Fated Love: part 2

Abbigail's POV  After calming Shawn down, I pulled Melanie aside. I'm the only one she opens up to and the only one who can really read her. Beth still tries to figure out how I do it. She thinks I read her facial expressions, but I don't. Being blind for so long my other senses adapted. I haven't been able to turn it off since my sight was restored.  I'm still able to hear people's emotions in the voices. It's how I've been able to tell when Melanie is upset. I sat her down on the living room couch and give her a knowing look. She lets out a sigh and tears fill her eyes. "I hate that you read me so well," she chokes quietly as I take her hands.  "You've mastered the poker face, but your voice still gives you away," I say softly as the tears fall from her eyes. "You're scared about something." "Both of you are pregnant and Shawn and I have come close to death in the last few years. Who will be there for you, Beth and the kids if somethi

Beth's POV Five years ago...When I walked into Melanie's hospital room, she was curled up on her side, sobbing uncontrollably. I climb in behind her and hold her in my arms. I wanted to tell her about what I did, but now wasn't a good time. I don't want to get her hopes up if I'm not able to conceive her child. It would only destroy her more than she already is.She brings my hand to her chest and I was relieved she was accepting my comfort. I kiss her shoulder and she lets out a calming breath. She pushes me on my back and moves to lay on my chest. I wrap my arms around her, rubbing her back in comfort and she slowly drifts into sleep. Her breaths shook as she continued to calm down as she slept. Present day...I was able to get the others to leave the room so she could sleep peacefully in my lap. I play my fingers in her hair as she slept and started to feel tired myself. I place a pillow under my head and close my eyes as sleep take

Abbigail's POV Shawn came back down after checking on Beth and she looked relieved. She's been worried about her since we came home from the diner. The last time Beth cried like this, Amanda and Holly were killed. It took all of us to calm her down and that took a few days. She sits next to me and I take her hand. "How was she," I ask softly and she looks at me with relieved eyes. "She's calm. She wanted to lay with Melanie for a bit," she chokes with relief. "I thought it was going to be like Mandy and Holly all over again. I never thought she'd calm down after losing them.""I was just thinking the same thing," I say quietly as tears fill my eyes.I move to straddle her lap and she meets my eyes. I bring my hands to caress her face and she lets out a relieved breath, closing her eyes. It's been a while since I last touched her this way and I knew it would calm her down.I slowly trail my hands from her face, down her neck

Melanie's POV After searching all day for the chief's granddaughter and finding the accomplice who was hiding her, I shut down. After learning the same man who killed the chief's daughter nearly killed Beth, scared me. When that bitch laughed at Beth nearly being one of his victims, I lost it. I wanted to kill her right there, but Shawn stopped me. If she hadn't, I probably would have still been beating her when backup arrived. I got three good punches in before she was able to get me to stop. Blake had a bloody nose, cut lip and cut on her eye. Her scared eyes stared into my emotionless eyes. She knew if Shawn didn't stop me, she'd be dead. I knew now she'd stay clear of me and anyone involved in my life or I'd finish what I started.When she was taken away, I let my guard down, scared that Beth and Abbigail were home without protection. I was scared someone was going to get passed Shelby and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happe

Abbigail's POV I got upset when Melanie came in and said she and Beth wanted to have a night to themselves after we had already agreed the four of us share a bed tonight. Shawn did her best at calming me down, but it wasn't enough. With today's events and how she and Melanie came home, I needed both of them.Beth's moans echoed in the hall and was going to wait for them to stop before talking to Shawn about joining them in their room. I wasn't going to be able to sleep without Melanie tonight. Shawn rubs my stomach as I tried to go to sleep. A few minutes later it was quiet and I still wasn't able to fall asleep. I look up at Shawn and I didn't even have to ask. She wanted to be with them too. "They usually join us when they couldn't sleep. Do you think they'll mind if we join them because we can't sleep," I ask in a choked whisper. "We can try," she chokes quietly. We climb out of bed and quietly enter their room. Beth look
