Fated love Chapter twenty-nine
AbbigailI woke the next morning and was immediately hit with a wave of nausea. I took slow, deep breaths to help subside the nausea. Shawn sits up next to me, hands me a peppermint and rubs my stomach. I let out a relieved breath, lean against Shawn and our door opens. I smell Joyce's perfume moments later and reach for her. She gives me her hand and presses two fingers on the inside of my wrist. Moments later the nausea is gone and I let out a relieved sigh. "I don't know what you just did, but thank you," I say in a relieved whisper. "It's a pressure point to help relieve nausea," Joyce says softly and kisses my forehead. "Sorry to barge in, I just wanted to check on you after yesterday.""It's okay, I am thankful for your concern. I no longer have any nausea. No apologies necessary," I say with a light smile. "I also wanted to steal you away. It's your first Christmas in our family and we have a tradition that my mother started years ago, when I was your age," Joyce chokes quiet

AbbigailI woke to Shelby growling protectively. I sit up and feel Shawn move in front of me. "You need to knock when we have Shelby in here and Abbigail is napping," Shawn says in an annoyed tone, keeping my naked body covered from whomever was at the door."Sorry," Henry says embarrassed. "Your mother sent me to get you girls for dinner.""We'll be right down," Shawn says quietly and our door closes. "Sorry you had to get woken up this way.""I'm glad I had you to shield my body," I say with a smile and hug at her back. Tears fill my eyes remembering what happened before I fell asleep. "I'm sorry I left you like that. I was going to take a cold shower to cool off, but Melanie showed up. I'm not sure which I feel most sorry for, walking away from you the way I did or having sex with Melanie."I climb out of bed before she could say or do anything and head to our closet. I grab some fresh clothes and get dressed. Shawn takes me in her arms as I finish and says in a choked whisper, "I f

AbbigailBeth and I were being released from the hospital after getting into a car accident last night. Shawn broke her arm, protecting me from an airbag and swerved the car to avoid the full force of the impact. Both of our babies are fine and lucky to not have lost them.I haven't heard from my mother since she apologized and left my hospital room. I ask Shawn to call her for me and she did, even though she was still mad at her. I wanted to tell her my reasons for wanting the implants and hopefully she could understand. I was in the middle of taking a bath when there was a soft knock on the door. "Come in," I say quietly and moments later I could smell both my mother and Shawn's perfume. "Shawn, can you help me out? I feel a little dizzy.""I'll get Melanie, she'll be able to carry you to bed from the tub," she says softly and I nod. "If I hear her become stressed with you here, you'll be leaving.""I understand," my mother chokes quietly. "Shawn," I say quietly in a breathy whispe

ShawnCharlotte, Abbigail and I were sitting in her eye doctor's office. She was a nervous wreck and crushing my left hand. He just told her he could install the implants on her birthday, a few months from now. By then she should be in second trimester and the nausea from the pregnancy should be over.Her mother and I exchange concerned looks and I kneel in front of her. I kiss the hand that's crushing mine and look into her blind eyes. I could see a swarm of emotions showing in them and could only imagine how she must be feeling right now. I rise between her legs, place her arms around my neck and her legs wrap around my waist as I stand up. Her relieved sobs were muffled in my neck and I do my best to rub her back in comfort with my right arm in the cast. "Let's get her home," Charlotte says in a soothing tone and turns her attention to the doctor. "Thank you, we'll see you in a few months."Abbigail clings to me as she calms down, her breaths shuttering as she calms down from her s

We lost our twins mid pregnancy and a car accident a few days ago nearly killed me and cost Beth her baby. She's afraid she won't be able to have our own children and that I'm going to leave her. I also have a feeling that Beth asking Melanie to help calm the baby down is what upset her. Beth always goes to Shawn when the baby is wild and won't calm down.She's been quiet since we sat at our table in the diner. She didn't even order a meal for herself. I take her hand and stand from our table. "Will you guide me to the bathroom, please," I ask softly and feel as she stands a moment later.Moments later we enter the bathroom and I step in front of her, feeling her facial expression. Her cheeks and eyes were wet from recent tears and I go in her arms. "I know what else is bothering you," I say in a soothing whisper and rub her back in comfort.

"Thank you," she chokes in a whisper, holding onto me."I know what it's like," I choke quietly and she looks at me with disbelief. "I was born with the same condition you have.

I climb out of bed and feel my way toward Jordan's room across the hall.I enter her room, sit on the edge of her bed and gently shake her shoulder. "I'm sorry I woke you. I'll be okay," she chokes quietly and I feel her roll away from me.I climb in and cuddle up at her back. She lets out a calming breath and hugs my hand to her chest.

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."

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
