My partner and I were at the hospital, getting a statement from a rape victim. My partner did most of the talking, the girl seemed comfortable talking with her than she did with me. My partner was the one who handled the talking part of our partnership while I did more of the heavyweight part of it.I step out in the hall as Carrie finished talking with the victim. There was a doctor standing at the nurses station, opening a test results envelope while a hooded man approached her with an aggressive look on his face. I saw a gun inside his jacket and ran in front of the doctor as he pulled it out to shoot her.I fought him for the gun and it goes off. I wretch the gun from him and shoot him in his arm. Carrie rushes over to cuff him as I clutch my stomach. I turn to the doctor and ask in a protective tone, "Are you hurt?"I collapse, knocking papers from the counter to the floor. I notice the test results she was opening contained a pregnancy test for a Kelly Daw
Two weeks have passed since I was shot, meeting Kelly. I'm at full recovery and dressed up in my dress pants and button down shirt, tucked into my pants. I have to wear men's clothes because of my broad body build.I had a bouquet of flowers, walking in the hospital. I bump into Claire and her jaw drops at the sight of me. "She is going to drool when she sees you," she says with a smile, walking around me, checking me out."Where is she," I ask softly as she stops in front of me."Her office, three doors down on your left," she says pointing behind her.She walks with me and I knock on her door. "Not now please," she chokes, calling through the closed door.Moments later my phone rings and it was Kelly. I answer it and say in a soothing whisper, "Open your office door. I'm here."She stays on the line and opens the door with haste. I end the call, putting my phone in my pocket as she flies into my arms. Claire takes t
We were sitting in the living room after dinner. I had grabbed the extra clothes from my car I leave in there incase I drink with my mother and stay the night with her. I went up to the guest room to change out of my dress clothes and into what I planned to sleep in for the night. A men's tank top, and a pair of shorts.When I came back down, Kelly couldn't keep her eyes off me. I had an extra set for her to wear that would be loose around her waist for the baby. I hand her the clothes and she looks at me confused."I'd feel better knowing you were wearing clothes that stretched over your forming bump," I say softly. "I'll take you to my place tomorrow. Jess should have clothes you can start wearing now.""You really care about her baby, don't you," Valerie asks softly."Yes," I choke in a whisper and look at her with tears in my eyes.I leave the clothes with Kelly and walk out to sit on the back patio. Their golden retriever, Ma
Kelly and I were sitting in Joyce's office, waiting for the DNA results to come back. She was wearing some clothes from Jess' closet. She decided to keep everything Jess had and save her other clothes after the baby was born.The outfit she chose to wear was making me feel aroused. She was wearing a low neck cut shirt that showed her cleavage and fit loose around her stomach. The pants she paired with the shirt had a stretchy band for her growing stomach and fit tight everywhere else.I was wearing a pair of jeans that were a little snug over my groin, if you catch my drift. I was wearing a tank top tucked into my jeans and a sports bra. I had a light hoodie on, but had to bunch it in my lap to hide my erection.I was finding it hard to sit with the tight restrain on my erection and stood up with my hoodie tied around my waist, covering my front. Kelly looks at me confused and I show her my problem before Joyce walked in with the results.Her
My mother and I were sitting with Kelly and her parents at Jamie's funeral. I was sitting near the aisle when a little girl, about two, climbs in my lap. "Dada," she murmurs in a tired whisper and falls asleep in my arms.Tears fill my eyes and I look around to see if someone was looking for her. A woman across the aisle was looking at the girl in my arms with her hand over her mouth. I get up and bring the child over to her. She looks behind me and says in a choked whisper, "I'm Monica, Kelly's cousin. I didn't know she was in a relationship since Katie?""We can talk after the funeral," I say quietly and she nods. She tries to take her daughter, but she holds onto my uniform. "Why don't I just place her in her car seat after this is over?"She nods lightly and says in a choked whisper, "You kind of look like her father. He was killed in Iraq a few months ago.""Kevin Jones," I ask quietly and she nods vigorously. Tears fill my eyes and say, "I fought wi
I 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
After learning that Cassie wasn't my daughter and that Jess had an affair, I got rid of everything that was hers. I took Kelly to get a whole new wardrobe for the pregnancy and donated the clothes from Jess. I even gave Valerie the wine collection Jess had.I took Kelly to pick out a guard dog when Joyce approved she could have one at work as long as it wore a police vest. Kelly decided to just do clinic work so the dog could be therapeutic to her patients. She was a German shepherd named Daisy and picked Kelly out of all the other people looking to adopt a guard dog.I was just finishing up putting on my uniform for work when Kelly came out of the closet. She walks up to me and adjusts my badge. I give her a kiss and her eyes meet mine. "Does that mean I'm forgiven," she asks in a choked whisper."I wasn't mad at you, just hurt finding out that a child I was mourning for two years wasn't mine. I'm sorry if I made you feel otherwise," I say softly, wiping
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,
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
I got to spend time with Alexis while Devon and Erica had a night to themselves. I can't believe how much in common Alexis and I have. I know I missed out her entire life and I can never get the time lost back, but I can make up for it now. We camped out in a fort we made in the living room. We stayed up late getting to know each other and she bonded with the twins until Kelly and Claire took them to bed for the night. 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. She just motions for me to follow her and I do. I follow her passed the others and they all looked confused. 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
****this is still Devon's POV and flashback. We ended with her in the hospital from head trauma. Now we get into where Jessica "gets with" Jennifer and why Devon doesn't end up with Jennifer****Devon's POV continued...It's been a week since Bruce shoved me into a locker. 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
****okay so last chapter Devon got a little frisky with Jennifer. This chapter is all about her and how her feelings for Jennifer developed. This chapter gives a whole new outlook to Soulmates but that is all I'm saying. You have to read in order to find out... Hehehehe enjoy****Devon POV junior year of high school...Watching Jennifer change in the locker room when no one else is around is exciting. I've been crushing on her since middle school. 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 close up her towel, tucking it tightly so it doesn't
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
****given that Kelly has had two chances of her own POV, here's Claire's after what happened to Jennifer in the previous chapter****ClaireBryce was surprised to see I was calm and that the triplets were all at their normal heart rate with the added stress of what happened to Jennifer. Yes, I'll admit I was terrified when I heard her over the speaker, but I had Caroline and Kelly keeping me calm. I had to, my babies depend on me keeping calm. Kelly was with Jennifer now and my mother walks in, asking for privacy with me.Caroline kisses my forehead and and I'm left alone with my mother. She climbs in the bed with me and I cuddle into her. She rubs my stomach, but they refuse to kick. They haven't kicked since I heard what was happening with Jennifer. I knew only her touch would get them moving, but for now Kelly requested that I be monitored until tomorrow morning.Sobs erupt from my lips and my mother does her best to calm me. It's no use, I needed Jennifer. Devon walks in with sym
****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
We were able to bring the twins home and Jamie took one of the spare rooms. Being the only one who knew what happened to her over there, I wanted her close to me. 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. "It's okay now, you're home.""Jennifer," she asks in a scared whisper as if she thought she were dreaming."I'm here," I say in a soothing whisper and she lets out a calming
