For the first time in weeks, she didn't feel alone. The pain existed, and the fear continued to exist, but his presence filled the room with something she'd missed more than she cared to admit.

They remained like that, hand in hand, while the dangers and truths of the world outside the hospital room continued to evolve. Within the confines of the room, the gap between them narrowed, piece b

  • He Asked for an Open Marriage, I Walked Away   Chapter 108: What Remained

    Nathan sat in a cold, stiff plastic chair outside the emergency room, his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together so tightly they ached. He wasn't aware of the ache; he hadn't realized anything except the solid door to the emergency room in front of him, and the sound of his breathing – uneven, and shallow.A nurse passed by. Then another. Each time the door swung open, Nathan's head jerked upward.Still nothing.Nathan laid his hands across his face. Only hours before, he hadn't known he'd become a father. And now, the fact that he almost lost the potential fatherhood of their unborn child weighed in his chest, a burden he couldn't budge."Our baby

    Nathan's face hardened. "I remember him.""He disappeared after that mission failed," Jake said. "There was no proof of death, just nothing else."Nathan leaned in. "Do you think he did this?""I think he never quit trying," Jake said.Jake paused for a moment, then continued with care."You were taken to a field hospital to get treatment after you were injured," Jake said. "They took some of your blood, so you would have been unable to see anything unusual."Nathan swallowed. He remembered the pain. The haze. The people."And Kimberly," Nathan said s

    Jake stared at the same computer screen for nearly an hour.In a strange way, the office felt silent; the air conditioning hummed lightly; the city lights outside the windows flashed like faint messages. He rubbed his face with both hands and leaned forward to scroll back to the top of the file."Come on," he mumbled. "You don't just appear like that."The file belonged to Nathan. It was very old. It came from Nathan's deployment several years ago, one of the toughest tours. Jake had read it before, years ago, when it was first put into the archives. At that point, it looked perfectly normal. Now it didn't.He clicked on the lab portion and froze."That ID does

    He grabbed her and kissed her repeatedly. "You do," he said. "You make me feel like the luckiest bastard alive."He picked her up easily and brought her upstairs to the steps where he sat with her on top of him, still semi-erect and ready to go again."I love you," he said softly, moving her slowly against him. "I love you so fucking much.""I love you too," she replied softly, kissing him softly now. The urgency was gone, replaced by a deeper sense of tenderness.Upstairs, behind them, another glass broke on Kimberly's floor.But downstairs, in the pool, Nathan and Ashley couldn't hear anything.All they

    "Let them," he said, kissing her neck. "I want everyone in the world to know you are mine again."He pulled her swimsuit bottoms to the side and slid into her slowly. Ashley gasped and wrapped her arms around his shoulders."Quiet, baby," he said, moving gentle at first. "Just feel me."She rested her face in his neck and allowed him to take her in the pool. The water moved with them. Each stroke was soft, but deep; like he was telling both of them something."I love you," he said between kisses. "I love you so much it hurts.""I love you too," she whispered back. "Always."They sat like that until they bo

    He wished he could walk into the room. He wished he could shake them both awake and get them to look at him while he expressed all of his anger. Wished Ashley could see his face and remember the days when she screamed his name the exact same way.But he couldn't.He pulled his phone out of his jeans pocket, and his fingers began to tremble as he typed a single sentence he'd never send:You let him fuck you in view of everyone. You let him discuss me while he screwed you. You came for him while I waited right outside the door.He stared at the message until it became a blur. Then, he quickly erased every single word.He tucked the phone back into his pocket and

    Ashley turned and sprinted. Her soles slipped slightly on the cold tile as she ran, catching herself at the door frame. One moment, she was in the safety of the lab, and the next, she was running down the hallway. The cold air bit at h
