Chapter 7

Gus

“You really shouldn’t be getting up,” Sawyer warned, trying to push me back onto the bed. But damn it, I needed to see her face and yell at her for scaring at me. They had wheeled her out of here into the next room, and I could hear her talking, but I needed to see her. Why wouldn’t they let me see her?

“Just let me get up. I need to get over there.”

“And if you tear a stitch? You really want me to have to face Jen or any of your teammates? Because I might work out, but I don’t work for a security company.” Sawyer flexed his biceps, and I rolled my eyes. Thankfully, I didn’t have a headache or a concussion, though it had been a near thing.

It was all I could do not to remember the explosion. The man coming toward us, all my training out the window. All because I needed to protect Jen.

And apparently our unborn child.

I swallowed at that, trying to come to terms with the ramifications of that information.

I had willingly nearly sacrificed everything for her. And I would do it again in a heartbeat. Because I loved her.

Holy hell. Things had truly just changed. Only I wasn’t sure how we were supposed to deal with it all.

I knew I wouldn’t be able to deal with it sitting in this room.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Sawyer asked. “Please, don’t do anything stupid.”

I shook my head, slowly moving my feet off the bed.

“Give me some pants. I’m not going to show my ass around the hospital.”

“If you go and confront her right now, that’ll be showing your ass in a different way.”

I flipped my brother off. “Please. Pants. I need to see her. I need to make sure she’s okay.”

Sawyer studied my face for a long moment before nodding.

“I just need to see her, Sawyer. Please.”

Sawyer sighed and then went to the bag he had brought with him. “Mom’s going to kill me if she finds out I did this.”

“Mom’s going to kick my ass if I don’t actually speak with Jennifer before she finds out.”

As soon as I said the words, he turned to me, and both of us widened our eyes. “Shit. Yes. You need to talk with her. Now.”

He helped me get dressed quickly, and then I slowly moved to the room beside us.

Daisy stood there, her gaze narrowed. “What the hell are you doing up?”

I held up my hand as Sawyer slowly backed away. Weakling. Though I didn’t tell him that. Mostly because I was afraid of Daisy, too.

“Just let me talk to her.”

“We need to make sure you are healthy enough to stand up, too, you know.”

“I’m fine. A clean bill of health.”

She looked pointedly at my bandage, and I shrugged, immediately regretting it. “I’m going to be fine. Nothing permanent. I just need to make sure she’s safe. Please.”

“They’re keeping her for observation. Fix this. I want my people to be okay.”

I nodded and made my way into the room.
