Chapter nine
Two weeks passed since the hidden truth of Jessica's affair came to light when Cassie's father broke into my house. Daisy has been sleeping in our room since. Even as a cop and an ex-marine I'm scared to sleep after hearing he's had a key to get in all this time without my knowledge.
Kelly has been stroking the scar on my abdomen every night to help me sleep. I find it soothing even when I start going into an anxiety attack. Carrie had to bring me to her the other day in the middle of a shift. A suspect we were arresting knew about Kelly and threatened to kill her if he got out of jail. Even though Jess cheated on me and Cassie wasn't mine, having the thought of losing Kelly and the twins scared me more than anything.
Carrie and I were granted permission to shadow her at the hospital until the suspect has his sentence hearing. So far in two days six people have tried to harm her and failed. I have taken down each attacker and each time Kelly's breaths hitch.&nb

I could be cooking at the stove and hear them gasp when I need to lean down to check in the oven. They even watch me do my workout in the morning.My mother was over for dinner a few nights ago and laughed at the two of them. They had their eyes on my every move like they were hypnotized.

"You're sure he's dead and all threats are gone," I ask in a choked whisper."Yes, he was caught up in a prison gang fight and another prisoner stabbed him with a shiv," the warden says softly. "All of those who followed him are in solidarity confinement."I break into relieved sobs and Carrie takes the phone. "Thank you warden, I'm s

By lunch time most of our wedding plans were set. I let Kelly pick the full menu for the reception and I picked most of the decorations. I asked to take a break when I looked down at Kelly asleep on my shoulder, hugged to my arm. I carry her up to our room and laid her in bed.I head back down and look over what we've already decided. I added a few things to the food menu I thought children would eat. I also finished picking out decorations and flowers. All that was left was the cake and I wasn't going to do that without Kelly."Jen did all this," Kelly asks in a choked whisper as I was falling asleep at the table."Yes sweetheart, she's been in here all day," Valerie says quietly."All that's left is the cake and seating arrangements," Kelly chokes quietly as she runs her hand in my hair. "I can't believe how beautiful the reception hall will look. I don't understand how Jessica could let their guests disrespect her like that.""

Kelly and I had backed off, letting her have her chance at a relationship with Monica.I visit Grace twice a day, during lunch and her bedtime.

I take in a gasping breath, bright lights over me with multiple voices around me. Only one voice stuck out over the rest, Kelly's. She was calling my name and I turn my head in her direction. I reach my hand out to her and she takes it. Her breaths start calming down as we held eye contact, her face stained with tears. "I almost lost you Jennifer," she chokes in a shaky whisper. She places my hand on her stomach and I could feel the twins kicking wildly. "They need you Jennifer, they only calm down for you."The doctors and nurses around us kept quiet as she spoke with me. "Good call bringing her in Claire," one of the doctors say softly. "We almost lost her.""Is she dead," I ask in a raspy whisper."Katie," Kelly asks in a choked whisper and I nod. "Yes and so is Kevin's brother."I let out a relieved sigh and close my eyes. I let my thumb sweep at her stomach as the twins kicking calmed down. She lets out a relieved sigh and steps closer to
