The nurse called out as the door opened.
I couldn’t answer as another pain shot through me but this time, it didn’t go away. Fear pegged me as her footsteps got closer but I was almost paralyzed in pain.
“Penny? Are you awake?”
Her voice was so calm and sweet sounding.
Thankfully, the blanket was pulled up to my face still.
“Yeah.”
I choked out.
“Give me a second and I’ll be out.”
I wasn’t sure she bought me telling her I was awake and okay but she didn’t question me. Instead, I heard her footsteps leave before pots and pans clinked in the kitchenette. – How tears came to my eyes, I wasn’t sure but as I tried to move, it got worse.
Something told me not to tell her.
Swinging my legs over the side of the bed, Thad to inch my way off the bed and to the bathroom.
The door was still open. Giving her a small smile and a wave, I tried to hide the pain. One…two…three steps I took before I was out of eye sight and doubled over. It was like a tightening and then it felt like all my insides were going to fall out. If I did a squat, the babies would just slide right now this very moment, Making it slowly to the bathroom, the toilet was my first objective. Not wanting to move my legs very far apart, I had to slide over, However, after sitting down and relieving myself, no babies slid out so I felt better about that. It didn’t change the sensation I got but at least I didn’t have to pee.
Using toilet paper and wiping, there was something greenish-yellow on the paper. It almost had a pinkish tent to it and looked like snot. My body froze as I looked down and realized it was my mucus plug.
These were either Braxton Hicks or I was in labor. All my reading flashed in my head. The pressure meant the babies had dropped. Losing my mucus plug meant my cervix was opening for the babies. Finally, the tightening was either early labor or Braxton Hicks.
What scared me the most was the thought of being so close to finally having these babies was that I had no idea where Colt was. Did he find out where I was yet? Or was I going to have to deliver by myself and pray that they didn’t take my babies? That is assuming they don’t need medical attention. Triplets are usually in the PICU for some time due to being delivered early but that was human babies. No one knew what my babies would be like.
“Penny? Is everything okay?”
The nurse called out, closer than I expected.
“YEAH!”
I called back instantly.
“I’m just moving slow this morning.”
It was the truth. Dropping the toilet paper, I flushed the evidence away and got up.
There was a closet full of clothes and I wanted out of this costume, A single dress caught my attention, telling me to slip it on. The smell of bacon and eggs filled my nose as I tied my hair up, out of my face.
“That smells good.”
I tried to smile though the pain that reared it’s ugly head when I walked out. Defiantly irregular pain. @
“You need your strength today. The doctor is coming today. He wants to take some blood and do an ultrasound to see how close you are to delivering.”
My heart skipped a few beats. It wasn’t like I had a choice. If I didn’t go along with it, I would lose my babies. They could even cut them out of me today.
The only peace of mind I had was knowing they would still be alive.
“Okay.”
It was all I could say in response.
“T’know it’s hard but just let him do what he needs to. Don’t push any more pain on your than you already have.
It’s bad enough your stress level is so high.”
She looked at me like she actually cared about me.
I didn’t buy it. I knew she wanted out of there, or at least she told me so.
However, as she put eggs on my plate with a real smile on her face, I couldn’t help but wonder if she only faked asking that to keep up on what my plans were for escaping.
“Here you go!”
The plate was filled high.
“Thank you.”
I muttered as I picked up my fork. Not wanting to meet her eyes.
[kept my busy with memor izing everything in the kitchen. Why they needed to butcher blocks was beyond me.
“After he is done, we can play a game or put a puzzle together?”
The nurse offered. She looked almost hopeful.
“Maybe. I might need to lay down and rest after he takes my blood.”
“That is true, you might be tired from the blood loss. OH!”
It was like a light blub went off and she remembered something. Pulling out a bottle of orange juice from the fridge, she poured me a glass.
“Drink up!”
As soon as my hands wrapped around the glass, the bedroom door opened.
Colt POV My office door opened without anyone knocking.
“Did you even sleep?”
Carson walked in with more energy than I cared for. Everyday that I was away from Penny, my mood reflected that.
“What do you think?”
I asked. Truthfully, I don’t think I have slept since she was taken. How many days was that now? Enough that I was starting to question my decisions.
Carson pulled an orange pill bottle from his pocket and gently placed them on my desk.
“You are no help to anyone if you don’t sleep. Your judgement is impaired. You will make mistakes. Those mistakes could cost you your life, the life of your men or worse… the life of Penny.”
Carson sat down and waited… judging my reaction.
“Where did you get the pills?”
I was half amused and half annoyed.
“The doctor. I asked him for something to help you. I knew you weren’t going to listen to him. You might listen to Alec. However, I watched you grow. I was an uncle to you as you grew up. On a personal level, I think of you as my son. You’re father was one of my best friends growing up. I made him a promise a week before he died and I promised him I would look after you. Be there for you. You have done one hell of a job so far. You need to sleep if you want to be able to get Penny back.”
I wasn’t fully surprised my dad reached out to him. He wasn’t wrong, he has been like my uncle. Gotbirthday gifts, attended any event I had and even showeda few fighting moves. If dad was going to ask anyone to help that I would listen to, he chose right.
“You think my judgement is being impaired?”
I challenged.
“Not yet but it will if you don’t sleep.”
He wasn’t blinking as he stared at me. He meant business and his focus wasn’t going to shift off of me.
Grabbing the bottle, I slipped it in my pocket.
“Is your daughter ready to go?”
I was done with the heart to heart.
“She is. I wanted to speak with you alone first.”
Carson sighed and relaxed in the arm chair.
“She is with Hank at the front door. She is getting stronger but her wolf isn’t back so I don’t know how successful this will be.”
“If you taught her the sthings you taught me, she might be able to get us closer.”
“Assuming she kept her head on her shoulders. She is very traumatized over the entire thing.”
Carson almost aged 40 years in five seconds
“She doesn’t have a mate, right?”
I was trying to remember but was drawing a blank. I didn’t even recognize her when I saw her because it had been so long.
“Not yet but until she gets her wolf back, she might not ever know.”
“Why wouldn’t she get her wolf back?”
Surely, after healing a little, she would be able to get her wolf back.
“She said her wolf has been gone for a very long time.”
Carson sighed as the fax started going off.
Looking at the clock, it was three in the morning.
“What the fuck is this?”
Reaching over to grab the paper, it tooka second to understand what I was reading. Beforewas multiple children that were kidnapped. sof these for over twenty-five years old. There was pictures of the kids when they were kidnapped and more pages cof what they might look like now.
“Will give these to the guys to study and look into while we are gone.”
Sighing, I put them on my desk and stood up.
“Ready?”
“Ready as I’ll ever be.”
