KELLAN'S P.O. V

Dean, in fact, did not go according to plan.

“He told you not to hurt them," July protested, pushing him in the chest.

Dean only smiled down at her, then slid his gaze to me. “Nice truck. So many cool gadgets," his greedy eye took in the monitors and laptops appreciatively. “I remember when I was still in the F.B.I., those big guys never let me play with all the cool stuff, do you know how many —”

“Would you stop?” I glowered at him, an ache spiking behind my eyes. I brought my hand to massage my temples and pray for Patience. “I told you not to hurt them" I repeated again.

Dean shrugged and with his foot, kicked an unconscious Dominic. “This one was claiming to know the law" he mocked, making a face. “He wanted to speak to his lawyer and I had to well..." Another casual shrug as if he hadn't just drugged two people. “I had to improvise"

July studied Mrs Beau and Dominic, who were sitting unconscious in the plastic seats. “How long till they wake up?”

    KELLAN P.O.VIt was Dean's laughter that broke the long, stunned silence.I eyed the young man before me, his hardened jaw, clenched fists, and unapologetic eyes. “I killed Pete." He repeated, his words carrying an edge to them.I rubbed my jaw again, processing what he had just revealed. “Why?"I didn't care much about Pete, even though he was Ashley's father. The man had always been a fleeting presence in her life, leaving the duty of child raising to Genevieve who wasn't any better.God knows I'll lay down everything to be present for Ashley and our daughter. Dominic shifted in his seat, his body going rigid. “I had no choice," he said, glancing at his mother whose mouth was open in pure shock.“They made me do it"Mrs Beau's face drained of colour, and her hand trembled by her side. “They made you do what?" She asked in that voice that was barely a whisper.Behind them, I tilted my head to Martin's to make sure he was recording this—not that it would be viable in court since this

    KELLAN'S P.O.VThe sun was hot, as usual.July squinted, pressing her sunglasses higher as we stepped out of my car and crossed the road to the surveillance truck parked two streets away from the Beaus' family mansion.The vehicle didn’t look like much from the outside, just a black delivery truck with tinted windows, but inside was a different world.We reached the doors of the truck and I keyed in the security code by the door. The lock clicked, and the back doors slid open to reveal Martin’s tired face.He's been in here for two days now.“Sir" he jolted away from his chair, some of his coffee spilling over him. “Good to see you too, Martin's," I said with a small tilt of my lips as I helped July climb into the truck. She took off her sunglasses, her eyes sweeping over the narrow space that had been converted into a full tech spaceAlong the left wall hung two large monitors, each divided into multiple camera feeds, traffic cams, and visuals all giving a live view of the Beau's f

    ASHLEY'S P.OVI was starting to get scared.I didn't tell Kellan, though; he's been a constant support these past few days while we stayed at the hospital. He has never left, not even once; he made sure I ate all my meals on time and assured me that our daughter would be born fine and healthy.But I was worried still, before now, my daughter usually kicked a lot, I could feel her most of the time because she was mostly awake, but for the past three days we've been here, her movements are slow, not the sharp kicking pain that makes me winceKellan didn’t know about this yet. He was already taking on so much on his shoulders, and I couldn't add this bit. Between planning with July on how to stop Genevieve and receiving calls from Lockar about how his presence was desperately needed, he was already taking too muchKellan was doing everything to make sure our daughter was born into safety. Every time I look at him, my heart aches in my chest, at the faint exhaustion always clouding his fe

    KELLAN'S P.O.VAshley's friends pushed themselves in. They had arrived a few minutes ago with July hushing them all to be calm, that this was a hospital and Ashley was asleep I tried to keep note of their names as they all introduced themselves, but my mind was only focused on Ash.I watched as tears pooled in her eyes as her friends hugged her one by one, handing out a small gift parcel to herUnconsciously, she rested her hand protectively over the swell of her stomach. A warm feeling glided over my chest I loved it when she did that, like she was shielding out daughter from the evil in this world.Our daughter.... My daughter God. My eyes burned and I blinked it away. I was going to be a Dad, I made a baby with the woman I loveAshley and I made a human together. My heart grew wings and stretched wide in my chest, almost to the point where it was difficult to breathe What would I not do for this girl who wasn't even born yet? What wouldn't I give for her and her mother?"Jack

    ASHLEY'S P.O.VI fell asleep again I've been really sleepy since I got here, maybe it's the medication, or just the stress from the emergency I was in, but whatever it was, it dragged me into sleep soon after Kellan leftWhen I woke up, blinking against the white ceiling, I tried to think if the small voices I heard were in the room or just a part of my sleep-induced dreamI tried to sit up, pushing myself on one elbow when a strong hand slid into my back and held my other hand, gently guiding me till my back was against the bedI wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. “Kellan" I was half stunned to see him here.Kellan had changed out of the clothes I last saw on him, even his expression was somewhat different, he reached forward and pushed hair off my face “How are you, Ash?" He asked, still touching my face tenderly. I felt my heart flutter at that nickname.I managed a smile too, taking every detail of his unshaven, drop-dead handsome face down to the plain t-shirt he wore and
