Meredith's POVI sat strapped onto the back seat, panting heavily as I held tightly to the jacket like it's my lifeline. Raymond yelled and I couldn't hear a thing he said. We were screwed. My hand shook and I prayed silently to change if I didn't die even if I knew I wouldn't change. It would be hard.My eyes dropped down and I noticed his fingers fumble with the gun on the passenger's seat. He raised it and began firing at the windscreen. I covered my ears, cowering and screaming.“Goddamn it! They are closing in on us!” Raymond yelled. “Quit screaming!”My mind was made up. I held the door's handle, counting my breath and panicking inside. I could barely hear my own thoughts.My face pressed into the seat with the police voice roaring through a speaker. “Surrender now! It's the police!”“Boss, what do we do?” his driver asked and I bit my nail.“Turn the damn wheel,” Raymond cursed. I felt useless and invisible, my heart racing as the driver slammed the brakes.The car jerked and a

Lucy's POVThree Months later:I held onto the phone speaking to Susan. It had been ages. “Hold on, girl. I feel the baby's moving,” I said. “!!!” Susan screamed while I rubbed my belly. “How's my strong man doing?”“Susan, we aren't sure of its gender yet.”“Why not?” She asked.“I don't know. I just wanted it to be a surprise.”“Ah-ha. I wonder how surprised you'll be if you have twins.”I chimed. “Susan. Don't. I have a major crisis thinking about having one. I love babies but it's going to be twice the stress.”“I know. I'm just so excited to be a Godparent. How far gone are you?” She asked like an excited chipmunk.“Three months,” I answered and she giggled. Susan was more excited for the baby than I was.“I have to go. The models are giving me stress. I'll talk to you later. Bye, sweetie.”I kissed her back and the line went dead. I smiled, running my hand around my belly. “Mommy can't wait to meet you,” I cooed.Then I got out of bed. The image staring at me from the reflecti

Lucy's POVTwo and Half Months LaterThe music played in the ballroom. Tonight was Dwayne and Xandra's engagement party. He was as nervous as hell a day before, asking me for the hundredth time if Xandra would love to be his.Shane had fun mocking him. Dwayne and I had gotten closer. He acted like my brother and made Shane swear he would be the godfather of our child. Shane didn't buy that.“That's Caleb's role. You're an uncle. Deal with it.”“Tsk. After denying he was your best friend for so long,” Caleb complained.Shane had his hands over Dwayne's shoulder and teased him some more. “Thanks for making me realize it. You're not completely useless after all.”Dwayne shot him a glare and I knew what was up. “Nope. Not here. You two are going to act like grown men. Shane, stop testing Dwayne's patience. He needs it for tomorrow and you…”Dwayne's eyes immediately went to my face. “Let it go. Come help me with this.”Dwayne rushed over and then I felt a kick in my stomach. “Oooh,” I gro

Lucy’s POVGolden morning sun filtered through the curtains, lighting and warming the room. For the first time in weeks, both twins had slept later than dawn.It was supposed to be a gentle start.I was halfway through my coffee when Caroline blew in with the paper. “Front page, darling.”There was one: a picture of Dwayne and Xandra’s engagement, the headline citing the “Mason family charm.” I laughed. “Charm? They certainly didn’t see me screaming at Shane in that parking lot.”Caroline smiled. “They saw what mattered.”Before I could answer, the doorbell . It was quick, and sharp.Shane emerged from the nursery, still in his pajama pants. “Expecting someone?”“No,” I said. “Maybe Xandra forgot something.”The guard returned with a glossy black envelope. He handed it over to me. I took it, confused. It has no name and no return address.“The mail man said it was for Mrs. Wilson,” he said and I nodded, letting him return.I stared at the silver wax seal, imprinted with an odd symbol
