BethI was waiting alone while Abbigail had the implant surgery. Flashes of that dreadful night cloud my mind and I couldn't shake them. (Flashback)I was getting a drink for me and Abbigail when I heard my mother scream my name in fear. I turn in time to stare wide-eyed at the firework heading right where I was standing. I was frozen in fear to move and feel someone tackle me out of the way. I hit my head on the ground, stunned for a few minutes.A light shining in my eyes made me turn my head away, squinting. "Minor concussion from the tackle, some rest should be fine," a doctor says as I realize I'm in a hospital bed."Where am I? What happened to me," I ask in a frantic tone."Sweetheart, you're in the hospital," my mother chokes with relief. "Abby tacked you out of the way of a stray firework. She saved your life Beth.""Is she okay? Can I see her," I ask in broken sobs."She's in the bed next to you," Aunt Charlotte chokes quietly."Aunt Charlotte, I'm so sorry," I choke betwee

AbbigailBeth has been distant since Melanie told us Shawn was shot on the return to base. I can't say I blame her, I would be distant too if it were Melanie. Since we arrived back in America she's been sleeping in Shawn's room. On my way to say goodnight to her before joining Melanie in the guest house, I'd pause outside the door and listen to her beg God to give Shawn back.I let myself in and climb in the bed to face her. Her eyes were wet, a deep sadness in them I wish I could wipe away. She was clutching onto Shawn's hoodie, a wet spot visible from where her face had been buried into it while crying. Melanie slips in the bed behind her and she shutters a calming breath. I wipe her eyes and watch as they close with her letting out a sleepy sigh.I kiss my cousin's forehead and hold hands with her as she falls asleep, like we always do when one of us is hurting. I look behind her at Melanie and could see she felt something for Beth. I don't say anything about it because I'd be a hy

****before I start this next chapter I just wanted to send out a thank you to one of my readers. The last few days since I updated The Dhampir I was struggling a severe anxiety attack. I felt like I was drowning, but I was able to get through it. I wouldn't have gotten through it without the comforting comments. I just want you all to know that words carry meaning, rather they be good or bad they still leave an impact. So without further ado here is the next chapter. Enjoy****AbbigailI just found out I'm having triplets. I'M HAVING TRIPLETS! Oh my God. Why didn't they notice it in Afghanistan? I'm freaking out, but immediately calm down for the babies. I was in the bathroom, needing a moment alone to gather myself before joining the others. I asked to keep the triplets secret until things with Shawn calmed down.I smile lightly in the mirror as tears fill my eyes. I caress my stomach, letting out a calming breath. The door opens behind me as Beth walks in. She looks at me through th

ShawnI just woke up from another coma after having spinal surgery. My wife is two months away from giving birth to our daughter and I basically spent her pregnancy in a fucking coma. The doctor is here now doing an exam on my neurological system to see if I'm paralyzed or not. So far I have full use from the waist up and now we're about to check from the waist down. I look teary eyes to Beth who has been standing at my side holding my hand. She gives me a reassuring smile and kisses the back of my hand. "I love you, you, Shawn. Not your ability to walk, nothing will change that, okay," she says in a soothing whisper and I nod vigorously."I'm ready," I say quietly, letting out a calming breath.My feet are exposed and the doctor uses a tool to tickle the bottom of my feet. I let out laughing sobs as I jerk my feet away from her. I cover my face with my hands the realization of how much worse this could have been. I could have died and Beth would have been raising our daughter alone.

Beth I woke up and my throat hurt. I look around and notice Shawn is sleeping on the edge of my bed. I try to feel my neck, but my fingers graze something and I start freaking out. Shawn shoots up from her sleep and caresses my face. "Calm down, you're safe. It's a neck brace to protect your throat. Try not to speak," she says in a soothing tone and I relax against the pillows. She helps me drink water and I say in a croaking voice, "Thank you." The doctor walks in with my mother and she runs to me when she sees I'm awake. "Oh sweetheart, you've been here over a week. Shawn has been collecting your homework and stays the night. Its Saturday," she chokes quietly with relief. I look at Shawn and she blushes, looking away from me. "You never miss a day of school.
