calm down.""It's Beth," Beth says in a soothing tone as she rubs my arm in comfort. I turn into her arms and she rests her hands on either side of my forming belly. They kick her hands twice before they finally calm down. I let out a relieved s
Fated love Chapter thirteen
AbbigailThe doctor said she suffered from a pulmonary embolism. They're doing their best to treat it, but there's a chance that she won't make it. She said she was lucky I was with her when it happened or she would have died.Beth and I were sitting in a corner of the waiting room, comforting each other with Shelby guarding us. She had her service vest on so no one bothered to say she couldn't be in the hospital. We ended up telling my parents about Beth and Shawn's relationship and about their baby. Surprisingly they accepted our commitment. I play with her engagement ring. I took it off her hand before the ambulance arrived. I didn't want them to cut it off. Beth's still hand on my stomach told me she'd fallen asleep. She'd been rubbing my stomach since we got to the hospital, four hours ago, putting us after midnight. I could smell Joyce's perfume as she knelt in front of me."Please tell me you have good news," I choke in a whisper, slipping her ring in my index finger. "She's
Fated love Chapter fourteen
AbbigailBeth and I took turns making love to Shawn. It helped distract her from her PTSD and she was able to fall asleep after a nice relaxing bath. We were going to lay with her but Joyce said she was on her way with dinner for us. We waited for her in the living room. I let my head rest on Beth's shoulder and caress her stomach. I wanted her to know that I accept her baby and I hoped that by doing this she knew that. I hear her sigh in relief and knew that she realized that I accept her and her baby. She places her hand over mine and relaxes next to me. Moments later I hear as Joyce lets herself in. "You girls okay? Where's Shawn," she asks in a soothing tone. "Abbigail was just making me realize that she accepts my baby," Beth chokes in a relieved whisper. "I'm not my mother," I say in a soothing tone and rub at her stomach. "You've been like another sister to me, especially after I lost my sight. I know you bullied Shawn because you liked her, but you've been very protective o
Fated love Chapter fifteen
ShawnIt's been a month since we moved into our new home. It's been as long since I passed my detective's exam and joining the homicide squad. I told my captain before I took the exam that Abbigail I were getting married in August and that I was taking her to Ireland for our honeymoon. I was at my first scene, wearing a new suit and a bulletproof vest. It was a body dump on the edge of private property. The property owner has motion detectors around his property and said it was triggered early this morning. Thinking it was a bunch of kids messing around, he came to give them a warning when he found the body.I knew right away that the murder didn't take place here. The body had been wrapped in plastic with duct tape holding it in place. Blood pooled in the plastic so we had to be careful not to lose any of it for evidence. As soon as the face was revealed, I had to fight tears from falling. It was a young girl, couldn't be more then sixteen years old. Her face was riddled with bruise
Fated love Chapter sixteen
ShawnI woke the next morning to Abbigail stroking the scar on my shoulder from the night I almost died. Beth was trying to calm her down and wasn't able to. I sit up, wrapping my arms around her. I motion for Beth to come on my other side, noticing that she was upset about not being able to calm down Abbigail. I kiss both of their heads and rub their backs. I know no words will do justice to calm them down so I just hold them. I let them calm down at their own pace and occasionally kiss their heads. "I'll make my special breakfast," I say softly as I got them mostly calmed down. "Will you add extra chocolate chips," Abbigail asks in a choked whisper and Beth nods in agreement. "I can do that," I say in a soothing tone, give them a kiss and head to the kitchen. I gather what I need to make chocolate chip pancakes and mix up the batter. I feel as the girls take turns hugging me at my back. I turn to give them a kiss on their foreheads and continue with breakfast. There was a knock a

AbbigailI woke to Beth and Joyce's perfume. Melanie was still asleep, snuggled up at my back. Joyce kisses my forehead and gives my stomach a rub. I let out a relieved breath as their kicking calms down. "Sweetheart," Joyce asks with concern. "They've been kicking hard since we watched her shootout with Greg. I didn't get much sleep," I choke in a tired whisper. "Come here," Shawn says in a soothing whisper. Joyce helps me out of the hospital bed and Beth takes my place. I climb in on Shawn's left side and carefully lay on her chest. The moment her hand touches my stomach, the twins stop kicking and I let out a relaxed sigh. "Get some sleep," Shawn says in a soothing whisper as she rubs my stomach the best she could. "Don't overdo yourself," I choke in a sleepy whisper and hold her hand in place. "This is all I need." I wake to someone gently shaking my shoulder and look behind me at Jordan. She looked like she'd been crying all night. I look up and notice Shawn is sleeping. Jor
Fated love Chapter forty-four
Shawn's POV Melanie and I installed cameras around the house. The police department has direct access to the feed, should there ever be an intruder while we're working, a car will be dispatched immediately. I'm not taking any risks of Greg showing up and harming anyone while I'm not there to protect them. It's been a few weeks and thankfully he hasn't tried anything. I came down for breakfast before work and Melanie wasn't in the kitchen. I look at Beth and she shrugs. She was swaying with Michael in her arms while warming a bottle to feed him. I look at Abbigail, she was eating her breakfast and shakes her head. I head back upstairs and find her sitting on the floor of her and Beth's bathroom. She had tears in her eyes, looking up at the sink. I spot a pregnancy test and take a look. It was positive and I sit next to her on the floor. She comes in my arms and lets out uncontrolled sobs. I rub her back in comfort and she lets out a calming

Joyce looks up as I enter and tears fill her eyes when she didn't see Shawn with me."They're asleep," I say softly and she nods lightly.The tears in her eyes roll down her cheeks and says in a choked whisper, "I didn't know about my mother's condition until Shawn and Annie were born. I was ready to put Shawn up for adoption when my mother told me about it. It's also when she told me the truth about my other mother. She said that if I went through with the adoption she'd never speak to me again."I take her in my arms as she breaks into

Abbigail's POVI was napping on the couch when I woke to a kiss on my forehead. Shawn was knelt on the floor in front of me with her hand caressing my stomach. I give her a tired smile and she gives me a kiss. I notice Jordan behind her with Aubrey and her mother Alexis, both of them looked scared and covered in bruises."We were on our way to the cemetery when Aubrey called Jordan. Greg was using his belt to whip them and he was severely drunk," Shawn says quietly and I could see a hint of anger in her eyes. "I offered them the guest room with the double beds for a while."She helps me sit up and I walk up to Alexis and Aubrey. One look in Alexis' eyes and tears fill my eyes. "How far are you," I ask in a choked whisper."You're pregnant," Shawn asks in a protective tone and I knew she was definitely angry now.Alexis nods vigorously and breaks into uncontrolled sobs.

I quietly hum the lullaby I sing to Abbigail and he instantly goes back to sleep.Beth looks at me with surprise and kisses my forehead. "What time is it," I ask in a quiet whisper, rubbing my eyes."It's six o'clock in the morning. Abbigail is still sleeping and Michael slept all night. I thought he'd be up to feed by now," she whispers quietly and hands me a coffee. "I know who to ask to help him sleep if he gets fussy. He didn't really sleep much the other night.""Were you able to sleep last night," I ask quietly as I sip my coffee.She nods lightly, stroking Michael's patch of hair.

Shawn's POVAbbigail and I walk into Beth's hospital room the next day and she was in instant tears when she saw me. Melanie took the baby from her and I climb in next to her. I no longer felt pain when I moved, only if there was too much pressure on my side then I felt pain.I comfort her and Abbigail sat feeding Michael a bottle. "Am I hurting you," Beth asks in a choked whisper, afraid to lay against me.I wrap my arm around her and pull her closer to me.
