Chapter 138: Shelby
But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever. – Haruki Murakami
Shelby sat in the office of the therapist that Neo contracted with for his guards. He had seen how it could fuck with a person’s mind when they had to shoot someone. Much less knowing that they had killed another human being.Although she had insisted that she was fine, because she could not stand to see the guys looking at her like she was going to break, she knew better.She felt like she was going to break.The only reason she had not given in yet is because Nate was watching her. And he was watching because Zack was watching.Not that Zack was in a better position. He had been there, and she saw the way that his PTSD had taken over for a brief moment. But then the training and muscle memory took control.As Shelby stood there watching the puddle of blood grow just outside the warehouse, that was now on fire thanks to the same asshole bleeding everywhere, Zack grabbed the first aiRelated chapters

In raising my children, I have lost my mind but found my soul. – Lisa T. ShepherdIn the last few weeks, Helen swore her belly had doubled in size every week.

But when they got back, her belly continued to grow.And grow.The stress of the fire and Jolene’s attack did not help any.A year ago, her life was completely different. She struggled to pay her bills. New clothes would have been a luxury. Another baby was not even a thought.And now, she lived with a man who too care of everything. Pampered her in ways that she still could not even imagine.

Mermaid Thighs Chapter 141: Prom
Cinderella never asked for a prince. She asked for a night off and a dress. – Kiera CassHer muscles burned and her lungs ached, but Dean refused to stop. She had let herself go while she was at home. Midnight swims did not have the same appeal without her mom or Cheryl. Laps were not as soothing as they had been.She was determined to get back into shape. Back down to her time. Her legs kicked and her arms swung out in strong strokes pulling her forward. Every other left stroke she breathed in and on the ones in between she breathed out. At the end of the lane, she flipped and kicked off the wall and began her final lap.The wall grew closer and closer, and she knew she would make it close to her time. With her hand hitting the wall, she came up for a long and deep breath. Planting her feet under her, Dean took off her goggles and swim cap to look at the large timer by the side of the pool.Fourteen seconds over.“Looking good, Coppell!” the coach called, a

Love is meant to be an adventure. – Gordon B. HinckleyReese walked into the bedroom carrying a tray with fruit, lean bacon and scrambled egg whites. Usually when he walked in, she would smile at him with her hands on her belly that didn’t seem to stop growing. This morning, she sat up against the headboard with tears streaming down her face. He placed the tray on the dresser and then sat on the bed and gathered her close. “It’s okay, Kitten.”She shook her head as more sobs racked her body. He continued to hold her and murmur soothing words until she finally calmed down.“Tell me what has you so upset.” He whispered.“Your babies are going to be bastards.” She sobbed out and began crying again.“Oh, my sweet Kitten.” He grinned into her hair as he placed tender kisses.He had to wait for the tears to settle down again. “I’m sorry. You probably think I’m crazy.”Reese chuckled. “No more than I did yesterday.” He teased. “But let’s be honest, we

If you want to be happy, be. – Leo TolstoyPrep work for the new additions began a few days after their latest argument over who was in charge. Reese grinned at the thought as he looked through a website of maternity clothes. It had become a running joke with them since Frank had told her that she was now in charge.Not that his old friend was all that wrong. Since she had said that she was pregnant, he was wrapped around her finger. And speaking of fingers, the ring that he picked out should be arriving later today. And they had an appointment with the judge next week.And that was the reason why the man was looking at maternity dresses. With a few mouse clicks, the dresses were sorted down to Helen’s size and to a few colors. He loved her in burgundy, reds and dark pinks. He loved her out of those colors also.She would prefer a soft pink or lavender.Again, her groom preferred her out of those colors also.Unless they were ropes. Then the colors reall
