All Chapters of Safe Haven and the Second Chance Mates: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Am I ready to have another baby? I never thought I would have the chance again. I bite my lip and lean back pulling the seatbelt across my chest. I nodded my head once; I had Jasper and everyone this time. There is no doubt he will stand by me. I think back to the argument from three days ago: it's null and void now. We were going to have a baby. I was going to have to get over my fear and believe that he was going to stay. Asher had just gotten back this morning from his trip to Washington. He had Unhauled his stuff here himself and was moving into Jasper's apartment. Maybe I can ask Jasper to move in with me. I bit my lip as I started my car. It could be the best option. I turned up the radio and blasted Bad Wolves Zombie as I made my way to the shelter. I hoped the argument from the other day wouldn’t bite me in the ass today. Now that I know I’m pregnant, I want the baby. I want Jasper. I want forever. I want it all. I feel greedy for wanting the happily ever after. Bu

Why the fuck did I allow my sister to answer my phone? I knew I would be hearing from Aria soon. Jana and her family had surprised me after Aria texted me. I had run to the bathroom when Jana yelled out that Aria was calling me. Now she wasn’t answering her phone. She was pissed. I knew what she was thinking but she couldn’t be more wrong. I would never cheat on her. I slammed my hand against the door after she hung up on me after I got Eli to take the tablet to her. She refused to even look at my face on the screen, but I could see the pain in her eyes. I call Asher’s number, “Get Lori here now. Aria is running again.”“What the fuck do you mean she’s running?” he asks as he walks into my office.I hung up my phone, and glared at him, “She called earlier, Jana answered, and she pulled a runner before I could explain, get Lori in here before I go ballistic. I’m not going to let her sit around wherever she is with our son, thinking that I cheated on her. I know how her mind works. I

“Lori?” she looks over at me confused. I grab the ball bat from under the counter as someone starts pounding on the door in front of me. Lori grabs her phone pulling up the security feed from outside. “Are you fucking kidding me.” She says the camera shows Jasper, Asher and Linc all at the front door. Jasper is the one pounding on the door. She goes over to the door and flings it open, “You couldn’t give me one damn day to talk to her.” she starts. Jasper pushes past her and before she can yell at him Asher picks her up and carries her outside on the porch. Linc lifts an eyebrow at me. “Braylin’s with Eli.” I say pointing toward his bedroom. Linc nods and strides down the hallway. “The fuck?” I heard her exclaim before the door shut, I could hear Eli giggling as they talked. Jasper walks directly up to me and grabs my hot chocolate and sits it on the counter. He put his hand on the back of my neck and kissed me deeply. Before growling out in between kisses, “Don’t ever

I lift her up against the cabinets forcing her to sit on the edge of the countertop. “You deserve more than me” I say harshly, “But I’m not going to let you go to figure that out. You had five years to find someone better than me, you are stuck now.” I bite her lip and suck it gently into my mouth causing her to moan and arch into me. I grin before deepening the kiss. She pushes me back and I frown. She shakes her head, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the hallway. She peeks into one room, and I see Eli laying in bed asleep. I grin as she closes the door before making her way to the room next to his. She opens the door and I smile. The king size bed takes up the majority of the room. The bedding is a soft purple as is the gauzy curtains. I can see a walk-in closet from where I’m standing and the open door to an attached bathroom. The room was decorated with canvas prints of Aria and Eli when he was a baby. I looked them over and had to wipe a te

Aria POV Asher glanced over at me, and I nodded, “Honestly? I was abused growing up. And so was my sister. We didn’t know that our abuser had complete control over both of us. Neither of us felt we could ask for help. I prayed every day someone would help. Until I became big enough to take him myself. I didn’t know that he was hurting my sibling until he had almost killed her. Before I could help her, she disappeared for years. When the abuse came to light, I started wishing I could create something like this. I wished I had proof of the years of abuse we went through so we could nail our abuser to the wall. I went to my two best friends with the idea and we together with a bunch of way smarter than we'll ever be people sat down and found the best way to create a product like this that while pretty is sophisticated and can save lives.” He pushed his hand through his hair, “We have sold over a million of these and it still doesn’t feel like enough.
