2024-10-29 19:42:56After working with a rookie for the last four weeks, I was glad to have Carrie back as my partner. She's been recovering from donating bone marrow to save Grace's life. She's also been staying with Monica while Grace has been in the hospital. 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 kept in contact with Caroline this week and she was going to join us at our wedding. Kennedy was even going to be at our wedding and she was bringing Jamie. Kelly spent the night at her parents house to get ready for our wedding. Caroline stayed the night with me and our mother.I was in the middle of doing breakfast when they entered the kitchen. My mother noticed something was wrong and checks the cabinet where I keep my medication. I was so focused with seeing Kelly that I'd forgotten about my medication.My mother brings me over my medication and some water. "Today's not a good day to forget your medicine," she says softly as I take it with shaky hands."I couldn't sleep last night," I say quietly. "Kelly usually strokes the scar that brought us together and it soothes me to sleep. Last night all I saw closing my eyes was the warzone I left years ago.""The house looks cleaner than yesterday," Caroline says quietly looking around the house.&nb

I was talking with Kelly's parents at the reception dinner when I noticed Kelly was fast asleep on a lounge chair with Grace. I remove my suit jacket as I walk over to them and cover them with it. Kelly lets out a content sigh from the warmth of my jacket and pulls it closer around her and Grace.Kennedy was sitting nearby having trouble putting Jamie to sleep. I walk over and offer to help put her to sleep. She gives me relieved eyes and lets me take her screaming daughter. I lay her head on my chest and start swaying gently as she grasped at my vest.Moments later her screaming calmed to grunts as she fell asleep. Everyone that was close to Kennedy's table was amazed at how quickly I was able to get her daughter to sleep. I go to lay her in the carseat and she gripped tight at my vest. I carefully undo the buttons and slip out of it without waking her. I carefully clip her in with my vest covering her like a blanket and she grunts a content sigh.I

I woke to my mother and sister kissing my forehead. I notice tears in their eyes and realize they were looking at Kelly next to me. She was hugged to my right arm with our hands laced between us.Tears fill my eyes and choke in a whisper, "I wanted her to have a wedding better than the one I had with Jessica and I ruined it by ending up in here.""You can still give her that sweetheart," my mother chokes in a soothing whisper and I look at her as tears roll down my cheeks. "You still have that beautiful beach wedding you planned for next year. You planned this small gathering because she didn't want to wait after what happened with Katie.""There isn't going to be a wedding next year if I'm not there to participate," I choke quietly and she looks at me with hurt eyes. "I almost died twice in the last six weeks. Whose to say that something doesn't happen in the next year. I don't even know if I'll see my twins born if I continue with the job I have.""You

I woke the next morning to Kelly looking down at me, propped up on her elbow. She gives a light smile and kisses my forehead. "Good morning," she says quietly, brushing hair off my forehead."Everything okay," I ask in a murmured whisper.She nods lightly and says softly with a smile, "Just admiring how cute my wife looks sleeping.""Sorry I ruined your moment," I say quietly and she gives me a kiss."It's okay," she says quietly as Claire walks in with my medication and her prenatal vitamin. "Thank you Claire.""You're welcome," she says with a smile. She looks at me and asks shyly, "Are you up for me helping Kelly give you a sponge bath today?"I raise eyebrows at Kelly and she lets out a light laugh. "Claire's already seen everything. She's been one of your nurses since we met," she chokes quietly at the end. "You've just been unconscious when she's helped change you into a hospital gown.""Honestly if Kelly didn'

A few weeks passed since I needed surgery to remove the bullet fragment from my chest on our wedding night. Kelly and I were at the hospital checking on the internal repair of my artery. My chest was fully healed within the last week and Devon was impressed. She was checking my artery with an ultrasound machine and scoffs in surprise. "I never had a patient heal this fast before," she says amazed, gently wiping away the gel from my chest."My mother always joked I had mutant DNA when I was a kid," I say with a smile as I fasten the buttons of my shirt."I still want you to take it easy a couple more weeks, but I don't think it'll hurt if you want to have a romantic evening with Kelly," she says with a sympathetic smile.Tears of relief fill my eyes and couldn't stop myself from hugging the other woman. "Thank you. You made it possible for me to even still be here," I choke with relief."Kelly needs you," she says softly as I pull away to look
Soulmates Chapter twenty
Kelly was nearing the end if her pregnancy with just two days to go. She's been moody and Claire and I do the best we can to keep her calm. It's been mostly Claire who gets her to calm down while I'm working. I'd calm her down the rest of the way when I get home. Though today was different, when I came home it was quiet. I went looking for her and Claire and found them napping in our bed. Kelly had her head on Claire's chest and Claire had her hand resting on Kelly's stomach. I smile at the view and leave them to sleep. It was rounding dinner time so I decided to surprise them with dinner. I decided to make something that Kelly has been asking me to make, my chicken parmesan that I made our first night she moved in. Lately I've been pulling a few extra hours to have extra money saved for when the twins get here. It's usually Claire that's been cooking and cleaning. Joyce sent kelly on maternity leave a couple of weeks ago when Kelly went into a false labor whil

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.
Soulmates Chapter thirty-three
****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

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
