As the two settled into the house as Henry took a nap. She was working in the kitchen, preparing the stuff for dinner as Max was working on some papers. He looked over to her and knew she was thinking about everything as she was doing the things somewhat mindlessly. He wanted her to talk to him but also knew he couldn’t push her. The argument they had in the morning showed him that she still thought he was trying to treat her like a toy. Though he didn’t think he had, he was trying to understand how everything was for her.
She had just found out everything in her life had been someone playing games with her. Even from her birth, she was wanted and expected to be something other than what she was. Max knew that in itself could be mind-breaking, and he didn’t want to push her any more than he had in

As they prepared to make another drive, and Henry seemed happy to be going into the car. Max looked at Deanna and knew the amour she was wearing thin. Though he was extremely impressed that she could focus at all on anything after being dealt the hand, she was just given. She was not reacting as he thought she would, but at the same time, he knew that it could hit anytime soon as well. The shock was like that.“Sweetheart are you sure you want to do this?” he asked as they pulled out of the driveway.“I see no other choice.” She replied as she looked at him as he kissed the back of her hand as he started driving.“I know you’re still mad at me.” He started, but

As they got near the house, they all heard the screaming coming from inside. It was two voices, and one of them was frantic. “That’s my sister in law, Cheryl,” Deanna said as they got to the yard. She was ready with the handle of the pistol in her hand. Somehow she wished that this whole thing would have gone away for a minute, and she could feel something, but she knew she was numb.“What the hell is going on? Who is that? Why do you have blood on your sneakers?” Cheryl was screaming at David, and Deanna could see them both pacing around something in the front room, but it was just their shadows.“Ma’am, I don’t think you should continue.” On

Deanna was on pins and needles as they waited for the okay to go to her parent’s house as Max seemingly changed everything about himself almost in front of her eyes. It was like he was a different person now. He was mentally preparing himself for what lies ahead of them. Deanna was tired as he looked at her, and she saw that his golden eyes were different. Harder than they normally were. They looked like eagles that see right through your soul. this was the version of him she didn’t know, The detective side of him. In a way, he even looked different to her.She knew she was probably going crazy thinking he looked different, but this wasn’t the same man she had spent the last week with. This was someone she didn’t really know. Th

“What?” he asked, surprised, and the car swerved slightly as he swallowed hard. Deanna hadn’t expected him to react that way even though she hadn’t meant to say it out loud though it had been in her head.“Nothing.” She said as she looked out the window. For the first time in the past week, she felt alone again. The numbness that she had felt earlier when going into her brother's house was now gone, and a stabbing pain rolled through her body. She could feel the tears building up behind her eyes. She wanted to finish this, and then she would go back to the house they shared and start packing hers and Henry’s things up. Though she had nowhere to really go, she would find a place.Soon money wouldn’t be a problem

Deanna took a step back with Henry in her arms now as Max moved forward quickly. He was now bent down, trying to get an answer as to what they saw. He turned to look at Deanna, who backed up some more as he called for back up from the front of the house. He knew he had to find out what they saw.As the police came running around the building, they saw the four officers that were now on the ground out of breath and covering their eyes like the sight was still before them. Max looked at the men on the ground and said loudly to them, so they focus on him, “Watch her and the baby. Do not let anything get to them.”They nodded and then looked at her and Henry, who was watching with his bri

He blinked as he looked at the floor. He couldn’t believe it. It had to be something else, but as he bent down, he knew it was real. Two blue eyes that looked exactly like Deanna’s and Henry’s were peering back at him. The newborn that still was messy from delivery was barely moving and looked to have a blueish tint to its skin. He scooped the baby up and could feel that it was cold to the touch, and he began to run up out of the room and then up the stairs as quickly as he could. “I need an EMT here now!” Max bellowed out as he got into the fresh air, and Deanna’s eyes went wide as she saw him carrying the bundle in his arms.“Not another one,” Deanna said softly as she ran over to Max. “Where is its mother?”

Max and Deanna waited with the girls who seemed like they were in good spirits, considering what happened to them. They were taken together and rushed to the hospital where another officer was waiting for them so he could do an intake for them and get their information and then their first statements.Max turned to Deanna and knew he had to tell her. The coroner was in the basement now getting the bodies. “Sweetheart, the girls knew who one of the others were.”“Who?” Deanna asked, knowing that Max wasn’t the one to beat around the bush.“Sweetheart, I don’t think you should look at the bodies.&rdqu

Deanna helped Max bring everything into the house from the car’s truck after he brought Henry in, and She had unlatched the baby’s car seat and started to bring it in. She looked down at the baby, and she smiled softly as she knew everything in her life had been turned upside down, and nothing was what it seemed. Though they knew that she could be stunted in ways right now, she was perfect.“What’s going on in that beautiful mind of yours?” Max said as she put the baby down in the middle of the floor, still in her car seat.“Max, we went from just us to now the four of us in a matter of days. My parents and sister are both dead, and David has been arrested, and
