All Chapters of Broken: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Jessie After hearing Skye's confession last night Elliott and I let her sleep with us. Elliott was behind me and Skye laid facing me. She has her face between my neck and upper chest with her hand on my stomach. I rubbed her back to lull her to sleep.When I woke the next morning, she was tracing on my stomach, her way of talking to the twins. I lay there letting her continue to talk to them as they lightly kick the area she was tracing. I felt a lack of presence from Elliott and the smell of breakfast told me it was probably her.Sarah walks in, probably to check on us and smiles at what Skye was doing. "What is she doing," she asks curious. "Talking to them," I choke quietly as tears roll down my cheeks. "She's telling them how much she misses her mother, how she considers me mother now, how happy she is to be with us, how excited she is to meet them and can't wait for them to get here."I start sobbing softly and she looks up from my

Elliott A week has passed since I woke from my coma and today we were trying a third attempt at removing the breathing tube. Jessie left the room and I don't blame her. Carol turns off the ventilator and detaches the hose.A couple minutes passed and I was still breathing on my own. She removes the tube from my mouth and helps me drink water. "I'll go get her, just rest your throat for now," she says with a smile and goes to get Jessie. Moments later she walks in and relief fills her eyes. "Hi," I croak in a hoarse voice. She breaks into relieved sobs and comes give me a chaste kiss. "There's one more hose I want removed if possible," I sign to save my voice. "The catheter," she asks and I nod. "I have to ask Carol first."I groan and she giggles at me. "It's uncomfortable and I want to get out of bed," I sign with hopeful eyes. "Resting your throat I see, " Carol says as she reenters the room."Ye

Elliott I just got in front of Jessie in time as three shots were fired. After she left to get ready, I got this gut feeling something was going to happen. I tell Sarah and she said she'd wear a gun hidden in her suit while we both wear bulletproof vests. A forth shot goes off as Sarah takes out the shooter and I collapse in front of Jessie. I hear her screaming in fear as she kneels behind me, rolling me on my back. I hear her relieved breath when she realizes there's no blood. "Elliott," she chokes quietly tapping my cheeks. I take in a gasping breath and groan in pain. "I'm okay," I say out of breath and take her hand from my face. "Are you okay?""My heart is racing and the twins are kicking like crazy, I'll be okay," she chokes in a breathy whisper as I push myself to sit up. Tears roll down her cheeks and asks, "How did you know to wear a vest?""I had a gut feeling after you left this morning," I grunt as I pick each bullet

Jessie  It's my day off and Mollie stayed home not feeling well. It's been six weeks since the wedding and I had her take a pregnancy test. We were waiting for the results, laying in bed. I was resting against the headboard with her head in my lap. I was playing with her hair, waiting for the timer to go off.  I haven't known her long, but I've never seen her sick. Elliott had already left early for her detective's exam. She finally got the cast off last week and it was her first day back to work. The timer goes off and I pick up the test on the nightstand. A smile forms as a plus sign stares up at me.  I hold it for Mollie to see and she breaks into uncontrolled sobs. I rub her arm in comfort. She fought with a suspect last week, taking a blow to the stomach. She came home hysterical thinking her chance of getting pregnant was gone. "Can we take a ride to get it confirmed," she asks in broken sobs.  "Of course baby," I say

ElliottIt's been a week since Jessie told me about the baby she lost before Reese. I haven't been letting her do anything while at home, Mollie either. They made a fuss the first couple of days until I gave them my reason why. After hearing about both babies Jessie lost, I don't want her to overwhelm herself with the twins. Being active at the hospital is one thing, it's her job. With everything going on with Ryan, I don't want Mollie stressing out during the first trimester of her pregnancy.Jackson called this morning and said that Ryan was found and taken into custody and charged with an account for attempted assault on a pregnant woman and for plotting a murder against a police officer. We were all relieved to hear that we no longer have to worry about him, but I'm not letting my guard down for nothing.As for Skye, we had an appointment with her doctor yesterday and she was eligible for the hearing implants. The doctor is supposed to call when they have what's needed for the pro
