Michael's POVBANG!The loud sound of the gunshot echoed around me. My feet sped off first, even though my mind seemed to have frozen. Danielle's wails could be heard from miles away. I vaguely heard Jonathan on the phone talking to the paramedics. And then my heart felt like it collapsed when I saw Dionnah falling to the ground, her body rolled down the first flight of stairs. I hurried to her side. "Dionnah!" I shouted. I knelt next to her, blood was pouring from her chest. "Dee! No! Dionnah — Oh God! Oh God!" Dani was wailing. "Dani, I need you to stay calm," I told her. Jonny was quickly by my side. "The police and ambulance are on their way," Jonny spoke as he assessed the scene. His hands trembled with adrenaline, he didn't know how to help Dee.Being a SEAL, I had some medical training, so I knew what to do. I lifted Dee and checked for an exit wound. "Good, the bullet went right through her. We just have to stop the bleeding until the paramedics get here. Dani, do you have
MICHAEL'S POVI must have run a dozen stoplights to get to the hospital. I zoned out Dani crying on the phone to her parents. I could hear Mrs. Delaney screaming in pain over the phone when she heard about Dionnah getting shot. Jon quickly took the phone and diffused the situation, telling the old couple that their daughter would be okay and that he'd send word as soon as he heard something. It took a lot of convincing to get them to stay put and not travel here in the middle of the night. Jon informed them that they didn't need to come until at least the morning. As soon as I pulled up into the hospital's parking lot, I was running towards the entrance with Jon, Dani, and Stella hot on my tail. I ran up to the front desk. I was bloodied and out of breath. "Dionnah Delaney," I said, the woman at the front desk assessed me with worried eyes."Sir, are you hurt?""No, it's not my blood. Can you tell me where Dionnah Delaney is?"The woman cleared her throat and quickly checked the syst
DIONNAH'S POVI felt like I was in a dream, and in that dream, I saw a bright blinding light. The light gave me a slight headache as I looked into it. Somewhere in the light, I saw a hand outstretched towards me. I reached for the hand as I felt it was there to give me comfort and reassurance, but instead, the hand grabbed my shoulders and pushed me backward. I stumbled backward and into reality.I heard a beeping sound before I even opened my eyes. I slowly opened them so they could adjust to the light. I scanned my surroundings for any familiarity, which wasn't there. I at least realized that I was in the hospital. I remember Derick's altercation and him firing a gun at me. I even vaguely remember falling down a flight of stairs. Now I understood what was the cause of this throbbing in my head. I looked to my left as I scanned the room some more. There he was. Michael was curled up in a chair beside my bed. His face was hardened and tense even though he was asleep. He had a stubble
DIONNAH'S POVSince I got home a week ago I've been in bed the majority of the days. Even though I wasn't allowed back to work until two weeks, I've kept myself occupied by doing my work at home. Stella visited me once in the hospital and once when I got home. She felt guilty about what took place but I reassured her that it wasn't her fault. Derick, on the other hand, couldn't face what he had done, and after the police showed up he managed to get ahold of the gun he used to shoot me and he turned it on himself and ended his life. It's a shame because I think all he needed was a little help. Michael had gotten more protective of me since the incident. He wouldn't even let me go to the grocery store by myself. I didn't mind being waited on now and again, but he was getting out of hand. It was Saturday morning and I woke up feeling refreshed. I quietly got out of bed and went to chill by the pool. I wanted to go for a swim but my chest was still a little sore so I didn't push myself.
DIONNAH'S POVI wasn't at all shocked to hear that Danielle would be having twins, for Christ's sake she looked more pregnant than she actually was. Jonathan on the other hand almost passed out when Dani broke the news to him. Michael had to grab a chair for him immediately. Even though he was shocked when Jonathan recovered he was over the moon.Danielle called mom to share the news. They insisted on returning to help now since I was shot and all.I had to plead with my parents for them not to come. They still planned on returning to throw a baby shower for both of us.Michael wanted to get married before the baby came, but I told him I wanted to wait until after which he didn't agree with. He wanted our baby to be born in wedlock. I was just happy that all is well with the baby and Dr. Evans said I could do normal stuff like sex, light exercise and I could even return to work the following week.Micheal was still avoiding being intimate with me. I decided to test him to see if it w
MICHAEL'S POVDionnah ran off so fast I didn't have time to catch my bearings. I sat there with my head in my hands. She just did not understand how I felt. My anxiety is acting up making me terrified that something will happen to her and the baby. Yes!I was over the moon when Dionnah agreed to marry me. I could see it all. Us exchanging vows and saying our I dos. The fun we would have on our honeymoon. I wanted to get married before the baby came but Dionnah wanted to do it after, I agreed to it with some form of reservation.I couldn't stop looking at the ultrasound of our baby. It was so tiny and fragile. After Dionnah got hurt I vowed that I would do everything in my power and beyond to keep her and the baby safe. And I meant anything and everything! I realized that I was afraid of hurting the baby myself. That was a risk I didn't want to take. I found myself acting the same way Dionnah had been acting a month ago. I tried to avoid her in every way possible. It was working until
DIONNAH'S POVThe next morning I woke up with this exquisite feeling building inside my core. I slightly opened my eyes to see Michael's head between my legs and to feel his sweet fingers performing magic on my sweet bundle of nerves. I moaned and arched my back into the bed as the feeling became more and more intense. "More Michael, more," I moaned as he removed his hand from my honey pot. Before I could plea again, his mouth replaced his fingers. He sucked and licked my clit until I was practically gasping for breaths. I started grinding on his tongue to increase the pleasure, but he held me steady before smirking."Don't move." he then continued to do his masterful work. This time he inserted two fingers inside me which made me moan in agony and ecstasy. He then did the most agonizingly sweet gesture by blowing on my honey pot."Oh fuck," I gave out."You like that?""Oh yes- yes, yes Michael," I said as I grabbed his hair and then ran my hand through it.He pumped in and out in
DIONNAH'S POVAfter having our first meeting with Minister Duncan, we were informed that we had to push back the wedding a month. Minister Duncan was going away for two weeks and we had to wait until he returned. I didn't have a problem at all. We needed more time to plan anyway. The wedding was going to be a small one on the beach with about fifteen to twenty people. At the last meeting, we were told to bring at least three questions each, so that we could ask each other. I contemplated what I wanted to ask Michael before making a list with four questions. It was the last meeting and I was looking forward to the final advice that Mr. Duncan had to give us on ensuring our marriage is successful if there is such a thing. We had the first appointment and as we reached the office we got straight into things."Good morning you two." "Good morning Minister," Michael and I said in unison."I hope you both are doing well- So I told you two to come prepared with questions you would like to
