Chapter twenty-three
I was finishing up my detective's exam when Jackson's secretary came running up to us with a troubled look in her eyes. Her eyes meet mine and I run out of there before she could even say a word. I get to my car and call Kelly from the car phone. "What's wrong? I didn't give Jackson's secretary a chance to explain," I choke in a worried whisper.
"I'm at the hospital with Peyton," she chokes quietly. "Claire is fine, our mothers are with her. I rode in the ambulance with her, can you come here, please?"
"I'm on my way, just hang in there okay," I choke quietly.
"I need you Jen, I don't think I can calm down without you. I'm scared," she chokes in broken sobs. "Peyton stopped breathing."
"She's going to be fine, do you hear me," I choke quietly, fighting to be strong for my wife.
"Yes," she says in a choked whisper, barely audible.
"I love you," I choke in a soothing whisper and hear her let out a calming breath.

After giving Claire a full body massage with relaxing lavender oil, she had fallen asleep. I dressed her in some loose fitting clothes and quietly head downstairs to find everyone was still in the living room. Again, all conversations stop as I walk in the room. "So it's me who is not allowed to hear the conversation," I choke quietly, nodding. "If Claire wakes up before I get back, have her call me." "Jennifer, wait," Kelly calls out in a choked whisper and I turn to face her as tears roll down my cheeks. "We're worried about you. You just made detective and our daughter had open heart surgery. Your anxiety when you walked in my office scared me. I was surprised you didn't pass out from hyperventilating. "You're close with Peyton and today I walked in our room and you were snuggled with Kennedy. It was the most I've seen you interact with her since you delivered them. I just want to be here to help you and not have you hide from me," she chokes q

After a long night of torture, I woke with both of them on my chest. We didn't even bother to put night clothes on after our activities. I still have my hands cuffed to the bed and groan. Caroline pokes her head in and breaks into a fit of giggles. "Shut up," I grumble, trying to fight not to smile. "Help your sister out, please?"She comes in, looking for the key. "Hurry Caroline, I have to pee," I say in a shuttering breath as I feel one of their knees grind against my groin. "It's between your wife's bosom," she chuckles, pointing."Jesus Caroline, just get the key. I'll take the blame," I plead her.She manages to grab the key without disturbing Kelly. She feels my hands and says with a light laugh, "All of our parents are here. Mom sent me to check on you guys.""Not a word," I glare at her and she does the zip her lips motion. "Tell them I'll be down in a minute, let them sleep."She nods and leaves the room. I carefully slip out from both of them and they cuddle closer togethe

Kelly and Claire had me take a nap before we left for the hospital. I was falling asleep while eating breakfast and Caroline helped me walk to bed. Claire lays with me, stroking the scar on my chest as I fall asleep.I woke with Claire asleep on my chest and notice Kelly is cuddled behind Claire with her hand on her stomach. Claire stirs, her eyes fluttering open. I kiss the top of her head and she looks up at me with a light smile. Kelly nuzzles her face in Claire's neck and rubs at Claire's stomach. Claire hums with content and places her hand over Kelly's. "I want to properly check the triplets before we see the twins," I say quietly and they nod lightly. "I know Bryce said they seemed okay, but I need to know for sure. I'm sorry that I caused you to stress out. I shouldn't have ran off like that.""You only ran off because Caroline betrayed your trust," Claire says with understanding. "The triplets are calmly moving, I don't think we have anything to worry about, but if you're se

We were able to bring the twins home and Jamie took one of the spare rooms. Being the only one who knew what happened to her over there, I wanted her close to me. When I was still overseas, I was the only one in our unit able to calm her down. After hearing that she was repeatedly raped during her capture, she was bound to have PTSD attacks.I'd just gotten the girls back to sleep in the middle of the night when I heard screams come from the room Jamie was in. Sarah bursts from her room with a gun and I shake my head. She looks at me confused as Jamie screams for it to stop. She looks at me with understanding and I let myself in Jamie's room.She was tossing and turning, drenched in sweat. I take her in my arms and she beats on my chest. "Jamie, it's me," I shout over her screaming and she opens her eyes, scared. "It's okay now, you're home.""Jennifer," she asks in a scared whisper as if she thought she were dreaming."I'm here," I say in a soothing whisper and she lets out a calming

****I'm sorry in advance for what is about to happen in this chapter, but it needs to. There will be extreme gruesome context, mentions of torture. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK****I was back at work a few weeks later, following up on a lead to my case. An anonymous tip said the missing girl was last seen near an abandoned house outside of town. The kidnapper hasn't been seen around in two days so I took my chances and went there to look around. The moment I walk in the door I feel a hard hit to the back of my head, blacking out.I woke up with my head throbbing. I try to reach and rub the back of my head, but I couldn't move my hands. I look down and see I'm restrained to a chair by duct tape. I look at my waist and I'm thankful for wearing a belt. Why you may ask? I can use my belt to cut through the tape and escape. By the looks of it, I'm still at the abandoned house. Thankfully I told Caroline and Jamie where I was going.I decide to wait to see is holding me against my will before I tr

I was napping with Claire while her breathing and heart rate continues to slow down. I woke to stirring next to me and my eyes are immediately met with Claire's. Her hand caresses my scarred up face and tears fill both our eyes. "You're really awake," she asks with disbelief.I kiss her lips to answer her question and she whimpers relieved sobs as her tongue explores my mouth. The salty taste of her tears mingles with our kiss as she pours her emotions into the kiss. She breaks from the kiss, meeting my eyes and shutters a calming breath. "When I heard you on the phone," she chokes in a wavering whisper and shakes her head unable to finish her sentence. "Next time you get a call about a lead on a case, bring backup."We both laugh through our tears and I kiss her forehead. "I promise," I say in a soothing whisper and she lets out a relieved breath."I'm sorry," Kelly says in a wavering whisper and Claire looks at her in the doorway. "I shouldn't have forced you to see her knowing you
