She moved, burrowing into my body.
Instinctively, I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and pulled her into me, her feet finding their way to in between my calves as she liked to do every night.
“Be
“Hmm,” I asked, well on the way to dreamland.
“How many kids do you want?” She asked.
I ran my lips over the top of her head. “One. Two. Three. Whatever. I don’t really care. As long as you want to keep having them, I’ll keep planting them inside of you.”
She snorted. “How chivalrous of you. And are these babies going to be legitimate, or just fruits of your loins?”
I smiled, knowing I had her.
“Oh, if I have my way, they’ll be legitimate,” I informed her.
Her lips pressed against my bare chest.
“When do you plan on making them legitimate?” She continued.
I didn’t answer.
Mostly because my eyes were too heavy, and my mind was already shutting down.
Though I did think it.
Soon, Le

Legitimate.
He was going to make babies with me. Legitimate babies.
Babies.
Holy shit.
Babies had never been on my agenda before. Not with my hectic schedule.
With Be
I’d already taken a significant decrease in hours so I could spend more time with Be
While it hadn’t been on purpose, I still liked the outcome, and pla
I liked it.
I got to see the two of them every night, and if anything happened and Be
It’d been three weeks since the night Corri
I’d gone to the police station, per Be
My parents and I had had to change our phone numbers due to the hundreds of calls a week I got.
Apparently, not only had she given my phone number out to the residents in my neighborhood, but she’d also placed an ad for ‘a good time’ on Craigslist and other dating websites with pictures she’d secretly taken of me.
That latest event had taken place about a week after she’d tried to run me off the road, and I was honestly tired of it. It was really putting a toll on my happiness, which I guess was what she’d been trying to accomplish.
Be
Especially when Corri
Everybody knew it was bogus, but Be
“Are you nervous?” I asked Be
He squeezed my hand slightly before shaking his head. “No. There’s no reason for her to get custody of Reagan. In fact, this is all just preliminary. The papers have already been signed, sealed, and dated. The only thing that happened was that it wasn’t filed through the state. It’s a done deal.”
Shockingly, we found out that it wasn’t a done deal less than an hour later when the judge’s gavel rang out like a shotgun blast shooting through the courtroom.
“Court dismissed,” the judge roared.
She had to roar because everyone on Be
The only two not screaming were Be
Be
Todd, Be
In fact, if I didn’t know any better, I would’ve said he was plotting murder.
Corri
I was seething mad, and if looks could kill, Corri
Her husband, Buck, the spineless bastard, sat in his seat looking like he’d just been beaten with the same crowbar that’d taken out Be
He was looking down at his hands that were twisting in his lap, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell he was doing with her.
I couldn’t figure it out when I was in college, either. Which was why I’d been accused of cheating with him in the first place. I’d been trying to save him, and look where that’d gotten me!
“I can’t believe she gave her partial custody,” Payton breathed beside me. “She’s going to kill her.”
“She won’t get her,” Max mumbled from her other side. “The boys and I…we’ll make fucking sure of it. She won’t touch another hair on that baby’s head.”
No, she wouldn’t.
I’d make sure of it.
I didn’t know how, or when, but I’d make sure of it.
Even if I had to kill the bitch.
I’d do it for Be
Okay, I probably wouldn’t kill her. But I’d maim her.
“Did she pay the judge off?” Shiloh asked softly. “Why would any sane person do that? She has tons and tons of evidence in front of her. Seriously, either that judge is mentally challenged, or she was paid off. There’s no other reason for what she’s done.”
I agreed.
One hundred and ninety percent.
“Everyone leaves a trail,” James said cryptically.
“Be
Be
My heart ached.
And it really ached when I got to the parking lot to see Be
“Shit,” I murmured.
Everyone got on their bikes, or into their prospective cars, and started motoring away, and I was left alone before I even realized that I needed a ride.
So I called a cab and had the driver take me to Be
Only when I got there, it was only for Be
“I need some time to talk to her. Alone,” he murmured, eyes void of any emotion.
I nodded.
“Okay,” I nodded. “I’ll just leave you alone. Call me when you want me to come back over?”
He nodded. “Thanks, Le
Not Nox like he’d been calling me for the last couple of weeks.
Le
My heart hurt for him as I watched him close the door on me, and ached even more as I started the long walk home.
I didn’t call a cab this time, instead settling on a long walk in hopes of clearing my brain of the cobwebs and any lingering doubts that my brain was trying to shove upon me.
But I couldn’t shake them.
Had I been the one to bring this all on Be
Would Corri
She hated me. Seriously hated me.
For something I’d never even done, but she’d thought I’d done, nonetheless.
Did he blame me?
By the time I’d gotten home, I’d worked myself into a major depression.
All the assurances that Be
In their place were disturbed thoughts.
Ones that wouldn’t go anywhere.
That’d stay and fester if Be
But he didn’t banish them.
He was gone.
And had no plans of ever coming back.
