There is terrifying horror that settles over me while I watch Raven being loaded into the back of an ambulance. Her body is completely limp and she has not moved at all. As I settled next to her, much to the annoyance of a frustrated EMT that reckons that I am only in the way, he does seem to try and convince me that she will be okay.
But fuck okay.
I have been here before.
I have sat in this very same spot and done the very same thing.
Like they say… Deja fucking Vu.
I cannot go through this again! I cannot lose another person that I dearly love.
The fact is, the bad memories are coming back and they are haunting like there is no shit tomorrow.
It was a cold rainy Christmas night; the King Family returned home after an eventful evening full of laughter and smiles at their dear family friends, the Johnsons. It was relatively late, and my father did not feel confident to take the long way home, so I offered to drive instead. Now
I am standing in a godforsaken waiting room. With each second that the clock ticks to a minute, there is a small piece of me that is slowly dying.The hardest thing in life is having patience. They say the longer something takes, the better the outcome. Well, I say it is bullshit.We have been waiting like what seems forever. Everyone is trying their level best to calm me down and assure me that everything is going to be okay. Well, I have had enough.“The next fucking person that tells me to calm down is getting punched.”Then Mason reluctantly steps forward. “Hunter, at least sit down then. That racing up and down is not doing your heart any good.”I only but snap at him as he steps two steps back out of the fear of getting punched. Yet, “What the fuck does walking up and down have to do with my heart?”Then next is Jax that comes with his best attempt, “Please come with me so we can get coffee.&rd
Raven is not acting herself.And next to her is a useless Doctor that is acting even weirder.Well, if one of them does not tell me what is going on, I might just lose all the restraint that I have left.Now Raven seems far more nervous than what she looks scared, so I am going to guess here that it is not as bad as I think it is. But this woman is known to put up a very convincing face, so you have no idea what she is thinking.So getting slightly mad, "Princess, what are you not telling me?"“Hunter, well, I…”Ya, then she burst out in tears, and I am left looking like the asshole. But yet, this Doctor is just standing there finding this all rather amusing, perhaps, “Do I need to remind you who has the fucking gun here.”I watch as he steps back into the far corner where I cannot reach. Well, the man is dumb, for I don’t need him close to me to blow his brains out.Then finally, after swal
I could have sworn I just fainted; a big ass man like me has dropped like a little bundle to the floor. Did I just hear right? Did I just hear that Raven is pregnant? I think if I open my eyes, I will soon find out. But I am scared. Am I ready to be a father? Am I even the father type kind of man? I am so not prepared for this; then again, I am a bodyguard, I need to be ready for the most unexpected things.I feel as Raven tugs at my shoulder, "Hunter, Hunter, are you okay?"Then the Doctor joins her, trying to get me out of my stupid spell of darkness. "Hunter, can you hear me?"As I slowly open my eyes and wait for it to adjust to the light, I see Raven staring worriedly at me. "Hunter don't give a woman a heart attack so early in the morning!"She starts shaking me furiously. I can hear the urgency in her voice as she calls out my name. "Hunter! Hunter!""Fuck, princess, I am awake; slow down on the shaking.""Don't you ever do that again
As I slowly open my eyes and stretch every party of my perfect physique, I find that Raven is not in bed, but I can hear the water of the shower running. As I shred my body from clothing, I give myself a once-off over in front of the tall mirror. With biceps that clench and flex, and abs that tighten with every move, I make my way over to the hot and steamy shower.And hot and steamy is my Raven in nothing but her tiny red lace panties on.Oh, god, I love this blissful torture.So not waiting for one moment, her hands work their way around my body, feeling each crevasse, each line, along with my perfect physique. She presses her soft lips against my skin. Then she pulls me into the shower. I will let her be in control only for a few minutes; after that, she will be mine to take.Then I spin her around and press her into the glass, rubbing her tight ass into me. Then I spin her back around again.I step forward, pressing her body against the glass,
Sometimes you the moments that you are the most frightened of are the moments that feel right. And as I lay here having doubts running through my head, I can only but realize how fucking stupid am I acting.This is my life.Raven is my life.And I know just what needs to be done."Princess, I am not a man of many words. So please excuse me if I get this wrong.""Hunter, what is wrong?""Please, please just listen to me, please just listen until I am done."I shift but a fraction even closer than what could even be possible and take her soft hands into mine. My trembling hand that right now wish that I could just fall into an abyss and disappear. But I can do this; I have played this moment in my head over and over now for days.So here it goes."Princess, until I saw you first, love, at first sight, was just an overrated phrase for me.When I saw you, I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.From th
Hunter and I are back to the way we were before and I cannot be happier. There is still a lot of things hanging in the air, like the Sloane Empire, but we will have that discussion when we are ready.What only matters now is the baby.I am six weeks pregnant.The morning sickness has started, and I am starting to feel the best parts of being an expecting mother. I have stopped counting how many times Hunter rubs my belly a day. He has, in the times that I really get sick, he has started reading to our baby. We decided that we do not want to know what the sex of the baby is, even though I still firmly believe it is a boy. We need something to look forward to, not only the pregnancy but the joy of a surprise.So it is with great difficulty that I am finding something to wear. Even though I do not keep much in these days, I have grown rather bigger than what Hunter likes to refer to as a bus. This rules out the option of trying to fit into one of my favorite
…Raven POV…We finally make our way back home after what was a very emotional experience. I am glad that we did it, for it has brought Hunter and me once closer again. It feels that nothing but only me and him exists.As we finally arrive at home, he takes me through the lounge and lays me down on the cushions of the soft couch; he moves in beside me until his body is right next to mine."So," he stretches his sentence as he does when he is thinking."What are you thinking about?""Hahaha. Who said I was thinking? Maybe I am asking?""What are you asking then, Hunter?""Can I kiss you?" He flutters his eyelashes as he asks."Why on earth are you asking?""I cannot go…"I place my fingers against his soft lips and wrap his face in my hands. I pull his face closer until there is nothing but a mere breath between our lips. Then I softly whisper. "I thought you would never ask."&hell
…Raven POV…Hunter is rushing me to the Doctor.I have had some bleeding and he is concerned, well, not only him, I am goddamn terrified.It is with great speed that Hunter is navigating his way through the city streets. In less than what seems like fifteen minutes we come to a screeching halt in the parking lot at the Hospital.So as we wander down the hallway to Doctor’s rooms, Hunter takes my hand and looks at me, “Everything is going to be okay.”As with always, once we arrive at the room, I put on the awful gown and lay down on the bed. The Doctor is running late; the damn anticipation is killing me. Each second that he takes too long, it feels as if my heart is slowly being cut from my chest. I, too, need to know that my baby is okay.After what seems like an endless half an hour, the Doctor finally steps into the room, "Hunter, Raven, I am so sorry about that. I had an emergency birth. Now let us take a
