Fighting Flames With A FireFighter Chapter 15 - Telling his parents...
Chapter 15 – Telling his parents’.Axel KingPOVWe were silently driving to my parents’ house, I couldn’t believe this, twins. Two children. I’ve heard my brother complain about how out of control the twins were, when one cried the other would wake up as well. How were we going to cope with River and two other babies as well?My mom wouldn’t be able to help. The nanny I hired would for sure quit. She didn’t have to, but she helps my parents with the three babies. Damon and Jessica’s two and River. Damon pays her of course. She wouldn’t want to help with Oakley and the two in Beaton.I pause and look at her belly. That’s where my babies were resting, growing. In just six months they’d be born, and they’d be in my arms. I’ve been in such a panic I almost forgot about the magical moment I experienced crying staring at a damn blob. I didn’t even know what I was looking at, at first. But then when I realized that was my baby, my baby growing inside of Beaton, there was this feeling of pea

Chapter 16 – Planning and schemesAnastasia BeatonPOVWhen I got home last night from Axel’s parents’ house I went straight to bed, when I woke up this morning Axel has already left for work. He left a note asking me to drop River off at his parents’ place. He and River has gotten comfortable at my apartment. It’s only the second time they’ve slept over although Axel sleeps in my guest bedroom. I still feel a little nervous having him around, like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m going to say or do something, and he’ll go off on me like he used to. I’ve had this fear ever since I found out I was pregnant. I’ve been keeping my distance out of fear of doing something wrong.I quickly get ready for work; I wear simple skinny jeans and a long sleave shirt and a pair of boots. I wasn’t leaving the station, so I didn’t care what I was wearing.Once dressed I quickly got River ready to go to her grandparents’ place. If I have a daughter, I want her to look like River, well like A

Chapter 17 – You’re being watched...Axel KingPOVWhen the person on the other line hangs up, I frown. Gracie… I look at the name on the screen, I remember the name. I have no idea from where, but I remember the name. Have I met her before?I shake my head; I didn’t need to wreck my brain thinking about it. I could ask Beaton when she gets out of the shower.I shouldn’t be thinking about her in the shower. because my brain keeps thinking about Beckett’s wedding and how amazing her body looked with my hickeys on her. How amazing her curves loved. It’s been months and her body has been engraved into my brain. There was no getting rid of it.I started to feel a little uncomfortable. I adjust my pants before trying to focus on the game on the screen. I used to play soccer in high school, I wasn’t bad at it. I didn’t really want to play but Damon sat Beck and I down when we were younger and told us, since we weren’t sure what we wanted to study we should play a sport we took a fancy to so

Chapter 18 – Ring shoppingAxel KingPOVThe stake out was a bust, they didn’t try to attack Anastasia when she was alone in the house. They sat in front of the house for hours, just watching the apartment making sure she didn’t leave. That’s what I found weird. None of the other officers were being followed so why was she being followed? It didn’t make sense.I was so fucking upset I nearly run over to them, and fucking choked them to death. One of the things I didn’t get from mother dearest was patience. My mom had plenty of that raising three boys. She needed extra just for me. I would go on with her just for the fun of it. asking her why she didn’t give me patience when making me. she would get shy, and my dad would beat the ever-loving shit out of me. just kidding my pops wouldn’t hit me. not pops he would stare at you in a way that if felt like you would much rather get the beating.I was blessed being raised by Ava and Deacon King. Not just them but my brothers too. I rarely ev

Chapter 19 – Meeting Gracie Anastasia Beaton POV I walk into the café I spot Gracie almost immediately. I wave at her and walk over. She gets up and hugs me as soon as I stop at her. We sit after that. I don’t order anything to drink, I’ll need to pee soon. Though I did pee before we left the mall, I pee ten times more than I normally would. I’m telling you my new best friend is the toilet, I see it more than I see any humans. We sit and exchange what’s been happening in our lives while we weren’t speaking. I haven’t said anything about my pregnancy yet. It was big news, so I didn’t just want to blurt it out. “Is that the ring?” Gracie asks. I nod. She frowns. “It’s rather small, isn’t it? Couldn’t he afford something a little bigger?” she asks. I frown. “I chose this ring. I didn’t want something big. I wanted something I’ll feel comfortable wearing to work…” I told her. She nods in understanding. But now I’m worried about what people are going to think about the ring. I

Chapter 20 – Wedding dress shopping… Anastasia Beaton POV This morning I was woken up by all the women in the King family. I was asked to get ready. I didn’t know what to expect… Now you might be thinking why they would wake me at eight in the morning, I was having a good morning since my doctor’s appointment. Well not this morning… So, I’ve been throwing up all morning. I couldn’t keep down breakfast. I knew it was important when they refused to give up. So, I got ready. In sweats of course. I wasn’t going to try and get into a jean right now. But now I’m standing in front of a bridal boutique and my heart wants to make a U turn. I didn’t expect everything to happen so quickly. Axel had just gotten the ring two days ago. I didn’t realize how crazy the King family was until this very moment. When we got inside and looked around, I finally realized I would have to wear a dress. I wasn’t sure how comfortable I would be in a dress… Don’t they have a pants suit? Or a jumpsuit? I was

