Chapter 21

Christian I have to admit watching Molly put Amy back in her place was fucking funny, she wiped the floor with her and didn't back down regardless of what she said. I also hate to admit that seeing Molly like that was fucking hot and a major turn-on. I've been nothing but an ass to her since she arrived here but still, she had my back; more importantly, she had my kid's back, and I can't forget that. Fuck she's even following Amy off the farm to make sure she leaves and already I know this is going to mess with my head even more. "That was fucking hot!" Jack suddenly blurts out while all my brothers quickly agree including Tom. "Molly has the biggest heart I know but she's also a tiger when she needs to be and she doesn't take kindly to anyone hurting her friends or someone she loves." "So let me get this straight... You have been nothing but a dick to her since she arrived and yet she still had your back just now?" Jack looks straight at me as he asks me the one question that I

Chapter 22

Christian It's almost 6 and I will say that between the four of us, we have got every single room sparkling, and I've even managed a quick shower and change of clothes. Jack and Tom are bathing the kids as we speak and Molly excused herself and went upstairs to give me privacy which I appreciated. A knock on the door brings me back to the present and even though I know that everything will be fine and that there's no reason as to why the kids can't stay here I'm still so fucking nervous and more than anything I realize that I'm terrified that they will take Katie away from me and there won't be a dam thing that I can do about it. I open the door with a smile on my face but inside my heart is pounding. "Good evening Mrs. Peterson." "Good evening Mr. Bowen, please call me Sally." She has a warm smile and I'm hoping that's a good sign. "Please come in, Sally." "Thank you, Mr. Bowen." She wipes her feet on the rug at the front door before closing the door behind her and instantl

Chapter 23

Christian I open the door to find Molly thrashing about on her bed. She's wrapped in the bed sheets but sweating like fuck. "Molly," I call out to her but she doesn't respond. I walk further into her room and towards her bed while she goes between mumbling and calling out. She's clearly having a nightmare as she's calling out to Archie begging him not to leave her and begging him to wake up. She sounds heartbroken and it gives me a feeling that I dont like. I may not like Molly but she's clearly having one awful dream and I can't just leave her like this. I wasn't raised to act like that, and I don't need to behave that way. No matter what I think or feel about her she's clearly in distress and I have to help her if I can. "Molly." I call out to her louder but still nothing, I keep moving towards the bed until I'm standing right in front of her then I lean down until I'm pretty close to her body, "Molly, wake up." Still, nothing so I gently place my hand on her arm and slowly shak

Chapter 24

Christian Crying brings me out of my sleep and I quickly drag my ass out of bed before Katie wakes up Sophie. "Good morning princess." The moment I pick her up and hold her close to my chest while placing a gentle kiss on her head she stops crying and as always it tugs at my heart. As I do so often I start to wonder who she thinks I am. I mean she's obviously comfortable with me but then she's also comfortable with my brothers and parents still, I can't help but wonder if she thinks more of me. I wonder if she thinks I'm her dad from hearing Sophie and Brody calling me dad. I know she's only 6 months old but still, babies are more intelligent than we give them credit for. She starts babbling bringing me out of my thoughts and I walk her over to the chair that I have by my window and lay her across my lap so that I can change her diaper. I really need to invest in a changing station. Once she's all clean again I check the time and slowly groan when I see that it's 4 am and a wide-aw

Chapter 25

Molly I wake up feeling tired and stressed, After that hell of a nightmare it took forever for me to get back to sleep and more dreams soon interrupted my sleep. Only these weren't dreams of the fire but dreams that involved Christian and today of all days is not the day for me to try and figure out what they could possibly mean. I stretch out only to quickly realize that I'm not in my bedroom or, should I say Tom's guest bedroom. Where am I? I sit up and soon realize that I'm on the couch in the living area but how the hell did I end up here? As I get up from the couch a swarm of voices quickly reach my ears including one of the cutest voices that I have ever heard which can only be little Miss Sophie. "Tom and I have the fields covered and Hunter will be here at 12 so Tom will come back in then and help you guys. Jack's voice is the first of the adults to reach me. "I've got the late shift tonight so I'm free all day for whatever is needed," That's Callum.

