2024-10-29 19:42:56I came down for breakfast a few days later, dressed in uniform for work. Kelly was standing at the stove, making breakfast and I wrap around her back, caressing her stomach. She turns her head to give me a kiss and feeds me some bacon.
"Perfect," I say kissing her cheek. "Can I give you a ride to work?"
"I'd like that," she says with a smile.
I help her bring breakfast to the table and she gives me a look over in my uniform. I undo some buttons, exposing the bulletproof vest and she gives me relieved eyes. I kiss her forehead and we eat the breakfast she made.
"What made you wear a vest," she asks with tears in her eyes.
I caress her stomach and meet her eyes. "The three of you are my reason for wearing a bulletproof vest," I say softly and tears roll down her cheeks. I wipe her eyes and she lets out a calming breath. "Call me if you ever need me for anything."
She nods lightly and I give her a kiss. Her phone rings and she answe

I woke to Grace crying in the middle of the night. I didn't hear Monica and carefully slip from under Kelly. I enter the nursery and Grace was standing up in the crib. Her cries stop the moment I enter the room and reaches her hands up towards me. I pick her from the crib and she nuzzles her face in my neck, her hands clutching my tank top.I sit in the rocker and gently rock the chair. I rub Grace's back gently and feel her relax against my chest. Her breaths slowed as she slowly fell back to sleep, but as soon as I stood up she whimpers. I go back to rocking and again she falls asleep.I go to lay her back in the crib and she holds onto me tight, whimpering. I go back to rocking, feeling myself grow tired. I close my eyes as I continue rocking and Grace lets out a content sigh.I wake to a kiss on my forehead from Kelly. Monica was also in the room and Grace was still asleep on my chest in the rocker. I rub my eyes and Grace sits up,

Two weeks passed since the hidden truth of Jessica's affair came to light when Cassie's father broke into my house. Daisy has been sleeping in our room since. Even as a cop and an ex-marine I'm scared to sleep after hearing he's had a key to get in all this time without my knowledge. Kelly has been stroking the scar on my abdomen every night to help me sleep. I find it soothing even when I start going into an anxiety attack. Carrie had to bring me to her the other day in the middle of a shift. A suspect we were arresting knew about Kelly and threatened to kill her if he got out of jail.

It's been a couple weeks since Carrie moved into the guest room. It's been fun with her around. Both of them are now distracted by my body. I could be cooking at the stove and hear them gasp when I need to lean down to check in the oven. They even watch me do my workout in the morning.My mother was over for dinner a few nights ago and laughed at the two of them. They had their eyes on my every move like they were hypnotized. I wasn't even putting on a show for them. I was caught up in the cooking and my mother had to tell me about it.I was currently on the phone with the warden from the prison my father was in. "You're sure he's dead and all threats are gone," I ask in a choked whisper."Yes, he was caught up in a prison gang fight and another prisoner stabbed him with a shiv," the warden says softly. "All of those who followed him are in solidarity confinement."I break into relieved sobs and Carrie takes the phone. "Thank you warden, I'm s

By lunch time most of our wedding plans were set. I let Kelly pick the full menu for the reception and I picked most of the decorations. I asked to take a break when I looked down at Kelly asleep on my shoulder, hugged to my arm. I carry her up to our room and laid her in bed.I head back down and look over what we've already decided. I added a few things to the food menu I thought children would eat. I also finished picking out decorations and flowers. All that was left was the cake and I wasn't going to do that without Kelly."Jen did all this," Kelly asks in a choked whisper as I was falling asleep at the table."Yes sweetheart, she's been in here all day," Valerie says quietly."All that's left is the cake and seating arrangements," Kelly chokes quietly as she runs her hand in my hair. "I can't believe how beautiful the reception hall will look. I don't understand how Jessica could let their guests disrespect her like that.""

Kelly and I had backed off, letting her have her chance at a relationship with Monica.I visit Grace twice a day, during lunch and her bedtime. Her doctor has been allowing me when she wouldn't go to sleep the first night in the hospital. She pushed Monica away, asking for me. When she immediately went to sleep the moment I laid with her, Monica asked that I be here to help Grace go to sleep at night."How's Monica," I ask with concern as Carrie climbs in the passenger seat of our squad car."Grateful for your discovery. The treatment is working. The doctor called this morning and said Grace is likely to make full recovery," she chokes with a smile."Thank God," I choke with relief as tears roll dow

I take in a gasping breath, bright lights over me with multiple voices around me. Only one voice stuck out over the rest, Kelly's. She was calling my name and I turn my head in her direction. I reach my hand out to her and she takes it. Her breaths start calming down as we held eye contact, her face stained with tears. "I almost lost you Jennifer," she chokes in a shaky whisper. She places my hand on her stomach and I could feel the twins kicking wildly. "They need you Jennifer, they only calm down for you."The doctors and nurses around us kept quiet as she spoke with me. "Good call bringing her in Claire," one of the doctors say softly. "We almost lost her.""Is she dead," I ask in a raspy whisper."Katie," Kelly asks in a choked whisper and I nod. "Yes and so is Kevin's brother."I let out a relieved sigh and close my eyes. I let my thumb sweep at her stomach as the twins kicking calmed down. She lets out a relieved sigh and steps closer to