Chapter 21 – Gracie’s plan fails.Anastasia BeatonPOVIt all happened so fast. But in my mind, it happened in slow motion. Stepping in front Sadie and Oakley wasn’t something I needed to think about. I didn’t need to give it a second thought.I don’t know how but Axel was there when I was busy giving my statement. He rushed to me; he picked River out my arms. He looked at me up and down. “Are you okay?” he asks.I smile and nod. “Just another day at the office.” I joke.I have no idea how that woman even knew where we were. It still feels weird like it was planned. Like someone set this up. because the only people who knew we would be here is all here. and no one here would want to hurt Sadie or her innocent baby.I search the crowd. Ava is standing off on the side Deacon hugging her, it seems like she’s crying.Jessica is with Damon and their kids giving her statement.Sadie is clutching Oakley tightly beside me Beckett is holding the both of them in his arms.He looks over at me an

He looks at me but says nothing.He looks at the screen, before making his way over to me. He turns up his nose at the discarded toilet tissues scattered around me.He sits beside me. “What are you watching?” he asks.I look at him before looking at the screen… “It’s a Kdrama, it’s called Goblin. It’s really good. This is the first episode.” I told him.He looks at me then the amount of tissue paper around me. “The first episode and you’ve already cried this much?” he asks.I nod. “It’s so sad, he died after coming back from the war, and then her mother died, she lost her mother and then the grim reaper is after her.

Chapter 36 – I LOVE YOU.Anastasia KingPOVWhen I woke up, I knew I was in a hospital. When I tried to sit up, I couldn’t, what alarmed me was my flat stomach.“Beaton you’re away.” Axel says in surprise…I look up to see him rushing to me.“The babies?” I asked. Nearly chocked.He smiles. “They’re fine, they’ve been transferred to the hospital Damon works at. My mother and father went with to make sure they were fine.” he explains.I let out sigh of relief. Then I remember what got me into this mess in the first place. “Axel, It’s Gracie, you need to arrest her, she plans to kill Sadie, you need to protect Sadie.” I say hurriedly.His eyed darken. “Your best friend Gracie?” he asks in a low tone of voice.I nod. “I heard her over the phone asking if they were sure Sadie was dead.

I wanted nothing more than to strangle him, even if he didn’t know where Beaton was, he deserved everything coming.I open his file. “So, Gavin Granger…” I pause looking at him. “You know you’re going away for a very long time… You’ll die in here, there’s no way you’ll see the outside of a jail sell for the rest of your sick life.” I tell him calmly.I promised how the police chief I wouldn’t kill the guy or blow this case. We’ve been working on getting these guys for months. I wanted nothing more than to nail them, knowing they know where Anastasia is, is the only reason I haven’t tried to kill him yet.“You want to know something funny?” he asks with a smirk on his face.I humor him. “What?” I sit back crossing my arms.“You’re going to regret this… I’ll be out of here in an hour tops.” He crosses his arms mimicking me.My smile widens. “God you’re stupid…” I t

I haven’t even given the number to anyone yet.I was planning to call Gavin later with it. that was the only reason I had it with me.I answer, but I couldn’t hear a word the other person was saying on the other line. Frustrated I nearly strangle Francis.So, I walked out of the cabin, I make my way further away.“What did you say?” when I finally have signal, I ask.“Gavin and the rest have been arrested. I cleared all contact between the two of you. You need to lay low for a couple of days. Make sure the girl doesn’t have anything on her that can be traced. We can’t let them find you.

Chapter 33 – The arrest. Gracie Almada POV What’s taking them so long? Why aren’t they here yet? Anastasia’s brothers and Axel just left my apartment. Glad I wasn’t dumb enough to actually bring her here. Gavin’s bright idea to bring her here was wrong. I knew Axel would come to me. Honestly, I didn’t think he loved Anastasia that much. The panicked look on his face told me he loved her a lot. Which worried me. He wasn’t going to give up until he found her. I clench my fists in anger. If she wasn’t a damn busy body. Listening in on my phone call. She thinks I didn’t notice her behind me when she tried to back away? I don’t know how much she heard, but the way she rushed out of here, I knew she knew I wanted to kill Sadie. She couldn’t live. I was going to wait until she gave birth to kill her, but I couldn’t wait any longer. If she told anybody I would be as good as dead. If it wasn’t for my fast thinking and asking Gavin to get her before she got to her dad’s place she would h

She’s still a cop through and through. She can handle it herself. At the same time that’s what worries me most. I keep asking myself. Why did she ask to meet me? Everything that happened today worried me. Her phone was found on the side of the road. She’s just gone missing into thin air. There’s no trace of her. The team seems to think the rapist took her. It had to have been them, said Lucy. She said that they’d been following her for months. So, it had to have been them. I’m worried for Beaton, she’s at least six months pregnant. I know she could defend herself in normal circumstances but she’s pregnant. I’m worried she might get hurt protecting the b

Chapter 30 – Sadie is hurt.One week laterAxel KingPOVI’ve been feeling down lately, while not down, upset. Since seeing Beaton with that guy, these weird thoughts keep running through my mind. Like confronting her and asking her who the hell that guy is. Locking her in the house and never letting her leave. You know those kinds of thoughts.“Yo, Axel check this out.” Lucy calls from across the room. I look over and see her eyeing her computer screens.I walk over. “What’s up?” I asked her.“I found this guy. He dated five of the victims. He is pretty crafty; he deleted all the posts with him in it. I found him while checking their friends’ social media. How he deleted it from the victims’ pages is beyond me. They’ve got to have someone tech savvy amongst them…” Lucy goes on to talk but I’m eyeing the punk on the screen. He is with two of the victims.“Who is this punk?” I ask.“The names Hank Walters. He’s got no criminal history, the only link we have is that he knew five of the
