Shot In the Dark

“Logan, can you get her inside or do you need help?” Rainer’s inquiry seemed to make Emily laugh harder.

“I’m fine,” Logan assured just before he stepped out of the Hummer and then fell forward into the Mustang. Rainer cursed under his breath. He grabbed Logan’s shoulders and guided him inside. He deposited him onto the couch and returned to help Adeline.

Emily managed her way in just as Rainer was trying to get Logan to help him take Adeline to bed. Instead, Logan pulled Adeline onto the couch, and they began a sloppy make out session.

As Logan ran his hands up the short hem of Adeline’s dress, Rainer grimaced. He suddenly had a horrible thought about all that had happened to Logan and Adeline the week before.

“Em!” he panicked.

“Yeah?” she seemed to be able to hold it together, at least for the moment.

“You have to cast her. She’s drunk. She won’t shield you out.”

Emily considered. “Rainer, I don’t feel so well. I think I had too much. I don’t know if I can do it right.”

“Baby, I cannot do that to her. I just can’t.” His head began to pound. He wasn’t certain if it was from the alcohol or from all that had happened in this seemingly endless night.

“Logan would freak.” He shuddered as he tried to envision telling Logan that he’d harnessed his fiancée’s energies and performed the cast to close her womb. Those images weren’t as horrible as Rainer picturing himself actually joining his energy with Adeline’s.

“Okay,” Emily seemed to steady herself.

“Just cast her, baby. I’ll take you to bed. I’ll take care of you. I swear. I know you don’t feel well, but I cannot do that,” he pointed to Adeline, who Logan now had underneath him on the couch.

Emily summoned. Rainer watched her closely. It took everything she had in her. She paled as she performed the task.

Rainer put his hands on her to hold her steady. She drew a measured breath as she moved to Adeline. Rainer shoved Logan to the side rather forcefully.

“Get off of her, and go to bed!”

Logan stumbled towards his and Adeline’s room. The liquor seemed to be taking full effect. Emily managed to harness Adeline’s energy. She placed her hand on her abdomen and sealed her off.

Emily tinged green as she sank against the back of the sofa.

“Just a second, sweetheart. Just sit right there and let me get her to bed.”

Emily began rubbing her eyes and forehead. She watched as Rainer lifted Adeline, and half-carried and half-guided her into the bed with Logan. He certainly wasn’t removing her dress for her. She was going to have to sleep that way.

“Come on, baby.” He eased Emily off of the couch. She leaned against him, and he didn’t think she could take the twenty or so steps from the couch to their bedroom, so he lifted her up and carried her in his arms.

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize it would be so strong. I think I only had two or three.