Chapter 26

Christian The moment Molly's out of the room everyone at the table turns their attention towards me. “I already know what you are all thinking so save it. Yes, I was a dick to her ok but I still know that I’m right!”“Christian, what is it you think you know?” Tom's voice is more calm than before but I know him well and I know that it won’t take much to piss him off again. “That she’s hiding something. That the fact that one minute she doesn’t remember coming down here last night but then the next minute she does seems strange. Also don’t think I haven’t thought about the fact that she just upped and left both her and Archie’s family’s after the funeral and hasn’t bothered to even go back there to visit them never mind living there. And there’s also the fact that she doesn’t have a job but never seems short on money which makes me believe that she’s spending yours and I won’t have her rinse you for everything you have. No way, you worked too dam hard for that!” The more I speak th

Chapter 27

Molly My heart is broken, completely and utterly shattered! How could he do that to me? I know that this could be all made up and just some random woman trying her luck but only a few people knew about Archie's life insurance and aside from that there was a picture amongst the papers, a photo of a little girl and she was the mirror image of my late husband. "Molly, sweetheart look at me." Tom's voice drags my mind back into the room. for a split second, I wondered if he knew about this but I saw how sincere he was when he answered me, and in all honestly, I know that Tom wouldn't do that to me, he wouldn't keep a secret like that from anyone or for anyone, not even his best friend. "I'm going to go for a walk." I take the papers from Tom and place them back in the thick brown envelope as I turn to head for the door only I end up bumping into a pissed-looking Christian. "Shit, sorry! I'm just going to take a small walk and then I will be back for my stuff. It's all packed up and if

Chapter 28

Molly I've been walking for a while without any success in recognizing my soundings when the heavens open up and rain pours down on me. I dont think I've ever seen rain this bad before. It's freezing cold and within seconds battering down on me and everything around me leaving my clothes completely soaked through. What the hell? I decide to start jogging hoping to figure out where I am a lot sooner than if I was walking, however, after some time I realize that it isn't going to work. The ground beneath my feet is starting to get muddy and slippery and if I keep running I will end up face down in the mud. The wind is picking up and I'm starting to think that maybe this rain is more than just that, maybe there's a storm coming that I hadn't heard about. As I keep walking carefully avoiding falling flat on my face as much as possible I pick up a nose amongst the rain and wind and I'm pretty sure it's a dog barking. I keep heading towards the sound and feel relief when I hear the ba

Chapter 29

Christian I’m at the front door in seconds while Tom already has my mom on the phone. "I’m going to head out to the fields and start pulling in the animals!" Hunter shouts while already running toward the horses. We have a shed that’s made to withhold Tornados that’s big enough for all of our animals. We’ve only had to use it once since we’ve lived here and all of the Animals survived so I’m praying it works this time too. “They are at the top of the lane. They headed back as soon as they heard the alarm.” Tom's words bring me some much-needed relief but I’m still on edge. “Oh thank fuck for that!” The squeeze that’s got a hold of my heart loosens slightly but still, it’s tight and I feel like I’m heading for a fucking heart attack. I feel like I'm holding my breath until the moment that I see my parent's old beat-up truck makes its way down the long road that leads to our front door. “Call Callum and Jack, tell them to get their asses back here now!” “Already on it.” I turn to

Chapter 30

Molly By the miracle of god, I’m still holding on and somehow I’ve even managed to get a hold of the wood with my other hand but still, I know I don’t have much longer in me. This rain and wind are like something you see in a movie but I ain’t acting, this is real and I’m pretty much screwed here. I try to look over my shoulder to see the old man but unless I want to break my neck I’m not getting a look at him anytime soon. I can still hear barking though which means the dog is ok, I just pray the old guy is too. “Help! Please god, help us!” I catch his words as he continues to scream out. Considering the noise from the wind and rain his voice is loud but I don’t hold any hope that anyone will hear us. Hell I doubt anyone is even out here with this storm. I want to say I wish I hadn’t come out here but if I didn’t there wouldn’t be anyone here to help the old guy. Although I’m not much freaking help right now am I! My fingers are starting to cramp and it’s getting insanely painfu
