LOGINFor a moment I’m stunned not expecting him to ask that.“I heard Grandpa and Grandma talking. They said that Aunt Brook pushed Aunt Sierra down the stairs because she didn’t want her to have your baby” he answers my silent question.When I don’t say anything, he continues, “Besides, when both Aunt B
I don’t wait. I pull out my phone again and scroll to a number, before I press call.It rings twice before it’s picked up.“Noah,” the voice on the other end says, calm and steady.“Uncle Reaper,” I reply. “I need your help.”There’s a brief silence, and I can almost picture him on the other end, al
It’s been two days and still nothing. No lead. No evidence. Absolutely nothing that could tell me where Brook is or where she took my daughter.My daughter has now been missing for about a week and having no answers is driving me fucking insane. I can’t breathe. I can’t relax. I can’t sleep. Can’t e
“I want him found,” I say immediately.“I’ve got Blaze working on it. We’re waiting on tracking information.”As if on cue, his phone pings. He glances at it and then looks back at me. “That’s him.”“Where?” Gunner asks.The address is quickly entered into the GPS, and Jack adjusts course without he

Apart from the twins, they’re the other reason I didn’t end things even when I felt like I couldn’t live a second longer. They would have been devastated, and I’ve never wanted to be the reason they’re hurting.“How have you been, big brother?” Iris asks, concern hidden in the depths of her blue eye
NoahThe hum of the car blends with Nolan’s off-key singing from the backseat, a tune I couldn’t place but one he’s singing with so much conviction I didn’t have the heart to stop him.Beside him, Nova is trying to braid her doll’s hair while instructing her brother, rather loudly, that he's singing
Sierra.It’s been a couple of days since my confrontation with Noah. Am I okay? Definitely not. I’m still fucking pissed off and, if I’m being honest, hurt.I never expected him to welcome this pregnancy with open arms, but to outright suggest I get an abortion? That broke something in me.
