“You forget I know you better than you know yourself brother” he takes a seat opposite
me
“Ava” her name slips out of my mouth in an anguished tone
“You care about her”
“Of course I fucking care about her. She’s the mother of my son” I snap at him, frustrated
The whole thing was frustrating me. She was spiraling out of control and I just didn’t know
how to help. her. I didn’t know how to be what she needs. I’ve spent so much time pushing
her away, that I don’t know what makes her tick.
“It’s more than that big brother, you just refuse to open your fucking eyes and see it” he
drawls.
He’s been on and on about that one issue. That my concern for Ava stem from feelings

and I have feelings I can’t describe, but love? I don’t think so.
“How’s she doing?” he asks when I don’t say anything else.
“She’s pregnant”
He stares and me with wide eyes and an open jaw. “With Ethan’s baby?”
“Who else would she pregnant for?” I ask him in irritation.
When I found out yesterday, something just shifted inside me. Knowing she was expectant

myself down. Her pregnancy now was proof that she did sleep with another man and for
some reason it fucking hurts and drives me insane knowing that.
It’s completely unreasonable. I wanted her to move on. I wanted her to leave me alone. I
was planning to
woe Emma and marry her later on. Yet now that I know that Ava had moved on. Moved on

deserved to be protected and that was what I was going to do.
Sir, this came in for you” Mike, my bartender hands me a small envelope.
He leaves immediately after.
“What is it?” Gabe asks curiously, moving to the edge of his seat.
“I don’t know” I tell him as I open it.
A piece of paper falls out. I unfold it and read it.
[I’m not one to go after kids, so you can rest assured that I won’t go after your son. I can’t
say the same. for the rest of your loved ones though. I’m coming for you Rowan and
everyone you hold dear]
It was signed in the Reapers insignia.
I should fear, but I don’t. All that registers is that they won’t go after Noah. That’s all that
matters to me right now.
I never want to feel the fear I felt when I saw her on that cliff. It was time for Noah to come
home. He has always been Ava life line, and now more than ever she needs him.
