I pull her closer into my body and rub her back gently and lay my head on top of her head. I just need to hold her for a moment to regain my composure. I'll put up my professional shield once I know she is okay."Hey, man. I just got the call, but I guess you beat me," he says coming up behind the EMT. "Is she okay?""I think she's in shock," I state, trying to remain calm, but it's a lost cause."Mind if I check her out?" The young EMT came up to us, motioning to his ambulance."Sure," I say, keeping her in my arms the entire time. I can't release her yet. I'm not ready... And from the way she's holding me like she will fall apart any moment if I let her go, she isn't ready to let me leave her either.We end up sitting in the ambulance with her in my lap. She's cuddled up to my chest and I love it. She's still shivering, but at least her breathing has steadied a little bit."Anderson, what happened?" Brad asks, trying to figure out how this all happened."I'm not really sure. We were

"I'll follow you," Brody insisted, looking at me with a soft gaze. "Hey Little Lucy, your mama's gonna make you all better," he says running a hand over her sweaty curls.She looks up at him and gives him a little whimper."That is very sweet of you Officer Anderson," Mom says, looking between the three of us. There is a little sparkle in her eye, tempered with her worry for Lucy and my accident."You can just call me Brody," he smiles back."Then I insist you call me Mandy. Mrs. Chase makes me sound so old," she giggles at him, as she opens the door for us to get to the cars. She locks her house while I get Lucy buckled into her car seat.I don't know why, but somewhere in the back of my mind, this conversation feels important. But all my focus is on my baby and getting her the medical help she needs. Maybe later when I have time to think things through, I'll come up with something that makes sense.15 minutes later we are at our local Urgent Care and I'm filling out Lucy's medical i

I sniff, trying to hold back my tears. It's hard being a mother and making choices for your children. What if I'm wrong? What if I should be with her?Brody gives me a soft look as he transfers Lucy into my arms. "I think you need some time with her," he whispered."Thanks Brody," I give him a wobbly smile. I don't know why, but I have this sudden urge to kiss him. The thought surprises me and I look away from him quickly to hide my blush. That was completely inappropriate. But be that as it may, I can't seem to push the thoughts from my head. Maybe I'm just on some weird emotional roller coaster right now and I need something to ground me."For what? She's yours," he chuckles, wrapping an arm behind me. I lean into him. He is so strong, and right now I need this. But right now, being this close to him, when I can feel the heat of him pouring into me, my thoughts drift off to things I shouldn't be focusing on. I try to push the thought of his lips on mine away before I do something st

Turns out I did spend the evening with her anyway, just not the way I had hoped. It was in the Urgent Care holding Little Lucy. I'd much rather have spent it curled up on the couch with take out and Lucy playing on the floor while I held her mother.I couldn't stop the smirk when the nurse called me 'dad'. I would really love to be Lucy's dad. Becca didn't seem to mind, as she didn't correct the nurse either. I also couldn't stop the feeling that holding Lucy and Becca in my arms was just right somehow. Like this was what I've been looking for my whole life.I sat next to Becca holding her daughter while she was fighting internal demons. I could see it, the cogs in her mind telling her what she should do which was not what she wanted to do. I knew it wasn't an easy decision to make. She'd already given her mother her daughter the night before, and now she will be with her until all this mess is over.That does't mean she won't be seeing Lucy every day after work. I'm sure she plans on

Zach's POVI don't like him. The cop who thinks he can take me away from my wife. She'll be my wife again. I swear it. I'm going to show him one way or another he is not allowed to touch what's mine.First off, the bastard has the gall to spend the night with her in the hotel. And then he smirked at me, like he knew there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. I couldn't get that look out of my head, nor what they could've been up to in that lonely room.The thought made me sick.Then he drops her off at work and threatens me to stay away from her. Like I'd actually listen to him! I don't need to stay away from her! She just needs to come back to me. Then he can go screw himself. I won't let him have any other chance to get her to himself! She's meant to be with me.I'd been sending texts all day to remind Becca she actually belongs to me. Not some loser cop. She needs to remember she's still mine, no matter what some judge had decided. Didn't she know that? The moment I met her, I