I was watching movies with Alexis while Kelly and Claire went out with the twins to Kelly's parents house. We were cuddled up on the couch watching the Lion King. We both must have fallen asleep because I woke to Devon covering us with a blanket. I look around sleepily and she motions to my right side. I look down and saw Alexis hugged to my arm, sleeping with her head on my shoulder. She had my hair and eyes but she looks like Devon. Erica, Kelly and Claire walk in, admiring how Alexis was cuddled with me. I look at Erica. After Carrie left I did a little more digging and found out several things, one of which I needed to talk to her about. It left me feeling guilty and partially at fault. "I need to speak with you, privately," I say quietly, but my tone was serious."Does it have to be right now," Devon asks curious, taking Erica's left hand that now held the ring Devon showed me yesterday."It's official police business, so yeah. It has to be now," I say quietly. I raise an eyeb

She said good night to Kelly and Claire and I kiss them both good night.I woke to someone shaking my shoulder and look up to see Erica. I look at her confused as why she was waking me.

I shrug, rubbing sleep from my eyes.Devon walks up to Erica and asks confused, "Where you going?""To talk with Jennifer over coffee. I'll be back in an hour," she says giving Devon a kiss. "Maybe two.""Don't forget me while you're gone," Devon jokes with her and Erica laughs.

****okay so I just recently updated a chapter and we left off that Devon gave her baby up for open adoption. Jessica wiped Jennifer's memory of Devon and ended with the devil. And since I literally can't get our favorite latina off my mind I've decided to do a back to back update. So those of you waiting for other books, blame Devon lmao. Anyway... This chapter is still in Devon's POV and picks up with her and Jennifer in present time before Devon had her flashbacks....****I woke to sobbing and I'm naked in bed with Jennifer. I haven't been with her since the weekend before spring fling and before we found out about Alexis. I look at Jennifer and she's facing away from me. I have been trying to keep my distance from her because she still doesn't remember who I am. I haven't been with anyone in the twelve years that passed since Jessica ran her over. I get my clothes on and gingerly roll her to her back. Her eyes meet mine and I'm reminded of our daughter. She's still under Erica's c

I'm able to return to school and Jennifer is picking me up for a ride to school. My mother doesn't want me driving yet and Jennifer offered without hesitation. So it's where I am now, the front passenger seat of her car. The ride is quiet, but comfortable.She keeps her focus on the road ahead and other drivers. We both reach for the radio at the same time and pull our hands away. "Sorry, it's your car. You choose the music," I murmur shyly and we glance at each other."You choose," she says with a smile and I smile in return.I turn on the radio and one of my favorite songs was playing, Perfect by Ed Sheeran. I glance at Jennifer and I see a small smile on her face. I let out a relieved breath and think about the f

She's not like other girls, but I don't care. I feel drawn to her and I get this butterfly eruption in my stomach when I catch her looking at me. We're both too shy to act on our feelings, but I'm working up the courage to ask her to spring fling.We bump into each other as she rounds the corner from the showers and our eyes meet. I feel as my heart skips a beat and breaths catch in my throat. My eyes travel down her body and her towel fell open, revealing the beautiful creature she is.

I was napping with Claire while her breathing and heart rate continues to slow down. I woke to stirring next to me and my eyes are immediately met with Claire's. Her hand caresses my scarred up face and tears fill both our eyes. "You're really awake," she asks with disbelief.I kiss her lips to answer her question and she whimpers relieved sobs as her tongue explores my mouth. The salty taste of her tears mingles with our kiss as she pours her emotions into the kiss. She breaks from the kiss, meeting my eyes and shutters a calming breath. "When I heard you on the phone," she chokes in a wavering whisper and shakes her head unable to finish her sentence. "Next time you get a call about a lead on a case, bring backup."We both laugh through our tears and I kiss her forehead. "I promise," I say in a soothing whisper and she lets out a relieved breath."I'm sorry," Kelly says in a wavering whisper and Claire looks at her in the doorway. "I shouldn't have forced you to see her knowing you

****I'm sorry in advance for what is about to happen in this chapter, but it needs to. There will be extreme gruesome context, mentions of torture. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK****I was back at work a few weeks later, following up on a lead to my case. An anonymous tip said the missing girl was last seen near an abandoned house outside of town. The kidnapper hasn't been seen around in two days so I took my chances and went there to look around. The moment I walk in the door I feel a hard hit to the back of my head, blacking out.I woke up with my head throbbing. I try to reach and rub the back of my head, but I couldn't move my hands. I look down and see I'm restrained to a chair by duct tape. I look at my waist and I'm thankful for wearing a belt. Why you may ask? I can use my belt to cut through the tape and escape. By the looks of it, I'm still at the abandoned house. Thankfully I told Caroline and Jamie where I was going.I decide to wait to see is holding me against my will before I tr

When I was still overseas, I was the only one in our unit able to calm her down. After hearing that she was repeatedly raped during her capture, she was bound to have PTSD attacks.I'd just gotten the girls back to sleep in the middle of the night when I heard screams come from the room Jamie was in. Sarah bursts from her room with a gun and I shake my head. She looks at me confused as Jamie screams for it to stop. She looks at me with understanding and I let myself in Jamie's room.She was tossing and turning, drenched in sweat. I take her in my arms and she beats on my chest. "Jamie, it's me," I shout over her screaming and she opens her eyes, scared.
