Rip

After thanking Caroline and Jon, they, along with Jenny, left the house. I immediately scooped my beautiful wife up, removing her heels on the way up the stairs. As soon as we got into our room, we checked both babies before I carried her over to the bed, where I carefully removed her dress before gently tugging her nightgown over her head. When I lay her on the bed, she reached up to pull me down on top of her, wrapping her arms around my neck. I caught myself on my hands so I didn’t put m

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Losing Everything To Find Forever Teaser

    I rushed to get in the car before Rip could change his mind. I wasn’t scared of him, per se, but I had been around him and Becky enough to know that he was serious about everything he would do to protect her. The year I lived with them while my parents were going through their divorce was very enlightening. I was never going to do anything to make him come for me. That year I spent with Rip and Naomi, who thankfully I knew better than to ever develop a crush on, I had learned a lot about being a good partner. I was young, but not stupid. Rip showed me all the things that my father never bothered to. Rip taught me that real men opened doors, pulled out chairs, and held their woman’s hand in public. He taught me the value of anticipating your partner’s needs, moods, and wants. He taught me the importance of knowing your partner inside and out, and actually listening to them. I had seen Rip fix Naomi’s meltdowns with a king-size KitKat bar and a kiss on the forehead. He was the type of m

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Choosing Himself

    RipI smiled at Becky as she bounced down to the main hallway, smiling widely at Simon, who eyed her closely. We were all worried that Becky would freak out. When Simon agreed to come grocery shopping with me, Naomi and I both looked at Becky. She had been panicked, but had given Simon a watery smile. Her next words had my chest constrict painfully.“Promise that you’ll come back,” she had whispered.“Of course, Becky.”She had nodded and continued to eat her breakfast, surprising all of us. Now we were getting to walk out of the house. This was the moment that would determine if Simon actually went or not. I watched as Becky hugged Simon, who held her tightly for a moment before letting her back away. She tilted her head back to look into my eyes.“Keep him safe like you keep all of us safe?” she requested softly.I knelt in front of her, so I was on her level, looking into her eyes as I cupped her face. “Listen to me, Becky, I promise that he’s going to be coming home. He’s not goin

    Naomi-Two weeks laterI moved through the house almost as silently, taking a moment for myself after getting Penny back to sleep. She hadn’t been crying, but I couldn’t sleep with her minor fussing. I stopped at Becky and Jess’s room, peeking in, and was completely shocked when I didn’t see Simon sleeping on the cot like he had the last few months. I instantly became worried. If Becky woke up and he wasn’t there, she was going to freak out.After gathering the dogs, I took them downstairs to go to the bathroom. As I passed Simon’s room, I almost stopped outside his door, but I didn’t want to wake him up. As I was nearing the back door, Simon’s door opened behind me, making me turn around to face him as he softly called out, “Becky?”“No, it’s Naomi.”“Oh. Okay. I’m sorry. I just thought…”“That Becky was coming down to find you?”“Yeah,” he replied, bringing his hand up to massage the back of his neck.I tilted my head toward the back door. “Do you want to come outside with me so we c

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   The Aftermath

    Naomi-3 months laterI was sitting in the courtroom next to Rip, holding his hand tightly while we anxiously waited for the jury to come back in. We had been called back to the courtroom thirty minutes after the jury had been dismissed to deliberate. Simon was seated beside Raj at the defense tabl and I could tell he was extremely worried about what was going to happen. Thankfully, he had been able to remain at the house with us after Rip paid the $1,000,000 bail, which he did without hesitation. As the jury walked in, Simon turned around to face us for a moment, and I let Rip’s hand go to form a heart with both of mine. He gave me a soft smile before looking straight again. I knew he thought that he was going to be taken away from us, and while that was a very real possibility, I was praying that they would go easy on him. With the charges against him, he was possibly facing life in prison, which made me even more grateful that Raj was such an amazing attorney.He had brought dozens

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   The Interrogation

    After getting the girls tucked back into their beds at the house hours later, Brian came by to speak with Simon. After I led them to my home office, I sat Simon in my chair with Brian and his partner sitting across from him, while I hovered slightly behind him with my hands on his shoulders.“Rip, you have to let us question Simon without interference. If you impede–”“So, sorry, I’m late, Rip,” Raj said as he walked into the office with his briefcase. He turned his attention to Brian, holding his hand out. “Brian, it’s so good to see you. If you don’t mind, I need to speak to my client. If you would please give us five minutes.” He gave the police officers a stern look. “Alone.” Both Brian and his partner got up to leave as Raj turned to me. “You, too, Rip.”“But he’s my–”“Son? Yeah, I get it. I also understand that you’re paying me, but Simon is my client, not you,” Raj told me, making me narrow my eyes at him. “Now, if you don’t mind, I only have a few minutes.”I grumbled under m

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Rip's Reaction

    RipWhen we got to the hospital, I escorted Simon and Becky up to the private room that I rented for our family. When we walked in, Naomi uttered a relieved cry as she ran over to hug Becky and Simon, bursting into tears as she rocked them back and forth. After I got my wife calmed down, I got Becky onto one of the beds, not missing the way she refused to let Simon go. It didn’t surprise me at all. She was terrified, and he had saved her. The next few days were going to be important. Naomi and I were going to have to start working on building her confidence back up. I had already reached out to Phoebe and asked her to come speak to Becky. While Becky was being checked out by a doctor, I nodded my head toward the door.“Come on, Simon. I want to talk to you,” I told him.“NO! PLEASE, DADDY! DON’T TAKE HIM!” Becky screamed, pulling away from the doctor to hug Simon’s arm, effectively keeping him hostage. I sighed as I rubbed the back of my neck before turning toward the doctor.“I hate
