Chapter Eight

Dragon

Seeing her battered wrists, the dirt smudging her skin, the slice across her breast, and the tangled state of her hair made me realize that I was damn lucky right now. Not only was she okay, but she’d not been afraid when she was taken. This time she’d fought back, and she’d escaped on her own. Twice, apparently. I was so fucking proud of her.

The doctor had tended to her wounds and bandaged them, and thankfully hadn’t said a damn word about her needing a shower. If they’d had one in this place, I’d have demanded they let her use it to clean up. I knew it bothered her. I could see it in her eyes and the way she held herself.

But right now I wasn’t looking at Lil. I was staring at a very tiny human on a computer screen. No, not just one. Two tiny humans. My Lil was having twins. I had two babies on the way. The baby currently on the screen kept moving, not letting us get too long a look before shifting again. It felt like my heart swelled as I looked at the little face, hands, and feet.

“Ah ha!” the doctor said, freezing the image on the screen and zooming in. “Congratulations, Baby A is a girl.”

A daughter? Holy shit! Forget a second crib, I needed to go buy more ammo and guns. I stared in awe at the little human on the screen. Whatever it took, I’d keep her safe. And hopefully do a better job than I’d done with Lilian.

“And Baby B,” the doctor said, pressing on Lil’s stomach to reposition the other baby, “is a boy! One of each! Aren’t the two of you lucky?”

“Yeah,” I said. “At least I’ll have some help keeping the boys away from my daughter. Just have to train her brother young.”

Lilian squeezed my hand and the doctor laughed. He wiped the goop off Lil’s stomach, then I helped her sit up.

“Everything looks good,” the doctor said. “Find an OBGYN close to your home and stick with them through this. I can make a few recommendations if you’d like, or if you already have one picked out, just make sure you schedule an appointment soon. Call my office with their information and we’ll send over a report from today’s visit.”

“Thank you, Dr. Cooper,” I said, reaching out to shake his hand.

“I would recommend that you give her a day or two of rest before you make that long drive back home. She needs to rehydrate as well, and eat a few balanced meals. After what she’s been through, it’s a miracle she didn’t lose the babies. Once you get back home, no more road trips. And by that I mean, try to keep travel to within an hour of your residence, and keep her as stress free as possible, and good luck dealing with pregnancy hormones. I have four kids and I swear my normally docile wife turned into a barracuda with each pregnancy.”
