Halfway through the day, Mandy arrived, along with Jasmine."Char, look alive. You're mom's here.""Shit," she hissed, wishing to God this wasn't going to happen here, but she knew she'd avoided her long enough. There was only so long she could put off the meeting with her mom. It wasn't a reunion like it had been with Drew and Mandy. This was a meeting, plain and simple.They talked every week, and her mom had known she was coming home, but neither one of them made promises about how they would handle it once she was here."It's so good to see you," Jasmine said as she made her way into the office like she owned the place. She walked quickly over to where Charity sat and wrapped her up in a huge hug."It's good to see you too, Mom." She hugged her back, tightly. It was good to see her, but there was so much baggage that came with her and their relationship. "What are you doing here?"Never one able to tell when she wasn't wanted, Jasmine went about everything like she coul

"It's done." Charity breathed a huge sigh of relief as she printed off the paperwork that would be taken over to the courthouse. What was there would hopefully be enough to get her the emergency protective order as well as the witness protection she knew Maggie and Skylar needed. If she had done a good job, they would be getting what they wanted, what they needed. If she hadn't—they had a hell of a fight on their hands.Mandy held out her hand. "As your paralegal and assistant, let me do the honors of walking this over there.""Agreed." Drew handed the papers to his sister. "There's not a bull's-eye on your back the way there is on hers. Be safe and don't let your guard down.""I'll see if Dalton will come with me. I'm not too excited to be walking over there by myself." She grabbed her bag, the paperwork, and the identification she needed to file.Charity watched as she walked out the door. "I hope all this works out for us." She gripped the desk. "If not, we've poked a bear t

The next morning, Charity sat at the commons table in the clubhouse again. This time she had her laptop open, coffee cup in front of her. To her left, her mom was sitting next to her."Is there anything I can do to help you?" Jasmine asked, fiddling with her hands."No, mom, most of the stuff I'm working on is confidential anyway, but I appreciate it." She smiled at her to soften the blow."If you need anything, please let me know." Jasmine grabbed her own coffee cup and walked towards the back, where a covered deck and back porch were.Charity groaned. She wished her relationship with her mom were easier, but she couldn't snap her fingers and make the years they had struggled through go away. If they were going to recover anything, it would have to be done in its own time. Right now, though, her attention needed to be on another mother and daughter—Maggie and Skylar needed her more than anyone.She clicked into her email, hoping she had the information she needed. They had w

The club sat around the commons area table eating pizzas as they went over what all of them were doing the next day. Many of them would be hanging around, just to make sure things went off without a hitch—they also figured they would help with crowd control and general protection if needed. Drew and Dalton would be accompanying the girls into the courtroom, and Rooster would be ready with his old friends if he was needed there."Are you nervous about tomorrow?" Denise asked as she refilled a few drinks, walking around the table. The question was directed at both Mandy and Charity."I am," Charity spoke up. "What makes me nervous is that he's going to be in the court room. There's no place to hide there if he decides he wants to make an example out of anyone. None of us have ever really known his endgame—I mean, why did he start these invasions? To run people out of Warren County? Or was it just because he was bored? In the end, it doesn't matter, but I wonder. Like, what does he ha

"I want both of you to put these on under your shirts," Drew instructed as he walked into the commons area the next morning, carrying bulletproof vests."Do you think that's necessary?" Mandy asked, scrunching her nose up at her brother."I think none of us know what's going to happen today. I think both Maggie, Skylar, and all the law enforcement, as well as us will be wearing these, so yeah, that means I think you should too."Both of them had been instructed to wear tank tops under their clothes, and now they knew why. Disrobing in the commons area, Charity grabbed for the vest, her hands shaking."Here." Drew grabbed it from her, easily putting it over her head. "Let me help you."She nodded, barely holding back tears as he fastened the straps at her waist. There was something about him helping her do this—it felt like she was going into battle and leaving him behind. It scared her more than she cared to admit."You're gonna be fine," he assured her, putting her shirt b

"Given the information you've presented to the court today, Ms. Thomas, I am going to do my due diligence and grant you the emergency order of protection for Maggie and Skylar McCall against Dixon McCall. They will remain in protective custody until further notice, and Mr. McCall is not to have any contact with them." She glanced over at Dixon. "Do you understand?"His attorney nodded and answered for him. "He does, your Honor."Charity grinned over at Mandy, and the two of them blew out two deep breathes. This part was over; this was the hard part for them. The state would now have to bring charges against Dixon if they had found the evidence that would link him to the home invasions. Their job was done.Leaning over, she spoke quietly to Maggie and Skylar. "We're going to wait until they escort him from the court room, and then we'll have you taken by the deputies back to your safe house."Maggie smiled a real smile at Charity. "It's been a pleasure working with you, and I ca

Two Months Later"Char, you better get a move on it if you don't want to be late," Drew yelled from the kitchen. He'd done his duty, making her run behind schedule, but they'd had to do something to celebrate their one-month wedding anniversary. Shower sex it was."I can't believe I let you talk me into showering together," she grumbled good-naturedly as she reached into the fridge and pulled out a Starbucks cold coffee. It was better than nothing. "I have court today, but I should be home no later than four," she told him."Good, I have to work at the shop, but we need to be at the clubhouse around six. Remy's gettin' his Prospect patch."She absolutely could not believe it, but there was no denying that the kid deserved it. He'd worked hard. "I wouldn't miss it. Throw me a bagel, would ya?"He stopped what he was doing and gazed at her, catching her eyes with his. She let her gaze linger over him, stopping on the Charity tattoo that now had a bird flying away from the name.

VOLUME NINE: SHIELD MY HEARTMandy Walker held her breath as tightly as she held the cell phone in her hand. Hours ago she'd texted her boyfriend, Dalton, telling him she'd just found out she was pregnant with their child—four weeks along to be exact. What she had assumed was a lingering case of the stomach flu would instead result in a living, breathing human in thirty-six weeks if the doctor was to be believed. And today, Mandy believed it. She'd been sick since she lifted her head off her pillow that morning. With clarity, she remembered how her mom had been when pregnant with Tatum and offered up a small prayer that she wouldn't be as sick as that for the whole pregnancy. There had been a few ER visits and plenty days where Denise couldn't function except to be sick and then go back to sleep.In her other hand, she held the prescription the doctor had given her to ward off some of the nausea. She was going to take it when she got home, and the warning on it said she might get s
